ok....so I'm a complete geek and had my first article published with the Sex Herald. Want some feedback on what you all think. Here's the link and wash your genitals:

Nice write-up C,
I am sure that all us has had an unfortunate sexual experience with someone whose hygiene was not up to par. What I hate most are when people go clubbing (sweaty and all) and then go hook-up without running some water on their ass!
Another thing I hate is women (I would say people but I could care less the hygiene of other males) who do not know how to wipe their ass properly, nothing worse than hitting it doggy and getting a whiff of dirty ass! BTW, for those who think that TP is sufficient, you are sorely mistaken, you must use some Wet-Ones or baby wipes to adequately clean the area after a bowel movement, at the least slighty dampen some TP with water if access to baby wipes is not available.
I could go on for days about hygiene...............
To Carlin re your article
Hi Carlin,
I don't understand... your saying that women shouldn't wash the inner lips of their vulva? I mean... when I shower, I use just normal bar soap, and i wash my mons pubis, the seams where my legs join my torso.. i don't know what that area is called, but it is in the "bikini area" so i consider it a genital area, and then i spread my outer lips and wash my inner lips, clit, etc. This is not supposed to be done? I would feel so dirty down there if I didn't wash like I do... I always "check the area" before any kind of sexual contact, and sometimes I have found a thicker white substance right in the seam of where the inner lips meet the vulva, and i take my finger and wash it off of there, or if i'm not in the shower, i use a wet wipe and wipe it out of there... that would just stay there if i didnt wash it away, wouldn't it?
i also don't use toilet paper. i think that causes all kinds of hygeine issues. before i started using wipes, i would REGULARLY notice pieces of toilet paper getting stuck to parts of my vulva, and that is definitely not attractive. I think I've been using wipes for close to 10 years... long before it became so popular... all I see is TV commercials now advertising specifically made wipes for flushing... I always had to use baby wipes before. I agree with Don Juan above, and can't believe how many people only use Toilet Paper to wipe their ass after a bowel movement. I use both. I wipe first with TP and then finish up with wipes... if people would just do that ONCE and see how much they leave behind with just TP, everyone would be so much better off.
Nothing more disgusting than going down on a guy and getting a "whiff of dirty ass" as Don Juan says. NASTY. I can't stand disgusting hygeine habits. I carry baby wipes with me at ALL TIMES in my purse. I refuse to use toilet paper... I just do NOT feel clean using it. None of the men I have ever been with have ever complained of an odor down there, in fact, many have proclaimed that they love the smell of my pussy... so I think I'm doing the right things.

baby wipes
When I was a corporate attorney working 15 hour days and hooking up afterwards, before I even left the office I would grab a baby wipe from my bag and wipe my ass. I always had baby wipes in my bag.
You're sitting in pantyhose all day and then your afternoon dump comes around AND you're going to hook up without taking care of things down there - never for me. I would never want to offend someone especially in the bedroom. Plus it makes you feel sexier when you're all clean and pretty.
Funny aside: Chead had just started dating this guy. He was attractive, fun, accomplished - they had sex 1.5 times and then I got the call (he was a friend of mine and I did the intro). She didn't know how to break it to me so she just blurted it out, "I couldn't have full sex with him because he smells like ass!" I was like, "his ass smells or is there a generalized ass smell?" Her reply, "I mean his whole body smells like ass". And that was it. She didn't have to say another word.
so where do all the "studies say" come from? like, if we wanted to look at the studies you quoted too, how would we find them? where did you get the info? i have a friend who needs this info but would never just accept it - he would have to read the studies himself (he's a science geek!).
You say that like it's a bad thing. :P
The "studies"
If you click on the hyperlinks - the highlighted text, you'll hit all the studies I cite in the text of the article.
The study regarding sexual hygiene and HIV prevention ressearch that's based on a new book by Toby Marotta, Ph.D. - here's the link:

c-bitch,
I appreciated your candor and wisdom in keeping oneself clean and safe.
I wholeheartedly agree with being clean before sexual activity. That has been one of my "things" since I became sexually active in my teens.
It has put off partners in my past, but I never gave in. I have heard, "you have to wash off before and after sex?" more than I can count. It amazes me how many people don't even think about being clean before and/or after sex.
To me, clean is sexy! There is nothing more exciting than to have just had a shower and then have a romp while still a bit soggy from a shower together. Tasting freshly washed skin....what a rush!!!
Thanks for writing the article. I hope everyone reads it! By the way...there is NOTHING geeky about that article or you for that matter! :)
Thank you, JV
Thank you for the vote of confidence. It's so weird how I can write on the boards all day long but completely freak out my publishing on another site.
I'm writing a second article - waiting for the topic. I'm trying to build my clout as a writer as a precursor to "the book". I've always wanted to be a writer but was completely intimidated. But it seems the fates are with me. Wish me luck. Great to see you on the boards again. :D
Your quite welcome!
I look forward to reading your next article!
I had started a book a while ago and haven't been able to finish it yet. I know what you mean about being intimidated about writing. That was one of the things that held me back about writing what I have so far.
I thought, "how can my experience be superior to what is out already?" But then I realized that I too have a story to tell and it may be of value to someone. It may speak to them solely and in some way that nothing else has...so who knows?
Actually that is what brought me to this site to begin with. I was looking for some feedback from the female population...
I wish you all the luck in the world on your future endeavors!
I do check in now and again...just to see what's new. Still love the site by the way!
Here's to writing!
have to know
have to know what sort of book you're working on....maybe you could even give us a little taste. It would be good to have the feedback.
And why were you most interested in the tastes of women? Inquiring minds :twisted:
The book is entitled, "How to touch a woman, A Practical Guide"
It starts with some basic hygienics and some common sense items when preparing oneself for an intimate date. It has chapters on things like:
Learning and Experience
Back to the Basics
Body Language
A Brief Look at Female Anatomy (with lots of definitions and explanations) lol
A Woman's Cycle (in all its complexities) ;)
Foreplay
Sensual Massage (a new section that is still in the works)
Emotional Concerns (still working at this one)
Sexual Intercourse
Sex Toys
The Big "O"
"Other Activities"
and a conclusion
There is several keys points in the book, the most recurring and important, at least in my humble opinion, is communication.
The reason why I was most interested in a woman's point of view is that many men have no clue how to touch a woman...or at least the way she would enjoy. My impetus for the book was some experiences my wife and I had in the swinging life style. I wanted to get some thoughts of women and how they liked to be touched, the things they enjoy and don't enjoy and how to men can make a better attempt at pleasing a woman.
I think we were exposed to a good cross section of people and it occurred to me, after several comments my wife made to me about how she was treated, that there needs to be some basic common sense information imparted...thus the book.
