Stopping Sexual Violence

As great and wonderful as a healthy and vibrant sex life is, it's important never to forget that sexual violence against women is an ongoing and serious issue. So much so, that some women can never enjoy the gifts that life has given us without fear. Thankfully, there are people who are working to change things.

The National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence (NCDSV) designs, provides, and customizes training and consultation, influences policy, promotes collaboration and enhances diversity with the goal of ending domestic and sexual violence. National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence

Strange Sex Laws

A law in Fairbanks, Alaska does not allow moose to have sex on city streets.

In Kingsville, Texas there is a law against two pigs having sex on the city's airport property.

Women can sell items and be topless in Liverpool, England—but only in tropical fish stores.

In Romboch, Virginia, it is illegal to engage in sexual activity with the lights on.

In the state of Utah, sex with an animal—unless performed for profit—is not considered sodomy and therefore is legal.

Anywhere in the U.S., it's illegal to use any live endangered species (except for insects) in public or private sexual displays, shows or exhibits depicting cross-species sex.

In the quiet town of Connorsville, Wisconsin, it's illegal for a man to shoot off a gun when his female partner has an orgasm.

MASTURBATE-A-THON 2006

HISTORY OF THE MASTURBATE-A-THON

It all began in America. At the end of 1994 the Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders was made to resign after saying that she thought it would be beneficial to teach children about masturbation as part of sex education and that it should be more openly discussed.

"I think that it is something that is part of human sexuality and it's part of something that perhaps should be taught. But we've not even taught our children the very basics. And I feel that we have tried ignorance for a very long time and it’s time we try education".

And for this she was fired from the government? And yet lying, corruption and war-mongering are perfectly OK these days, if not a job requirement.

THE POWER OF A SMILE

Psychology and body language experts agree that one of the most important things you can do to make yourself more attractive (and approachable) is to smile. Not a great big plastic game-show smile, just your normal 'I'm having a great time and I'm happy to be here' face will do the trick. According to experts, 'the smile is the international signal of friendliness.'

Queen of the Blues

Dinah Washington was the finest jazz and blues singer of her generation, who died tragically from an overdose of diet pills at age 39 in 1963. A woman who knew exactly what she wanted and knew how to get it, in her short life she managed to marry seven times!! and entertained several lovers including a young Quincy Jones. Considered too earthy for mainstream white audiences in the 50's and 60's there are few examples of her talent recorded on film, which is a crying shame. Enjoy this one. And dig that crazy dress!!

BDSM Scenarios: Ideas to Spark Your Sex Life

And from the darker side...

Everything from toys to techchniques to scenarios, there's bound to be something to please the kink lover here. Consider this example:

Make a zip strip: If you really feel adventurous, take about six wooden clothespins and drill a small hole in one handle of each one, near the end. Then, tie the clothespins along a piece of twine, leaving about four inches or so between clothespins.

The result, called a "zipper" or "zip strip," is a series of clothespins that can be clamped in a row along your partner's body--for example, on your partner's belly, up along your partner's body, over your partner's breast, and on your partner's nipple.

Once the clothespins are in place, it's just a matter of finding exactly the right time to tug sharply on the twine, pulling the row of clothespins free, one after the other...

Sex's new rock-star status

What is the 21st-century Pornopolis?

It's 'My Bare Lady,' a Fox reality television show that will send female porn stars to London this year, where they will 'act' in theater.

It's the 'Next American Sex Star,' an 'Apprentice'-like production on the Playboy Channel, in which striving starlets vie to be part of Jenna Jameson's stable of entertainers.

It's nude celebrities brooding on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine in February.

It's publishing houses like Harlequin and HarperCollins starting lines of even steamier romance novels.

It's even the word 'porn,' which now is used to describe a variety of relationships consumers have with compelling things. The Canadian province of Quebec, for instance, promoted itself with the tag 'Food Porn' in a recent advertising campaign.

Why Men Report More Sex Partners than Women

LiveScience.com - Most surveys about sex find impossibly that men have had far more partners than women, typically two to four times as many.

Either there are a bunch of phantom females out there, or somebody is lying.

Or perhaps people just have lousy memories about these things.

Psychologist Norman R. Brown at the University of Michigan has done several studies on the apparent flaw in these surveys. The latest was a web-based survey of 2,065 heterosexual non-virgins with a median age in their late 40s.

The women reported on average 8.6 lifetime sexual partners. The men claimed 31.9.

Rather than let it go at that, Brown and his colleagues later in the survey asked the participants to rate the truthfulness of their response. About 5 percent—both men and women—said they lied. In addition, more than 10 percent said they knew their answer wasn't accurate.

"They gave an answer and then two minutes later admitted they had lied about the answer," Brown said.

But there's more to the discrepancy. Men and women use different methods to calculate their past dalliances.

Women rely on a raw count, a method Brown says is known to result in underestimation.

"They tend to say, 'I just know,' and if you ask them to explain how they know, they say, 'Well, there was John, Tom, etc.'"

Men also rely on a flawed strategy.

"Men are twice as likely to use rough approximation to answer the question," Brown said. "And rough approximation is a strategy known to produce over-estimation."

Then again, maybe Brown's study is flawed, too.

His next survey will be done by telephone, to find out if people lie and fudge as much in that medium, or if the Web-based surveys invite such behavior. The self-proclaimed liars "could be liars who lie about lying," he said.

Real Sex, Virtual Worlds

Online sex has always been about real connection in a virtual environment, despite unflattering stereotypes about who has cybersex and why.
But it seems to me that bringing sex out of chat rooms and into animated platforms is also lifting some of the shame and secrecy that has historically shrouded cybersex. Read more on Wired News

A 4th of July fantasy from Alec Baldwin

I offer a patriotic fantasy for all of my fellow Americans today, on this 4th of July. It's a fantasy, so bear with me. I am in a large apartment complex. I turn a corner, and there are a couple of Muslim men wearing headsets, whispering tersely into the microphone. Suddenly, one man erupts and says, 'Where is the car? Where is the car? You fool!' They sprint off down the hall. At that instant, Osama Bin Laden comes out of a door. He is oblivious. I make my move. Bin Laden reacts, but too late. We tumble into his upper floor suite. I have him in my grasp and, conveniently, I spy a box cutter on the table. (Hey...it's a fantasy.) Osama struggles, swearing at me in his native tongue, until I jam the box cutter into his neck. I do it again. Fading, Bin Laden says (this time in English for my benefit) 'Good luck with '30 Rock'. I am a big Tina Fey fan.'

I gather up the body of the world's most notorious terrorist and hurl it over the balcony. Then, in the final stroke of luck, Bin Laden lands on Dick Cheney.

God bless America.

Keep Your Goddamn Anal Beads Out of the Dishwasher!

From the Best of Craigslist:

Dave,

We've been roommates for what? A year and a half now? Three guys living together, we've learned to deal with each other's idiosyncrasies. We let a lot of shit slide. But you need to keep your anal beads out of the dishwaher. If your too damn lazy to wash them by hand, then you and your girlfriend are going to have to 'do without'. I don't want to see them. Nor do I want you to regale us with the story of how your girlfriend shoved them up your ass the other night. This is just common roommate courtesy. Thank you.

Your roommate.
