My feed aggregators often give me links to on-line versions of various women’s magazines. I usually don’t bother reading these as the headlines tell me there’s nothing to be learned. But on occasion, I check something out, usually when I need a laugh.

I’ve read suggested sex techniques that left me in the fetal position with my legs tightly closed. I’ve read about “the sex move every man secretly wants” and then wondered why none of the hundreds of men I’ve talked to have expressed a desire for that thing. Then there are the “mind blowing positions” that show a total lack of understanding of human plumbing and/or seem likely to end with a trip the ER.

I realise some of these magazines print several articles a month about sex and long ago ran out of sane material, but still! More often than not, the advice I read in such magazines has nothing to do with how real men think or what they desire sexually. Even when the advice is decent and fits a majority of men, it won’t work for men. This is true for any source, including this blog. Use things like this as a discussion starter. If you mention something and he looks like he’s in pain or stares at you blankly, try again.
