sun_set_bravelyToday I got a spam e-mail with the title: "Make Love Like a Teen Again!"
To me, this sounds like a threat more than an alluring promise. If you use their product, you'll be transported to the Golden Age of Sexuality -- those magical and sexually fulfilling teenage years where you groped your date uncertainly, not sure what either of you were looking for. And if you had sex, you probably wondered what you did wrong, because it was weird and not so fun. Ahhh, those days of carefree awkwardness, when the boys didn't know about the clitoris, and the girls were uncomfortable with their bodies.
I'm generalizing, I know. Maybe there's a secret commune of enlightened teenagers having the mind-blowing sex that the rest of us only dream about.
If I knew there were a live person at the other end of that e-mail address, I'd be tempted to recommend a new subject line.
