I’ve started feeling quite betrayed and resentful when I open up some popular magazines geared toward women. Maybe it comes with getting older, gaining more real-world experience of my own (and in my case, having a job that makes me end up talking to loads of people about sex and love), but I’m starting to see more and more useless nonsense in these magazines. And some of it is outright misinformation. So let’s debunk and get real about some of this propaganda, shall we?
1.The 69 Position
…and other similarly good-in-theory sex poses. I’m sure there are those of you out there who would endlessly tout the supreme greatness of this heads to tail bedroom pretzel but I’m not a great fan. Well, maybe for a bit of warm-up, but how easy can it be to climax when you’ve got to worry about balance and rhythm and placement and focusing just as much on what you’re doing with your mouth as what your partner is doing with theirs?
And this isn’t the only position I’m talking about; women’s magazines have taken a liking to listing the “Top 5 Billion Sex Positions You’ve Never Heard Of!” I’m sorry, I’m all for sex-perimentation, but who needs that many different ways to do it?
Most of them are more of a test in contortion than an actual improvement on what we already know. Word of advice: the places that get stimulated and feel good as a result of these magazine-approved maneuvers can get just as much attention from simpler, tried-and-true tactics.
Further word of advice: if you find yourself on your tip-toes, hanging upside or regularly pulling muscles in an attempt to spice up your sex life, your problems probably won’t be solved on the pages between make-up ads…try going back to basics.
2.All men can be “tamed”
Hell no, they can’t! And my vagina has some memories that makes it thank god that’s true. Some men (and women) have absolutely no interest in being tied down, wrapped up, and matrimonially bound. Maybe they will one day but let the sad, fruitless experience of millions of people tell you this: no free-spirited and sexually-ADD person is going to settle down by any other means than their own volition.
So you can follow all the tips you read and play the game right (and hey, sometimes it’ll work) but in general, if someone tells you they aren’t interested in being in a steady, committed relationship, and that they will likely try to sleep with your friends after you, they usually mean it. Enjoy them for what’s they’re good for, without trying to change them…you’ll both get more out of it.
3.You can look like Skinny McCelebri-hottie
I am all about tips and tricks for getting healthy and in the best shape you can possibly be in…the emphasis being on “you”. The reality that has women starving and exercising themselves into fits is that your body will only do so much. You can’t just eat the right foods, do the right number of crunches and suddenly look just like a celebrity who has a completely different body type than you. Plus, you don’t get to have all of your pictures airbrushed to perfection.
It’s an impossible comparison situation that has been setting women for disappointment for decades. I’m not the first to call out this lie and hopefully I won’t be the last either. The best advice would be to find a diet and exercise routine that makes you feel great, works for your schedule and gives you all that you need nutritionally. If you’re doing right by your body and continue to push yourself when you workout, all of your bits and pieces will fall into place, leaving you looking the sexiest and fittest that you can look.
