An old Teddy Pendergrass song starts out with “Turn off the lights, and light a candle…”  Teddy P continues to wow crowds of people whenever this very line is played.  Nothing much to what he’s saying, but more evident is the context of what it means.  Teddy was giving all mood setters who heard his song advice on how to set the mood.

Moods can be set in several ways:

• Kissing.  Good wholesome tongue action kissing.  Men and women are both turned on by kissing.  Whether it be the soft skin of the touching lips or the lips and wet tongue taking a journey around one’s neck, ears, chest, etc. – it works, Trust me!
• Temptation.  Never fall into a stagnant sex life.  The same routine of get naked, lie down, get busy can get very boring to most and drives the “sex drive” right out of your sexual relationship.  Instead be somewhat of a tease, dress in a tempting manner, act as if you’re luring your partner in.
• Attire.  Buy the attire you would like for your partner to wear.  If you buy it, that means chances are – you like it.  Your partner will more than likely enjoy it because its sexy, you bought it, and they get to model it for you.
• Atmosphere.  Candles, Bubble baths, satin sheets, light music, rub on creams, ice, strawberries, chocolate, and even cool whip.  All a recipe for very pleasing night.

I know you’ve become quite excited now but we need you to refocus your attention.  It’s survey time, and we want to know….

Most of us grew up subliminally thinking that we had to find a young man or woman that was of the same ethnicity as our own.  To be Black and select a White mate and vice versa was just something you didn’t do.  But of course this was the older way of thinking.  In the current 2000 era, America and several other countries are truly diverse communities now.  Even in my own community, just walking down my street and saying “Hello” would introduce me to over 10 nationalities.

With that said, it is only a matter of time before you, me, your friends, your co-workers, and all eventually cross paths with someone of different ethnicity.  Taking it a step further to your sexual life – which ethnicity are you going to prefer?

I have several friends who have dated multiple persons of a particular background.  They seem to really like them according to the stories I’ve heard.  But enough of me and my friends, what do you prefer?

Me:  Let me begin by apologizing.  I’m sorry….

Survey Magnet Audience:  Why?

Me:  I’m sorry because someone has lied to you.  Yes, that’s right.  Someone has told you that they have only had sex with X number of people or they have had sex with XX number of people. (or maybe even XXX number of people)

Survey Magnet Audience:  Why did they lie?

Me:  Well, it depends.  There are two reasons for this.

1. Someone wants you to believe they are not as experienced as they have led you to believe.  They may feel that if you knew about their many partners, you would not want them with all that tread wear.
2. Someone wants you to believe that they are experienced when they really are not.  Ladies, don’t over think this one.  It’s a guy thing.  I don’t know why, they just do it.  I guess it’s a macho thing.

Survey Magnet Audience:  That’s crazy.  I don’t believe the majority of the general population lies about this!  Let’s take a vote.

Me:  Ok.  Here you go…

Quality

Attribute, characteristic, or property of a thing or phenomenon that can be observed and interpreted, and may be approximated (quantified) but cannot be measured, such as beauty, feel, flavor, taste.

Now that we have the quality meaning, how do you correlate this to your sexual experiences?  Is there a certain “quality” of sex that you expect from your partner?  Variations of people are so vast that sexual experiences should be just as wide.

People could rank themselves as:

• Energizer Bunnies – energy for days
• Pedestals – just sit, stand, lay there
• Beasts – do it anyway other than laying down
• Tortoises – just pacing themselves

But what gives you the best quality.  What does it take to rock your socks?

Men and women have both sought to enhance their sexual experiences through use of several toys, gels, creams, and foods.  Yes – foods.  AKA aphrodisiacs.

Aphrodisiac by definition is any substance that increases sexual desire.  The name originated from the Greek goddess, Aphrodite.  Although scientifically nothing has ever been proven to increase sexual desire, many people try and use various things with the belief that they do.

So since science can’t prove it, the Survey Magnet team will seek guidance on the matter.  So helps us out and tell us what aphrodisiacs seem to stimulate your freaky side…

Back in my younger days, I ran the mile in 5 minutes 32 seconds.  Quite an awesome feat, although the world record time is under 4 minutes.  When compared to by current days, 5 minutes is time enough to do plenty.

• Take the trash out
• Clean my car’s interior
• Load the washing machine
• Brush my teeth and wash my face
• Make a quick snack
• Make up the bed
• Check my email
• Vacuum a room

But when I gave a special someone 5 minutes of my time, she acted as if I’d betrayed her trust or even violated a bond.  So as not to trigger these emotions again, I decided to double her pleasure and fun.  I gave her a whopping 10 minutes!  Much to my dismay, she was even more disappointed?!?!?!  At this point, I had to ask, “What is the longest session of sex you’ve had or expect to have?”  She replied, “Only about an hour since we have to work in the morning.”

I was shocked.  There’s no way.  What man wants to give away an hour of his day for something that can be done in 5 minutes?  Surveymagnet audience – please tell me if I’m just not built for this or if she is in the wrong. What is the longest session you’ve put down?

99.9% of people all agree that sex is a great feeling, act, motion, movement, overall thing to do.  Normally, most couples find their love making in the bedroom between the sheets (as the Isley Brothers say).

However, I’m sensing that many of you out there have found the love below in various other places.  I sense some of you are:

• Beach goers
• Boat getters
• Members of the mile high club
• Nightclubbers
• Movie Theatre back row lovers
• In the Pool wetters
• and of course, the Car window foggers

I’m sure many of you are wondering how did I know.  Guess I’m just good, but today we want to know why is this?  Why do you raise these feelings to the 10th power in these alternate venues?  Is your car and the pool really that good?

Awwwww, yes…..S-E-X.

• Horizontal mambo
• Burying the boner
• Bumping uglies
• Laying pipe
• Making babies
• Doing the nasty
• Making whoopie
• Knockin’ boots

Regardless of what you call it, it’s when you and your partner get together to share those sensual moments.  Those moments are believed by most to be only shared by the two involved.  Well, as we all know.  This is not always the case.  I’m sure you’ve had a buddy that told you about his phenomenal experience with that one particular girl.  Or perhaps during the girls day out, sex talk came up amongst the girls.  Some good, some bad.

“He can’t make her attain her orgasm.”

“She just doesn’t move enough for him to really enjoy it.”

“Girl, I found myself quivering for the next 2 hours!”

Do you feel its right to discuss this among the public?  Are you hurting or helping your own situation?  Enlighten me….

There are 2 extremes when it comes to sexual encounters.

Quick and Dirty

• Minimal foreplay
• No music
• Quick
• Dirty
• Satisfying for one party

Romantic

• Strong element of foreplay
• Romantic music
• Aphrodisiacs
• Satisfying for both parties

Which one sounds more like you?

As time passes we get older and certain things must stop (for the sake of all that is right).  Old age causes a loss of memory, wilting of muscle mass, the need to retire from work, and it simultaneously gives the person the right to say whatever they want.

These are accepted parts of getting old.  There is a part of getting old that most people don’t discuss…sex.  At some point sex (just like work) must cease.

What is the magic number for you?
