Reading is a Good Habit

I love Cosmo magazine.........and Hello, and OK, and Closer and Marie Claire and Elle.......I can already see people writing me off as one of those bimbettes who don't know that the term 'reading' cannot be related to the above. But I don't quite care. Why Cosmo (I have just realised) is my favourite is because it poses as the 'knowledge-giver' to the uninitiated, or indeed the experts. And boy, can they count! '10 ways of making your man moan', '45 ways of turning the heat on', '300 ways of power dressing', '365 things that you should know about sex', et cetera. You have NO idea how informed I am now. Me, from the land of the Kamasutra (a much loved Cosmo word, btw). I don't take the quizzes, which must disappoint Cosmo editors, but that is only because I am so busy 'getting into his mind and his pants' (on paper, you perverts!).

I actually spent an entire hour inside a coffee shop on one of the rare sunny days we have. In complete silence in the company of a close friend. Me reading Cosmo (surprise!) and she, Closer (she is the boring type who prefers reading about Charlotte Church's adventurous night out). So there was nice hot cup of green tea in front of me, a sinful chocolate chip shortbread, across the table from a girlfriend, with only occassional 'aahs' and 'ohs' to break the silence. At the end of the session, I was so much wiser, willing to share the new skills with fellow females...but alas! most of those I wanted to rush to talk to were a 9-hour plane journey away...... in the land of the Kamasutra.

So I shall load up on more knowledge in the meanwhile..... '8 sizzling sex lessons your man should know' and '7 steps to ultimate confidence'....... after I know 'what sex feels like for him'. Hold your horses, people...... you'll be passed that info on soon!

MY GODH, AARTI! You approach sex like you approach your dissertation. hehehe. I can almost imagine methodically trying out each way(hehehe.. very robotic I would say). If you love someone truly deeply, then your feelings will guide you truly to what you have to do. Of course its just my belief. :) And I refuse to say anything more. hehe

Oh, I got a name for your approach, "Pedantic sex" (like Tantric sex)

Hmmm...while nothing in this post makes me go *OMG* as I have known you for almost a decade (now this, this makes me go OMG - purely becoz it reminds me how old we are - OMG, OMG :P), I have made a mental note to send an email to Ads to report The Pupil's progress :D

When you're both nekkid, neither of your brain's are going to be doing the thinking.

Strong sense of deja vu here. Have you posted a similar post somewhere else? And have I replied in the same way?

Screw Cosmo. Go watch porn.

I don't think porn will answer stuff like '365 things that you should know about sex'. Enlightening women with that kind of gyan is the very raison d'etre of Cosmo.
