Susie Sexpert

This is Jamie.

    "Susie Sexpert's Lesbian Sex World" was delightful to say the least.  Brief and forward, Susie Sexpert delves deeply into the world of female sexuality without any shame at all.  I wouldn't say that I am deprived or nervous to talk about sex in this way but it certainly empowered me just to read how nonchalant she is about this topic because it just reenforces the normalcy about it.  There is nothing wrong with questions so why do women blush at the subject?

     It is frustrating that our culture saves sex topics for the dirty magazines and E! Hollywood Specials.  I like how Susie Bright points out that Consumer Reports does not include a section on vibrators.  This is funny because it is so true!  One thing I am uncomfortable with is throwing my Dad in this same paragraph but I have to say that I am familiar with Consumer Reports because it happens to be my Dad's favorite piece of literature.  He relies on it for decisions on which cars, phones, and other electronic gadgets to buy for our family.  Is Cosmopolitan the only magazine for women who want fun electronic advice from?  That  is not to say that my Dad's favorite magazine should be flooded with images of vibrators, but why not have a women's section or magazine of equivalent value based on actual tests and data.  I'd like to know which straightening iron is better for my hair but I cannot always listen to my hairstylist who wants me to buy the one from her salon, or the Conair commercial that will only feed me empty promises.  Maybe I want to see some stats!
