I really didn’t plan for my first post to be about sex. But that happens to be what I’m riled about just now. Thanks to a recent spate of kids’ appointments and various similar opportunities to peruse women’s trash magazines for which I would never actually pay good money, I’ve been enlightened as to just how unenlightened these publications, and women in general, are regarding how to have a good sex life.

To give you an idea of the type of advice offered in these “Have Hot Sex With Your Man Tonight!” articles…they tend to involve a beach at sunset, slinky lingerie, and/or fantasizing that your partner is someone else. Let’s get real. Unless you’re on vacation and are jonesin’ for sand up your crack, what grown adult is going to rescue their sex life on a beach? And if you have to pretend your partner is someone else, why aren’t you with THAT person instead??

Okay, so let’s move on. Candles…sweet little notes…a romantic, painstakingly prepared gourmet meal…this could work, but still, it’s only going to happen once in a blue moon, especially for those couples who have children. Role-playing is another favorite of sex advice columnists, and I gotta say, if anyone - man or woman - can actually get turned on by watching their partner parade around in a ridiculous get-up, hey, have at it!

Research indicates that up to 40% of women are sexually dysfunctional in some way, and only 30% experience vaginal orgasm. Tune in for my next post, which will delve into the question of whether that many women are truly sexually flawed, or if there is something else at play…
