Men and Penis Insecurity

Eager Beaver,

Geesh men are insecure about their penises. And it seems the bigger theirs are the more they want to talk about it. I have a friend who just had sex with a man with a very large penis and all he kept wanting her to talk about was how incredible his penis was. Kept asking her if she thought it was "fantastic," "huge." and "more than she could handle," etc. The sad part is that he WASN'T a good lover so she just had to keep "agreeing" with him even though she wanted to shout at him that the sex sucked!!! He even texted her the next day and asked if the sex was better than she ever imagined due to his large dick. Really. Not making this up. Men with large penises seem to think that's all they need to be a great lover. That a big dick is the answer to our orgasm prayers. Consequently, they're usually horrible lovers because they just pump away and in 12 seconds it's over. But they want you to tell them how fantastic their big dick felt in your puss. Men are stupefyingly self-centered when it comes to sex. It's like they don't understand it AT ALL! Has not one of them read that it takes the average woman 20 minutes to reach orgasm, not 20 seconds, and that most of us NEVER reach orgasm during intercourse? WTF? I'm so annoyed I don't even know what to say...what has been your experience when it comes to men and their penis size thus far?
-Less Than Hot Mama

Oh Hot Mama,

This literally made me laugh out loud, because there are so many things that are true in your rant. First of all, it's like we've discussed time and time again, it's just like HOT guys. When guys are hot they don't really try in terms of "courting" or "dating" girls, because they have their looks to fall back on. It's just like guys with really big dicks. They think that because they have the size going for them, that they don't have to work it. And we all know that DEFINITELY isn't the case. I haven't ever really encountered a man who wanted to talk about it so much. That would turn me off for sure, and kind of give me the creeps... Why do you we even have to talk about it at all? And if we are talking about it for some unknown reason, then I should be the one to bring it up and not him. As long as it is big enough, he doesn't have to be the longest or beefy-est hotdog at the fair. It's all about how they work it. You need to tell your friend to ditch the creep ASAP. She deserves way better than a guy who wants applause for his man parts!

"The Social Network;" Power of the Pussy

Eager Beaver,

Your pussy is powerful. And I mean WAY powerful. Pussy's have brought down churches, businesses, kingdoms and governments for centuries. It's truly shocking when you think about it. Just in the last five years alone we can all quickly think of presidents, politicians, ministers, businessmen, movie stars, musicians, etc who have forsaken their lives and, in most cases, wives, for a pussy. A man's desire for a certain pussy has crumbled careers that men spent decades building. I just watched, "The Social Network," last night and my take away from it was, again, that the pussy is amazingly powerful. Mark Zuckerberg supposedly created Facemash, the website that he initially started one drunken night at Harvard to compare all the girls on campus to farm animals, because he was hurt that a girlfriend had broken up with him. While creating this website to humiliate all girls he drunkenly blogged about how the now ex-girlfriend had hurt him, how her boobs didn't measure up etc. Immediately after Facemash crashed Harvard's server, Mark is approached by a group of three guys to start a social website called Harvard Connect because "all girls want to date guys from Harvard."


Of course, the rest is history, he cribbed the idea and created Facebook which in seven short years is worth 50 BILLION dollars! All because of pussy! There's some question as to whether or not there ever was an Erica, the girlfriend, but something happened that caused Mark to create Facemash in the first place and it sounds to me like an insecure man being spurned is probably a a good guess. We women get down on ourselves but really men are motivated by one thing in this life and that is: getting into a woman's pussy. We need to all remember that, not give it away like free candy on Halloween and wait for the guy that values our pussy at about...50 billion dollars!
-Hot Mama

Hot Mama,

It is SO weird how the world works. I JUST watched this movie this evening with my Mom. We were both completely engrossed in the movie and absolutely loved it. It made me wonder if Mark is such a complete freaking asshole in person, like he is in the movie. My Mom watched an interview with him on Oprah, and I know that there has been a lot of controversy over it, because Mark says that the movie doesn't accurately portray him. He started the Facebook over a girl, he lost his best friend in the entire world, and he didn't even really care about the money! It's just so mind boggling. I wish that he would write a book so I could see into his mind and understand just exactly how it works. And after all of that, I wonder if he is happy now. Now all I have to do... invent the NEXT Facebook...

Does Penis Size REALLY Matter?

