Hooking Up Realities,
Tidbits,
What Guys Want I’m off to visit my daughter, who’s studying abroad, but I’ve scheduled some posts to be published on my mostly normal schedule (M,W,F). I’m taking my laptop, but based on her crummy online connection, I’m not really sure whether I’ll be able to get to the internets. I hope to, because I love doing the [...]

Tidbits,
What Guys Want Guys are knuckleheads. I say that with the greatest possible affection. There are some ways in which no guy ever grows up, and while that can be maddening, sometimes it is just so damned charming! Glimpsing the 10 year-old boy that a man once was feels like a sneak peek into his vulnerability. And signs [...]

Hooking Up Realities Today I’ve got some links that are going to scare the pants right back onto you. I’ve written before about cameras and sex, which, let’s face it, can be a total turn on. Pics of yourself and your lover naked can be a very effective way to build anticipation, whether you’re in a long-distance relationship, [...]

One of the reasons that young people prefer to hook up casually is that they are hesitant to get emotionally invested in a relationship with an expiration date on it. The school year ends, people study abroad, job offers come from different cities, as do acceptances to graduate school. Most people can expect to be [...]

Tidbits The Frisky found the most wonderful video called My First Crush by Julia Pott. It’s made even more charming by the British accents, which make any ordinary sentiment sound special. Wendy Atterberry accompanies it with some charming remembrances of her own girlhood crushes.
You can find more awesome stuff by Julia Pott at her MySpace page.
So let’s [...]

Hooking Up Realities,
What Guys Want
I propose that straight men try watching gay porn for a change, so they can learn what women want.
What, you don’t find that intuitively obvious? It actually makes perfect sense. I can explain. Research shows that online porn is the single largest source of sexual information for young men. They watch it alone, and they also [...]

Ahhhh, I am such a cynic about Valentine’s Day. But leave it to Bella English at the Boston Globe to get me all sentimental. Reading this story reduced me to weeping and sobbing this morning.
Men like Cesar Muniz are bound to be rare. But there are plenty of good and decent guys out there. Don’t [...]

Tidbits I never met a chick flick I could resist. There are some that I watch at least once a year, no matter how old they are. Never Been Kissed, anyone? Since the book He’s Just Not That Into You is self-help with no story, I am very curious to see what they’ve done with the script. [...]

Girl Talk,
Relationship Strategies Marie Claire has a dating blogger named Rich Santos, and I find his bits kind of sweet and charming. And he’s very honest. Too honest, sometimes, as in TMI, and he’s not always, er, PC on the feminism front. Well, over at Jezebel, they’ve been none too pleased with Mr. Santos lately. They’ve got a [...]

What Guys Want
“Kissing-and I mean like, yummy, smacking kissing – is the most delicious, most beautiful and passionate thing that two people can do, bar none. Better than sex, hands down.”
Drew Barrymore
I’m afraid that young people aren’t kissing as much as they used to, especially during sex. Last weekend I watched Rules of Attraction, a 2002 cult [...]
