CBC just wasn’t trying hard enough this morning.
If their shoulder was really to the wheel, they could have jammed in a few more cliches about women (and men) and sex.
Women like talking (guys don’t). Women need intimacy before sex (guys don’t). Women are the ones who lose interest in sex over time (their own sexpert said it’s 50/50 — when it happens). Long-term relationships will probably fizzle unless you get all new-agey about the “person within”. Women like WALKS as foreplay (<-barf).
Oh, did I say “barf”? I meant “swoon”. (No, I meant barf).
All of these little dead horses were trotted out to be beaten on the CBC’s new summer show about divorce. I forget what it was called (“Unsatisfied” or “Uninteresting” or something).
It’s not that I mind these tropes being discussed. But as part of a spectrum of experience. Ready for the big reveal? Not all women are the same.
I know. It’s just so crazy, it might be true.
Same token? Not all men are the same.
Holy. Shit. Did I just blow your mind? I know right? Take a minute to wipe your brain bits off the wall.
I expect more from my national broadcaster. I expect at least a little both-sides-of-the-dead-horse dialogue. If I wanted to hear about how women need to feel intimacy before they have sex, I would go to the grocery store and buy a magazine from the gum rack.
Cuz y’know what? Some women just like sex. (BAH! OMG! BRAIN BITS!) Some women don’t even like foreplay. Some women (CBC interviewee: “*giggle* that doesn’t work for any women“) enjoy a random ass smacking (by their partner people, by their partner). Or a random nipple tweak.
Some women think that going for a walk is about as sexy as cleaning out the cat’s litter box. Some women even… I know, it’s so crazy… like to have sex not because they’re feeling “emotionally connected”, but because they have sex drives that make them horny. For sex. The kind of sex where if you say “making love” it’s a fucking deal breaker. (<-Get it? “Fucking deal breaker”? Take a minute to enjoy that one…)
And as I ranted about this to the good’ol’piece’of’meat husband as he left for work today, I teased that maybe we should *rawr* go for a walk.
Him: “I don’t want to get all aroused right before I go to work.”
I smacked his ass.
I loved this.
