Real sex
To the Editors:
This is a response to the lack of quality discourse and advice about sex and relationships in the forgery that is Sex and the Bubble. It offers up nothing but unoriginality and is an unsuccessful mimicry of Carrie Bradshaw's column on HBO's hit show, Sex and the City. It falls significantly short of Bradshaw's wit, brilliance, and experience. It addresses the topic with the high level of immaturity that too often plagues college life. For once, let's get beyond the verbal diarrhea and talk about what really makes for good sex or why the majority of relationships fall apart.
Many of us waste a great deal of time being involved in unhealthy relationships and would be much happier in the long run if we re-channeled our energy into improving ourselves as well-rounded individuals. It is only then that we become capable of having a healthy and fulfilling relationship.
And let's be honest here: we would all be having much better sex if we focused on achieving and exploring the realm of mutual pleasure and becoming more comfortable with our bodies. Out of a genuine curiosity and desire to better ourselves, our lives, and our sex lives, we should start speaking about sex more frequently-both on intimate and social levels.
If you're going to spend your time having sex, at least do yourself and your partner a favor and have good sex. Forget good sex, have great sex. Sometimes, the difference between bad sex and good sex, or good sex and great sex, is merely a few moments of experimentation or communication between two intimately engaged individuals about what pleases them. If your partner cannot tell you what pleases him or her, then they should take time with you or alone to figure out what does. And yes...the touch of your hand is a fantastic way to start. Ultimately, knowing what pleases you is the first step to developing a great sex life. We all deserve an orgasm now and again, and often, there's not a whole lot preventing us from having one.
Sincerely
Jasmine Cronin '04
