Slog - Comments on Women's Fantasies: Not Just About Waterfalls Anymore http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/04/womens_fantasies_not_just_about_waterfal You may recall the recent story about female orgasms in which a researcher claimed chicks really dig fantasizing about waterfalls. Well, now you can add men doing housework to that list: The Cambridge Women's Pornography Cooperative, responsible for this little 98-page gem ... says that when it comes to pornography, what really turns women on is men who clean the bathroom without being asked, or make a gourmet dinner, or bring home flowers for no reason, or volunteer to watch the kids. They took all those fantasies, and photographer Susan Alexander lined up a bunch of great-looking guys to pose...

Seriously.

Anyway, don't fret Erica, I'm sure someone will eventually publish a book of castration porn for you.

Cleaning is lame. I'm with Erica on this- how is this clichéd nonsense supposed to turn me on? Are they bringing home the flowers naked? I'll stick with the French rugby calendar.

The book itself looks a bit tame, but it certainly inspires some scenarios that had not previously occurred to me.

My husband will be so pleased to hear about this.

Even saddder is a joke that is taken seriously and analyzed. Of course that is not as bad as some of the people that are offended by the joke.

Probaby aimed at the same demographic that thinks owning a coffee mug that says "a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" is edgy and hilarious.

I thought that a group had made the book as a joke based on a 'study' that someone else had done. I'm going to assume for my own sanity that the entire project is a joke.

That and download the pic of the guy cleaning! Desktop!

I cook a sleigh load for the bird. Look, you got your baked chicken with asparagus and turnips and you know a lady loves a nice salad. Then you got your BLT's, your bacon and eggs, sunny side up with toast; you got your breakfast burritos with homemade guac, maybe a mango. You got coffee pretty much everyday in bed, because I wake you up and give it to you in your hand. You got your many iterations of pasta sauces and pastas, you got a cod and potato soup with saffron, a baked trout with shrimp coctail (with chilled iceberg, duh) and trader joe's cremant. You've got baked salmon with homemade creamed corn, you have paellas every now and again, with which I don't skimp on no bullshit stock. You have mayo-type salads for sandwiches, for which I like some cold green olives as accompaniment. So does she. Loves 'em. Stuffed with anchovies is a great call. You have your jazzed up Mexican, your Asian shit. See? You've got a bunch of stuff.

Desserts, I'm not strong on. But if you like ice cream, you know, sharing a pint over a little cable wind-down, I handle that no problem.

I realize I'm a bit bonered out right now. Because she likes to pop in there, too. She's making me pesto and tortellini right now. Boo ya!
