Good morning!

Well…what can I say…I just love when the topics of sex and relationships are discussed here. I enjoy posting topics that inspire conversations even if I don’t have much to say at the moment of print. But today I am inspired to join in…just a bit. Now, because I have entered into an entire new world of exploration, these days I am feeling open to considering new ways of doing things. That is what is so exciting about being single again. The world is my oyster, or perhaps I am the oyster. :)

I used to be a serial monogamist, aka: “mini marriages”, a term that Robert, RT coined a few years ago,  in his very honest and illuminating write that to this day I still read and pass along to my single girlfriends, young and old. I had never thought of myself in “mini marriages” but after reading his write, I knew that was the label that I proudly wore without realizing it.

I still love the concept of monogamy – I guess I read too many romance novels that tweaked my love gene into believing that I was “the one”, he was “the one” – was attainable. Ahh…young love can be so innocent and beautiful…until it ends.

Perhaps it is the writings by Ym and others that post of their unrequited love that keeps us women believing that someone out there feels that way about us.

I still have HOPE - that is the deeply rooted romantic side of me…and honestly, I like that it is still present. But in the mean time, I am going to be practicing something that is not my norm, and venture into whatever I desire.   

Anyway, I am inspired by the life you are living PrP. Perhaps it is not what you truly desire but it seems that you have made it work. I have left the life of monogamy behind me…for at least awhile and am open to seeing what develops in my romantic relationships.

Zen Lill: Thanks for the link. I will check her out. Although I have been in a romantic relationship with the same man for quite some time, as you know, :) I found that in my past relationships, the “Oh you again” factor didn’t really creep in. Perhaps it is because I am into exploring new ways of excitement to keep it fresh. Love surprising my lover…and roll playing gives me the freedom to do whatever it is that brings me pleasure…and not surprisingly – a woman who knows what she wants and goes for it in the bedroom – that in itself is a turn on.

Marilyn: All I can do is laugh at your comment. Don’t you know that Hell throws the best parties?

Nelson: A girlfriend of mine just told me the other day that her husband and her just decided that they were going to try an open marriage. It was his suggestion because  - well this is what he told her- he sensed she was not happy so he said,  ”Why don’t you find a lover”. She was excited and had someone in mind that she had met recently.  I hadn’t seen her in a few months but noticed right away that something was different. She was rockin’ her look and after our conversation, I knew why. I say, with all of the divorces these days, if both are open to it,  try something different and see what works. I claim to be no expert in the area of relationships but I will say open communication is definitely key, as well as mutual respect, and agreed upon “rules” so to speak.

Alycedale: Hooray!! We now have permission. Thank you Lance!

Readers: I think that is a good place to end. I needed this conversation this morning. Thanks for keeping it going.

And now…today’s Topic du Jour – something that won’t surprise any of us. Another study of Fox viewers…just in case the first study didn’t convince you.

Study Finds Fox News Viewers Least Informed Of All Viewers

Another study has concluded that people who only watch Fox News are less informed than all other news consumers.

Researchers at Fairleigh Dickinson University updated a study they had conducted in late 2011. That study only sampled respondents from New Jersey, where the university is located. This time, the researchers conducted a nationwide poll.

The poll asked questions about international news (Iran, Egypt, Syria and Greece were included) and domestic affairs (Republican primaries, Congress, unemployment and the Keystone XL pipeline.)

The pollsters found that people were usually able to answer 1.8 out of 4 questions on foreign news, and 1.6 of 5 questions on domestic news, and that people who don’t watch any news were able to get 1.22 of the questions on domestic policy right.

As the study explained, though, people who watched only Fox News fared worse:

The largest effect is that of Fox News: all else being equal, someone who watched only Fox News would be expected to answer just 1.04 domestic questions correctly — a figure which is significantly worse than if they had reported watching no media at all. On the other hand, if they listened only to NPR, they would be expected to answer 1.51 questions correctly; viewers of Sunday morning talk shows fare similarly well. And people watching only “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” could answer about 1.42 questions correctly.

Other networks also did badly in some sections; MSNBC viewers and Fox News viewers both fared worse in answering international questions than people who watched no news.

People who only listened to NPR or watched Sunday morning talk shows or “The Daily Show” did the best in the study.

(h/t Poynter)

UPDATE: Fox News hit out at the school responsible for the study on Thursday. A spokesperson for the network told The Hollywood Reporter, “Considering FDU’s undergraduate school is ranked as one of the worst in the country, we suggest the school invest in improving its weak academic program instead of spending money on frivolous polling – their student body does not deserve to be so ill-informed.”

