Craig's Not So Personal Anymore

Craig's Not So Personal Anymore

If you're trying to cruise Craigslist for a date this weekend, you probably should rethink your strategy and get in some practice in trying to pick up from the local bar. You see it seems that Craigslist has made it harder to do one thing popular on the internet. Whore yourself out.

I was in need of someone's used sofa and I noticed that there was a weird censor bar on one of the options. It seems that there's a censored bar covering up the erotic services section. You know, it's the area where upstanding young (really really old) women would offer their... um, services, and a grainy picture to handsome (loser) males on the internet.



I also couldn't help but notice that the Adult gigs section was gone as well. But that was deleted without any strange censor bar attracting attention to it like the erotic services section. And no, I'm not looking for prostitutes on craigslist but I do have to wonder if this just means that all the traffic will just move over to "Casual Encounters".

It's not even click able anymore. Which if it was, it seems like it would get more business as it makes it that much more visible. But it looks like the whole section was just deleted. Not to mention there's this Wired article for it. I always saw the adult services section as a means to just get arrested quickly.

So I guess they planned on getting rid of them sometime last year and just started to roll out the idea now. Maybe it's because of people like me. I've never gotten or thought of buying myself a hooker.

I guess it's lucky that you can still drive around the neighborhood and find a decent whore. Sure you may have to drive a bit away from home, like where you buy your coke, but at least you can pick from a crowd on which flavor you're into at the moment.



They made a fool out of Craig on CNN a few weeks back about all this. Someone should probably teach him a bit on how to deal with reporters. Here it is. You could skip to the 3 minute mark for him getting terribly embarrassed

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbL9XVUfcp8

Wow, Craig is not nearly as cool as I thought for someone who created such a (sometimes) useful website. But seriously, the video is so ridiculous. You can tell throughout the whole video that the reporter thinks this is going to be her big break. That constant smug smile she has just makes me hate her instantly.

To be honest, I don't think he deserves the heat he gets. Women put their ads on craigslist, how are they victims? Maybe of Capitalism, but aren't we all? There's prostitutes on the side of the street, too. But you don't go up to the chief of police saying "There is women selling themselves on the street, how do you protect these victims?!" So what am I missing here?



The entire craigslist corporation is about 20 people total. They really don't have anything like the manpower they'd need to screen every ad everywhere. Back when it was just in San Francisco there was no erotic section or anything. All of the prostitute ads were just mixed in with everything else. Making a separate section just for all that riffraff improved it because it got it out of the personals.

I guess the only thing that's really fucked up is that the dude plays it off like they're even trying to make an effort in filtering it. I could probably find 10 whores a day to fuck on Craigslist if I wanted, they're not screening anything. Just say that they're not responsible for that, because they really aren't.

The news reporter claims that craigslist is "The wal-mart of online sex trafficking", which I think is fairly accurate, right down to the quality of goods for sale. But then the reporter repeats it to the CEO, she changes it to "Child sex trafficking." No matter if it's a slip up or a deliberate change, it's really fucking shitty journalism that is meant to get some kind of reaction out of the guy and toss this into the "Think about the children!" field.



Anyone trying to sell their kids for sex on Craigslist are going to get arrested really fast. It seems silly to suggest that sort of stuff just goes on without the police easily able to look it up on their computers for a quick arrest.

The real reason why she played the child sex slave card was because women advertising themselves to thousands of ugly losers in an effort to make a quick buck just isn't that bad. Sure, there are still all the nasty side effects of prostitution, but it's not like Craig is pimping them out himself.

Besides that, CNN is hardly a disinterested party here. By killing the printed classified ad, craigslist is probably the single most responsible entity for the decline in print media other than print media itself. I'm sure CNN is full of journalist who were directly affected by this and would jump at any chance to run stories where craigslist is associated with scandal.


leg boobs. Ha!

I first heard about this on NPR last week. The claim was that the lawyers wanted to stop the abusive behavior that lead women into prostitution, so they went after one subsection of Craigslist lead by the director of Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, Norma Ramos. Norma was on Forum, an NPR show and the CEO of Craigslist, Jim Buckmaster was also on it

On the show Norma just kept repeating that they want Jim to take that portion of Craigslist down. Several listeners pointed out that Norma wasn't attacking the right thing to achieve her goals but she didn't respond to any of that. Instead she just kept repeating her mantra "Jim, take it down. Take down that site, Jim. Jim. Take it down Jim. You know better than that, Jim." It was pretty annoying and it was apparent that Norma was devoid of thought and came to the program with one talking point and would not say anything else.

