Cosmo’s sex position of the day proves they’re lazy, uninspired misogynists (water is also wet)
Taking the old Cosmo Sex Position of the Day app out for a whirl I was greeted with the Standing Tiger/Crouching Dragon. Sigh, where to begin. First of all, with a sex app for women the man’s position shouldn’t, you know, be listed first. And of course the men are the tigers and women the dragons, … Continue reading
Cosmo’s sex position of the day: reinventing the wheel, and badly
The fact I could not find an inner tube threw me on my quest to evaluate the choice goodness (*cough*) that was the last offering on my Cosmo Sex Position of the Day app. It was for science people!

The social conservatives think that the vaccine is a license for wanton pre-teen sex and the anti-vaxxers are worried our … Continue reading
Cosmo’s latest sex position proves they know as little about sprinklers as they do orgasms
Offensive alliteration and woeful ignorance of female anatomy can mean but one thing…it’s time to review another Cosmo sex position of the day. The sexy sprinkler. “Hey baby, let’s go do the sexy sprinkler.” Now I dare you (in fact I double dog dare you) to say that without either: A) vomiting B) laughing yourself … Continue reading
Cosmo’s sex position of the day: a “meh” for pleasure, a #fail for message
The Cosmo sex position of the day is the Bootyful View. Ah, the play on words. It’s so witty, it is as if the name were conceived by this generation’s queen of the malapropisms, Sarah Palin herself.