Good morning!

I have always been interested in the simplicities and complexities of relationships…the “hows”, the “whys”, the “why nots”, etc.,  Now that my romantic relationship has ended, I find myself perusing articles on relationships a bit more than I used to…with a different set of eyes…eyes of a single girl.

Is Cheating a Rational Choice?

Despite the loosening of sexual restrictions in recent decades, open relationships and cheating remain highly stigmatized. However, focusing on the problem of cheating distracts us from focusing on the problem of monogamy. Long term sex with just one partner leads to less sexual desire for that partner, regardless of the strength of the emotional relationship.

Those entering into their first serious romantic/sexual relationship are misled into thinking that monogamy is capable of providing a lifetime of sexual fulfillment. They believe that if they truly love their partners, they would not desire sex with others. This, we are told, is because monogamy is healthy, proper, moral and natural. Conversely, anyone challenging this is socially stigmatized. But with 13 million people in 22 countries looking to have a marital affair on Ashley Madison.com alone, it suggests that, for many, monogamy is more of a desire, than practice. This is true of both men and women.

My sociological research, combined with the work of psychologists, biologist, anthropologists, and even endocrinologists, suggests that monogamy is an uneasy fit for human beings. It’s a fashionable social expectation, but not a biological desire. This means that there is a gap between what we want sexually and morally. The gap is less noticeable when entering into a relationship. But despite the frequent and intense sex of the honeymoon phase, sexual habituation quickly sets in.

Interestingly, the relentless urge to have sex with someone other than one’s lover grows stronger as the emotional strength of the relationship develops. When every cell in their body is craving sex with someone else, monogamy begins to feel like sexual incarceration. But this growing sexual desire does not indicate that one has failed to love their partner. In fact, choosing to stay with one’s partner, despite wanting sex with others, suggests that they do love their partners. They simply want sex with someone else to fulfill their sexual desires while keeping their emotional relationship intact. If they failed to love their partners, they would be more likely to leave them, particularly if they do not have kids or a mortgage together.

It is at this point that couples ought to have the social freedom to discuss the various forms of open sexual relationships. But because these more honest forms of loving are culturally condemned, we must either choose to live with the agony of longing for sex with someone else, or cheat — something which the Internet has made far easier. Conversely, asking for an open relationship is more likely to result in break-up, or at least increased surveillance, so cheating becomes a more viable option for most.

Cheating therefore exits as the only rational choice to have one’s emotional and sexual desires met in a culture that stigmatizes open relationships/marriages. Cheating serves as a way to meet sexual desires, with as little disruption to their emotional lives as possible. I don’t condone cheating, but I condemn the expectation of monogamy for setting up this conundrum in the first place.

In response to my research (which focuses on men), some choose a moralist stance, arguing that men should not act on their desires, no matter how strong. When confronted with the incontrovertible evidence that sexual frequency and quality dies as a relationship grows, others choose (in heterosexual relationships) a woman-blaming, victim-blaming strategy. Research consistently shows that men want more sex than women, and this places the onus of responsibility on women to meet men’s sexual needs. Women are told, often by other women, that they need to put more effort into meeting their husband’s desires to prevent them from straying.

Others seem to want to doom those unhappy with monogamy to a life of loneliness, suggesting that if they desire sex with others, they should never enter into relationships in the first place. Still others wish for the family unit to dissolve, simply because one has cheated. In all of these cases, the cultural condition of monogamy fails to serve the family well. All of this “morality” tears families apart.

Few, however, highlight the obvious answer to the dilemma of monogamy and cheating — sexually open relationships. Here, in an egalitarian manner, a couple reserves emotional fidelity, while structuring in rules for extra-dyadic, recreational sex.

Thus, the way out of the monogamy gap is for us to begin equally valuing sexually open relationships, alongside monogamous ones. When there is no stigma to having an open sexual relationship, men and women (of all sexual orientations) will begin to be more honest about what they want sexually, and how they desire to achieve it. Only once sexually open relationships become a viable cultural choice — free of stigma or hierarchy — will we be able to talk honestly about what form of relationship would serve us best.

Good morning!

“Just noticing…”

…I have been hearing so much about this new trilogy of erotic writing that has women in quite a frenzy, panting as they read page to page. The first of three books is called “Fifty Shades of Grey“, and the author is E L James.

Here’s a recent write, although I have to say that the video with Ellen Degeneres steals the show.

