Admit it. Everytime you’re in line at the grocery store, you can’t help but take a quick peek at the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine. After all, what guy can ignore the words “Shocking Things Women Do In Bed” placed next to a smoking hot model? Now, before being tempted enough to actually buy a copy, know that ‘Cosmo’ is not always right. In fact, they are often guilty of concealing some important factors when declaring they can teach you how to have ‘the best sex ever”. Below, we list some of the things that Cosmo never told you:
1. Sex Toys – Dildos and vibrators, butt plugs and handcuffs; these are a few of Cosmopolitans favorite things. And while they love nothing more than to push their readers into buying as many sex toys as possible, what happens when you have a couple of curious children? Sure, a carefully stashed vibrator may go by unsuspected, but leave your sex paraphernalia lying around the house and you’ll wind up scarring your children for life.
2. Sex & Food – While I would never say no to champagne and strawberries, there comes a point where having food in the bedroom becomes a problem. Have you ever tried to mix honey and pubic hair? I wouldn’t recommend it. Not only will your bed sheets get incredibly filthy (and not in a good way) but you’ll risk ending up in the hospital when you find out your vag is lactose-intolerant.
3. Sexting – Sending a couple of racy text messages to your significant-other can be a lot of fun. What’s not fun, is when a magazine places so much importance in sexting that your girlfriend becomes obsessed with it. So much so, in fact, that you quickly run out of replies and start to dream of the days where you actually had real-life sex.
4. Bondage – I’d be lying if I said that a little rope action will do nothing for your sex life. When free porn is no longer sufficient, some good old fashioned bondage can do wonders. On the other hand, scaring the living hell out of your boyfriend with handcuffs and ropes in tow is not exactly sexy. Refrain from taking Cosmo’s articles too literally.
5. Outdoor Sex – By now, we all know that Cosmopolitan loves nothing more than to promote an exiting and liberating sex life. And what better way to do that then by romping outdoors? But what may start off as thrilling may end up with you and your significant-other in the back of a cop car. Just something to keep in mind.
