Dear Cosmo: Your Sex Advice Sucks

Cosmopolitan Magazine
Cosmopolitan

We’re all guilty of it, scanning the magazine stand while in line at the grocery checkout lane, when those alluring photos and attention-grabbing headlines do exactly what they’re intended to do.

We reach out and grab the latest issue of Cosmopolitan, Men’s Health, Maxim, or other gender-oriented magazine to start to find out what we’re doing wrong with our love life.

So, guilty as charged, we read the magazine and throw it back on the shelf before we get to the cashier – after finding out that we were, indeed, doing everything wrong.

Or were we?  Maybe we weren’t wrong with our lovemaking skills — has anybody ever considered that maybe the magazine writers were the incorrect ones?

That’s the philosphy behind the monthly column RIDICULOUS TIPS FOR A MISERABLE SEX LIFE, where those same crazy Sex Tips are analyzed to see if they truly are what we should be paying attention to.

One example from earlier this year that needed to be pointed out was a suggestion from Cosmo writers to have sex in the shower using a silicon-based lubricant.  As professional sex educators will tell you — sex in the shower is not as good or practical an idea as it sounds.
