Salome

I'm bored with 'Sex and the Media.' There doesn't seem to be any new information out there. Obviously, I have not read, heard, seen everything, but it seems that what i am coming across is all the same information. Every sex book I have come across begins with a section (that seems mostly geared towards women) about embracing sexuality and how it is not an evil, dirty thing to shy away from. But, even as a growing girl, I knew that, favored as I was with liberal minded parents among other things. Get past that chapter and there are many good things to learn, but again all the same stuff- sexual positions, how to give a good blow job, how to talk sexy, feel sexy and what people are attracted to, i.e. noise-y partners, partners who participate enthusiastically, changing the routine, role-playing, pleasuring yourself. All things that once you've learned is then much more fun to figure everything else out on your own and with friends, but primarily in a more personal setting. I once perused a sex book, I think it was called The Good Girl's Guide to Bad Girl Sex, and was advised that when finding my 'sexy voice' to hum to a high C and the down to a low C and that range would be your 'sexy voice range,' ummmm, clearly this woman has no concept of music but that's another rant. Moving on. I just haven't come across much in awhile that makes me think 'oooh, I want to try THAT then!' What I'm discovering for myself is much more exciting. I am enjoying a few sex blogs these days, but they don't do sex 'tips' more encounters and stories. Eros.com is a favorite of mine and of course the minute HBO Real Sex comes out on DVD I'm buying it. I think we need to expand 'sex tips' and 'sex shows' these days to broaden people's minds and not just tell them the best way to give a blow job, which is misleading as each person likes something completely different and you can't go into a new relationship doing all of the things your ex enjoyed and expect it to be the same sex. I'll come back to this and organize my thoughts a little, but decided a good ranting was necessary. If I was to give some sex advice it would be, laugh about sex and enjoy trying new things together that might go wrong, but might go very very right.

addendum: For some more musical information. Salome was a one act opera by Richard Strauss that premiered in 1905. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salome_%28opera%29
It was a scandalous offering to say the least. The story of Herod's prurient daughter who ordered the execution of the man she had fallen in love with, John the Baptist. In the final scene she precedes to go mad as she kisses and dances with his severed head before her own death is ordered by Herod. This opera also includes the famous Dance of the Seven Veils, in which each veil is removed until she lies naked at Herod's feet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_of_the_Seven_Veils
