I have a new piece up on the Blowfish Blog -- about the phrase, and the concept, "good in bed": what it means, what it implies, what it says about how we view sex, and so on. It's called, strangely enough, Good In Bed, and here's the teaser:
What does it mean to be "good in bed"?This phrase, "good in bed," has been stuck in my head lately. It's a phrase I've thought about a lot over the years.
And I've come to the conclusion that I don't like it.
To find out why the phrase "good in bed" gets up my nose, read the rest of the piece. (And if you have comments you want to post here, please consider also cross- posting them to the Blowfish Blog -- they like comments there, too.) Enjoy!
When I first heard the phrase "good in bed," I was too young to know what it meant (I knew what sex was, but it was so far off my radar that it didn't pop into my head right away).
So I figured, "Yeah, I'm good in bed. I mean, I do sleep a lot..."

Nowadays I think of "good in bed" as "doesn't wriggle around, doesn't disturb his brother, and stays there till seven am"
