I came across these two quotes on sex from different centuries - two different cultural and era-related opinions that are in sharp contrast to each other. The funniest thing is that Twain compares sex to farts and Paglia assumes that women are not so in tune with the metaphysics of sex - what do you think?
“Of all the various kinds of sexual intercourse, this has the least to recommend it. As an amusement, it is too fleeting; as an occupation, it is too wearing; as a public exhibition, there is no money in it. It is unsuited to the drawing room, and in the most cultured society it has long been banished from the social board. It has at last, in our day of progress and improvement, been degraded to brotherhood with flatulence. Among the best bred, these two arts are now indulged only in private— though by consent of the whole company, when only males are present, it is still permissible, in good society, to remove the embargo on the fundamental sigh.” Mark Twain 1879
“Sex is metaphysical for men, as it is not for women. Women have no problem to solve through sex. Physically and psychologically, they are serenely self-contained. They may choose to achieve, but they do not need it. They are not thrust into the beyond by their own fractious bodies. But men are out of balance; they must quest, pursue, court, or seize…. How often one spots a male pigeon making desperate, self-inflating sallies toward the female, as again and again she turns her back on him and nonchalantly marches away. But by concentration and insistence he may carry the day. Nature has blessed him with an obliviousness to his own absurdity.” Camille Anna Paglia 1990

“Give me a kiss to build a dream on…”
Famous words from an oldie but goodie song! The song may be dated but the message certainly holds true even today. Most of the time our first sojourn into the physical realm with someone we find attractive starts with a kiss.
Do you remember your first kiss? I do. It was wet, saliva abundant and quite assertive - but what I can I say? We were young teens in the bleachers of the high school - fast and furious comes to mind. But my first kiss that I REALLY remember (big impact) came on the doorstep of my parents’ home, one warm summer evening. After a fabulous first date, he kissed me gently but firmly and held me close - yes it’s a cheesy description but true. It was the promise of more to come. It kept me wondering for awhile what could be better than that?
I think the best kissing happens in two scenarios; when we really care about the person or we are really keen to get into bed with them. The first kiss becomes the gauge from which we anticipate and look froward to the next step. We’ll often count the days until the next tryst is scheduled.
What kisses do you remember the most?
Welcome to the first day of summer and the longest day of the year.
Consider today the official launch of flip flops, bikinis, beach umbrellas and picnic baskets. Let’s raise our glasses to lazy summer days, balmy evenings and cabana cocktails (and if there’s a sweet cabana guy thrown in, then all the better!)
Here’s our top five suggestions for great summertime romance;
1. Take a hike in the woods to get back to nature and distance yourself from the hustle and bustle of the city. Take along a scrumptious lunch and lots of water in your backpack. Find a remote spot along the way that would be perfect to take a break and share a sexy kiss or two.
2. Spend the day on the beach - just the two or you. Nothing feels better than sun-kissed skin that glistens in the heat of the day. Don’t forget the sunscreen - and when you apply it on each other, work in a quick massage for total relaxation.
3. A special candlelit dinner on the patio at sunset can be picture perfect. It can be as simple as picking up a few tasty bites for an “a la carte” spread - think European mealtime - a baguette, a few cheeses, grapes, wine and some sweets.
4. Rent a weekend getaway for a retreat for two. Look into lakeside properties or a woodsy cabin. Quiet time together is always a big deposit in your relationship account.
5. Stay spontaneous with your scheduling throughout the week. There’s nothing worse than getting a text late in the afternoon to go and join some friends on a patio somewhere, and you have to reply that you’ve already got plans.
Happy Father’s Day tomorrow to all the Dads out there from everyone at Love Nest Home Parties.
If your partner is a great Dad to your children, consider a special treat for him, and him alone. After he has unwrapped the ties and tools from the kids, and after the family celebrations have come to an end, give him a gift just from you.
Surprise him with a full body massage, a bath drawn for two and a bottle of bubbly. Or how about wearing a sexy thong for him to “discover”….However you decide to show him how you feel, make sure you take some time to really enjoy each other.
