Top Ten Mistakes Men Make In The Bedroom

While I was mourning the shutting down of KING magazine, one of my favorites, I began looking through my old back issues. In one of them, I found this list. It was made by Melyssa Ford (Google her). Let me know what you think.

1. Thinking that foreplay starts in the sack. The timer for enticing does not start once you hit the sheets. Your pre-game show is best approached as an all day affair. Women love to be wooed. Sex is a head game, in more ways than one, and women want to know you can't get them out of your mind. We love knowing that we are desired.
Men, whether your plan is to get some, rev up her engine or bring her to fast orgasm, your strategy should begin long before you enter the bedroom.
This isn't necessarily because women need a lot of time to get warmed up. Given that a couple of my girlfriends can attain an orgasm in a minute or two, at least by themselves, my sense is that the "statistic" that women need an average 20 minutes of foreplay before penetration tends to be overused.



2. Going south too soon. Do not pass go and collect $200. Diving in for the genitals too soon usually isn't the best idea. A woman needs to be properly aroused before any below-the-belt action feels good.
Be sure to focus on her entire body, head to toe, before going for the gold.


3. Ignoring the clitoris. Many men think a woman's orgasmic ability is due to penetration. Yes, there is certainly pleasure in this part of the performance, but the bell of the ball is being left out of the party.
More than 70 percent of women experience clitoral orgasm when it comes to maximum reaction, so men need to make sure they are not ignoring the clitoris. It also helps if you actually know where the clitoris is located. Some have been known to rub the urethral opening, which can be a big no-no for some ladies.


4. Missing the G spot. In digging for buried treasure, many guys don't know that X doesn't always mark the spot. Found on the front wall of the vagina, a woman's G spot may be a little higher or lower, or more to one side than the other, than often depicted.
Its size may also vary, from as small as a pea to as large as a quarter.
Hint: She needs to be aroused before you even have a prayer of finding it.


5. Becoming too goal-oriented in your efforts. There is nothing more endearing than a man who wants to play. Just don't get caught up in yourself. Your sexual exploration should be playtime for two.
Stay present in the moment. Connecting with your partner will bring the ultimate climax to both of you.


6. Gaining weight and still thinking you're attractive. "For better or worse" should include weight fluctuations, but don't let yourself go completely.
You don't know how many women have complained to me about the double standard in staying attractive: Women are expected to stay hot-to-trot, men aren't.
So if you want continued star treatment for your rock star performances, know that Meat Loaf isn't the singer to emulate.


7. Not knowing about her need to be naughty. Sometimes she needs to get in touch with her adulterated side. In fact, research has found that women are more aroused by explicit fantasies than romantic ones. Forget the prince on a white horse or canoodling on the beach.
Many women enjoy all sorts of erotica. Don't be afraid to play up her far-from-virtuous visual nature.


8. Thinking she's supposed to act like a porn star. When I was in the height of my video career, I couldn't believe how many questions I received from men about how to get their lover to do something specific in bed.
As seen in porn films, many men expect their lovers to fulfill their every fantasy. Remember that porn is fantasy, not reality. Expecting her to act like a porn star is simply not fair.


9. Thinking you're supposed to look like a porn star. Despite what XXX-rated films indicate, most women are not lusting after the three-legged man. The Mandingo package deal doesn't do it for most.
Last weekend, this topic came up with my girlfriends over cocktails. As the ladies crossed their legs, the overall consensus on "larger than life" was: "What are you supposed to do with that?"
Maybe some women are up for the challenge, but many are fine with the guy who fits within the norm. Don't be too hard on yourself for being just that.


10. Believing one orgasm is enough. She's just had a mind-blowing orgasm, maybe two. So she should be perfectly content, right? Wrong.
Women are not nearly as quick to come down from their aroused state as men are post-sex. Many can be launched right back to bliss, and many women do crave more action and orgasms, even if they were perfectly satisfied by the first experience.
Even if you're exhausted.

I'm not sure how I feel about this list. It kinda puts me in the mind of the age old saying that, "Women are never satisfied & You can never do enough for a woman". It also seems strange to see this list when I hear women complaining about not getting sex then bashing the sex that they get. If I had to summarize the list, it would look like this: 1-10. YOU"RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT!!! I think I'm gonna try to make my own list of the Top Ten Mistakes Women Make In The Bedroom. It's gonna be pretty tough, because most men don't have complaints in this area. We are easy to please. If I'm lying guys, please let me know. Maybe I'm just the average confused, man pointing the finger everywhere but at myself. But that's just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?

How Babies Are Made



...and I don't see any good reason to tell my daughter any different; but that's just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?

The Good Wife's Guide

Back in the day there was a magazine entitled, Housekeeping Monthly. When I say back in the day, I mean baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack in the day. In their May 13th, 1955 issue they had a little list that they ran entitled, "The Good Wife's Guide". When I read it, I was reminded of how drastically the ideas of Home, Wife, Family, and Husband have changed. I'm gonna post at least one of these things per week and I want you guys; especially the women, to tell me what you honestly think.

