Apologies, but I have to vent with my first post on this forum. I have just read Lisa Jones' and Lori Buckley's columns in the latest issue of BestLife.
Is anybody else tired of this type of women-centric, emasculating type sex advice besides myself? Sex advice in all men's magazines seems to take the above form, and this advice is always rendered by women. These columns throughout the men's magazine publishing industry tend to be women-centric due to political correctness, or I should say "political cowardice." What really needs to be written are successful case studies by successful womanizers who are in the style of Porfirio Rubirosa and Ali Khan. You guys are being brainwashed into becoming eunuchs.

Haven't read the columns yet (where is my latest issue, anyway?). What advice was it that you so objected to?

Just read the reviews of "The Last Playboy", a biography of Porfirio Rubirosa, which sounds well worth reading. Apparently the guy was married 5 times and still dated Ava Gardner and others. Never had a job, played a mean game of polo and died when he wrapped his Ferrari around a tree at age 56. He romanced many, many women, I'm sure that he could teach us all a few tricks.
Not sure what advice you are referring to, but your poipnt seems well put: why do the magazines publish advice about dating women that is written by women only? Because we are supposed to play by their "rules", give them what they want and hope to get a piece? Or is the advice from a successful playboy more valuable? Hmmmmmmmm.... |

I think that the advice of women about women is right on. What better way of knowing how to deal with a woman is by getting advice from a woman.
Personally, while advice from a successful playboy may have been great when I was young and single, is useless to me as I am married. WE can all use advice on how to deal with them. They do think differently than we do. We are the people our parents warned us about. |

I don't know what M@8 is talking about, but I'm sure going to check out the new issue.
I take most of what I read in any magazine with a grain of salt. It's entertainment, and it may be right on, but it may also be total crap. It's left as a exercise for the reader to figure out which is which. -- "No job is beneath a man's dignity as long as it is honest and supports his family" - my grandfather http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/bestlife |

I think the point he's making is this: there are lots of things that men can think, do and say that will be romantic to a woman. Men and women think differently. Women can't tell you how to think, do and say like a man, only a man can. Sure, women can tell you what feels good, but that's like an art critic telling you what looks good on canvas.
A real artist finds his inspiration from within. A man can think, do and say so much that a woman could never think of. Just like women can come up with so many things that we would never think of. Do you really learn anything if someone just gives you the answers to the test? No. The only way you really learn is to research the subject from the outside, form your own thoughts and feelings. And go forth and multiply. |

I just got the latest issue, and so I just had to check out the sex column. Boring. Food is sexy. Wow. Who here didn't know that smearing chocolate syrup on your SO then licking it off is fun? All-in-all not a very good column. I haven't checked back issues to see if they are of the same high quality. -- "No job is beneath a man's dignity as long as it is honest and supports his family" - my grandfather http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/bestlife |

I'll have to check... lately, I have a stack of magazines, such as BEST LIFE, still in shrink-wrap from several months back. |

Yeah, I used to get magazines in wrappers too. I swear it was for the articles. -- "No job is beneath a man's dignity as long as it is honest and supports his family" - my grandfather http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/bestlife |

I've been reading some other mags and websites, and I have to tell you that even though the advise in BestLife sometimes is lame, at least it's not as vapid as AskMen.com or some of the others. I mean, there's more to life than chasing tail. I've been happy finding a wife and raising a family. Sex is great, but the club scene is a bore and most mags are stuck in the 1975 disco-free-love era. -- "No job is beneath a man's dignity as long as it is honest and supports his family" - my grandfather http://ma.gnolia.com/groups/bestlife |

Buy them flowers, give them money, they give us sex. What more advice do you need.

This was worth a good giggle. Do you guys really buy all the stuff that is written? It doesn't seem to matter if it is m/f, there is very little that I find relevant. There was one column in a mag that my former and I used to read just for the laughs. You couldn't have written anything funnier if you tried.

Wha? I mean, if it's in print, it has to be true, right? Right? No? Damn, I knew those penthouse letters were too good to be true.

Hey, I sent my fair share of letters to Penthouse and they were all true. You may have read some of mine. One of them started.."I never thught these letters were true until the night I got stuck in an elevator with the hot blond divorcee....."
