Not a day goes by that we don't think, "How the hell did we get such a cool job?" There are worse ways to make a living than writing and opining and joking about sex on DailyBedpost.com. Now, despite our exposure to the topic, we're not sexual athletes, acrobats or over-achievers. That said, blogging about sex every day does have it's fringe benefits:
1. We're lucky enough to occasionally get free samples, so road-testing new products is a great excuse to get it on. And the novelty of a new toy or accessory automatically keeps things interesting--it's hard to fall into a routine when you've got something like K-Y's new his-and-hers lube "Yours + Mine" or Vibratex's innovative We-Vibe to try. Which is why we're always recommending sex-toy shopping as a date, especially for long-term couples!
2. Along with swag, we get copies of new books on sex. And just when we think there couldn't possibly be anything new said about the topic, something comes along that helps put sex in a whole new light. For example, Sandra Pertot's recent book, "When Your Sex Drives Don't Match," proposes that just like different personality types, we have different sexuality types--some of which are compatible, some of which simply aren't. It's helped inform some of our advice and our own books.
3. Speaking of sex advice, when you dole it out every week, it forces you to think not only about how the situation should ideally be handled, but also about how you yourself would probably handle it. When those two things don't match up, i.e. when you fall short of your own ideal, it becomes clear that you need to do a little work on yourself. That kind of regular self-evaluation helps keep our own sexual relationships on track.
4. Working and writing from home is very conducive to midday quickies, whether alone or with our fellas. (Just so we're clear: we each have our own home office; we're not engaging in midday blogger orgies. The two of us are close, but not THAT close.)
