sex-bots

Soon people will no longer have to interact with one another in order to find an intimate partner. Fuck that, why go through all the awkward interactions when you can just go out and buy a $7000 sex-bot?

found over here

Also: how many of you out there think there is a male sex-bot on the market? I suggest you read the Globe and Mail's article Romancing the Robot for an idea on the matter. And by idea, I mean one guy's suggestion that by 2050 men and women will be jumping at the idea of having sex with a robot.

When did sex with a human being become unappealing or...less appealing??

I hate the idea of porn being the trendsetter, the sexual yardstick by which our sexual activity is measured. The sex in mainstream commercial porn is highly exaggerated; it’s choreographed primarily to look good on camera, not to feel good for the participants; it focuses largely on male pleasure at the expense of female pleasure; and it’s standardized to an almost ritualistic degree that would be laughable if it weren’t so sad. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Porn is not sex education. It scares and saddens me to think of an entire generation of sexually active adults getting their ideas about what is and isn’t normal / acceptable / desirable in sex from porn.

It’s been declared that the g-spot does not exist...

I remember in Sociology of Sexuality last spring discussing in class the current research that is going in to determine whether or not the g-spot does exist. My initial reaction was, "What a croc, who do these 'scientists' think they are, trying to justify that the g-spot doesn't exist? Who are they to say that I haven't had an orgasm originating from g-spot stimulation, or that neither have thousands of other women? I wonder how many of these researchers are men and just trying to justify not being able to find their lady friends g-spots."

Then further into the discussion, we also discussed the women who feel that they don't have a g-spot and the other sides to the arguments surrounding whether or not this is a mythical or real thing.

Essentially I came to the conclusion that perhaps the g-spot is all a psychological thing, that some women perceive an increased stimulation and excitement leading to an orgasm. I suppose I'm open to other people's opinions, and do agree that by saying there is a definite g-spot, it may make women who are unable to attain g-spot stimulation (or 'don't have one') feel dysfunctional, but a similar argument can be made regarding scientists who are trying to tell women that we don't have one, they never existed and never will, in terms of disqualifying our experiences.

I maintain that indeed I do have a g-spot, that I gain pleasure from its stimulation, and will continue to enjoy foreplay and sex because of it. Ultimately, I think people need to keep science out of the bedroom and our sexual lives (to a point, because knowing about the HIV and where our organs are and how they work is essential), because it puts a limit on what we then experience or allow ourselves to experience. AND because I think every woman should have the opportunity to experience the gloriousness that is a g-spot orgasm.

PS: This rant all originated from a post over at filthygorgeousthings: "Does the G Spot Exist? Fuck Yeah!"

When I have sex, I don’t just get off on my own kinks and my own pleasure. I also get off on my partner’s pleasure. The sight, the sound, the feel, of someone in my bed who’s getting excited and getting off… that’s hot. It’s not particularly selfless or noble of me — it’s just hot. The more I care about someone, the more true that is… And if you can’t get off on the sight and sound and feel of your partner’s pleasure — even if what you’re doing isn’t your particular favorite thing — then what the hell are you doing in a sexual / romantic relationship?

Are women as horny as men?

This video...oh man...



I agree with the bloggers over at filthygorgeousthings, most men are "just a little less uncouth about the whole thing".

Some day people will grow up and realize that the only thing vile about human bodies is the small minds some people have developed within them.

Sociology of Sexuality

I miss it. Here I am doing my sociology minor backwards, and I do not recommend it. Somehow going from really interesting material to the dry and must learn material just doesn't cut it. At least I get to finish up with a couple of good ones in the summer.

Anyway, as far as sexuality goes, this was probably one of the best memories I have from that class (from "The Death of the Stork: Sex Education Books for Children" by Wendy Simonds):

...Andry, Schepp, and Hampton's How Babies are Made (1979) and Baker's The Birds and the Bees" (1990) are more lackluster than the others in their descriptions of procreative sex:
The sperm, which come from the father's testicles, are sent into the mother through his penis. To do this, the father and mother lie down facing each other and the father places his penis in the mother's vagina. Unlike plants and animals, when human mothers and fathers create a new baby they are sharing a very personal and special relationship. (Andry, Schepp and Hampton, 1979).

When men and women mate, the penis becomes stiff and is inserted into the vagina, which has become larger and moist, ready to receive it. (Baker, 1990).

These authors make heterosex sound like a cross between directions for putting together a bookcase and a recipe for baking a cake. (I can't help but imagine the seductive dialogue, "Hey baby, I have some sperm I'd like to send you through my penis! May I insert it?" "Oh yeah, my vagina is large and moist, ready to receive!")

Seriously...this is what I studied.
