Socks, Sex, and Positions

Socks

Happy 2002! It's good to be back with a "real" column again, after a few weeks of cleaning out the 2001 mailbag. Actually, the mailbag questions and answers triggered a good deal of great feedback, and even some good discussion material.

One of the questions from last week's part three was from a female reader who wanted to know why men often keep their socks on during sex. I thought it was a great question, because it has happened to me as well. Several times. 

Interestingly, the only information I found about this phenomenon on the Internet were other females complaining about it to advice columns! Sound familiar? Nothing about why it occurs. Luckily, I began soliciting feedback on the subject a week ago, and while my results are certainly not scientific, they seem to be the most anyone has conducted. So you might say, here are the definitive Internet results of why many men wear socks during sex!

My research, like so much of my work, is somewhat inconclusive. I received well over 200 responses, mostly from men, and I can't say that there was a major majority with any of the answers. The most common reasons given dealt with laziness ("the last thing I'm thinking about when about to have sex is bothering to take my socks off"), effort ("when I'm in the middle of making love, all of my efforts are concentrating on the lovemaking"), unattractiveness ("men generally have ugly feet"), and feet being cold ("it just feels better with socks on - and my feet stay warm").

I also received reasons that I might never have even considered. Among them: scratching ("My toenails are sharp, and I do not want to scratch my mate"), time ("takes too long to take them off"), sandpaper ("my feet are like sandpaper"), nakedness ("I prefer not to feel completely naked"), and odor ("do not want to upset the mood since my feet generally stink").

I should also note that I received a couple dozen responses from men who said they would never have sex with their socks on. So while this seems to be fairly common, there are those who would never let it happen!

Positions/Techniques

On to a new topic, sexual positions. I have written about this before (and this is one of the three finalists for a follow-up column, see the poll below and if you are reading this, please vote!) But I want this to be a little different. Instead of merely discussing favorite sexual positions (women on top won big last time among both sexes), I want to share some wild sexual positions and techniques with my readers. Do you have one that you use that might be useful to others readers who might want to experiment? If so...

Please e-mail me your most daring sexual position or technique. Provide as much detail as possible, and I will be publishing the best (or wildest) ones here next week for all to enjoy. Anonymously, of course! Who knows, I might even try a few of them out myself! :)

To get you started, here is a reprint from an old Sex Crap column by my predecessor, Nikki James. She wrote about a technique called "the rack." Here it is...

Step 1: After you and your partner are stimulated, be it by foreplay or what you have, find a chair that you would most likely see at a bar...one with no arms to it, and feet rests...have the man sit in it regular.

Step 2: Have the woman turn around, her back facing the man, and have her straddle the man by using the foot rests... (If foot rests are not available, try making two even flat stacks on either side of the chair. LEVERAGE IS KEY).

Step 3: The woman now squats down slowly onto the man's penis. She can put her hands on his legs for balance. Doing this very slowly the first time he goes in is suuuuuccccchhhhh a good thing! The woman then proceeds to squat up and down on the man's penis...slowly at first...and then getting faster.

Step 4: Guys, you can help the ladies by placing your hands on her hips and lifting her to the desired height. You control how fast she goes and how hard she comes down. You can also let your hands wander (if you know what I mean).

Step 5: Get into it! But make sure both partners are being satisfied! When done correctly, it is an enlightening experience for both!

Step 6: Make the "O" face. That's right, I said the "O" face. This is the part when it feels so good that both of you are cumming and the only face you can make is :O