Norma, master of logic:


A couple of days later, a listener named Rick from SF wrote in and said this;

Craigslist is probably San Francisco's leading venue for the resale of stolen bicycles. Should we shut down the "For Sale/Bicycles" section of craigslist because it's facilitating the sale of stolen property?

I thought that was a pretty good example pointing out Norma's faulty logic. She never once addressed this, even though the host brought it up several times. Add in that Craigslist started charging $10 per ad in the adults services section to get a credit card number and help in tracking info which could be used to find people if the law was concerned.

They took the money gained that way and donated it. Then a bunch of people bitched at Craigslist for "making a profit" from adult services section off their website. It really seems like Norma Ramos and 17 lawyers are simply trying to make names for themselves by attacking a popular website instead of effectively fighting for the cause which they claim to care about.

But hey, that would be an uphill battle and they already have an easy target in the CEO anyway... right?

People Who Have More Sex Than You

People Who Have More Sex Than You

For the next 30 days this couple will have more sex than you

THE 30-DAY SEX CHALLENGE.
Have sex with your partner every day for consecutive 30 days.

COUPLE:
Shawn Scott, age 32, is a partner in a computer firm.
Lauren Scott, age 29, owns her own company throwing celebrity charity events.
Lauren also stays at home with their 2 and half year old son Ayden.
Shawn and Lauren are from Granbury, TX and have been together for 13 years and married for 8 years.

OBJECTIVE:
Spicing it up in the bedroom.
"We got offered the chance to do the 30 days and thought why not how fun!!! We are excited about the adventure and making it fun all the way around! It will be interesting how it turns out as far as keeping it out of just a routine and making it exciting and fun! We also understand how the rut of everyday life takes a toll on your sex life and this way we are committing to focus on bringing it back in!! Should be an interesting 30 days..." says Lauren.

It is an exciting offer to get from a TV News program, the chance to have sex with your wife, everyday, for 30 days. I mean, how do you keep the spice in your sex life after you were boning for all those years and after 13 whole years. Thankfully the have decided to share this exciting journey in their sex life with all of us.

Day 1 posted:

DAY 1: So after a long day of shawn at the office me here with ayden and finishing proposals we are excited to get our first of 30 days going. Isnt it funny how you get into your routine of life and dont even focus on your bedroom. Well no more all day long I have been reminded by either people on facebook, friends and family that today is the beginning of our journey!!! So Dishes done, baby down, lets start this off with a bang!!! Literally wish us luck!!

First off.. DON'T FUCKING USE LITERALLY WRONG, YOU WORTHLESS BITCH! As you can see all the dishes are done and all of their friends and family are very excited they they will be engaging in intercourse tonight. The important thing is to remain accountable to your friends and family that you are having sex every night for 30 days, daily reminders will help.

Day 2 posted:

DAY 2: Well everything's on the up and up ....literally!!!! Great day and still on track! 2 days down 28 days to go!!! Just about everyone knows about this little experiment now! We seem to get two different responses from people...at first it is, "That's awesome...more couples should do it!" Or we get, "Are you crazy? I cant believe your doing that for TV!!" Well, we are and I must say...it's fun!!

Can you believe it, the two of them have had sex twice! In two days! Can they keep this up? Who knows! But it should be an exciting 30 days for all of us. Am I the only one who lost his boner the moment she abuses the hell out of the word literally and misuses it.

Just think of this whole idea. Once a day for thirty days... How whacky! Maybe this was just one of their ways to trick the other person into period sex. Most of all, does anal sex still count as sex for this challenge?



I mean, is it that big of a deal to have sex every day? I must be some sort of sex addict because I could really go for it twice a day. What about this is news worthy? I can't even buy that it's cause they're "middle aged" because they're 32 and 29. I just turned 30 and I think I'm more in the mood than I ever was. This guy is a complete pussy for not wanting to take his wife daily already.

Isnt it funny how you get into your routine of life and dont even focus on your bedroom.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't forcing yourself to have sex every day for 30 days as part of a "challenge" make sex become routine? There has to be nothing less sexy than being obliged to have sex. Don't get me wrong, having sex on a daily basis is not abnormal. In fact, usually younger people in relationships have sex before they go to sleep... almost every night. They should have chosen a 50+ year old couple or they should have chosen a couple that was on the brick of a bitter divorce and never had sex to see what happened there.

The couple already has sex every other day according to the news report. So it's going to be really awesome to have forced sex for the first week. You know, before it starts to get routine and like a chore to do, then when she can't get wet anymore at the thought of his cock probing her uninterested vagina, I'm sure it's just going to feel more and more like rape. My, doesn't that sound like a hoot, dude. Where do I sign up for this?