Eager Beaver,

All my life women have tried to reassure men that size doesn't matter. That it's the "motion of the ocean" that rocks our world. And to some extent this is true. BUT the more true thing is that size DOES matter and, more specifically, girth is what matters because it provides us girls with more friction for our button. Long and skinny doesn't cut it. Long and large is just downright painful. There's just this sort of "right" size for most women that works. Longish and girthy but not too girthy because that can lead to "rug burn." Penis size, while important for achieving possible orgasm during intercourse, is actually not the most important thing. The most important element in love making is a man's skill because most women, much as we would LOVE to, do not come through sexual intercourse alone. Our buttons are a little too far away from the action and a little too small to be hit in the right spot for maximum friction during intercourse. So, having a man who is skilled in the way a woman's body works is AMAZING. And I mean really skilled as in "I didn't even know my body could do that!" skilled.

I had the good fortune to have sex with someone whom I'd been friends with for four years but never imagined hooking up with (for a variety of reasons). We discussed whether or not we should take the friendship to the next level because we worried that we would ruin what we had. After some sexting, it just became too much and we went there. In my mind, it would be an OTO thing because, frankly, I thought it would suck and that would be the end of that. Boy was I wrong. Holy Cow. My friend turned out to be the most amazing, skilled lover I ever had in my entire life and I learned some things about my body I never knew before. Like what? Well, that whole debate on whether or not women can gush fluid while orgasming? I found out for the first time in my life this is absolutely true! Unbelievable. It actually makes me sad though because I went through my adult life not knowing I was capable of this. I have been sexually conservative, in terms of partners not emotions, most of my life. Didn't have sex until I was 22, met my husband-to-be at 25, got married at 28, divorced at 41 and have kept men out of my children's lives for all the obvious reasons. So, to experience this now blows my mind, and other body parts, in so many ways. And in terms of the friendship with the guy; I think we may have screwed the pooch. Which sucks. Sex on top of friendship just doesn't work. I am grateful to him for showing me how amazing my body is BUT also fearful that I won't find someone that skilled EVER again. Based on your own short experience Eager Beaver, what do you think about the possibilities for me? Should I just move into the home now?
-Sad But Exhilarated Hot Mama

Oh Hot Mama,

I don't even know WHERE to begin on this one. I think that you are absolutely right, penis size does play a part in the quality of sex, but it is definitely not everything. People are so obsessed with men who have a big dick, but really, what's the use if they don't know what to do with it?? It's like guys who are extremely hot and feel like they don't have to do or give anything in a relationship... so NOT cool. I've been lucky enough to have the same AMAZING, mind-blowing, didn't know it was possible, kind of sex like you've had. And just like you, it didn't end well. And once it's gone, you wonder if you will ever get that again. From my experience so far, I haven't been fortunate enough to find it again. Here's to hoping for both of us, that someone is going to come along and restore our faith!

Mancations: Good or Bad for Your Relationship?

Eager Beaver,

I just came back from a week in Vail with the girls, and while all of us were single, all the guys we encountered were married! There were lots of groups of 5-7 married guys on mancations. Every single one that I observed was looking to get laid. And that's not just my opinion, it's my girlfriends' opinion as well. I went two years ago and it was the same story. And the occasional single guy was just a dog you wouldn't want anyway. Even the most benign looking man seemed to be influenced by the pack mentality. It freaked all of us out. What do their wives think they're doing in Vail? Skiing? Well, yes probably but also probably with women they'd met in the bar the night before. We met one group of guys who had every intention of going skiing when they arrived in town four days ago but never did because they were way too hung over the next day, every day, to make it out of the condo! In another group, we witnessed the men's wedding rings disappearing as the week wore on! Meaning, when we met them, they had them on but by the end of the week they had taken them off. One of them claimed it was because the ring might hurt his finger should he take a bad fall. OMG. Seriously?! Another group decided to plan a mancation houseboating without their wives and tell them they were going fishing. All the while recalling the last time they had done that, 10-15 years ago, they had naked chicks running around the houseboat the whole weekend. Ladies, as much as we know our guys need some guy time, anytime they're going with a group of buddies to somewhere other than an actual forest with tents and guns on their backs, it's a sign they're looking for trouble. As in, trouble for you because they are looking to get laid. You can deny, deny, deny all you want that YOUR husband never would and maybe he wouldn't intentionally but once they are in a town with hotels and other women trouble will come a-knockin'. I don't care if they say they're going golfing, fishing, biking, hiking, wind-surfing, skiing, water skiing, etc. if where they're going there are going to be women and bars (from the biggest to the tiniest town) there is going to be trouble. Not every man will get laid for sure and maybe none of them will on any given trip but what freaked us out was that ALL of them wanted to and it's just a matter of time (years), and the odds, that eventually all of them will.
-Hot Mama

