If you had to lose a sense, which could you live without? I don’t have an answer, but I know I couldn’t live without touch. In love, sex, and relationships, touch conveys many things: a sense of security, passion, and sometimes commitment. Without touch, there would be no sex, and in my opinion, life without sex is a tragedy.

After countless conversations and a few years of analyzing, I’ve realized one thing: love is not black and white–love is very gray. Love is different for everyone. Some define it by emotional connections or companionship, but one thing is for sure; everyone wants “love.”
It’s a huge turn-on when, in the heat of passion, the connections are seamless. It’s like driving a manual car: in the hands of a competent driver, the ride is as seamless as in an automatic. You start off in first gear, getting the engine warm, then really get the wheels turning in second. Next you switch to third and things are really starting to heat-up. In fourth she really shows what she’s worth, and if you’re lucky, you can get into fifth. From there it’s a smooth drive. Some men can switch gears in the bedroom like professionals; others fumble through the steps like a kid forced to drive a stick shift for the first time in driver’s ed, stalling several times and having to start over.
When girls kiss other girls in public, men applaud. When men kiss men in public, many pretend not to notice. Experimentation between girls is considered perfectly normal. These women are just curious. However, men who have experimented, or even thought about experimenting with other men, are often considered gay. I don’t believe that women are simply more affectionate people. The only reason men don’t experiment with other men, is because of the social stigma that such behavior makes them gay. I do believe that if society “approved” such behavior that more men would explore their sexuality. However, this isn’t the first faux pas to quickly erode through the social conditioning of mass media. The loosening of other such taboos can be tracked and partially attributed to the depiction of these taboos on T.V. and film.
Growing up as an only-child, I rarely made sacrifices. I was late in learning how to share, have patience, and practice selflessness. Now I’m dealing with the consequences. It’s impossible to be in a serious relationship without learning how to surrender.
Cheating: to practice fraud or deceit; or informally to be sexually unfaithful.
Although this definition seems clear-cut, what constitutes cheating in a relationship is often ambiguous. For some, cheating includes intercourse but not oral sex. Some count French kissing but not closed mouth kisses. But what about holding hands or snuggling — physical acts that are more associated with emotional connections than physical acts of passion? To take it a step further, can you cheat without physically touching someone else? Is fantasizing about someone else during sex cheating? What about flirting online? Believe it or not, Wikipedia actually has a page for this subject, describing it as an affair of the heart.
Women either love receiving oral sex or hate it; there’s no in-between. I don’t understand how you can hate something that can be so pleasurable, and sometimes, quite frankly, that will give you the best orgasm you have ever had. Self-conscious thoughts should be thrown out the window ladies because the smell, taste, or sight won’t be enough to make him stop if he knows you are getting pleasure from him. Unless of course you really need to take care of the aforementioned items discussed in my post, 5 turn-offs for him.
After some serious thought and input from a few close male friends, I formed this list of five common turn-offs for men. Disclaimer: this is not the TOP five, but merely five things women do or possess that are complete and utter turn-offs. I also suggest that female readers ask your well-kept and clean male friends their opinion on if you can check yourself off this list.
At my former job I met a man I’ll call Scott. Scott came in multiple times to specifically seek my advice and stayed roughly an hour each visit. We talked about each others’ lives, specifically love and sex; I like to think these subjects are my forte and I talk about them with most everyone. The majority of the the conversations were about his ex and recent dates he went on. Once, when it was time for Scott to leave, I was on my way out for lunch. As we walked out together I said, “You know I don’t have that many good guy friends that I can chat with around here. We should be friends.”

Everyone has their preferences when it comes to the opposite sex. I prefer dark hair, light eyes, and a man who stays in-shape. I focus on my figure and expect the same from men. However, don’t misunderstand me when I say preferences. I prefer certain characteristics, as do all women, but there are some things that are major turn-offs for most females.
