'Joy of Sex,' revised from top to bottom

[clay]

If statistics are telling us that the porn business is "limp" in this economy, I wonder how the sales of this new release will do...

I thought this was funny .... "According to "Joy's" introduction, this version was written to benefit the "ordinary, sexually active reader."

Ordinary? What, in the "Joy of Sex" world, does that mean, anyway? "

"For one, the Hairy Man is gone. He has been replaced by a guy who looks like a Best Life cover model, and his new partner is a curvy, comely redhead."

I'm a curvy redhead! Not exactly the curves that the author had in mind for the models, but curvy non-the-less. :rofl:

Hairy man

"For one, the Hairy Man is gone.

Actually I was watching a 60 Minutes type of news program just a week or so ago that said that the shaved/waxed chest look for a man is on the way out and the new "in" look is a moderate hairy chest (not like that circulated email picture of that hairy Neanderthal man with his favorite Nascar number shaved on his back..ha ha). Soooo, now I am back to being a manly man based on that!!!!

No hair is nice, it's ok, when a guy oils it up it's just...ewwww!! My personal preference is a guy with some hair-not beastly. He has to have ABSOLUTELY NO HAIR on his back and I don't like a jungle creeping up from his pant waist either-front or back!! Shoulder hair is also a big no no!!
I have to say I've never read The Joy of... either. Although I have to admit I found a copy in my parents room growing up when I was quite young and had NO IDEA what I was looking at. I think I was like 5 or 6.... lol

So funny, as a rural farm girl in 1972 (who went to a very strict Catholic HS)I went to college in Valparaiso, In. I've always loved to read, so nearly my first stop on campus was the bookstore where I found a copy of the Joy of Sex, my goodness,the nuns wouldn't have approved! Then the nex title on the shelf was The joy of Lesbian sex, a concept that had not even occured to me. I did not know what Leeee-seebian was! Couldn't even pronounce it! Needless to say Freshman year was quite an eyeopener!

As to the hairy situation, my kids keep telling me that the hairless thing is all the rage. All I can say is yuck, the hairs there for a reason! Beards, mustache, chest hair and down there! It's all good!

Guess the hairy ones are becoming dinosaurs. I'm screwed with the waist length hair, beard , mustache, hairy chest etc............. Oh well, wasn't planning to change anything anyway.

thank goodness. It scares me that some men spend more time on their grooming than the average woman.

And I LOVE hairy men - the hairier the better. Helps keep me warm at night!

Sorry bloomzie, I know it's "TMI" :>
