He Said/She Said: Cuddle Time

cuddling_intro

Don’t get me wrong, I love me some sexy time, especially early in the morning. But as much as I love to kickstart my day with a roll in the sack, there is nothing I heart more than a really good cuddle sesh. Totally girly, I know.

How can anyone not love it, though? Just laying around, feeling the adoration of your partner… It’s what sets the one night stand apart from the real I’m-totally-into-you relationship and, in my opinion, the most intimate act a couple can do.

Everyone knows that guys don’t feel the same way, though. If you’re not boinking, they want no part of it. But why is that? And how do we get our dudes to devote some quality time to being the big spoon? I asked and a dude answered. Here’s what he had to say: Read More »

He Said/She Said: Can Guys and Girls Be Friends?

It is one of life’s biggest questions: can a guy and a girl be friends (and nothing else)? Can two people who really like eachother on such a personal level not take it to a more physical level? Does one person always want something more from the relationship? And if they do, how do they take it to the next level?

Ok, so that is a lot of questions, but this is a topic that people have debated since long before Harry met Sally. And I want the truth!

I have lots of guy friends (many of whom weigh in on these topics every week), so I was curious to know their thoughts. Do they secretly want me? (And if no, why not?!) Here is what a guy had to say. Read More »

Word on the street is that Glamour has perfected the recipe for engagement (literally. It’s chicken.)

While the end result will look like you slaved away in the kitchen all day, the meal couldn’t be simpler to create.

It worked for me (I still get requests from my boo to make this), so give it a try and let’s test the success rate!

001.JPGWhat you’ll need:

Two cuts of beef of your preference. I use Filet Mignon because it usually has the nicest marbling and is most often the leanest. However you can subsitutue with strip, for a stronger beef flavor (a male favorite) or porterhouse, which is fattier with a richer flavor (just be prepared to work around the bone with this kind.)

1 lemon

2 medium sized baking potatoes

1 bunch Asparagus

4 oz. Baby Portobello mushrooms

Seasoning Salt

Cooking twine

A steamer with basket

Small saute pan

*Optional

1 cup chicken broth

Bearnaise Sauce (I cheat and use the store bought packets)

Public Displays of Gropery: How PDA are You?

gropping.jpgImagine my shock when I cracked open this month’s Cosmopolitan to read about how I could be the “perfect girlfriend”. Okay, that just made me sound like a huge loser. I was really after the article on new ways to wear shorts and my all time favorite way to waste a Friday afternoon- Cosmo Confessions, the girlfriend how-to manual was just an added bonus.

Now, I take Cosmopolitan with a grain of salt, mainly because I’m convinced they print the exact same things every single month only with different pictures. I mean, there can’t be unlimited number of things “guys crave in bed”….unless it starts becoming appropriate to discuss the realm of the extreme kink in a magazine that doesn’t have a plastic casing. The day I see an expose on anal sex or something, is the day I’m canceling my subscription and moving to Singapore. Forget this.

But back to the whole perfect girlfriend thing. According to the Editors of Men’s Health, 97% of Men’s Health readers want a women who’s willing to show her love in public. “Men want a woman who’s confident enough in her sexuality to make a move, no matter the circumstances,” says the author of VoiceMale.
