Music to get Down and Dirty to

In theory it would seem that a best friend would make the perfect relationship partner. But like a lot of things in life, what sounds good on paper isn’t necessarily good in practical life. The biggest risk of upgrading from a friendship to a relationship is the potential to lose a really good friend.

Usually I found it easier to strike up a relationship with someone I’ve just meet. The person is a fresh face in your life, you don’t have too many preconceived ideas about them and if things don’t workout, there’s not too many preconceived ideas about what they’re like as a person and if things don’t workout, its not such a big lose.

Who is your favourite Bond?

October 27th 2006 01:12
With the imminent release of 007 Casino Royale, we’ve once again been bombarded with the huge media pitch that is aimed at getting seats in the cinema. I’m looking forward to the new Bond. For a start there’s the fresh legs of Daniel Craig with some big shoes to fill. I’m a little apprehensive with how he’ll fit the role. There have been times he’s almost looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights during press and media events. Although, I didn’t see anything discouraging in the trailer.

The boys were pretty testy at work last week and the topic of Viagra became the subject of the afternoon trash talk to get us through to the 5 o’clock bell. These are all healthy, sexual functional men in their late 20s to late 30’s. Despite the fact that none of them had any impotence or erectile dysfunction, all of them had used and loved Viagra.

They qualified the revelation by saying that it was not an everyday thing. Apparently, it’s just a way to upgrade to a full weapons grade arsenal as they so eloquently put it. A way of, “showing the wife which side her bread is buttered on.’ I was somewhat stunned by this new knowledge. I had always just associated Viagra with seedy old men and the unfortunate souls who were having difficulty with the olde boy. The idea of introducing it to a perfectly functioning member had never really crossed my mind. Afterall, if it ain’t broke why fix it.

I’ve done a bit of research and come up with a list of the popular things guys report as the first thing that they notice in a girl that they’ve just met. According to the polls and online forums confidence and physical appearance is well up there.

Generally the trend is that an open, outgoing, fun and confident personality is the first thing that will get a guy’s interest. After that the attention is quickly drawn to the physical assets. Breasts, body types, eyes, smile and booties come in secondary. They’re listed as an additional benefit in developing the initial attraction.

Why does alcohol make us horny?

October 23rd 2006 01:27
When sober I’m a relatively reserved kind of girl. I’m not the touchy feely type. It’s not that I hate getting hugs and kisses or general physical contact. I just don’t need it, nor do I really think to initiate a random hug or kiss when in public. Some might consider me unaffectionate, I don’t think that is necessarily true. I just don’t feel the urge to go canoodling in public.

A few drinks under the belt and any claims of an unaffectionate character are most certainly thwarted. There is something about alcohol that triggers the amorous switch in me. Not that I think this is terribly unusual. It seems alcohol gets most men and women in the mood.

The media will always push the sexy buff bodies as the ultimate prize when it comes to sexual attraction, but is it necessarily a reflection of what we hunt for when it comes to sexual attraction? I’ll certainly admit that physical attraction plays a significant part in what I look for in a sexual partner. However, if someone can’t string together two coherent sentences, their sex appeal can plummet like Jordan and Peter Andre Disney duet. So to what extent does the brains component of attraction play in the hunt for a sexual partner? Is it a factor of greater importance than physique?

Take for example David Beckham, considered as one of the sexiest males in the football world. I’ll be the first to admit, he’s a fine specimen of a male… if only he could keep his mouth permanently sealed. My problem with Beckham is that as soon as he utters a mere fragment of some scattered thought process, he suddenly becomes as sexy as ugh… I donno… Michael Bolton. Despite his apparent lack of brains, it hasn’t done much to tarnish his enduring status of a footballing sex god in the public eye. People will snigger at his ridiculous voice, yet I doubt many females would pass up the opportunity to tap that Beckham ass.

Tips for perfecting a great kiss

October 19th 2006 00:52
Yesterday I laid some groundwork for a great kiss and covered some of the aspects that turn a good kiss sour. Today I’ll look at some of the brighter points that convert a good kiss into a great kiss. If there’s one thing from this post let it be;

What makes a great kiss?

