...performance with the 22 year old to make herself cool by association. And unlike Madonna, who dressed as a man and handed over her signature song to Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera at last year’s MTV Awards, Jackson was still insisting, even in her late 30s, that she be taken seriously as a sex symbol, worthy of the attention of men young enough to be in college...
...Roosevelt, when for women, sex was “an ordeal to be endured,” as we now imagine. The most famous survey of sexuality, the Kinsey report of the 1950s, recorded that 36 percent of women in their 20s and 15 percent of women in their 30s or older had never reached orgasm.

...SIMPLON-ORIENT-EXPRESS It's arguably the world's most romantic train journey?and who would want to argue, with so much romance in the air? Since 1883, the Orient Express has set the standard for a certain kind of luxury travel.

Nevertheless, scientists are light-years ahead of where they were in the 1920s and '30s, when estrogen and testosterone were first identified, and they know a great deal more than they did in the 1940s, when Alfred Kinsey, followed by the research team of William Masters and Virginia Johnson in the 1960s, published some of the first scholarly studies of human sexuality. Those studies concluded that sexual response proceeds in distinct stages, beginning with excitement--erection in men, engorgement of vaginal and clitoral tissue in women--proceeding to orgasm and finally to "resolution," in which tissues return to their normal...
...given that my attitude toward sex is about as subtle as my attitude toward writing, only without bothering with that introductory-paragraph part. So I signed up for a seminar at Toys in Babeland, a sex shop run by lesbians in Manhattan. Thirty other men in their 20s and 30s showed up for "Sex Tips for Straight Men." It turned out lesbians know a lot about how to have sex with a woman. They suggested conning your partner into doing things by making a dinner date to talk about your sex life, or, if that is too difficult, earmarking...
