Mommy, Where Do MILFs Come From?

New York Magazine sex advice power duo Em & Lo take a long, soft and tender look at the MILF phenomenon, which shows no signs of slowing down eight years after "American Pie" put the term on the lips of horny frat boys everywhere (but over a decade after its first recorded use on the interweb—who knew?): "The MILF is Stacy's Mom. She's the lady in the Strippercize class. She dresses like a Jersey mob wife, her eye tilted into a perpetual wink. Is she our future?" Unless you've never stopped for a moment youself to consider the fact that childbearing women over 30 can indeed be considered sex objects there isn't much else by way of insight you probably didn't know already, but there's a certain charm in the way they see the term as a type of empowerment: "There's something disarming about an archetype that lets the ladies take back the negligee, an image that suggests that motherhood is more than the death of desirability and the birth of bad haircuts ... (T)he MILF might just represent a less uptight version of maternity, in which it's no longer considered selfish or unreasonable to protect that part of your identity that has nothing to do with scraped knees and runny noses." And they deserve props for helping spread the word about GILFs, too—something that we've been trying to tell the world is going to be the Next Big Thing for years now. Just you wait.