Goddamn these people are vanilla as all hell. That guy has to resort to a contest to get laid. Most of the pictures of just her are when she's in the kitchen, and when it's just him, his fat ass is on the computer. Keep living that dream, you incompatible fuckers. They really found the most mediocre, shlubby looking people they could and gave them this weird little indecent proposal. They don't even win anything except boring vanilla sex for a full month.

Then again, maybe I'm being a little too hard on them. Assuming that 2 year old is a lot of trouble to take care of and between that and a full time job, I suppose they would be amazingly tired to get sexual nightly. I feel bad for the kid. In 10 years he's going to be looking up his parents on whatever future Google search engine there is at the time and blow his brains out with a laser gun when he finds this.

"Breaking news, local man finds courage to bone his wife more than once a month, more at six."

I don't know about you, but I'd divorce someone who thought whipped cream and a french maid outfit fell under the category of "mixing it up." I don't mean to vilify vanilla sex because it's great and all, but it's not something that warrants a blog or contest on the weird, voyeuristic local news channel.

To be honest, this is a pussy challenge. How about you go 365 days of straight sex for your husband's birthday

When her husband turned 40, Charla Muller couldn't decide what to give him, so she offered him guaranteed sex every night for a whole year. Could they manage it? And what would be the effect on their marriage?

My god, it sounds like a pitch for a new sitcom on CBS this fall, right after Two and a Half Men! Tune in! It's quotes like this that get me.

"What about spontaneity? "I felt the opposite. I felt the pressure came off. He no longer thought 'Tonight is a big deal, the only night we'll have sex this month is now, it's got to be really special.'"

Jeez... Seriously, what the fuck? As if I didn't have enough worries and reason to not want to ever get married. This idea that sex can get boring just screams that you're with the wrong person. You know how you can be incompatible with another person due to personality quirks and lifestyle? Well you can be that way sexually if you two don't meet eye to eye.. or at least genitalia to genitalia. Then it's bound to lead to an unhappy situation.

Regardless of how busy your life is, a sex less relationship is not one anyone should be in. Hell, just look at Cosmo's Sex Position of the Day guide as it has many illustrated positions for the less creative fools out there. But by no means call this some sort of ground breaking marriage challenge.

If I'm ever in the situation where I'm going to the Madonna Hotel or role playing for anything more than something it gets me off and actually trying to use it as a method to recharge my relationship's sex life.. Shoot me. Please, just shoot me. Especially in the face with a 12 gauge shot gun if it's being blogged about so the world can see how "kinky" I am with my partner as we try on something bought at *gasp* victoria's secret.

Marking My Turf

Marking Your Turf

Let's face the facts.. if you're in a relationship chances are half of your concern is losing that relationship. So there's little ways that one tries to mark their territory. I can't say this is the most healthiest of things to do when you think about it, but some people just can't help but do it without realizing it. Take for example these Cafe Press gift ideas for the recently past Valentine's day;



It's sort of silly. I mean. Do you really not trust you significant other enough to not cheat on you that you have to do this childish branding. Yesssss! You're all mine now, Bitch! I OWN YOUR ASS! Nothing like

Just think about it, who is exactly going to look at your boyfriend/girlfriend's underwear that this will actually be put to use. You would hope that this isn't going to actually work in preventing your significant other from cheating. You know, like they're right there finally going to seal the deal in nailing someone else and then the pants/skirts come down and BAM! Right there it's in the other person's face that your BF/GF is the property of yours. Looks like someone got caught. Should have worn a different pair of underwear.



You go Kateland! You show them who's your man! I just don't get this idea of putting your name or marking your turf on your significant others underwear. Again, who is going to see it to begin with? Their doctor? Other than you, it's going to be hidden under clothing from the rest of the world anyway.

Then again, maybe they were going for the BDSM angle. I know, pink with hearts isn't very BDSM.. unless there's some weird pink-with-hearts-BDSM fetish I'm not aware of.... Oh wait.



I guess any fetish you are capable of conceiving to a degree sufficient to formulate expression of has already been thought up and has an enthusiastic community of participants. This includes that pink BDSM fetish, I'm sure of it. It's all part of Rule 34.

What's Rule 34? It's very simple. If you can think of it, there's a porn of it out there. No matter what it is, there's some one out there jerking off to it. No matter how deranged or how cute or how asexual it may be, there's some sort of porn of it out there floating and someone is getting off on it.

But anyway, I'm deviating here on the main topic of marking your turf. There's people out there that are so insecure that they don't want their partner to masturbate because it may be considered cheating in some really stupid sort of mind set. I don't know how they justify it. I mean, unless your partner puts out every time you have that urge, you should more than anything have the right to take care of yourself in whatever means you need.

