Got sex?

The Georgia StraightI was really surprised to see this cover from The Georgia Strait, a Vancouver weekly newspaper. It’s a paper that targets the young adult market.

The lead story, (at the upper right of the couple) appears to be somewhat sensationalist, with headlines screaming out to potential readers: “Got Sex?”

But, if you read on, the sub-head states:

“For a growing number of young adults, swinging (and we’re not talking about going to the park here.) and spankings appear to trump monogamy and the missionary position.”

I am always quite cynical about newspaper articles announcing new trends with little hard evidence (no pun intended). But there does seem to be an up-swing in recreational spanking among people seeking more exciting, less mainstream ways of expressing their sexuality. This is especially true in the 20-30 age group. While there is a segment of older people seeking new ways to add excitement to their sex lives, there’s still a large proportion of vanilla couples. Maybe they’ll catch on soon!

If you’ve noticed how many blogs are available that talk about our changing sexuality — including mine! It’s because keeping our sex lives interesting and exciting is an important way to keep our relationships interesting and exciting.

Have you got a hankering for a spanking or to be tied up and forced to do all sorts of kinky things? Tell your wife, husband or lover! If you don’t want to do that, you can tell us right here right now.

Oh come on, bare it all.

    “I am always quite cynical about newspaper articles announcing new trends with little hard evidence”

    I’m constantly quoted in the papers due to my field and I refuse to give reporters a quote on “trends” that are not real. I’ve become quite nasty about it.

    aah…stutter…stutter…stutter…well, ok…what the heck!

    Forget about belts, cuffs and all the paraphernalia…assuming the basic emotional ingredients are there, a great physical presentation (on both parts) is all the visual stimulation you will ever need (was that too clumsy).

    Love your blog. This article was good because, yeah, every once in a while it is good to role play or ad a bit of something different to your love life. Spanking can be exciting if done right and both partners are into it. Long term relationships can get stuck in a rut if you don’t add that element of fantasy into the bedroom. It’s a good thing!

    well im kind’a disagree to “etomyam”
    sex is not for fun it is a matter of serious thing in life, it is as serious as how we get serious on our works and studies
    having sex is having responsibilities too
    well im just 18 so its too much way to go beyond that thing

    ***From FeelingFlirty - For many people sex is a lot of fun. It feels really good and in a good relationship brings you and your partner incredibly close. Sex has never been serious for me but it’s always been an important part of my relationship. You *are* only 18 and perhaps your opinions will change over time.

    I think spanking, and BDSM is becoming incredibly popular.. it’s already popular…

    wonder where my comment on this post was

    **From FeelingFlirty — sorry, my fault.. I’m busy packing up for a move to New Zealand this weekend and my computer was packed and I couldn’t find the plugger inner to power up the laptop - I’d covered it up with other stuff to be packed. All sorted now and I apologize for the delay.

    sex is love…love is sex…

    ***From FeelingFlirty — Hi East Dust, I agree with you in part. I think a man feels loved when he has sex and a woman feels loved through foreplay.

  12. jessie on December 17th, 2007

    i agree to East Dust for saying sex is love and love is sex… perhaps sex is the most profound way a man and woman can share their deepest feelings for each other

    This is the first time I’ve heard about this. Must not be a trend than. Either that or I’m just out of the loop on these things. It’s probably the latter, lol.

    Chrissie Amphlet says there is a fine line between pleasure and pain. I say she needs to see a therapist. Pain is no turn on.
