We'll admit it: we were skeptical about sex advice coming from a site with the name "Just a Guy Thing: Everything a Guy Needs to Be Manly." Would this be just another juvenile list for guys about quantity over quality, about how to cheat and not get caught, about how to get your girlfriend to have a threeway?

Well, hallelujah, this is some of the best damn advice we've ever heard coming from someone with a twig and two berries. In fact, we could have written some of these tips ourselves (we have been described as "ballsy" before). The pictures accompanying each "thing" are funny yet restrained (no gratuitous T&A), and there are only two mentions in the entire 1,700 word essay to the "hot friend" of the girlfriend. Read Christian's full article here. Then, after the jump, you can check out our quick tip-by-tip critique of his advice: what's spot on and what could've been better...

Bolded quotes are from "10 Things Your Dad Never Told You About Sex" on JustaGuyThing.com:

10. "People have sex fetishes"

Eh, the bug fetish is a little far-fetched for a general audience. It would have been better to focus on more common kinky stuff, for example enjoying BDSM (being tied up, spanked, dressed like a gimp, etc.) or having your toes sucked, which, if you've never been exposed to before, can be strange.

9. "It's not like a porno movie."

We were once on a panel about sex with the ex-editor-in-chief of British GQ and he talked about what a disservice the airbrushed lad mags do for boys' expectations of real life girls. We fell in love immediately, as we did with Christian after reading his point no. 9 on porn.

8. "Pace yourself."

Hmmm, this is a tricky one. As was recently reported, ideals of pumping time are greatly exaggerated. So he should have been clearer about what "going the distance" means--it should mean making sure your female partner has an orgasm, ideally first. As long as that happens, however long the guy takes to climax himself is not really an issue.

7. "Headaches are no excuse not to have sex."

He sort of missed the point here. The "headaches" women use as an excuse aren't real, they just don't want to have sex with you right now and are trying to be nice about it, albeit in a totally cliché way. Figure out a way to make her want to have sex right now. But understand that putting holes in her argument is not going to make her hot.

6. "Threesomes are not as common as you think."

Thank you for admitting the threeway that hetero women want to have usually involves another guy, not her hot best friend.

5. "Impotence is grounds for divorce."

Yeah, this is one of those rare instances of reverse sexism. But women have been orgasmless in marriage for centuries. We're not really gonna cry you guys a river over this one.

4. "Most women need clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm."

Amen, brother!

3. "Your penis can explode."

It's good to point out your penis is not invincible: we heard one tale about a friend of a friend who was jackhammering so hard he missed his entry, bent his penis in half and starting shooting blood all over the bedroom. (Let that be a lesson to the jackhammerers of the world.) But we think it would have been even better if Christian had addressed STDs here, which are much more common than exploding penises.

2. "Only 1 in 400 men can give themselves oral sex."

Funny.

1. "Men have a G-spot too."

Aw, we love it when straight guys embrace the eroticism of their bottoms.

We hate to break it to you schmucks (and we mean schmuck in the most loving, Yiddish-for-penis way): Size matters. There, we said it. But in the immortal words of Einstein (and no doubt he was talking about skin flutes), it's all relative. What's a perfectly shaped cuke to one person is a disappointing pig-in-a-blanket to another and an overwhelming meat loaf to yet another.