So what is the answer to that sticky situation? Well, I recently came across this online kit they sell that you can use to make your girlfriend a vibrator shaped exactly like your dick. I'm not fucking with you (I didn't mean that pun). You put your dick in a mold and it makes a perfect replica of your own wang.



I suppose if you back up your computer software, it's only nature to back up your other hardware... Then again, I'm sure this is very practical for trannies. I mean, if you were going to become a tranny and you used this tool to make a vibrator shaped like your own dick then you can go in for the snip snip and then for the rest of your life you can at least have a back up copy of your cock if you ever need it.. or if you want to fuck yourself with it. Which is totally strange and well, too much god damn information.

If anything, it'll at least make a great mold for that trophy you want to give out to your partner when they do a really good job in bed. "Here honey, you get the Gold Wang for your work on my knob the other night. I'm sure if it was a hitch you would have taken the chrome off it."



But again, this just is another example of marking your turf. You feel the need to make a plastic mold copy of your cock so that your partner can masturbate with just seems silly. It's like saying that you may not be up for the task if you're call from the bull pen. "No can do honey, I got a headache tonight. Why don't you go to the dresser draw and get my replacement." It's like you feel they're cheating on you if they use that jack rabbit vibrating purple dildo.

Face the facts, you're not doing the job for some reason and that should be grounds for them to take care of themselves. Have it be with a dildo that isn't shaped like your cock or with you looking at this month's Maxim magazine. Same difference.



The best self-love gone wrong story I have ever came across from was one that seemed like a horror story (well duh, right?) It was about how a teenage girl attempted to fist herself and got said fist stuck up her vagina while she was at her grandmother's house and had to get her grandmother's assistance. Now the story would have been legendary at that point in itself, but it got worse.

Grandma couldn't get the girls fist out of there and so grandma had to wrap the poor girl in a blanket and take her to the emergency room where the doctor was able to lube her up enough to get the hand out. It really does sound like a terrible Winnie the pooh cartoon. The lesson is pretty clear - Never start masturbating without an exit strategy, it's just common sense.

Don't believe me about that story? You can find it as well as other horror stories AT THIS LINK. Believe it or not, the internet is just proof that a lot of strange shit happens. Again, Rule 34.



Which brings us to the next field of marking your turf.. Not being able to be told no. See, I never really got the appeal of a ball gag. Mainly because I actually enjoy feedback during.. well, you know. Being vocal isn't a bad thing when it comes to being in the moment so I'm a little surprised that people really go for ball gags.

But if you're into that sort of bedroom play, you too can get your lover a personalized ball gag. I mean, think about it, you really don't want to have a shared sex toy. Yes, that's a big no-no. You never buy used items that are going to be used in the bed room. So any how, back to the ball gag. Yup, if you feel like you need to mark your turf and personalize a ball gag, you can get one with such a cute little image on it from this place.


Ha ha.. I just got you fired! Way to go in reading this at work..

How could you turn down such a product? Let's look at the description again;

Isn't this just the cutest gag you've seen? I think so and that's why I already have several of my own (I just couldn't decide on a color! *g*) In fact, this stuffed ballgag is so cute, I've decided to give it my own tag line - Gag Kisses! This gag is soft and flexible and very effective too. For biters, you can really bite down on this without hurting your jaw or the gag! For those with small mouths or jaw problems, the small is smaller than rubber ballgags, finally allowing you that great ballgag mouth stuffing look and feel. Small is just 1 1/2" in diameter, medium is 2" in diameter and large is 2 1/2" in diameter. Remember, these are somewhat "squishy", so you'll be able to fit more than you usually can in your mouth.

Yup, that's right.. you too can not harm your jaw with a cute little personalized image ball gag for your significant other..



Getting back to that whole "do not buy used bedroom things" I suppose the fine folks in Japan don't know this rule.. But on a side note, they do know good and plenty about that Rule 34.. You see, the fine folks in Japan have been known to buy used panties in vending machines. I know what you're thinking, is that actually true? It is.

You see girlish youth and innocence is considered sexy in Japan. It's a culture with a long history of regarding women more as sex toys than as people. This sexual kick of untouched adolescence results in even the women who are in their 30's clutching onto childish mannerisms as well as toys and gadgets that one would put on their cell phone if they were some teenager.



How does this get back to the subject of marking one's turf? Well, how could it not. It's very simple. The idea of buying these panties is to try to capture someone's innocence. Act as Christopher Columbus in discovering the new continent. When all he wanted to do was spice it up. Then again, Americans seem to value that innocence as well as you see many frat and college age guys bragging about taking someone's virginity. I never got that appeal. As if one should be praised for having bad sex.

