<\/a>\n\nI'm not super familiar with Paramore, or by proxy, lead singer Hayley Williams, but this Cosmo<\/em> feature let me learn that I probably didn't have to read this article to know what kind of girl she is. She's alternative. She's punk. She's weird. She's funky. Hayley says in high school she was picked on, surprise, surprise. But she eventually got sweet revenge in the form of a corn dog. \n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.radioactivecookies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/rubberband1.jpg?resize=474%2C376&ssl=1\" "\\"rubberband\\"")
<\/a>\n\nSo Cosmo<\/em> decided to recycle an old idea and breath new-ish life into it, with their article on The Rubber-Band Effect<\/em> a described \n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.radioactivecookies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/orgasm1.jpg?resize=215%2C300&ssl=1\" "\\"orgasm\\"")
<\/a>\n\nOrgasms. They're fun right? More than one is funner? Lots is the funnest? Right? WRONG! For one woman, orgasming was all she could do and it was destroying her life. It all began one day at the office, she felt an intense itching that quickly spread throughout her body and into her nether-regions. Like any red-blooded American woman, she decided to masturbate... and it worked. Getting off subsided the itching, but it came back later that day. Soon it was all she could do.\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.radioactivecookies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/eon_contortionist1.jpg?resize=400%2C389&ssl=1\" "\\"eon_contortionist\\"")
<\/a>\n\nWhile reading through the traditional sex tip list in this month's Cosmo<\/em> I cam across a couple different themes in what these guy's exes didn't do in bed.\n\nGirly Moves He Craves<\/strong>\n\n6. He wants to be the little spoon.\n9. Play with his hair during sex.\n17. Spank him.\n20. Use toys.\n33. Take control and dominate him.\n64. Denis, 24 says that his ex used to run to the bathroom post-sex, \"I would have preferred she let me stay inside her for a few minutes just to feel closer to her.\" I have learned this is called potatoing. \n\nCome On, I'm A Guy!<\/strong>\n\n14. Play with his jewels, Drew 30 says they're \"like the clitoris for guys.\" Really?\n16. Swallow.\n37. Compliment his member.\n40. Try anal sex. Just try it. Just try. Why won't you just try it?!\n49. Give him head on your knees.\n61. Ritch, 31 only likes when girls sit up straight during women on top, \"My ex would bend over so our faces were close when she was in this position and I couldn't see her breasts or anything else. It kind of make it pointless.\" Pointless, really?\n\n\n\nHow Guys Really Feel About Your BO<\/strong><\/ins>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.radioactivecookies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/binge_eating_women1.jpg?resize=474%2C265&ssl=1\" "\\"binge_eating_women\\"")
<\/a>\n\nWe've heard it before, smell is a huge attraction factor. And while guys obviously go crazy over our lotion and potion scents, they like to smell us au naturel too. One guy lays down the distinction between sexy stank and just plain funky.\n\nSexy Stank<\/strong>\n\nThe Scenario:<\/strong> You've just come back from the gym.\nOlfactory Factor: <\/strong>\"We get it: Women worry that if a guy is too close, he'll be turned off by her postgym odor. The thing is, we're actually turned on by it. Yes, we like that sweat smell on a woman, because there's something insanely animalistic and untamed about it... and that screams sex.\"\n\nPlain Funky<\/strong>\n\nThe Scenario: <\/strong>You've been binging and vegging out on the couch watching re-runs.\nOlfactory Factor: <\/strong>\"It's what goes along with that couch sweat that is the real boner bomb: The sweats, grimy hair, and the all-around blah mood are way too reminiscent of our stoner buddies. We've certainly never wanted to do anything taboo with them... Which I am sure is just fine with you, since you're in the middle of a Chinese-food coma anyway.\"\n\nHmm... seems to me there's a deeper issue, like um, I don't know, when a girl goes to the gym she's trying to stay fit and when a girl's eating Chinese food on the couch she reminds you that she can indeed get fat. How about Chinese food on a stationary bike while watching TV?\n\n\n\nDecode His Texts<\/strong><\/ins>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.radioactivecookies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/manonphonerex_468x54811.jpg?resize=400%2C428&ssl=1\" "\\"manonphoneREX_468x548\\"")
