Here is a countdown of the Top 10 “Living Sex Legends” based on the number of women they claim to have had sex with.
Why? Likely because men are more stimulated by the visual whereas women often prefer erotica where their imagination can fill in the blanks.
Why? Studies say that it’s because men spend most of the time needing to be the ones in control. So, relinquishing that control is the turn on.
Why? That’s an easy one. Men dream about sex. Women do as well. There are just fewer statistics on the subject because, according to Planned Parenthood, there is less “evidence” to research. (This lack of “evidence” may also be why research tells us that men average 11 erections a day and nine per night. But we don’t have comparable stats for women).
Why? Personal preference, I suppose. But a survey of sex shop owners came up with this little factoid. And they certainly would be the experts on that count.
Why? To get the job done, of course. Sperm are on a mission to fertilize, so the heartier the better.
Why? Well, some argue it’s because she’s not worried about him ever buying the cow, if you follow the metaphor. A woman with a Ph.D. doesn’t need to use her milk to get a man in order to support herself, she’s got a degree to help her make the big bucks. So, sex can be about pleasure for women in the same way in can for men.
Why? Well, the disparity likely comes from the fact that women have historically and unnecessarily felt guilty about having sex for the first time, a feeling most men do not have. It is also a result of women not knowing what to expect since the topic of sex was, for a long time, concerned improper for women. Then there’s the issue of not having a partner who is able to please her since the old in and out doesn’t work for a woman the way it does for a man.
Why? Women like the auditory simulation much like men like the visual. Studies show that women find pleasure in talking dirty and doing it inspires their partner to do the same, which they also find arousing.
According to the April ’11 Bottom Line Health, an affliction called “postorgasmic illness syndrome” makes a man is allergic to his own semen. “For such men, runny nose, fever and other flulike symptoms may occur within 30 minutes of ejaculating and last up to a week.”
Also reported in that issue is a warning about bisphenol A, a chemical found in some plastics—and on cash register receipts. It easily passes through the skin and into the bloodstream and can cause sexual dysfunction in men. Another reason for men not to go shopping.
Cinnamon, cardamom, peppermint, pineapple, mangos, apples, grapes, Parsley, wheatgrass, celery, and lemon all make semen taste sweeter. Alcohol, garlic, onions, coffee, meats, broccoli, seeds, milk, and smoking cigarettes all make semen taste worse (either more bitter or saltier depending on the substance).
The most dangerous sex move is to blow air forcibly into a girl’s vagina. Accidentally or intentionally, this gesture can be lethal. The cause of death is pulmonary embolism (the obstruction of an artery). This can cause sudden death within around 30 minutes from the experience.

For all of you that have taken statistics, that means you have an 8% chance of getting preggers. Let me say that clearer: the chance of you having a small person come out of you in 9 months is 26 times higher if you don’t take your b.c. regularly. Noooo, thank you. (For more important facts about your pill, click here.)
That means that even if you are negative for the disease today, you won’t be in the clear until you have another negative test 6 months from now. And that only applies if you haven’t engaged in any high-risk sexual activity.
This one was in a Safe Sex pamphlet that Susan so generously gave me. Not that I’m recommending that everybody run and try this one out, but just use that fact to put things into perspective. Or as a very handy excuse to say no if/when your partner ever puts in such a request.
Yes kids, that includes STDs and other icky things. I can also testify that being drunk makes having sex, especially enjoyable sex, just that much more difficult to maneuver.

I wanted to take on the role of the stud. The more [partners], the better.”
