Women's magazines like Cosmopolitan always seem to have articles describing some "hot, new" sex position (and let's first note the fact that these are inevitably variations from the Kama Sutra, with isn't exactly new), as though the ones we've already tried are "cold, old." You already know how I feel about sexual trendiness: fucking isn't fashion! One's sexuality, while open to change throughout one's lifetime, does not go through seasons like the pages of Women's Wear Daily.A friend recently said to me something like, "I know this is boring, but I really like having sex in the missionary position." She said it like it was a secret or shameful, like it wasn't OK to prefer having sex not hung upside-down from the ceiling. She shouldn't have to feel that way! A big part of Babeland's mission is taking the shame out of sex. This includes accepting what you like to do to get off, from "vanilla" to super-kinky (and it's all relative, anyway) without worrying about what anyone else thinks.Besides, I LOVE the missionary position. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it!� Let's stop the mish stigma. Maybe it would help if it had a different name. Any suggestions?