Fifty Shades Of Grey Goes Viral

I couldn’t get away from it. My girlfriends were talking about it; columnists were writing about it; “Saturday Night Live” was spoofing it. It was all I heard about.

Then I was getting my hair cut in the quiet sanctuary of the salon I go to, but there was an unusual buzz all around me — and it was unmistakably those same four little words.

“Fifty Shades of Grey…”

What is going on?

Erotica has been alive and throbbing since the days of Ancient Greece and Rome, when someone scrawled those first steamy, toga-ripping words on a piece of papyrus. But in my lifetime, I’ve never seen a public reaction quiet as breathless (as in panting) as the collective sigh inspired by E.L. James’s erotic S&M series. Is it possible for an entire nation to have a simultaneous orgasm? Apparently so: the “Fifty Shades” trilogy now occupies the number one, two and three spots on the New York Times Bestseller List. Even Henry Miller never scored that threesome.

So I buckled under and bought the damn books. I finished the first one yesterday, and I have to tell you: I get it — though I went into this with my antennae way up. My long-held passion for women’s issues made me very wary about anything that puts women and violence on the same page — literally.

But Ms. James is smarter than that. Following the lead of Anne Rice and her neck-baring vampire series, she builds a love story between an unlikely, surreal couple, then proceeds to throw every conceivable obstacle in their path — primarily a damaged, abused and abusive, secretly vulnerable, seemingly incurable sadist as her leading man. Suddenly the question becomes: Can love tame this baddest of bad boys? That, I believe, has a lot to do with why “Fifty Shades of Grey” has successfully made millions of women’s knees wobbly across the country.

As for the sex parts, yes, the series shines a white-hot light on mysterious places in the human sexual psyche. But the secret sauce in this book — and, I’m presuming, the entire series — is that it’s also about power, specifically how one woman’s power proves to be the perfect checkmate for her man’s power.

When Anastasia Steele first meets Christian Grey, the relationship could not be more imbalanced — she’s a recent college grad and a virgin in all interpretations of the word; and he’s a gorgeous, brooding billionaire, so practiced in the dark arts of domination and bondage that he actually asks Ana to sign a contract of slavery.

But 500 pages later, the tables have turned. Refusing to sign on to a game in which her pain is his pleasure, Ana cuts Christian off with defiant indignation. In no unclear terms, she tells him that “vanilla sex” (his term for any kind of sex that doesn’t end in the word “ouch”) is what she wants — and besides, she loves him. And unless he’s willing to play it her way, she’s gone.

Does Anastasia ultimately lose this battle of the boudoir? Does Christian storm off in search of some other dungeon-worthy babe, only to discover that Ana has imprisoned his heart? I don’t know yet — I just started Book Two last night.

Meanwhile the debate goes on. Some mock the writing as pulpy and purple, while others find the story demeaning to women, while still others don’t care about any of that — they’re just using the book to put some spice back into their love life.

But in any case, we’ve been here before. Love it or hate it, every generation has had its “Fifty Shades of Grey” — from “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” to “Tropic of Cancer” to “The Story of O” and “Fear of Flying” — and it’s been fascinating to witness the heated conversations and online parodies this book has ignited across the country.

Take a look:

*E*R*O*T*I*C*

Readers: So…what are your thoughts? Has anyone read?

From the amount of comments this morning, I see that many of you were able to post. As always, thanks for being here. Blog me.

Peace & Erotic Love…

Good morning!

Kathy: Except for the Brown snake epidemic, I really enjoyed your chronicles of Guam. Lucky you for getting to send so much time there and the chance to visit the Trench. Knowing how I love island living/weather, Guam sounds like home to me.

Social Butterfly, Zen Lill: Thank you. She was a great woman, and will be missed by all. We are celebrating her life on Saturday and I expect it to be wonderful. PS ZL: I like what you said.

Anna, Peter: Hafa Adai. So nice to hear from both of you! I realized after seeing both of your comments that it has been awhile. How is everything?

Cn: I like what you wrote. I say, “People don’t police themselves”. I think I stole that thought from Anonz. But it is so true.

SS-1: Hmm…like that quote. Unfortunately it really matters what people read, and watch on TV, and in this modern age, what they read and watch on the internet. It is amazing to me how many people watch FOX, and stupidly believe without really doing their homework. It is destructive and irresponsible at worst and lazy at best.

Ída: Following Whisper’s lead, in one word, “Yes”.