So all these different methods in potentially marking your turf. Seems a little silly. Instead maybe one should focus on just having a good time without all the branding... which would be the ultimate in.. um... marking your turf. Just enjoy what you have while you have it. You never know when it could be gone. Like they say, here today, gone tomorrow. Then all you'll be left with is underwear that indicates you're still the property of your ex.

Condoms - Goldilocks Syndrome

Condoms - Goldilocks Syndrome

Well, let's face it. We're approaching Valentine's Day and that means that people will have an excuse to have sex. Yes, that's right, even the most undesired can get laid that night if they simply go to the bars and seek out a partner in all those other people who went out on this night in search for love.. or at least the fleeting feeling that you are loved by someone who got a couple of Jack and cokes in you..

So what does this have to do with Goldilocks and the three bears? Well, no. This isn't about big hairy gay guys. More to the point of Goldilocks not finding the right size that she needed and being all anal about getting it just right. And what the hell does that have to do with condoms? Well, you see, condoms come in all shapes and sizes. Take this (discovered fake) Durex ad boasting about size....



Ah, it just makes you wonder about the shitty nature of our societies view point on penis sizes and the need to buy something more for the idea of protraying yourself as something you are not nor probably need. You see, Speaking on behalf of guys wth enormous dicks everywhere, I'd just like to say that that's inconsiderate.

That ad is advocating violence against prostitutes because seriously, who the fuck wears condoms during blowjobs? We already wrap our junk in a layer for sex, do you now want to take away the fun that the feeling of lips on a penis feel by putting a sheet of rubber between you and it? Pfft, I think not! That was how I took the ad at first, like the band-aids were covering up warts or something. But I think it's implying that the dick is so big that it actually injured her mouth because it was SO BIG and those are the people that need enormous condoms.



It really is a completely useless product, too. Normal condoms are more than elastic enough to handle porn stars-- the normal consumers of "magnum" condoms are insecure teenagers (or their mental equivalents) who want to look cool buying the "big stuff". All they really do is slip off and cause more pregnancies in most cases. At best they're just a little wider at the top. That's it. They play directly into the insecure minds of every tiny penored young adult.

I remember in college when I would hear stories about how folks in the health/resource office would have guys who would pass up free condoms all the time because they were "too small" for them. Apparently I attended the University of Gigantic cocks in Girth town, USA. Man, I really do miss the days of free condoms... much less the occasion to actually use them. But man, do I miss getting those condoms and thinking I was going to fuck like a rabbit. It would be like giving a guy the bullets but no gun or target....


Something's wrong in this picture.. Can you tell what it is?

Oddly enough, in college a lot of people refused to use the free condoms handed out by planned parenthood because the churches spread the rumor around that they'd poked small, invisible holes in them so people would get pregnant anyway and would somehow have no choice but to have an abortion. I'm not sure which is the more retarded reason to pass on free condoms: "Mah dikz be too big" or "invisible holes will get you knocked up, yo". Either way, dumb ass shit.

On the other end of the specturm... India and Condoms have not had the best of relationships. If you didn't know, three years ago it was reported that condoms were too big for Indian men...

Condoms 'too big' for Indian men
December 8th 2006
By Damian Grammaticus
BBC News, Delhi

Condom factory
There is a "lack of awareness" over condom sizes
A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.

The study found that more than half of the men measured had penises that were shorter than international standards for condoms.

It has led to a call for condoms of mixed sizes to be made more widely available in India.

The two-year study was carried out by the Indian Council of Medical Research.

Over 1,200 volunteers from the length and breadth of the country had their penises measured precisely, down to the last millimetre.

The scientists even checked their sample was representative of India as a whole in terms of class, religion and urban and rural dwellers.

The conclusion of all this scientific endeavour is that about 60% of Indian men have penises which are between three and five centimetres shorter than international standards used in condom manufacture.

Doctor Chander Puri, a specialist in reproductive health at the Indian Council of Medical Research, told the BBC there was an obvious need in India for custom-made condoms, as most of those currently on sale are too large.

The issue is serious because about one in every five times a condom is used in India it either falls off or tears, an extremely high failure rate.

And the country already has the highest number of HIV infections of any nation.

'Not a problem'

Mr Puri said that since Indians would be embarrassed about going to a chemist to ask for smaller condoms there should be vending machines dispensing different sizes all around the country.

"Smaller condoms are on sale in India. But there is a lack of awareness that different sizes are available. There is anxiety talking about the issue. And normally one feels shy to go to a chemist's shop and ask for a smaller size condom."

