The Hook-up: xoxoamore

Introducing xoxoamore.  And more specifically, we’re chatting with the site’s managing blogger, Erika Szabo. She and a couple of xoxoamore’s bloggers (who we’ll be talking to in the future), participated in the sex blogging panel at Playground. I was instantly intrigued that by the idea of a sex blog put out by a mainstream sexuality store…and whether it would be any different than the indie sex blogs.

Check out Andee’s editorial Some of Us Enjoy Being Called a MILF and chime in with your thoughts?  Do you think MILF is a negative term?

Discussing Sexual Fantasies

Sexual fantasy is concept I have always found quite fascinating. Particularly because I have known people who (and I do believe them) are highly sexual but who do not fantasize. That sounds incongruous to me, but this is what they say.At the same time? I’ve also known people whose whole sex life is based on fantasy, with a distinct lack of required reality. The article, Top Nine Female Sexual Fantasies, raises some great points about fantasy in general. Mainly, I appreciate how people are dissuaded from expressing their fantasies—to friends, partners, for fear of being thought of badly.Whether you choose …
