Daily Bedpost - All About Sex with Em & Lo

ROUNDUP 02.08.2008 BY EM & LO

We loved that people were chomping at the bit (heh heh) to talk about the indie gorefest Teeth without having seen it. First, Sophie:

The reason I don't want to see it (beside the fact that I never ever ever watch horror movies) is that to me, the whole vagina dentata thing is kind of a fear of the female sexuality, isn't it? Of the female hunger for sex, which should be suppressed for fear of it taking over control and castrating men. So I was surprised to read that the movie is supposed to be a sort of female empowering flick, with a rape vengeance. That sounds like bullshit designed to hide the real deal behind it.

And then Anna said:

::Disclaimer:: I haven't seen it either. But I'm sort of feeling its female empowerment theme. Maybe the folklore of the vagina dentata rested in a fear of the female sexuality, but I think (or at least I hope) that Teeth sort of flips the legend around, showing the girl who has been taught only to fear and abstain from sex just how much control she has over her own body.

We're with Anna on this one.

On the topic of sexy hardware E announced somewhat defiantly:

It's easy to splurge on computers and sex toys when you have shitloads of money. :) We don't all live in this world of wonder. Love you guys.

Yes, you can certainly get PCs for less, though if you've got the money to spend on an affordable PC you could probably get a used Mac on eBay for the same price and chances are it'd still work better than the PC. As for sex toys, we encourage investing in your sex life within your financial comfort zone: If you usually spend 200 bucks on designer jeans, then skip the next pair and get a Form 6; if ordering in pizza once a month is your big splurge, skip that next time and get a Water Dancer from Blowfish.com for a mere 16 bucks instead. Love you, too!

This may include playing that montage of fond memories over and over in the theater of your mind with the Dolby surround-sound system playing Muse or Maroon 5 on repeat. No good can come of this; you'll simply end up feeling more inadequate, lonely, and depressed. Instead, focus on your ex's faults. There must be at least one (besides their ability to live without you), even if it's just a malformed pinkie toe or a tendency to douse every meal in ketchup. --From Buh Bye: The Ultimate Guide to Dumping and Getting Dumped What Men Need To Know You know you want it!
