Sex on a Stick

I love how dorky I look in this picture

I went to a wedding last summer. It was to celebrate the wedding of an old college friend of my husband's. One of the people that attended the wedding was a bartender from a local Irish pub that we all frequented...his name is Barry. Barry wasn't the best looking man I had ever seen. But there was something about him. The Irish accent? Perhaps....Was it the lascivious look he gave the maid of honor when she came strolling down the aisle? Perhaps..... But there was something about Barry that made the women at the reception go wild...including me. I didn't do anything inappropriate. I just wanted a dance with Barry...and so did most of the women who attended the wedding. Barry oooozed raw sexuality.

The following Monday at work, still flustered and a bit confused about my need to dance with Barry at the wedding, I told my friend Alicia the story.

"Oh, he was Sex on a Stick"
"what?"
"Sex on a Stick"

Sex on a Stick is a guy who eminates raw sexuality. Like Barry, he doesn't have to be the best looking man in the room, they just have a certain vibe, level of masculinity, sexuality....just something that makes them....Sex on a Stick. Someone who will give you the night of your life and swiftly be done with you and you are ok with that. Sex on a Stick doesn't buy flowers, or spoon or take the kids to the bus...and that is ok with me.

Who is Sex on a Stick.... well that could differ. But here are my examples

Tom Brady? NO-although I lust after him, he's too pretty

Trace Atkins? Yes, deep voice, tall...something very sexy
Brad Pitt? Again, no, no not sex on a stick

The guy from lipstick jungle, Brook Shield's husband...definitely sex on a stick

Javier Bardem? Oh yeah....SOS baby!!!

See where I am going with this?

Do you agree?

Ever have an SOS experience?

The New Evil Empire?

NOOOOOOO.

My Boston Red Sox are now being touted as The New Evil Empire or Evil Empire Jr....say it isn't so.

As a long time Red Sox fan, I am used to heartbreak, suffering, choking and disappointment. We were in a 3-1 deficit against the Indians and I thought "ah yes, this is what I am used to, they suck me in every year."

Then we came back. I was euphoric for just a day or so....and now the World Series against a Cinderella team called the Rockies.

Nice bunch of fellas with incredible talent. Colorado has won 21 of 22 and has not lost in seven playoff games.

They are the David and we are Goliath.

I am not comfortable with this.

What happened to the slobs we grew to love back in '04. The long hair, unshaven faces..underdogs....

And The New Evil Empire...high salaries, a young slick pitcher named Beckett, a wonderboy named Pedroia...

This on the heels of the Patriots spygate....

I thought we were a small, white trash kinda town, our accents...our green monstah, our dirty watah, dunkin donuts, bad driving....

I am just not comfortable with this new image

HBO Tell Me You Love Me

So after the mourning period after Rome was cancelled, Sex and the City went off the air and The Sopranos wrapped up....I have been searching for a reason to keep HBO. After an ill fated attempt to get into John from Cincinnati (which I liked but.....never quite understood), I found a new show, Tell Me You Love Me .

Holy Smokes

3 different couples dealing with one kind of sexual identity crisis or another, all going to a sex therapist (well it looks like that is the direction this show is going in). The 60 something therapist has quite the sex life herself as well. Not a comedy, not a reality show...a drama.

OK, can we talk?

Can we say full frontal MALE nudity? All couples are in committed relationships which makes it seem less dirty. And it truly wasn't dirty at all. It was more about intimacy...but

Wow

It was kind of like porn for women.

In the course of 55 minutes

I saw the following:
2 full frontal men (one of the guys showed it twice)
2 full frontal women
a rather large set of .....(cough cough) balls
a 60 year old giving her husband....well you know
a 30 something giving her husband another kind of job plus the "output of the job"
6 sex scenes which made the show average, a sex scene every 9 minutes.

I actually blushed... and I am not a prude....

Very intriguing.

You can watch it "On Demand," they actually have not officially aired the show. The premier is Sept 9th.

Will I watch it next weekend you ask?

And you can bet your balls I will
