Women and Gay, Hot Bods
Why do (some) women watch gay porn?
Why do women — especially lesbians — watch gay porn?
Well, not all women – probably a minority of them. But still.
I recently wrote that gay porn stars seem to have more fun than their straight female counterparts.
But gay porn stars are also HOT.
And how much of the allure comes from spotlighting — shall we say — a certain part of the male physique? Read the rest of this entry

Why do women watch gay porn?
Why do women watch gay porn in large numbers if they don’t find penises arousing?

Hooking Up Deprives Women of Marriage?
College hookup culture?
Women should stop hooking up because it stalls men’s maturity and keeps them from getting married. A lot of young women will never marry because men can get sex without commitment.
That’s what what a young man told me a few weeks ago. Read the rest of this entry

Virginity: Double Binds & Double Standards
Lost your virginity?
By Sabrina Szpetkowski
A close friend called me one morning, crying and asking me to come to her house.
When I got there I found her crumpled up on her bed. She told me that she had lost her virginity to her boyfriend the night before and she felt disgusting. She worried that if they ever broke up she wouldn’t be able to find someone else who would want to be with her because she wasn’t a virgin. Read the rest of this entry

Why Endure Excruciating Hookups?
Bad sex
Some women enjoy hooking up when it’s “friends with benefits.” Or if not friends, at least sex without malevolence.
Other times ya gotta wonder why they do it.
Women having bad sex
Like women who have sex with 13 men (at different times) but without pleasure. Because it’s about his pleasure and not hers. Or women who feel reduced to sex toys. Or women who “just want to get it over with.” Or women who say, Read the rest of this entry
