		<description><![CDATA[Degradation triggers, according to my friend who coined the term, are turn-ons from actions and roles that normally fall outside the structure of conventional sex.  He mused that everyone has a trigger like this - something that feels wrong but it just feels so right.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Tuesday morning; this article begins sometime around 1:30 AM when I mysteriously, after ninety minutes of sleep, awake and damn it all if I don&#8217;t get back to sleep. I want to tell you I heard the siren call of my website; abandoned these past few weeks while my life kind of bounced around [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the fact that I've been pretty much on my own since 18, I've dated many, many men who still live at home and whose mothers still do their cooking, dishes, and laundry. While I often spend summer evenings enjoying a bottle of wine and a good book in my backyard surrounded by my potted plants, I generally date men who would rather be playing Xbox with a six-pack of PBR in their parents' basement.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my friends, a heterosexual male, was describing the new movie Watchmen to me a few days ago.  His biggest commentary on it, other than the awesome violence, was that there was waaaaaay too much male full frontal for his liking, accompanied by physical shuddering, etc.  This isn't the first time I've heard a comment like this.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Question: Do all guys get turned on by their reflection? Answer: I&#8217;m a bad person to ask because I stop and look at myself every time I pass a mirror. That includes those mirrored polls in department stores, my reflection in a car window, even occasionally on my watch face. I guess you could take [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Try writing about your sex life. Not the torrid details, but just try describing the romantic entanglements of...say the last two years.  Start the beginning of the time period and describe the person you were with then.  Talk about how you two spent time together, about the frustrations of your relationship (if you even called it a relationship) and the joys of spending time together.  Describe the parts of his personality that turned you on, or the parts of his body (er, ahem, proceed gently).  How long did it last? Is it still going on?  How did you meet? In a bar, through friends, online?  Who came next? How long were you alone?  And when you move on to the next person, start again.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For some reason the ladies of the night swarm to me, much like cult members of some space invader Jesus sect. Maybe they smell my reticence like a perfume and can&#8217;t resist approach. I hear cats have that same sense of things. Maybe though it&#8217;s a symptom of their own desperation, not mine. I&#8217;m clean, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The delay of Daylight Savings is another strange intervention of government that seems purposefully ineffective. Seeking to power down the nation (or the 48/50ths of us that participate in Daylight Savings) and ostensibly relieve the pressure and cost of winter utilities, the changing of clocks was pushed back another few weeks yet last year.

		<description><![CDATA[At 6 a.m. in Clackamas, steps from the biggest mall in Oregon, there is only one thing open. Starbucks. Oh sure, the neighborhood seems promising. There is a Target, Payless Shoes and every chain restaurant under the sun within spitting distance of the hotel. But with the sunrise hours away (a brisk 40 degrees but [...]]]></description>
