Did you ever notice that while men can pretty much tell what a woman’s body looks like under the clothes she wears, we have little clue as to what’s waiting for us underneath the jeans, Dockers or designer suit?

Trick or treat?

Unless the guy is wearing a Speedo, it’s pretty hard (excuse the pun) to tell what’s waiting for us. It’s a big (or small) mystery. I don’t think that’s right! Sometimes, you really want to know. So unless you’re dancing close and it’s popping at the seams, you may be in for the shock of your life or, possibly, a disappointing moment.

Yes, it sounds very shallow. But let’s face it; even if sex isn’t everything, it’s something!

Once ‘the surprise’ has been uncovered, there’s usually no going back. And there’s nothing more disappointing than a pinky-size wand and nothing more scary (but in a good way) than a baseball bat.

One of my favorite scenes in a movie was in "Spinal Tap." The bass player had a huge bulge in his tight pants – typical rocker-type. But when he went through airport security, the metal detecting wand starting buzzing wildly at his crotch. He had to unzip his pants and out came a tin-foil wrapped cucumber!

Not that women can’t fool a crowd – water-filled bra inserts, silicone implants, socks, tissues!

It’s just that society has made it acceptable for women to strut their stuff (“if you’ve got it, flaunt it”), but not men. While you might think that gives women the unfair advantage, I think it does the opposite. It gives men a certain power, if you will. They “know”; we don’t! After all, knowledge is power, which affects other areas of our lives besides sex.

So this Halloween, think about a buying yourself a treat… one where you can decide the size and shape! Knowledge is power!
