Is mind-blowing sex a myth?

Found this article from somewhere... can't remember where... if you own this piece of writing, please leave a post and I will be happy to credit you.

What is mind-blowing sex anyway? Romance novels have always fascinated me in the way they depict the act of sex, the feeling of sex and the whole idea of sex. Just can't relate to it. Perhaps it's because of the Asian culture.

An example is the exagerration of oral sex. Is it that pleasurable? I've read of women climaxing from oral sex. Just doesn't seem possible to me. And do you think a guy's tongue can penetrate the vagina? Not unless the tongue is as hard as a penis can be or the girl's vagina is a wide open hole. I think that romance novels glorify sex and give girls, especially young girls, false impressions of what it's like. Don't forget that the characters are usually uninhibited and there is rarely the mention of the consequence of accidents happening.

We often receive emails telling us how much better it is to have sex than to go jogging. You brun more calories, you stretch more muscles, you live longer, you're healthier, you won't die of heart attack or stroke, you have betetr relationship with your partner... blablabla... Yes, we know it's healthy, but we need to know what more comes of it. What about the pain and the diseases and the emotional attachment (for young girls)? Everywhere you hear that sex is beautiful, experiencing an orgasm is like going to heaven and back. Really? Seriously?

I think most statistics show that women who don't, outnumber women who experience orgasms. So will it always be a myth to most of us? Will I ever experience it? Is it suppose to be more than than pleasure. It seems that we are never well-informed on the matter. We only learn from TV and books. Not that the sex we have now isn't great. But when will we ever know if such a thing as wonderful, mind-blowing, earth shattering, soul-out-of-the-body sex every exists? Someone... anyone... please tell me it does...

Kissing saves your life!!!

I was watching Discovery Channel on Astro today while waiting for my Joe to get ready for dinner and there was this program called Secrets of Kissing. So interesting. It seems that there are millions and millions of bacteria in your saliva and when you lick your lips, you put a few million of them on your lips. So it's suggested that you don't go kissing babies cos you might give them diseases.

However, good news for us adults, who go lip to lip, tongue to tongue. Our immunity is boosted 50% when we kiss. And our saliva has anti-viral properties, which they are trying to determine if it could ward of AIDS. So while you may catch the occasional flu and cough through kissing, you won't die. And if done often, you exercise your face, reduce sagging, boost immunity, get relaxed, work better and live longer. Good eh? However, according to the documentary, social kissing is somewhat overdone these days. According to this old lady in the documentary, people cheapen the act of kissing by kissing people they hardly know. Especially at social events like high society parties. They kiss people they don't know to make others think they are close and look associated. The kissed party will be miffed but cannot say "Get out of my face!" to the kisser cos it's not polite to do so. As well as people who kiss publicly, like on TV or on a stage. That's tasteless. We should keep kissing as private as possible. In cars, rooms, MRT, busses and etc.

And the big info is... guess what? Kissing is a better predictor of relationship ties than sex. It seems that people who kiss often seem to be more intimate and loving and this is a better predictor compared to sex. Cos maybe you have lots of sex but you don't really spend time cleaning each other's teeth. I can say that Joe's teeth are squeaky clean. Which means that I'm doing a good job and we're on the right track, eh? Not to say we don't have enough sex though. More on that in my next post "Is mind-blowing sex a myth?".

Anyway, I wonder if it's true kisses can melt people. I don't fancy being melted. I just feel a little warm and fuzzy when my Joe kisses me. But other than that, I never feel the urge to moan or wiggle as depicted in those romance novels my mom has in her bookshelf. Do you think fiction ever tells the truth? But no matter if it's going to melt me or make me moan and rub myself on Joe, I'll still kiss him because it is an act that would keep us together. What's more, anything that keeps me from sagging is a must do on my list!
