Blog Snog (02-20-09)
A weekly roundup of sex- and love-related posts from some of our favorite blogs.
- YourTango explains why men are sloppy kissers. Apparently biology can explain all that tongue action.
- Our hilarious pals at the Frisky present their 44 Steps to Dumping a Boyfriend (their response to that genius video going around, How to Break Up with Your Girlfriend in 64 Easy Steps).
- Liza at CollegeCandy helps break down the latest sex research: Turns out when a man sees a photo of a woman in a bikini, the part of his brain associated with empathy shuts down. Yay.
- Thanks to LiveSteez for this: Bristol Palin says that, on second thoughts, maybe abstinence-only education isn’t “realistic.” What’s that saying about the toothpaste and the tube…?
- But according to PopEater, Joe Jonas doesn’t care: He’s still wearing his purity ring, dammit! Er, Gosh darn it.
- The gals at Feministing catch Details in a truly trashy moment.
- Jezebel wonders what your mama used to call your vagina, so they can pass on the wisdom to all those mothers of girls who find the term vagina a bit too vagina-y.
- Thanks to BitchBuzz for reminding us that it’s not always “stalking” — sometimes it’s just “taking a chance and going after what you want.” Because, sure, some guys are just not that into you, but plenty of others are just not that sure what they want and need a little gentle persuading.
I rolled my eyes at that first article. Women’s sex drives are largely driven by *their own* testosterone, so if I were to kiss a woman with a higher sex drive/testosterone level than I have, it follows that I would be more likely to wriggle out of my boxer-briefs for her, regardless of tongue or not. And this: “It was instinctive. He didn’t know any better, Char.” More bullshit “boys will be boys” double standard nonsense. They took an interesting factoid about testosterone content in saliva and plugged it into a traditional gender roles model. After reading that article over at Your Tango that completely disrespected the profession of massage therapy, and now this, I can’t take them seriously.
Y’all’s Glamour columns kick(ed?) that whole website’s ass, anyway.
Hrm, I must be over-tired due to all that testosterone in my saliva.
