Big Girls Don't Cry...

...and when they do, men don't like it!


Okay, so we know men cannot deal with our feelings. But is their insensitivity just caused by their annoyance in women's emotions? Not according to an Israeli.

The study shows that women's tears cause men's testosterone levels to lower. It's a chemical thing, and not something men can actually control.

The study is a bit weird, as tears are odorless. However, the results show that the smell of the tears makes men less sexually attracted to women.

Maybe we shouldn't deem this completely true until more tests are done. Until then, ladies, don't just claim your men are being jerks and don't care about you feel. Try not to cry and see if there's a change! :)

Sex After 60? Is it possible?

This article has tips to make sex possible when you're older. It kind of scares me a bit, that sex may not be possible.

However, remember there are options other than intercourse.

Here you go:

One of the tips is to get in the mood with kissing and caressing and all that jazz. I have to say this is rather cute, and something you don't find in friends with benefits relationships all the time.

Sex is good, but I would like everyone to take from the article the idea of being more intimate.

One Night Stand Series: Part 1

Location, location, location:

I gave you tips to survive a friends with benefits series.

Now here's how to smoothly succeed in a one night stand...

One night stands are definitely less complicated but there's the potential for more danger (in my opinion). It all depends on how the one night stand relationship was formed.

Where to Find your One Night 1/2
While you should be careful in some locations, these have the potential to work out for you in a one-night stand ring.

Bars Typical place, but it works.
Clubs
Weddings You probably have mutual friends, or you might not. However, this person is more than likely not a psychopath and also he/she most likely will not be cheating if they came alone.
Parties
Planned Event I didn't know how to categorize this, but basically this can include sporting events, plays, musicals, shows, concerts, something where your adrenaline might be high but communication will not be as much as a dinner or something.


When to say NO

Drunk as a skunk The potential 1/2 is TOO intoxicated and well UNaware of her/his surroundings. It's definitely not a good idea to pick this person. Even if it's just a one night stand, there's no need to take advantage of someone. And besides, do you really want to rub his head or hold her hair back as she vomits in the toilet...not a turn on!

Quick to Commit It's good if you both are in agreement that this is just a one night stand. The risks are definitely lower than friends with benefits of falling hard for someone. However, if you're chatting the other up, and he/she starts talking about "the future" or "seeing you again," then this is not just a one night stand to them. Rethink what you want, or get out!

Anyone you see Frequently This includes bosses, co-workers, your best friend, your best friend's brother/sister. Yeah, I know you were considering them! This is more of the friends with benefits realm, and actually more of the complicating a fwb relationship. This may create tension, become awkward, or if the one night stand is a disaster night, there could be worse repurcussions: ended friendships, ruined working relationships.. anything.. It's just too risky.

Let's talk about pornography...

Okay, so I will only slightly digress from the topic of sex..

In my Criminology class, my group was given the topic of porn. We were to argue if pornography (not child pornography) should remain legal or be illegal.

My group consisted of three guys, either football players, frat boys, or both.. What side do you think they took? :)

I took the same side, saying porn should be legal. That's the way I always felt. Through a lot of research, I'm proud to say I could back up my stance with some evidence.

So, why is porn good?

Myth #1: Watching porn causes men to be violent towards women.
There is no proof that this is true. To say it fancy, correlational data does not result in causation. To say it like a normal person, studies that show men have been violent cannot determine porn is the cause or the only cause of the violence.


Myth #2: Porn will ruin your sex life and/or relationship.
In terms of porn addiction, this could happen. However, if partners are open to watching pornography, it can actually help.. Why? See below.

1. Porn helps women feel comfortable about sexuality
2. Pornography can teach women/men about sex
3. It can help people avoid promiscuity when people are not in a relationship
4. For those who are into more risky types of sex, this could be an outlet for watching without doing.

There were other reasons we found, along with studies and figures. But you get the drift.

When used responsibly, porn can be a good thing. :)

Is cheating genetic?
WebMD sought the answer and...

InterCourses..mmm..

So, are aphrodisiacs real? An aphrodisiac is a food that increases your sexual desire, fyi.

I found a Top 10 List of AlterNet, and a list on Cosmopolitan.
Seems like aphrodisiacs are generally healthy.. So whether this is a cut down on McDonalds kind of ploy or an actual effective way to increase sexual desire, it seems like either result would be positive.

Test them out for yourself. :)

Alternet:

10. Asparagus: ..yuck! I am personally not a fan, but it contain nutrients to help boost histamine (which is necessary to reach orgasm in both sexes)
9. Almonds: just the smell of almonds alone is supposed to arouse females.
8. Avocado: the Aztecs called this fruit the "testicle tree"
7. Bananas: It's not just the shape, but the vitamins that put it on the list!
6. Basil: Next time you're cooking, sprinkle a pinch on that pasta! It's not only stimulating, but healthy!
5. Chocolate: Duh! It helps PMS, is a neccessary addition to your Easter Basket. It seems like chocolate is good ALL THE TIME!
4. Figs: So bring me that figgy pudding! They go wayyyy back in history. This was Cleo's favorite fruit, if you're interested :)
3. Garlic: Repels Vampires and makes people want to have sex.. Huh? This doesn't seem to make sense as you should avoid garlic for fear of bad breath! Garlic does increase blood flow, so make sure you have some mints and mouthwash on hand!
2. Oysters: Why? To put it simply, the zinc content helps produce sperm and increases libido.
1. Honey: Now we know Winnie the Pooh's secret. Good for both men and women!

Radio sex... what?

So we've heard of phone sex, but radio sex?

Dennis Rodman called up a radio station and during his 7 minute interview, he was.. well.. really close to a woman named Teresa.

This made me laugh. I can only imagine what the radio hosts thought.

Happpy thanksgiving!

Today is a holiday for love of family, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives... so show your partners some love! :)
