Dr. Ruth says: great sex is like fine wine
“Having intimate sex is like drinking fine wine.”
Those wise words come from none other than Dr. Ruth, whose new book entitled “Dr. Ruth’s Top 10 Secrets for Great Sex” is excerpted on MSNBC.com.
Here’s a … um … taste:
Let me give you an illustration from another arena altogether to help me explain this point: drinking alcohol. Anyone can drink enough wine to get tipsy. You can drink the cheapest, most awful tasting wine and still get quite drunk. But when you drink the cheap stuff, maybe holding your nose so that you don’t taste it as much, you certainly don’t appreciate all the other qualities that wine has to offer.
However, if you drink a fine wine, after having learned to appreciate its subtleties, while you may wind up feeling the effects of the alcohol, you’ll also enjoy the taste, aroma, and the overall sensory experience that drinking fine wine entails. So the wine connoisseur enjoys his wine fully, even intimately. And he, or she, doesn’t just gulp down the wine but, instead, swirls it in a glass to release its aroma, smells it, sips rather than gulps the wine in order to savor the many flavors before swallowing, and usually makes sure that any food that accompanies the wine complements it.
Having intimate sex is like drinking fine wine. You may have orgasms with or without intimacy, but you’ll get a lot more out of a sexual liaison if intimacy is part of the experience.
Hard to disagree, isn’t it?
Tip o’ the cap to my blogging colleague Alder Yarrow at Vinography for discovering this little gem and Twittering about it.

Champagne bottle injures championship skier, forces surgery
I’m beginning to think that championship athletes should find something else to celebrate with other than Champagne.
Check out this story about American skier Lindsey Vonn slicing her thumb on a Champagne bottle. Vonn was celebrating her victory in the downhill in a competition in Austria.
The injury required surgery, because the tendon on her right thumb “was completely cut through,” an Austrian doctor told reporters.
The story begs another question:
How in the world does one use a ski to open a bottle of Champagne?
