Turn On or Turn Off: The Touchy Feely Flirt

DearSugar — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 13:00:00 -0700

The dating world is filled with all types of men. There's the elusive, practically perfect gentleman, the drunk and disorderly jerk, and everything in between. But there's something inherently intimate about a guy who uses the familiar powers of touch to create a connection. Obviously there's a difference between a few light brushes and inappropriate groping, but I think some touching inevitably establishes a temporary closeness. While I'm personally a fan of the more subtle approach, I can see how the familiarity of a touchy-feely flirt can be seriously appealing. What do you think? Is a man who uses the powers of touch a turn on or turn off for you?

Relationship Protocol: Is Constant Affection a Relationship Necessity?

DearSugar — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0700

Outside of sex, physical affection is still a significant part of any relationship. It’s a way for couples to express their desire, devotion, and connection without saying a word. With the stresses and demands of daily life, what begins as a very affectionate relationship can end up being one in which a quick kiss or cuddle on the couch is all a couple has time for on a given day. Like saying “I love you,” for some couples the show of affection remains a rare, but nevertheless, special occurrence. It may not be ideal, but do you think that a relationship with limited affection can still be a healthy one? Or do you find constant affection a necessity? If so, how do you and your significant other express it outside of the bedroom?

Handle This: Getting It on in Front of You

DearSugar — Fri, 23 May 2008 10:00:00 -0700

A friend invites you out with her boyfriend because she misses you. Even though you hate to be a third wheel, you agree to go because you’re trying to be a good friend. At first things are fine, but as the night wears on, your friend and her man keep getting more and more physical. If he's not brushing his fingers over her neck and chest, then she's running her hands through his hair.

The excessive PDA is getting old, and you go the bathroom to get it away from it for a while. You’re sure it can’t get much worse, but when you get back to the table, they’re fully groping each other and making out. You're totally grossed out, but you feel uncomfortable interrupting them, so how do you handle this?

Dear Poll: What's More Sensual? Hands or Lips?

DearSugar — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:00:00 -0700

Being touched is a great thing, but the right touch can be absolutely amazing. We know that our body is covered with nerve endings and erogenous zones, which when touched, can send electric bolts of sensation right through us. So let me ask you this, when you’re getting frisky, is it more sensual to be touched by lips or by hands?

Dear Poll: Do You Like Your Ears Nibbled?

DearSugar — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:00:00 -0800

As I'm sure we all know, the female body is covered in erogenous zones like the back of your neck, inner thighs, or even your ears. It's those extra-sensitive places that when touched just the right way, can really get a girl in the mood. However, not all women enjoy attention in the same areas; in fact, one woman's hot spot may be another woman's off-limits zone. Ears seem to always fall into one of these extremes; either you love to have them sucked and nibbled or you can't stand it. So which side do you fall on?

Love It Or Leave It: Soft Touch Light Dimmers

GeekSugar — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 13:00:56 -0700

The Essential Wall Dimmers offer a new and colorful way to adjust the lights in your home. All you have to do is tap on the tufted textile sensor and it turns on, off or dims your lights. Each dimmer is handcrafted in Seattle, WA from Designtex wool felt, conductive yarns, neoprene, and acrylic. The electronic fibers are embedded directly into the material, so there are no hidden buttons or switches in the fabric. I like the idea for playrooms and even a funky, mod family room or game room. What do you think?

Don't Be Afraid To Feel Your Food

partysugar — Tue, 29 May 2007 09:03:17 -0700

Sometimes your hands can be the best tools, better than a pair of tongs or a spatula. When tossing salads of dainty greens and perfectly cut vegetables, don't crush them with metal tongs, instead drizzle the dressing or vinaigrette and toss gently with your hands to mix.

When grilling, instead of cutting a piece of meat open to determine the doneness feel it you don't want any of the flavorful juices seeping out. Touch with your index finger, it should feel like your earlobe for rare, like the tip of your noise for medium, and like your chin for well done.
