Internet Love

I stayed in bed naked all day today, mostly by myself, and had a wonderful time catching up on my blog readings and internet surfings. Whenever I start to read blogs, I end up clicking around for hours. My ADD sets in and I always have 20 different windows open, video clips playing, things to read. It's a wonderful way to spend a day.

Today in my wanderings, I found Cherry TV, a wonderful little website that features videos of "normal" women talking about their sex lives around a table. There are also sexpert videos with advice on various things sexy.

I think this is a wonderful idea. A huge part of the problem with sex in this country is that we're so afraid to talk about it in a personal context, even when we do manage to bring it up intellectually or politically. It's great to see these women talking and all exclaiming with one another as they realize they share experiences, and also supporting each other in their differences.

My one critique is that the site, whose tag line is "Juicy Talk for Women," is decidedly heterocentric. All the video tags talk about what you're going to do to "him," and there aren't any lesbian or bisexual voices on a site that proposes to be for "women," which implies all women. It's not a huge critique, though, because it is a great resource for the heterosexual women it includes.

Definitely worth a peek to see what you think for yourself.