Roger, Roger, Roger…Does it not occur to you? Perhaps your wife is doing and thinking the same same thing. You know the song don’t you? Got to love it. Sometimes it makes a woman a better partner, especially when she’s getting it good and the pussy is primed.

This one’s for you:

Love the song – Diggin’ the dancing and the green suit!

Grace: Payback is a bitch isn’t it?

Brenda: I agree with the “was my best friend”. What is wrong with women who don’t share this vital information with their girlfriends? Women need to know when their so-called “man” is doing “indiscretions” behind their backs.

A note to all Girls: Be a true girlfriend and Tell TELL TELL about the LSOS!

Helen: Exactly right. Women make the biggest mistake thinking that their relationship is going to be different…that they’re going to be the one to “change him”. He wouldn’t dare cheat on me. Yeah right. You will surely be disappointed and most likely hurt.

Morgan: Well you got one thing right, I do love Obama. The only idiot in your little comment is Hasselbeck.

Trish: This topic was on my mind this morning.  So this one’s for you.

Lawrence O’Donnell Rips Newsweek’s Obama Gay Marriage Cover: America Is ‘Wicked Stupid’ (VIDEO)

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Lawrence O’Donnell ripped Newsweek on his MSNBC show Monday night for itsprovocative cover celebrating President Barack Obama’s endorsement of same-sex marriage.

After showing an image of Newsweek’s cover featuring Obama with a rainbow-covered halo above his head (or as one HuffPost editor fondly dubbed it—a gaylo), O’Donnell called the magazine “wicked desperate.”

“Newsweek had two headlines they were thinking of going with,” O’Donnell told his panel. “‘Please Buy This Magazine’ was one…and the other was ‘The First Gay President.’”

O’Donnell seemed to take issue with the fact that some Americans may believe Newsweek’s headline as factual statement about the president.

“We live in a wicked stupid country, okay,” O’Donnell said. “This is a country that believes, in a very substantial proportion, that Barack Obama is a Muslim. Huge number, millions and millions of people…like 30 percent, think he wasn’t born American. They think he’s Kenyan. Crazy, crazy beliefs. And Newsweek, it seems to me, has to consider the responsibility of sending out into such a collectively stupid country and stupid electorate this thing, which is the only sentence in Newsweek that most people are going to read this week – the sentence on the cover.”

O’Donnell added that the cover and headline could perpetuate more misinformation about the president. “The ‘Obama is gay’ number is now going to go up to 35 [percent],” O’Donnell said, referring to the portion of the population that could mistake Newsweek’s headline for fact.

Watch the discussion in the video above. The exchange comes at about 3 minutes into the segment.

********

NW: You may feel like you have stepped into an insane asylum, but when I read the lies, rhetoric, all-about-me, bigoted comments of “Anyone but Obama”,  I know I have.

Alycedale: Coattails. Obama needs “coattails”.

This is a good place to end. The forum is open. Blog me. 

Peace out.

I thought this would be an interesting topic- knowing my readers – one that might inspire quite a bit of back and forth discussion.

Girls: Listen up.

Cheating Signs: How To Tell If Your Spouse Is Cheating (VIDEO)

How can you tell if your spouse is cheating?

In a video posted on the “Anderson” show’s website Tuesday, licensed private investigator Amy Drescher says unfaithful spouses — especially men — tend to give a common response when pressed about suspicious behavior (say, new computer passwords or unexplained late nights outs).

“The more [the woman] starts to press him, there’s one thing that I commonly hear that she hears from him… he’s going to tell her, ‘you’re crazy’ and every time she confronts him again he’s going to remind her, ‘you’re crazy,’” Drescher explained. “It’s important for her to realize she’s not crazy — that there is a significant reason why she’s having these doubts.”

Other signs that your partner may be cheating, according to a February 2010 Marie Claire article? Less sex and a tendency to be overly protective or antsy when receiving calls or texts.

Here’s the article from Marie Claire:

Nine Signs He’s Cheating

Readers: Click over on the links for more. And click on the above main title if you want to read telltale signs tweeted from girls and guys. What signs are hints to you that your spouse could be cheating? Blog me.

Scott: With such an important election this year, I welcome all of the political “experts”. I HOPE that those who oppose are reading here and they will see the other side, the logical fair-thinking, let’s benefit all, vote for Obama, side.

Don’t worry, there are plenty of other things to post and discuss (and we certainly cover most here :), but you can bet that the closer we get to election, the more the political banter. And I welcome it. I HOPE you will too. :)

Peace out.
