Twitter has done it again.  I’ve been steered in the direction of a lovely (relatively) new sex blog called Uncommon Appetites.  It certainly doesn’t hurt that I heard about them because they posted about me on their blog, but regardless, I ended up getting absolutely sucked into their blog and charmed by their approach to sexuality.

It’s written by a married couple (Violet and Rye) in their 20s in New York City, basically chronicling their enjoyment of sex with each other.  It sounds pretty simple, and that’s exactly what’s so appealing about it.  There’s not gimmick, no back story, no florid erotica, no over-the-top tales, no ultra-academic approach to sex…  It’s just two people who really enjoy having sex with each other.

When I talk about how I’m happy that The Art of Blowjob helps couples reconnect with their sexuality and to explore each other further, this is the kind of thing I’m talking about.  It doesn’t have to always be lavishly sensual or out-of-this-world kinky…  Any sex together where they’re really present and in the moment is perfect.  Of course, these two are great writers with a really approachable and familiar tone, so it’s really easy to get wrapped up in their stories, but this can be any couple’s story as long as they’re willing to be honest and open about what they want and need from a sexual relationship.

Besides, Violet has some really great notions about blowjobs.  Here’s a few of her thoughts on the subject:

In my youth, I admit to viewing giving head as sort of a race. “Oh, hello, you un-suspecting little loverboy, want to see me make you blow in a minute or less?” Which, don’t get me wrong, is still fun occasionally. But with Rye, it’s become more about the process. I like to look up at him and see him seeing me take his whole dick in my mouth. I like to draw it out a little. To make him squirm. Sweat. Plead. It makes the mouthful that I get, in all it’s ever-changing consistencies and flavors, particularly gratifying. Nearly as gratifying as his shivering, murmuring snuggle afterward.

 

A woman after my own heart!  And of course, Rye gives as good as he gets.  So go take a look and let me know what you think.  Would you ever start up a sex blog like this?  And what would it say?