October 18th 2006 00:55
There are two kisses that will be forever burnt into my memory. One with Brett circa 6 years ago. One with Gerard, about 3 years ago. On both occasions, it felt like time stopped. Its crazy that I can remember both kisses so vividly to this day. In general, both fellas were hella kissers - the standout kisses were the first, but I never had a bad lip locking session with either Brett or Gerard.

Just as vividly as I can remember the good, I can also remember the bad. My first high school kiss was terrible. It was so scarring I was turned off kissing for the remainder of my formative high school years. Agh… there was teeth and tongues in all the wrong places at all the wrong times, nose clashing, an ocean of saliva and breathing was an apparent issue. I felt like I was getting some variety of kinky CPR/rehydration procedure.

How did you meet your partner?

October 17th 2006 01:15
Yesterday I did the typical girly thing and blabbed to the whole world about this new guy I just met and the first date. I’m always interested in hearing the stories of how couples met. They always seem to be under these chance circumstances. A twist of fate and suddenly these people bump into their compatible match. So share your stories quirky or mundane about how you hooked up with current or previous partners.

My parents got together by my crafty dad deciding to cut his rental bill by getting jiggy with the landlady’s daughter. It’s a pretty fun story of courtship and shows some tenacity on my fathers side.

And just like that Ruth found a man…

October 16th 2006 00:51
Wow what a whirlwind just a few days ago I was lamenting about having never been in love then last night I meet a guy who I felt this amazing connection with. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it love at first sight, but there was something slightly different about the way that I was attracted to him compared to past guys that I’ve dated. Its difficult to explain. There wasn’t this gushing emotion, the rush of endorphins that I might get when I make eye contact with a stunning specimen of a male. This was totally different. I just had this incredible sense of ease and comfort around him. I felt safe, secure and totally relaxed. I thought it was sort of bizarre. I mean Hollywood would have you think that first dates should be these momentous experiences of gushing hormones. There was no gushing, instead it felt like we’d know each other for the past ten years.

The creep thing that got me was the amount that we have in common. Both of us studied the same university degree and work in related fields. We’re interested in the same kinds of music, films and entertainment. Political, religious and social views are on the same page. Both have live in Japan and loved it. We’re both planning on sailing around the Caribbean and South America in a similar future time frame. We even drive the same make and model of truck. I felt like I’d found a male twin.

How many times have you fallen in love?

October 13th 2006 00:51
I was reading some mind numbing tabloid babble this morning, 40 Things You Should Do Before You’re 40. It was this ‘amusing’ leaflet my mother had sent in the mail. I kind of just flick over it and mentally check off what I had and hadn’t done, what I didn’t want to do (get divorced… wtf?) and was all together a little bored with this supposedly inspiring editorial. Then I got to point number 34, the big stumbling block…

“34. Fall in love. If you haven't experienced it already, it's time you found out what inspired all that poetry.”

Can an open relationship work?

October 12th 2006 00:42
Sunday night and I settled down to the drone of mind-numbing TV and a six pack to really mull over the pros and cons of an open relationship. This issue came up yesterday when one of my friends had her boyfriend propose an end to exclusivity in their relationship.

I’ll take a stab and assume that the majority of people would think that an open relationship is simply a way of permissible cheating. It’s for those who can’t commit, those who don’t truly love/respect their partners and those that have serious relationship issues.

Who’s open to an OPEN relationship?

October 11th 2006 00:48
Saturday afternoon and my friend, Sandra has called me in an utter state. Between all the tears, sniveling and incoherent blubbering I managed to translate that her boyfriend dropped the O-bomb on their relationship. They’d been dating exclusively for about a year but over the weekend it became apparent that the one and only Sandra just didn’t cut the mustard anymore, he wanted an open relationship. I arranged to meet Sandra for some Kath’n’Kim style pavlova comfort food and good chick bitch about the situation.

According to Sandra, it all started a couple months ago. The sex was still good but it was no longer the earth shaking experience it once was when couples first hook up. The boyf wanted to inject a bit more spice back into the bedroom and wanted to invite bring an additional bedfellow to the party. It was a big step for Sandra, but provided there were some ground rules she was happy to oblige in a threesome as an occasional treat, by no means was it to become a regular thing.