But Indian men need not be concerned about measuring up internationally according to Sunil Mehra, the former editor of the Indian version of the men's magazine Maxim.

"It's not size, it's what you do with it that matters," he said.

"From our population, the evidence is Indians are doing pretty well.

"With apologies to the poet Alexander Pope, you could say, for inches and centimetres, let fools contend."

You sort of have to chuckle about this. The BBC literally wrote a 400 word article about Indian men having small penises. Three years later... this news story came out..

600 of city’s condom machines vandalized
December 21st 2009
Ruhi Bhasin & Risha Chitlangia

NEW DELHI: About 600 of the 3,000 Condom Vending Machines (CVM) that were installed by the National AIDS Control Organisation (Naco) in different locations around the city are not working, as they have either been vandalized or removed. Moreover, few people use these machines.

The idea behind these CVMs is to make condoms easily available to the public. "We in India are yet to accept the concept of condom vending machines. In Delhi, on average, each vending machine dispenses only one packet of condoms a day. Right now, our aim is to make people aware of safe sex practices and to encourage them to use condoms. For this, easy access to condoms is essential," said Gaurav Jain, project leader (technical support) of condom promotion, Naco.

Then again, Indians are more uptight about sex than Americans. It's quite an accomplishment if you really think about it. The Indians I met in college were some of the most prudish people I have ever met in my life. So India is still trying to push the condoms to the masses with witty commercials such as these;



Ah, the things that Kumar has been doing since he was written off the show on House.. What won't you do and where's Harold and Kumar go to White Castle III? I want to see Neil Patrick Haris get drunk again!

And then there's this musical number which really puts into question what I'm missing out with working on films in the United States when I should seriously be getting into the Bollywood scene.



Maybe it's just because they have a hedonistic-primitive culture that encourages shameless promiscuity. Perhaps it's time to outsource penis enlargement spam... Though, worse of all is that Indian commercial acting is even further behind us than condom use.

If they want to encourage condom use, perhaps they should make smaller curry scented condoms. It wont hurt if their women trimmed their bushes and showered once in a while. I know they're catching up with us on the Film making front, how about you follow suit with the grooming tips down under.



So with all this confusion, how can you really know what size of condoms you really need anyway? On the box it's always bullshit like LARGE, EXTRA LARGE and MAGNUM or whatever. It's not like Condoms want to advertise that they're for NORMAL size penises because when you're in the check out you want to make sure you're showing off that the old lady or college drop out scanning your products will judge you and never want to have sex with you if you have a "Size normal" condom package. If you get a painful constructed feeling when you put one on then you probably need to go up a size. Personally, I get the best fit out of the plastic bags from the grocery store.



Yup, India is a fascinating place. I was sorta shocked at how HIV is transmitted through mostly sexual contact in India. Since HIV/AIDS is mostly transmitted through blood based contact outside of Africa.

The overwhelming majority of infections in India occur through heterosexual sex; women now account for around 39% of adult infections. In many cases married men have acted as 'bridge populations' between vulnerable populations and general populations; women who believe they are in monogamous relationships are becoming infected because their husbands have had multiple sexual partners. Often social norms restrict women from making decisions about their sexual relations, contributing to their vulnerability to HIV. Studies have shown that intimate sexual partner violence is also a risk factor for women.

For some reason I suspect that the patriarchy is at work here. Maybe they should really get on top of that whole condom use there. Small penises and all. Though I do have some Indian friends, so perhaps I'll toss in that Indian penis sizes have doubled in the last three years. So you ladies not going for Sanjay because you fear of not being able to feel anything... well then you're silly because remember that your female hole can only really feel stuff three or four inches deep before it gets lost in the darkness.

But let's roll with the idea that the Indians are just jealous of the Chinese surpassing them in penis size (and just about everything else)

And remember Americans, the average French penis is 1.2 inches longer than the average US penis. Yup, now I'm starting to see why we hate on French so much...

Penis envy.

I'm not worried, I have Spaniard ancestry and we all know how well endowed they were to rape and pillage just about every culture. :smug:

I like to think that I'm fair and balanced but it's blogs about news pieces like this that undermine my creditability in every possible way, but you know what? Let's roll with it. I'm not going to lie, I like to pick my blog topics for a reason.

Sure, I get on a soap box every now and then and provide a voice for the much talked about and even more ignored issues like Health Care, Wars on foreign soil, Political nonsense and other random stuff. But the news pieces I like to work on the most are the random most whack news articles that pop up out of nowhere and allow people who have crazy ideas run with them.



