Girls: Please, PLEASE, ignore Cosmo

edited March 2008 in General
PLEASE! Any advice that sack of shit gives you about men, specifically about things you can do to men to "spice up your sex life," should be TOTALLY DISREGARDED.

THAT IS ALL.

    I personally LOVE Cosmo.

    Biased opinions? I dunno. I think the most I read for magazines is the Coach collection book LOL, and Business Week at work.

    we will stop reading Cosmo, the womans bible when men stop reading all pornographic magazines and maxim fhm etc...

    guys dont like it when their secrets get out in cosmo, most guys think its over when theyre done in bed but cosmo tells us otherwise

    I've spent the last little while at lunch time flipping through random magazines that are sitting near my lunch table. I've becomes obsessed with the retardation that is Cosopolitan.

    This is a magazine that tells women there is something wrong with them, or with their partner, if they can not have an orgasm from intercourse. Bear in mind that >70% of women are physically incapably of vaginal orgasm. And this magazine tells them that either they or their partner is deficient in some way if they can't do it. Horrible. Reprehensible.

    But the worst is the stuff to do with how to "please your man." UGH. Horrific. Every second "tip" has to do with sticking something up his butt. Don't do that! No! I say thee, nay!

    I swear to Christ, there was something in there about sticking something up the urethera. NOOOOOO!!! I can't stress this enough: NO!

    NO!

    In sum: NO!

    Cosmo sucks. Don't listen to them. They're retards. Saying "show up and be enthusiastic" as sex advice for women doesn't sell magazines, so instead they throw guys under the bus, telling hordes of women to sally forth with their stabbing-fingers held high. NO!

    =D

    All I got out of that post was the percentage of women who can't have an orgasm....and how much that would friggin' suck.

    I read Cosmo once in a while for the embarrassing stories. That's all.

    Sticking something up the male urethra?? That would be deadly.

    Ok true story I read on the internet a while back.

    This guy decided to be romantic so he stuck some flower up he urethra. Now the problem came when he had to put it out, all the little tiny hairs on it ripped his urethra apart and doctors had to rebuild it for him.

    I literally laughed out loud at this phrase.

    Just to be clear, it's about 10% of women who can not have an orgasm, period, ever, for any reason. The 70% is the portion of women who can't orgasm vaginally - ie: with only vaginal stimulation. That 70% needs direct clitoral stimulation which, unless you arein Cirque de Solier, means either masturbation or oral sex. It's only about 30% of women who can have an orgasm via penetrative intercourse. What's interesting (and perplexing,) is that that 30% usually doesn't enjoy clitoral stimulation all that much. Chicks are wierd.

    Whatever you think, though, Cosmo sucks ass.

    a lot of guys are done way too soon and they leave the girls hanging

    cosmo = true story

    most guys have this when im done im done persona, they need to work harder and stop being so lazy
  • edited March 2008
    And some girls need to do more than just lay there and expect the guys to do everything.

    Unlike Maxim, Cosmop corrupts the mind. Maxim contains the truth. It's sheerly mind-boggling how many girls I've met who actually enjoy reading Maxim. As such, asking a guy (or even anybody) to stop reading Maxim is not the same thing as asking a girl to stop reading Cosmo.
  • edited March 2008
    i like reading guys copies of maxim, fhm etc cause theres some ads with cute guys, and some of the articles about girls are funny

    honestly some guys could try harder during sex instead of just 'stick it in' im not going to get into details but a lot of guys could do a lot more during the deed, not accusing anyone here of anything though :zip:
  • edited March 2008
    Don't expect guys to try hard unless they like you. If it's a one night stand or short-term or open relationship, you're less likely to get a lot of effort. Guys only try hard for girls they care about.

    [edit] - I just realized that this post could be read as being horribly insulting. =P I assure you, I didn't mean it that way, hahah.

    Yes apparently Cosmopolitan Magazine is always only about the sex

    I just pulled one of my exes maxims out of a box and Im going to give some choice quotes

    "How do i make my sperm taste better?"
    "Its something far worse a question that turns any right minded man or woman into a stammering, sweating, panicked mess: 'How many people have you slept with'"

    next comparing eating philly cheesestakes to having sex with girls 'fill'er'up" and "open up and say whoa"

    theres some interesting articles but some of it is kind of sad, cosmo is a mag where girls can exaggerate and be sexual without being called sluts or dirty

    im not just talking about guys ive been with...girls talk :teeth:


    i forgot also, im challenging that comment, if you look at the ratio of female orgasms to male orgasms, sure it may be harder for females but even the best of guys arent going to make sure she does everytime

    its all about the diet/lifestyle really

    pineapple/cranberry juice works pretty well too

    LOL, what, have you tried it?
  • edited March 2008
    LOL @ vonnie's comment!! i have to say you gotta give props to a guy who actually pays attention to that in consideration to a girl's needs.. =)

    i actually read this post last night while studying but my brain was all locked down that i couldn't think properly.. so here's my take.. i don't know if any girls do actually take cosmo stats/info for real.. i read the magazine for amusement or for something to talk about with my girls when we're out..

    nevertheless i think i have to correct morro about the magazine telling women that there's something wrong with them or their partner if they can't achieve an orgasm during intercourse.. no cosmo did not say that... even if they did beforehand... they went into details as to why this happens and what you can do during intercourse to relieve this in an issue from 07.. i believe it's the november issue? anyway.. not to say the cosmo stats are complete bogus.. but you really shouldn't buy into anything magazines say..

    on the other hand.. my friends loved their section on sex positions and their depictions of rubber dolls.. a couple of them actually tried them with their boyfriends and said they weren't as bad as they look with the dolls.. XD

    I read my girl's Cosmo on occasion....i dont really see anything wrong with it...it's kinda nice to get a lady's perspective once in a while..haha...i find Maxim gets a lil redundant when it comes to "tips" hahaa....

    I read both Maxim and GQ...but normally Maxim stays home....and GQ gets taken on transit...i feel it's more..."appropriate" lol ... so if you guys see on me on the skytrain...dont judge!! hahaha

    If your gf cooks and cleans, good, tell the guy to take a fucking hike. If she doesnt, fuck, that joker can have her. Lifes too short to cook your own meals and do your own laundry, thats what women are for!
