Out From Under

Tiny Asian woman advances upon larger Asian man, some tiny confection of satin and lace in her raised fist. Man backs away, trembling, shivering. “No! Anything but that!” He shrinks visibly, cowers in the presence of … her panties?
There’s a lot wrong in the country of Myanmar (also called Burma). The military regime is powerful [...]

Count to ten. Then do it again.
Try it a week from now.
And a week after that.
In fact, try it once a week for a month, and you know what you’ll get? Besides your pre-kindergarten graduation certificate?
Attention, apparently. Yup. Seems that hormones, those messers with the moods, libido, energy, dreams, and goodness knows what else, also [...]

The last time lingerie was the focus of social reform, it was going up in smoke. Literally. That, however, was then. This is now. These days bras are are no longer implements of the dark side, symbols of the repression and objectification of women. No, now they are being revered for their power to Do [...]

“You’re not serious!”
“Sure I am. Why not?”
Mark is a neighbour. We head out for a pint every few weeks. We gossip about the neighbours, chat about our jobs, our relationships. It’s not deep, but it’s friendly and convivial. Lots of laughter.
This evening has been a bit different. Our usual very quiet pub had been invaded [...]

Softpedia tells us that the Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey (year unspecified), found that New Zealand women lead the world in randiness.

Go through his checklist of merits and demerits for husband and wife, subtract demerits from merits, and see how the other guy/gal [...]

That last post I wrote. The one about communicating during sex? (Or foreplay, as the case may be?)
You recall how I extrapolated from the data and conclusions of the study and made generalizations to apply to the population at large?
When I did that, I was participating in something that bugs me.
That study, you see, was [...]

A recent study has determined that women are too subtle in bed, and men too obtuse.
Stop the presses!! Really?!?!
Further, “poor male introspection” causes men to translate the things women say according to what they would mean if they said it.
No! Really??
(I could insert a paragraph here doing the standard “why is money wasted on studies [...]

Hooray, hooray!
The first of May!
Outdoor fucking
Starts today!
It was a quaint family tradition: Every May 1, my grandfather, who lived in the house adjacent to ours, would declaim said verse, loudly and with enthusiasm. My grandfather, it must be noted, was in full and devilish control over his lucid sensibilities. This was not the ribald meandering [...]
