Okay, so I was reading a Cosmopolitan magazine today. There was an article called something along the lines of 100 Sex Questions Answered or something. I'm not really that conservative of a person, and I'm not all about abstinence or anything...I'm just a firm believer that sex should be for love. That's not to say my boyfriend and I can't have some kinky sex--it's okay with me because we love each other and it's something that is shared just between the two of us.
So why did I find Cosmo so offensive? I couldn't even bear to read it. It made me uncomfortable and nearly disgusted. Maybe it's because I feel like sex is private? Maybe because I don't want advice from a magazine? I mean, I kind of found their advice a little belittling. It made me feel like I'm not good enough...like maybe my sex isn't satisfying enough for my boyfriend (although he seems more than pleased...) Or maybe I thought the whole article was demeaning to sex as something private and special and intimate. I can't put my finger on it, but it really bothered me.
Does anyone have any ideas...? I feel like such an immature baby who can't even handle reading Cosmo.

i applaud you! I hate the fact that media doesn't respect the boundry between interesting and "private". They could easily publish a hot magazine, and let the rest reside online for those who want to read more

cosmopolitan is a disgrace, i am not a prude by any stretch of the imagination but all cosmo magazine is is 'how to please you man tonight' 'how to do whatever in the bedroom' its terrible and trashy and very very repetative!