Hot Mama,

This makes me so freaking DEPRESSED. I thought that this was something that I could expect from guys who are my age, not men in their 30s, 40s, and upwards from there. I thought that the whole "mancation" thinking was just for guys my age who were going to Cabo on springbreak and messing around before coming back to their girlfriends. Thinking that men who are married and in committed relationships are still looking to do the same thing is completely sickening. It makes me wonder if I ever even WANT to get married. On the same token... maybe men are getting away with this because their wives are turning a blind eye. A lot of my friends have taken back boyfriends who have strayed (on vacations or just in the same town!) Maybe if we stopped tolerating this behavior, it wouldn't be so commonplace. I want to be with someone who I can trust to take a trip with his buddies and still know that he is being faithful to me. And I would expect the same thing from my partner... that I could go on a trip with the girls and he wouldn't be worried about me meeting and hooking up with someone else the whole time. It just makes me wonder, if we can't trust our boyfriends or our husbands, then WHO can we trust?!?

Up In The Air...

Hot Mama,

I am sitting in the airport after a long and grueling week of travelling, and I am BEYOND excited to finally be heading home and the idea of having a good nights sleep in my own bed. Not to mention not having to live out of a suitcase... I'm sitting in a bar "working" and looking around at all of my fellow travelers. The bar is FULL, like 100% (excluding me) of SWM. Not that I am surprised that the majority of people traveling are Single White Males, but still, it makes me wonder, who is on the other end of these men? I imagine that the majority of them are married, although I can't see if everyone is wearing a ring. And I wonder how their wives feel about managing everything on the homefront.

Not that women don't most of the time (even when men are present), I am just thinking it must be 100x harder with the husband not physically there. I think about my roommate and how sad she is that I am gone all of the time, and I wonder how it would be if I had a husband. Currently, I have a great job and make good money and do a lot of traveling, so would that make me the breadwinner? Would I have a house-husband? Would my husband be alone watching the kids? Would we take turns? It's interesting because one of my co-workers travels almost as much as I do. She has a full-time nanny during the day for her two year old daughter, but when she is gone for overnights, her husband is totally Mr. Mom. She will be gone for three, four, five days at a time, and he covers it on the home-front. I think it is such a great new-age way of thinking. They both have great jobs and at the same time, they both totally have each other's backs and are in a true partnership. If I ever get married ad have a family, I want you to be Auntie Hot Mama, and stay and take care of my kids when I am gone for work, k?
-Eager Beaver

Eager Beaver,

Ha ha! Me stay home and take care of kids at this stage of life, good one. No, I am just about done raising my two beautiful children and looking forward to the freedom that it is going to afford me very soon. I am worn out. I have given everything I have as a single Mom to raising them to be wonderful people and soon it will be your turn to try your hand at this challenging and most rewarding life task! And of course your own mom and Auntie Hot Mama will be there to give you an assist from time to time but I know you'll do a great job! And I hope you're lucky enough to find a husband who seems to be as great as your coworkers. Negotiating the "who stays home while the other works/travels?" is probably the trickiest minefield of any marriage. It is fraught with compromise for both people AND the kids! It is still a new-age way of thinking because men's ego still prefer that they are the major breadwinner in the family, not necessarily sole, but definitely main. So, if you think you will be the majority breadwinner you're gonna need some kind of secure guy to take a financial backseat to you. And if you feel comfortable traveling and leaving him home to attend the play dates/groups without you, then go for it.

I think unfortunately any marriage where one or both parties travel leaves your marriage door that much more ajar for someone else to come in. Between staying in hotels, attending conferences and after-conference dinners or parties, the traveling man/woman has many many more opportunities to stray. And initially a newly married man/woman probably(?) wouldn't stray but put on a few years, a few kids and a few pounds and that new hire at the office that has to travel too suddenly looks overwhelmingly attractive. They have the lightness of not being bogged down with work, a home, children, aging parents and an unhappy spouse. Or they're in the same boat. How wonderful it is to have someone who understands all of your problems over drinks in the hotel bar and intoxicating to feel listened to. It's a cocktail designed to put the strength of even the best marriage...up in the air.