Prepare Yourself- Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work weary people.

Ya know, I don't think enough women today wear ribbons in their hair. 1955 was truly a simpler time. But that's just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?

Things I'm Gonna Do Different #3

I was in a six year relationship that recently ended. I have decided that I am gonna do something different, if and when, I decide to get in another relationship. The reasoning is that if I do something different, then the outcome will be different. I made a list of 10.

#3. Sweetie Cakes- I never going to stop treating her like she is my Sweetie Cakes. The nickname will help me remember what she means to me. It kinda makes me think of sexy & sweet. I'll never stop talking to her like she is my Sweetie Cakes. I'll do things with her that I'd only do with/for my Sweetie Cakes. I'll share chores around the house. We'll work together in relation to future goals and accomplishments. I'll do things just to make her feel loved, especially when she might be feeling down. I'll take more pride in the way that I look and act, for her; but I'll never let outside things have more of a importance than what I feel inside my heart

This one pointed out so many things that I did wrong. I was horrible when it came to chores, I always looked at her bad days as moments for analysis instead of times for care and comfort, and never thought much about my appearance in relation to her. I'm gonna try and see if it helps. It couldn't hurt. But that's just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?

Naked Blogging

A very good friend of mine brought this suggestion my way, so I decided to give it a go. As I type this, I am sitting here naked. It is a little odd. Mainly, because I had no idea how uncomfortable this chair is when it is just your bare butt against it. I must have eaten some cookies or something on here also because I can feel the crumbs under my tuckus. I must say that this is not the liberating experience that I thought it would be. Right now, all can think is, "What if there is some kind of technology that can allow my webcam to instantly come on and broadcast to some remote site?" or "What if someone can see me right now through it?" The paranoia is getting the best of me. This is nothing at all like hands-free peeing. I cannot type what I just did. NO, NOT THAT!!! SICKO!!!I'm in a spinning computer chair and tried spinning very fast to try and get the propeller thing happening. Didn't work. Well, at least I gave it the old college try. Naked blogging is not all that it is cracked up to be. But that's just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?

P.S.A.




Just because the weather is breaking, doesn't mean we don't have to be careful. But that's just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?

Built For This

The mental health profession is a pretty tough and thankless job; but every now and then we get a glimpse of appreciativeness and it feels good.
Recently, I was assigned to council a student that almost everyone had threw their hands up with and given up on. I understood why, because this particular kid had more issues that a year long subscription to a bi-weekly magazine. The student and I were working well until the challenging became too uncomfortable for the student and they decided to cut and run. In the students attempts to remove our counseling sessions, the went home and their parents that I had suggested that dropping out of school was the best option and success wasn't in the future. Being a master of manipulation, the parents believe the untrue story and were very upset with me. They scheduled a meeting. It was myself, a principal, a guidance counselor, the parents, and the student. Tension ran thick in the room. Once talk of the students future, what I actually said, and the problems at home were brought up; everything spun out of control. Profanity was flying, people were jumping up out of their chairs, and threats of violence littered the room. It was a this time that everything seemed to slow down for me. It was just like pro athletes say when the game slows down for them and they feel in complete control. It was like I could see all of their pain and pin point exactly were it was coming from. In between out burst I interjected enough to make the next outburst less violent and explosive; until eventually we talking to each other in stead of screaming. Then they eventually stopped talking and started listening. Then they started crying; and the door was cracked enough for them to remember each other and what a family is supposed like, act, and feel like. I didn't heal them or cure the families ailments in a hour and a half, but I did my job. I lead a stubborn, obstinate, legless, EXTREMELY thirsty horse to water. It isn't my job to make him drink.
At my job I take a lot of flack from people who say I'm never there (In actually I'm all over the building everyday I'm scheduled to be), I never call the kids down when they want me to (I see my kids an average of once a week unless the is a legitimate crisis), I'm not available to enough kids (believe it or not, some kids grow up in a healthy home), and my favorite; I'm too nice to the kids and I try to be their friends. (Only idiots with no real grasp of counseling, human development or the human condition would say or believe this) Despite all my detractors, and distractions; I know I'm built for this. I know that no one on earth can do my job better than me, and I make a difference whether I see it immediately or not. So for those who want to critique my job and the specifics of what it actually is I do all day; know this, negativity doesn't exist for me. Only Positivity and Motivation lives in my mind. I ain't mad at you. Sometimes criticism is the only way a desperate person can attach themselves or feel a part of something special; but that's just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?

Buddha Cards

I have a stack of Buddhist meditation cards that I keep on my coffee table. I try to read them weekly and use that as a sort of theme for the week ahead of me. Sometimes I don't get around to reading it until Friday. Usually, I read them and keep pushing; but today's really rang true and I thought I'd share. What do you think?