Man Boobies

October 10th 2006 00:25
I walked into this morning’s work meeting to discover a rather off male game of “my man boobies are bigger than your.” I’m the only female in the office and since I’m considered ‘one of the boys’ I’m in a unique position to see these nuggets of males at their finest on a daily basis. The game consisted of each of the guys contracting their pectoral muscle and using every posing technique to display the extent of their chests. Business shirts were stretched back and nipples were virtually rocketing out of the material. I’m sure some even wore patterned shirts in order to give a fuller figure.

Each male would proceed to touch, poke and squeeze whoever happened to be sporting their goods at the time. There was a whole lot of oh’s, ah’s, jesting and vulgar jokes. The think that real struck me was that the boys obviously believed that their man boobs were a physical attraction to the opposite sex. I can’t speak for all girls, but god damn, how off the mark could these guys get?

You wake to a throbbing headache, confused, disorientated and in unfamiliar surrounds. Your temples pulse and you mind scrambles at snail’s pace to try to reconstruct your last memories. The jolt of waking is somewhat soothed as you become more familiar with the environment. A wave of comfort follows as it dawns on you that you haven’t woken up in a prison cell, on a nature strip, median strip or park bench sans a wallet. Nope, you’re in the buff, snug as a bug and the birds are gently chirping outside your window. By all accounts it seems like the night was topped off perfectly. Chuffed with your luck you smile and roll over to inspect your prize.

It’s usually at this point when the smile disappears like a sock in the laundry. There’s confusion… “shit, did I even stick it in?” An attempt to retrace the steps. And a fumbling quick check to make sure everything else survived the wash.

Dating someone who doesn’t drink.

October 6th 2006 03:20
Wow! Call me fickle, call me a piss pot, but I just dumped a guy because he doesn’t drink. Well, it wasn’t the one and only reason, there just wasn’t that certain chemistry, however, I will admit that the final nail in the coffin so to speak was his abstinence from alcohol.

We’d gone on a couple dates together after meeting at a local pub one night that was showcasing a small live band. I thought he was kind of cute and whilst it was difficult to make small talk in the small confines of the noisy bar we arranged to meet up that weekend for a coffee just round the corner.

Fighting nice in a relationship

October 5th 2006 00:52
Fights, squabbles and arguments are bound to come up between any couple. Most of these little tiffs aren’t too serious and aren’t relationship breakers. The unfortunate thing with fighting is that in the heat of the moment it can be very easy to blurt out something that’s inappropriate, cruel and just plain nasty. These comments can transform an argument into a full blown personal attack. It doesn’t just stop at the verbal abuse, some may physically lash out to vent their frustrations.

A healthy relationship should be able to survive the odd fight. I think it is somewhat unhealthy if the relationship is completely void of a bit of friction. When it comes to fights there are a few rules to fighting nice. There is absolutely nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone, but when the disagreement turns into verbal or physical abuse, the argument has lost its direction.

The marriage rights debate has been a bit of a sore thumb in just about all cultures and countries. Some states and countries have taken the leap and permitted gay marriages whereas others are sticking to the conservative model for marriage. Rather than rallying for everyone to allow everyone to marry, perhaps we should be abolishing marriage all together.

Marriage seems to be a way of dividing and discriminating the population. The are laws within Australia that protect those in de facto relationships but the lines are far more blurred than for those in a legally binding marriage. Get the right lawyer and a de facto can weasel their way out of any fall out situation. Gay couples can just about forget any legal rights or benefits they may be granted as a couple.

Teenage Heartthrobs

October 2nd 2006 00:29
Confess… confess… who was your teenage heartthrob? The one you’d spend endless math classes day dreaming about and covered every square inch of your school folder with magazine cutouts?

I was never all that excited by Brad Pitt. Which probably made me the only girl in my school that didn’t have a vendetta against Gwyneth Paltrow. When news that the engaged couple broke there was a state of chaos in the school grounds as a flock of frenzied pubescent girls suddenly realized that Brad was back on the market. It didn’t take all that long for the hate mail to start getting redirected to Jennifer Aniston.
