Sexy Times at GMP

Despite ostensibly writing for the sex and relationship section of The Good Men Project, it’s been three weeks since I’ve talked about sex at all. I’ve been rhapsodizing about traveling solo and mathphobia and naming traditions. The dry spell ends here!

This week is sex-filled indeed; I wrote about cunnilingus (Not technique or preferences, I promise). I surveyed a ton of people (including some of you, big thanks!) about media portrayals (or lack thereof), insecurities and relationship give-and-take regarding oral sex.

Still on Vacation, Take a Survey

Prepping to write about the social pressures, media coverage (or lack of it), and gendered insecurities around cunnilingus. Fun stuff, right? Help me out with your thoughts (anonymously, if you so desire).

Here’s s survey: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHo0T3VadVQ4NG5IMWZSRXNDVXhpNUE6MQ
Feel free to pass it on to friends, especially dudes!

First Date Sex, GMP Edition

Last week, The Frisky published my flowchart on putting out on the first date. Not to be taken literally, the chart was a very, very rough approximation of my personal thoughts on the subject. On a vaguely more serious note (though I do use words like “rando” and “freaky deaky”), I wrote about the subject for The Good Men Project this week. All of you who took the survey (thanks a bunch!) were immensely helpful in allowing me to get out of my own head and my own experience. Here’s the GMP piece, hope you feel I did you justice!

P.S. Props to Lisa at GMP for choosing the best photo ever.

“Textbook Slut”

Nope, it’s not some weird schoolgirl fetish if that’s where your mind went. Rather, “textbook slut” was a phrase used and defined in a comment on yesterday’s HowAboutWe article about the promiscuity line.

“Face it, ladies: if you’re 35 and still anywhere near as hot as you were at 20, you’re putting a LOT more work into it. If she’s still playing the field at that point, instead of having kids (or, as too many I’ve met, *in addition to* having kids), then she probably IS more concerned with adding more notches to her bedpost than to making one of them work. And that, lasses, is textbook ‘slut’.”

So glad we cleared that up… For the record, this commenter would like to assure “all you sluts foaming at the mouth” that he or she holds men to the same standard. Oh goodie. P.S. Pick a fucking pronoun, would you? Is this a second person diatribe or a third person observation?

In that vein, sometime in the next few weeks I’ll be writing about the pros and cons of sex on the first date. I would LOVE your thoughts. Feel free to leave a comment, or email sayhitorosie AT gmail.com. OR, because I’m all fancy, you can fill out a form! (Hold your applause… this is some low-budget shit up in here). The form might allow for some anonymity if you’re not in the mood to broadcast.
