Do Men Prefer Romance Over Sex?

This is a really interesting study. I’ve long been fascinated by the potential differences between men and women when it comes to visual imagery.The long-held belief is that men, generally, are stimulated visually while women are stimulated by aural or written erotica. It is also generally considered that men like the hardcore and women want the softcore.Surely all rules are made to be broken and Ashley Thompson’s study seems to indicate as such.Who’d have thought men would be into romance?Not current society. Not our cultural assumptions.I know I’m all romantic and I’m definitely all about falling in love. But I …

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. And it is, but in great ways. xoxoamore is a fantastic site of articles, advice and a wonderful video series.   How did you get into blogging? Hmm… Oddly enough, my job as …

Provocative response to the term “MILF”

Frequent (and beloved) Sex In Words commenter AndeeSC2 took to her own blog to fiercely react to people who are not fans of the term “MILF.” Seems a cookbook has come out called The MILF Diet: Let the Power of Whole Foods Transform Your Body, Mind and Spirit Deliciously which has, as Andee notes, gained more notoriety for it’s name than recipes. 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?
