Sex-related news! Overweight women have more sex. Woman’s gait predicts sexual pleasure. Huh! & Couple wants global orgasms for peace. Get ready, December 22nd!

Answerbag.com is completely fascinating. I spent many hours here the other day.

Make sure spouse has the ‘right’ faults from CNN by way of Oprah.

“He’s often late, which is inconsiderate = I fear not being sufficiently appreciated. Thanks, Dad. He thinks about his needs first, and mine second = If you express your needs, no one will love you. Thanks, Mom.”

Also, beware catching this from your spouse. If you’re in a crappy relationship, read this & take action! I’ve written about mirror neurons here before, but it’s always good to be reminded…

I am obsessed with Plasterdoll.

Steve Pavlina is juice-feasting as part of his new raw food experience. Juice-feasting has always seemed a bit extreme to me, & doesn’t interest me all that much, but what he has to say about how it’s going is really fascinating.

Vampire jokes: so good they’re bad. Oh, I am such a nerd.

This is the best wedding dress I have ever seen. As Jasmine said in her email to me, “Looks like My Little Pony and Tinkerbell totally got it on nasty-style in a magical rhinestone shop and this dress was their sparkling bastard love child!” That’s my kind of dress!

This link is NOT safe for work but it made me laugh so hard I almost… Well, you know. It’s many, many years old, but is a review of a fake vagina, by Hug Nation’s John Halcyon Styn. Seriously, it is unbelievably hilarious. You will enjoy it, I promise.
