Award: You’re a Good Read!

A big thanks to Amy for listing Heartbreak Nymphomania as one of the blogs she thinks is a good read!

I received this nomination ages ago and am only getting around to passing on the love now - my apologies. But better late than never, no?

The rules are to list a "top ten things" and then nominate a few bloggers as "good reads" of my own. Needless to say, I'll be pulling from/highlighting people who are mostly already in my blogroll, but whatever. I've also withdrawn from the general sexblogworld quite a bit the past few months - you know, life gets in the way and all - so maybe this will give me a kick-start into getting back into doing my blogrounds and commenting on people's stuff

I'm gonna copy Amy and do a list of Top Ten Turn Ons. In no particular order...

1. Old-school chivalry
   Like opening doors for me, offering to go and fetch my drink for me, etc. If done right, I'm a sucker for this sort of thing...
2. Massages
   Footrubs, backrubs, you name it... I kinda like giving them; I love receiving them
3. Genuine, unassuming, unpretentious compliments
4. Cuddling
5. Teasing/banter
   Omg. This should almost be a fetish for me. I love mock-insulting or heckling people and having them rise to the occasion and do it back, and seeing how long we can riff on each others' general snark... Many people take this the wrong way and think I'm being mean to them, but when I find someone who "gets" it, it is such fun
6. Intelligent conversation
   A sampling of conversation topics me & some of my lovers have had: attempts at interpreting films, what college education is for, post-modernism/Baudrillard, gender performance, what we value and why we value those things, etc etc...
7. Sexual versatility
   Oh hey, you're into a lot of kinky things in bed? Me too! Let's roll! (lol, not really, that would make my sex life so much easier to deal with)
8. Charisma
   I've mentioned this more times than I can count. i.e. someone with enough confidence and self-assurance, but who isn't a complete douche about it
9. Straightforwardness/ability to communicate
   Please.
   
   and last but not least...
10. Androgyny
    We all knew that already!

My Nominations are...

At Longing's End - pretty much one of the only blogs I still read regularly now. Being friends with the bloggers and having lived in their house for 2 months kinda helps. Sexy, insightful writing, beautiful photography, the occasional random commentary on SYTYCD... what more do you want?

Hey Epiphora - my go-to site for sex toy reviews. Snarky, well-written, and informative.

Writing Dirty - my only beef with this blog is that it's not updated nearly often enough. That said, the erotic stories on here are intriguing, kinky and awesome. I've diddled myself to them many a lonely night. My endeavors to get said blogger's attention in the comments section/on Twitter/etc have all been in vain, though. Maybe I should step it up a bit and start stalking him at his house or something... (c'mon you know I'd never do a thing like that...)

Easily Aroused - more hot and smart erotica. Yummy. Also the writer is British! That makes it even sexier! (Just kidding. Kind of.)

I'm not exactly banking on any of these people picking up the meme - but I just thought I'd spread the love. Love!

Blog you later