"You are now in control of your life. You see, the ego is never in control. The ego is controlled by wishes for comfort and convenience on the part of the body, by demands of the mind, and by outbursts of the emotions. But the higher nature controls the body and the mind and the emotions. I can say to my body, "Lie down there on that cement floor and go to sleep," and it obeys. I can say to my mind, "Shut out everything else and concentrate on this job before you," and it's obedient. I can say to my emotions, "Be still, even in the face of this terrible situation," and they are still. It's a different way of living. The philosopher Thoreau wrote: If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps he hears a different drummer. And now you are following a different drummer--the higher nature instead of the lower." - Peace Pilgrim

I dig this one because it addresses a battle that I believe the average person loses daily. Controlling the ego isn't the goal. The goal is combining the ego with the other portions of who you are so that you aren't completely ego driven, or the opposite, completely devoid of passion. If this is ignored, misery has a gaping hole to creep into. But that's just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?

Things I'm Gonna Do Different #4

I was in a six year relationship that recently ended. I have decided that I am gonna do something different, if and when, I decide to get in another relationship. The reasoning is that if I do something different, then the outcome will be different. I made a list of 10.

#4. Back Scratching- We will take care of each other. For example, we will go to the doctor's with each other. I will put her first, but I will be sure not to neglect my own needs. I will do things that show I am interested in her needs, desires, and problems. I won't downplay or minimize any of her issues or concerns. I can't take her for granted because that is the beginning of the end.

It makes me a little ashamed to acknowledge that this was an issue with me, but it was. When you imagine that you have forever with a person, you begin to make a list of things you'll do or ways you'll treat her tomorrow. Never good. But that's just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?

The Good Wife's Guide

Back in the day there was a magazine entitled, Housekeeping Monthly. When I say back in the day, I mean baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack in the day. In their May 13th, 1955 issue they had a little list that they ran entitled, "The Good Wife's Guide".

I'm gonna post at least one of these things per week and I want you guys; especially the women, to tell me what you honestly think.

-Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favourite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.

I know that it is very chauvinistic and almost cave man thinking; but I believe some of these things are semi-relevant. I may only feel that way because I am a man, but this was perfectly fine and acceptable at one time. It was even published in a popular American magazine. This particular excerpt doesn't ring true with me, but some of the others do. Don't forget to tell me what you think. I believe some of these are up to 60% true and others are completely bogus; but that's just my opinion though and who the hell am I?

Tuesday, April 14, 2009

This the first time I'm gonna try and post from my cell phone. It seems really shaky but if you're reading this, it must have worked. Technology never ceases to amaze me; but that's just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?

The Huxtablization Process


Today is landmark day for me. It is now the official beginning of what I like to call, "The Huxtablization Process". Some people are sweating getting older, but I am not. The older I get, the closer I get to becoming my idol, Heathcliff Huxtable. For those of you that don't know, Heathcliff Huxtable is the character that Bill Cosby played on The Cosby Show. It is going to be a long process, but I will enjoy it. I am lacking in a few areas: I do not have a wife, (what's Cliff without Clair?) I am about 4 kids short, and I don't have a bunch of celebrity friends that stop by my house and help with life lessons and high jinx. In other areas, I'm right on point: I have several sweaters that are questionable in taste, I have a profession, and I have at least one kid that I can expect to learn from and teach life lessons. The reason today is such an important day is, I got my first set of greys. I promised that I would start the process once I got a few greys. I've got two grey hairs in my beard and one in my head. I'm pumped. So, if you see me in some suspect sweaters or talking in humorously whimsical anecdotes; understand, it is just the Huxtablization Process. Also, I will be holding open auditions for Clair Huxtable. Please send a resume and a picture of yourself in your best Clair Huxtable outfit to rsj304@aol.com. I figured that I'd take some of the weight off of President Obama and put another positive black male out there to set an example. Even if he is only fictional. But that's just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?

I've learned.... That the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.

This was sent to me in an e-mail. I thought it was pretty cool. My favorites are The one about the mountain, No one is perfect until you fall in love with them, The ignoring the facts one, and the one about being kind is more important than being right. Let me know which ones speak to you. It always interests me to know what clicks with other people. It makes them easier to understand. But that's just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?

Things I'm Gonna Do Different #5

I was in a six year relationship that recently ended. I have decided that I am gonna do something different, if and when, I decide to get in another relationship. The reasoning is that if I do something different, then the outcome will be different. I made a list of 10.

#5. Help- Look to each other for help. I won't let my problems or concerns get out of hand and push me into an opposite direction. I will lean on and rely on my woman, her loyalty, and her support; to get me through anything: sickness, health, poverty, wealth, repossessed cars, shut-off electric, baby mama drama, or whatever comes our way. I must remember that we are in this together.

This will be the hardest. It's proven to be in the past. But that's just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?

A Gift To All The White Women That Read




I can't forget y'all!!! I got love for my Milky Mamas too. No accounting for taste though. To each their own. But that's just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?

A Gift To All The Black Women That Read



I just wanted to shout you guys out, after the Serena, Deelishis, and Free posts. I feel like you guys really hold me down; but that's just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?
