Speaking of GGG, On a Scale of 1-10…

In yesterday’s post I made reference to the phrase GGG and even joked about there being a GGG scale. I provided a link to the Urban Dictionary (my favorite reference source) so that folks who weren’t familiar with the phrase could get become so.

But since GGG is the topic du jour:

GGG stands for Good, Giving, and Game. More specifically: good in bed, giving equal time and equal pleasure, and game for anything—within reason. The term was coined by Dan Savage, gay author and sex advice columnist for the Stranger.

Within reason is a very relative statement. What one person considers within reason, another might think of as a freakishly insane (intentionally judgmental label).

Anyway, I got to thinking (the way I do) about the idea of actual GGG scale and started to wonder just where people fell. Is it like a bell curve? Do most people fall somewhere in the middle? I want to know!

Just how GGG are YOU? On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the most and 1 being the least, how would you rate yourself?

That’s So Hot. (A List of What is and What isn’t Sexy)

So I was out last night at a little tweetup, having fun, when all of a sudden it hit me – wow, our group was made up of a lot of pretty damn sexy individuals.  Now I’m not saying this just to fluff a bunch of egos.  Not at all.  It’s just what I was [...]

My Trip to the Lady Doctor

So last week I went in for my annual tune up aka my annual pap smear.  This year was different because I was seeing a new ob/gyn for the first time in ages. Now, first I should say that I didn’t actually go out of my way to make this appointment.  When I called the office [...]
