I'm not talking about sex; I'm talking about the actual décor of the boudoir. From sheets to artwork, it seems that men are so much more likely to make horrifying choices. And if you check out these (extremely NSFW... or life) shots from Lurid Digs, a site which collects pics used for online dating and critiques the interior design (seen on Ephemerist, linked from Lady Bunny's blog), the interiors where these men are standing? Not sexy. Let's focus on the gentleman at left:

It's clear that he has sex on his mind. But when he's NOT thinking about getting laid, it seems that he enjoys stuffed animals. Elephants, especially. Plus, he's got quite a few tiny elephants in that charming wooden hutch behind him. I refuse to acknowledge the hideous bedspread. But honestly, people: Would you want to have sex in this room?


Here's another gentleman from Lurid Digs. The Candles are a romantic touch. Everything else screams "Marriot Courtyard." Which could be sexy, but in this case, simply isn't.

I'm not a total diva: I don't need satin sheets or 300 thread count (though it would be nice.) But I once dated a guy who was really into Planet Of The Apes. Do you know how hard it is to feel turned on when Cornelius is staring at you?

Anyway, these images got me thinking: What was the most hideous bedroom you've ever been in? Have you ever been in a guy's bedroom that was so awfully decorated that you could not have sex there? Have you experienced décor-as-prophylactic??? Spill, please!

<![CDATA[ Good news for the unattractive and the marriage-phobic:...]]> Good news for the unattractive and the marriage-phobic: a new relationship survey from Zogby International and AOL shows that the majority of respondents would date someone their friends thought was ugly, while 50% of those surveyed from ages 20-29 think marriage isn't necessary to prove love. Though most of those polled said they would be "willing to date someone with different political or religious beliefs, a different race or a person with a physical disability," there are still some deal breakers, like bad hygiene or a STD. The biggest deal breaker of all? Infidelity. AOL Personals director Keith Brengle told Reuters: "Trust is still extremely important for the 20-somethings — they wouldn't work through any infidelities, they'd walk away." [Reuters]
