Women And Sex

The Guardian:

Women like to write about sex. In the last 10 years alone, women have written books about spanking, anal sex, prostitution, swinging, body fluids, S&M, casual sex, tantric sex and sex over the age of 50. These can be emotionally honest as well as oblique; they are always sexually graphic, often funny and feminist in their politics.

Yeah, I think women are coming more aware that detailing sex can be powerful and intimidating for some men, in that they know what they want and are particular about it. I have a lot of female friends who love to detail their sexual encounters, liked and dislikes as a way of taking control over their sex lives as opposed to merely being a part of a man's sex life. I think its a good thing. Men should be more aware of what they need to do to satifisy and keep the interest of their partners. This isnt the 50's. It is far from being taboo and should be celebrated a fun, form of expression of love and desire.

It's a lot easier for women to have as much sex as they want to (such as the authors who are prostitutes). In general, the rare good looking guy who is having a lot of sex is both too dumb and too busy to bother writing.

Good, it's about time. I'm tired of hearing certain women(not all mind you) complaining about "how men just don't know what we want(sexually)"... How are your husbands\boyfriends supposed to know UNLESS YOU SAY SOMETHING... Men don't have ESP... I was lucky. My wife let her feelings be known on the subject early on in our relationship-- probably explains why we get along so well! LOL! ;-)