Now this may be hard to swallow as actual news, but let's just feel it out and take it slow. You might want to sit down to take all this in, but did you know that there's actually medical evidence to support the wild idea that swallowing semen is very healthy? Yes. This sort of article pops up every six to eight months, so let's take a look at let's see this months version of it:

If you're thinking about conceiving, or certainly if you are already pregnant, there is some pretty convincing evidence that instead of just swallowing, say, folic acid, you might want to swallow something else.

Let me be delicate about this, if I can.

As far as I can tell, not only should you be having lots of oral sex with the father of your baby -- even up to a year before conceiving -- you should also make sure to ingest his seminal fluid. Listen to what I'm telling you: the international medical community is giving you an Rx for oral. Sure, they say frequent intercourse is good, too, but oral is better. So, if you care about having a healthy baby and not potentially unleashing what scientists call a "destructive attack on the foreign tissues" of your fetus, if you want to avoid immunological disorders during pregnancy, and I'm sure you do, get to work. Or to pleasure, depending on how you feel about it.

Basically, the research says you need to be able to tolerate your baby's foreign, paternal DNA; in other words, you need to get your body accustomed to the stuff, need to cozy up to some daddy double helix for a while so your body doesn't reject it.

I'm no doctor, just a pregnant lady with Google, so maybe I'm horribly confused, but here is what I found excerpted online, from the Journal of Reproductive Immunology:

"While any exposure to a partner's semen during sexual activity appears to decrease a woman's chances for the various immunological disorders that can occur during pregnancy, immunological tolerance could be most quickly established through oral introduction and gastrointestinal absorption of semen."

I could not make this up. Gastrointestinal absorption of semen. I know. For the man in your life, this news should not be hard to swallow. Sorry.

According to a group of Dutch researchers, "exposure to semen provides protection against developing preeclampsia." That's from a paper with the catchy title, "Immune Maladaptation in the Etiology of Preeclampsia: a Review of Corroborative Epidemiologic Studies." Or you could use the subtitle: "Semen is Your Friend."

I just can't figure out why the whole "blue balls" thing has gotten so much traction with men, but they never got ahold of this medical morsel.

One of my favorite pregnancy hobbies is obsessively researching dangerous pregnancy-related conditions. I know, I know, I could knit, but that would be relaxing, whereas this is more congruent with my other pastimes, which include worrying about the future and raking over the past. That's how I happened to look up preeclampsia, specifically because I interviewed actress Jane Seymour and she said she got it during one of her pregnancies, so I figured I needed a new worry charm for my shiny bracelet of maternal concerns.

First, I found this description on the Mayo Clinic's website:

"Preeclampsia is a condition of pregnancy marked by high blood pressure and excess protein in your urine after 20 weeks of pregnancy."

This merited a trip to Wikipedia, where I found all sorts of links to academic papers on the subject and, buried therein, the dryly worded but unmistakable information about oral.

After I did some digesting about ingesting, I had to stand up from my desk chair and say to no one in particular, "Really?" If I've heard about a new mother eating her own placenta in a panini, if I've scoured sights like this for every possible detail about pregnancy, how have I missed this gem? Some of the studies I read weren't all that new, but you'd think they would have made a bigger and more long-lasting splash.

Maybe penises need a new publicist.

Now, to be fair, the Dutch researchers do warn that with a new partner, condoms should be used to prevent sexually transmitted diseases: "However, a certain period of sperm exposure within a stable relation, when pregnancy is aimed for, is associated with a partial protection against preeclampsia," they insist.

As far as I can tell, there seem to be myriad causes of preeclampsia and similar conditions, and it's too complicated a medical issue for anyone, least of all me, to fully understand. Still, while some of these hypotheses have been challenged, they don't seem to have been debunked. So to conclude, I will fall back on the medical opinion I always have about things that are either Suzanne Somers-y, or reek of placebo-ness, but are obviously benign: It can't hurt, right? At the very least, your baby will have a happy, relaxed father and parents who are intimate.

And suddenly, you wonder if the phrase "going Dutch" might acquire new meaning.

I don't post this animated gif much, but I think that in this instance it is well called for.




A standing O for such a great piece of written work. That whole article was a mouth full.. (Ok, I've gotten it out of my system now [BOOOYAH! high five, anyone?])

I've heard that it's pretty common for the lady to 'close down the southern kitchen' when they're with child, and while I'd assume that's because sex starts physically becoming painful at the later trimesters, what's wrong with doing your husband a favor and swallowing your pride... and his load (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist)

But now that science has come out and taken one for the men in what seems like it is really, really good for you. It does make sense, too. Although I didn't think it would have been as black-and-white as "immunological tolerance can be quickly established through gastrointestinal absorption of semen." but even this author, who isn't a doctor; simply an interested pregnant woman who cites plenty of medical evidence as references though, so I has to be pretty valid enough.


