So you know when I said I could write a better column with my eyes closed?

Eventually I started wondering whether that was actually true.

In the end though I had to keep my eyes open.

nevertheless, here are TOP TEN SEX TIPS OMG )

More for my own curiosity than anything else, but I thought I might as well put them here.

If I wasn't preaching to the choir I'd add more justification and explanation to most of them.

Here to spare my parents from having to contemplate what exactly I get up to in bed (or on the internets).

So today I noticed a copy of The Times' 'Body & Soul' section lying around. I know I shouldn't have read it, but, well, I did. It sometimes has very sensible, interesting stuff in it... this time it didn't. I'm not going go through all the things that annoyed me in the entire thing, instead, I will just give you what the cover said:

THE MAN ISSUE )

Any assumptions you make based on these 'headlines' are probably correct.

So now let's move on to the final page of this worthy establishment... the sex advice column, named 'AGONY AND ECSTASY'.

Now, this column's Thing is that not one but two people answer the questions. One is Dr Thomas Stuttaford, whose credential for giving sex advice is that he is a medical doctor who specialised in genito-urinary issues, and the other is Suzi Godson, who is, er... married, I think. And she's written a book about how to have good sex ('leaves no gland unturned', sayeth one review, which tells you just how much it taught the reader about basic anatomy). I think the idea is that we're supposed to find the contrast between their approaches to sex very revealing and so on.

Dr Stuttaford's advice is all about the medical side where possible, and thus tends to come across as a bit boring (although it's always 100% factually correct and up to date). His advice on non medical stuff is pretty good too. Suzi's columns on the other hand tend to be lengthy flights of fancy that only address the question in the final paragraph, and then do so with coy metaphors, sexist stereotypes and advice worthy of Cosmo. She drives me nuts.

Anyway. This week, to celebrate the Man Issue, instead of answering a specific question, each give ten 'top sex tips for men'. Dr Stuttaford's go something like: foreplay before you reach the bedroom, good hygene, eat and drink sensibly, use condoms, any signs of STIs mean no sex, and some reassurance about penis size/erection issues/days when you're not in the mood. No surprises there.

Suzi, however, is particularly outrageous this week.

Why on earth do they print this crap? ...er, I mean, TEN TOP SEX TIPS FOR MEN )



For fuck's sake. This stuff makes me so angry. I could do better than this - probably with my EYES CLOSED.

they really have. Posted here instead of on my blog because it's not very grandparents-friendly, and is pretty much only for Oxford people to laugh at...

10 April 2004:

Dave just said I was oblivious to the innuendo...

(because his: so how many other times ahve I failed to notice?
Dave: um... 2 or 3, I think
Dave: it's not like I'm filling the conversation with innuendo or anything
(because his: not too bad, then :)
(because his: heh no
Dave: you're obviously just too innocent to take things the wrong way
(because his: is that a compliment?
(because his: either way, it's true. I alternate between being glad and being annoyed
Dave: yeah, I suppose so
Dave: it's also a shocking double-entendre, but there you go...
(because his: lol, I give up
(because his: finding them, that is
Dave: heh heh
Dave: to be honest, it's nice to speak to someone who isn't sniggering and thinking "heh heh - penis" all the time
(because his: good :)
(because his: wonder if I'll ever reach that stage...
Dave: make sure to tell me if you ever do...

...amazing, isn't it.
