Things that make your eyebrows rise...

So I am reading a reference book that deals with how Generation X has changed the face of marriage for their generation. It is very interesting. There are lots of little blurbs that make your eyebrows rise and the imagination wander. Interesting tidbit - orgasm makes a woman's breasts larger so just before going out to someplace fun, you should have an orgasm and that will make the push up all that much more enhancing. Who knew? So far it is discussing how the Gen X woman is more confident about who she is and therefore, marriage is no longer the image of a subservient woman who puts her husband and family first and has dinner on the table and thinks of England during sex. The Gen X woman wants to be in control and show her man how to please her and believes in equality in the housework and fantastic sex in the bedroom. She prioritizes sex to be important and a fundamental part of a relationship. If she doesn't have good sex with a man, the likelihood of them getting married is slim.

Of course, the book works on generalizations and goodness knows, Gen X is just as insecure as the next generation, I just think in a different way. They tend to be scared to end up like the women of the past and so they fight hard to get a career and themselves established before settling down. But the insecurities are there – wanting to keep young, be on top of the game, be loved.

Also interesting was the top 3 sexual positions –(1) woman on top, (2) doggie and (3) missionary. Missionary is still in the top 3 positions despite being commonly thought of as a traditionally male dominant position. And the reasoning ran from it allows the clitoris to be stimulated more easily to the woman wanting to just relax and enjoy it without all the work. With the busy lives Gen X leads and goodness knows, it seems to just get busier, women are under as much stress as men and sometimes, you just want to give up the control. Most of the time, women like to lead, but occasionally, they want someone else to make the decisions, to follow through, to be there.

Anyway, I am only a third into the book and it is very interesting thus far. Hopefully, it will only get better. And I will share more tips. Heehee.

Oops, forgot to turn on the dryer. That will make the 4 loads of laundry go faster if I remember that step. Of course, what happened was the phone rang because it is Thursday, which means I am usually home doing chores so everyone calls. Didn’t hear that the dryer wasn’t going, until the washer stopped and I realized it was too quiet too soon. Oh well. Sighhh. Only 3 more loads to go.