It does make me wonder though, are all pregnant women total ice queens or was this article just ghost written, edited, and published by a long succession of desperate men. Because if not, I'm going to tstart using this doctor recommended "immunological tolerance" argument, but I think it would be best to leave out the reproductive part cause I don't care too much about that.

Then again, a woman who doesn't like to swallow when she ISN'T pregnant is hardly going to do so once she is. No amount of late night-strange craving getting you can do will change that. Best you can hope for is that you convince them that it cures breast cancer too as applied directly to the area. Of course, be prepared to to get accused of being a snake oil salesman. One can only wonder how effective is it if you introduce the semen anally?



Then again, this isn't the first or the last story to be told about this act. It seems that it's a popular request. I can say that it's one of those actions that.. yeah, let's just say all is right in the world. Besides, it's not only a great time for the receiver, the giver is also going to get some benefit out of it as this next story on the subject goes... Seman makes women Happier.

Women exposed to their partner's semen during sex may find themselves feeling happier than those who use a condom, say scientist.

Scientist in the US believe the mood-altering hormones in semen absorbed through the vagina help to boost women's mood.

Semen contains a range of hormones, including testosterone and oestrogen, both of which have been shown to improve mood.

And I think I speak for men everywhere when I say to just swallow it. There's no need to roll it around your mouth like a fine wine. That doesn't let you guys go off the hook so easily. Men, Eat Fish. Lots of Fish! She'll appreciate it very much so. Eating almonds and fruits improve the taste of your semen gentlemen. Some foods, such as asparagus, can detrimentally affect its flavor. If the girls don't like swallowing your product, try eating more fruit for a few days and see how her reaction changes.



This does bring up the age old question, is God a man or a woman?

The woman argues: God must be a man, for if God were a woman, she would have made semen taste like chocolate.

The man argues: God must be a woman, for she deliberately made semen taste as it does to make womankind reluctant to perform blowjobs (to finish perhaps).

My position? I believe God is a hermaphroditic snail like creature who doesn't give a fuck either way, semen is not of its concern. Just swallow the god damn stuff already! No need to put something else in the trash can. It has a lot of protein!

On that same note - men, do we not know the golden rule of if you want it done to you, then you'll have to do it first? So put on that miner's hat and get to mining, mister! What? you don't like the smell? Don't worry, there's a new mint that can help you out! It's a Vagina Mint


Vagina mints; They keep your down south nice and minty.. even on humid days.

Linger Internal Feminine Flavoring was create to flavor the woman in such a manner that is safe and effective... You know, opposed to those unsafe and lacking methods. It also decreases self consciousness - and I have to say, if your girl is self conscious of getting oral pleasure.. what's wrong with you? Oh yeah, this also increases excitement. as there's nothing more exciting than putting a mint in someone's vagina.

It's a small, naturally sweetened flavoring, free of artificial dyes, which was created to flavor the secretions of a woman when she is sexually aroused. Linger is shaped for comfort during insertion and use and is formulated to dissolve slowly, so the effects last and last.... For some reason that pitch isn't selling me all that well.




But it's all part of paying the cost of admission, right guys? I mean... it's not like you can stare at boobs all day.... Or can you? (this is the fake news piece)

"Just 10 minutes of looking at the charms of a well-endowed females is equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out," said author Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist.

The team led by Weatherby was made up of researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany, and found this results after monitoring for 5 years the health of 200 male subjects, half of whom were asked to look at busty females daily, while the other half had to abstain from doing so.

For five years, the breasts oglers presented a lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and decreased risk of coronary artery disease.......

I'm just going to stop it right there because this is the one bunk article of the group that is always popping up. I guess guys just want justification for looking at a body part. Maybe it's just that I haven't been objectified... or for that matter most any guy has been objectified, and thus we don't know how to be sexy any more.

I have to admit though, this line is really convincing.

"Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation. There's no question: Gazing at large breasts makes men healthier. Our study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half." said Weatherby, who even recommends that men aged over 40 should spend at least 10 minutes daily admiring breasts sized "D-cup" or larger.

Oh yeah, nothing like calming the blood pressure by showing a hot D-cup size boob in your face. Yup, I think the only thing that happens to me when I see cleavage of a D-cup size boob is that the blood goes to one place and then runs a circular pattern around that... not much of a circulation booster there.

So I hope you learned a lot about this entry. But if there's one thing you can take away from all this is that while Christmas may only come but once a year, your changes of finding better health cums very often...
