Researchers investigating reports of gay men who willingly contract AIDS just for kicks

Hey, why not? I'm trying to get Herpes.
I've seen if you have it, you get to go hiking, bike ride, meet gorgeous women, go rafting....

and there's already the "pro ana" and "voluntary amputation" communities carrying their respective flags high in the air, so why not this?

It wouldn't surprise me if such people exist and NOT just in the Gay community.

So Why?

I read some time back that some gangs liked to have unprotected sex with multiple partners to prove how fearless they are. Kind of a sex version of Russian Roulette.

After all, we already know about those folks who know they're infected who deliberately have unprotected sex without telling their partners they have the virus. Some do it out of some form of psychotic revenge, some do it because they insist on that natural feel and don't care if they infect someone.

And let's not forget that they get to be a prophet that gets visited by angels


Shrinks are probably working overtime diagnosing and classifying all sorts of new mental illnesses because there's a whole lot of strange people out there.

But hey let's also remember there's all sorts of myths surrounding HIV. Like condoms are perfect, or oral sex has no risk at all, or women can't give it to men, or straight people aren't the fastest growing group of new infections, or that you're 100% guaranteed to get it in one go if you get fucked by someone infected.

Of course besides stuff that I've gotten from articles linked to in this entry most of my evidence is anecdotal and I must remember that the plural of anecdote is not data so take this all with a grain of salt guys.

Latest Public Sex Bust from.... you guessed it: Florida!

Source: The Smoking Gun

Because all weird stories have to come from either Florida or Germany (or sometimes sadly Virginia) I bring to you today's story of the happy couple of Amber Mumma and Marcelo Gonzalez.

The Floridians were arrested on the 11th after a Tampa cop spotted them having sex against a car. According to an arrest affidavit, Mumma, 19, and Gonzalez, 23, were trysting in the parking lot of Peabody's Billiards while several onlookers watched. The pair, both of whom work at a Tampa restaurant, are each facing a misdemeanor count of lewd and lascivious behavior. Additionally, Gonzalez was hit with a misdemeanor exposure of sexual organs rap while Mumma was charged with giving officers a phony name. Mumma and Gonzalez are pictured below in mug shots snapped by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. According to a police report, Officer Stephen Hiles was patrolling the parking lot when he spotted Mumma with her pants at her knees. Gonzalez was standing behind her with his penis exposed and, according to the cop, was allegedly having sex you know where.

You know the girl's not that bad really. I bet she looks a lot better when she has makeup and hasn't been crying all the way to the police station( and before she got railed in the butt). It's kinda sad because you can tell she was crying. Usually these girls have this methed out, straight from the trailer park, look to them but besides what could be herpes (and it's hard to tell since mug shots don't allow make up anyways and it could just be a pimple) she's really alright looking. Besides even if it is herpes there are still even some Hollywood starlets that can't escape that. A little photoshop magic and .......

There much better!

The guy on the other hand looks like the freaky son from Nip/Tuck. I mean....Damn! did he shave his eyebrows on purpose to look like that?

Head-over-heels in love? You'll get over it.

Giddy and in love (with another person)? Enjoy it while it lasts, scientists say that "that lovin feeling" is due to higher levels of a particular hormone, and that the amount of hormone steadily dwindles as time goes on as long as you stay with the same person. read more

Ever heard of blinds?

I ask that if you consider how prevalent digital cameras, digital camcorders, and camera cellphones are, is it really any surprise that fucking in front of an open window will lead to one's naked ass being plastered all over the internet?

Anatomically correct "White Trash" dolls teach kids about sex, breastfeeding and puberty.

Damn these are scary.Just look at what they had to say on the website.

All sales are final. We can not resale a doll that has been played with or soiled.
I shudder at the reasoning behind this disclaimer.

These dolls are not made in an industrial factory setting; instead each Amamanta doll is assembled by hand and therefore unique.
So depending on the worker's mood that day, the daddy might get a super huge penis ... or not? Or maybe three nuts?

Really though outside of possibly counselors or for legal purposes, I think these dolls are just another crutch for parents who are afraid to just sit down and talk to thier kids about sex.





Good Lord! It's like watching Alien!

Scariest PSA Ad Ever!

These French AIDS Prevention Ads scare me on whole other levels besides the whole STD angle they're aiming for.

Serbian men voluntarily line up to get their testicles shocked.

Original Article

Men in Serbia are lining up to have electric shocks delivered to their testicles as part of a new contraceptive treatment.

Serbian fertility expert Dr Sava Bojovic, who runs one of the clinics offering the service, said the small electric shock makes men temporarily infertile by stunning their sperm into a state of immobility.

He said: "We attach electrodes to either side of the testicles and send low electricity currents flowing through them.

"This stuns the sperm, effectively putting them to sleep for up to 10 days, which means couples can have sex without fear of getting pregnant.

"The method does not kill the sperm permanently and it does not affect the patient's health."

Dr Bojovic added patients were now lining up at his fertility clinic in Novi Banovci for the shock treatment, as it had none of the problems attached to using condoms, the male pill or having a vasectomy.

He added: "We are hoping to have a small battery powered version on sale in the shops in time for Xmas."

Damn, I think I'll stick to the condoms for now I guess. I wonder if these guys have ever seen this video?

Well, at least the kids are really thinking outside the box!

Kids who have taken virginity pledges are more likely to engage in oral and anal sex

A new eight-year study revealed that American teenagers who take virginity pledges wind up with just as many STDs as the other kids. But that's not all. Taking the pledge also makes a teenage girl six times more likely to perform oral sex, and four times more likely to allow anal. Apparently the only thing immoral about sex is sticking a penis into a vagina. Everything else is just fine.
Which leads me to an important question: why didn't I fill out these pledges when I was in high school?

If I had known I could have been getting some porn-star style sex the same year I took Algebra simply by joining up with the Christian right, I'd would have been Sooo down with Jesus (as long as they were going down on me that is). Bring on the celibacy, BJ's & buttsex!

From the Article

MacIntyre, who thrills to find dates through the College Coalition, wears a silver "purity ring," which her father slipped onto her finger during a mountain ceremony. When she gets married, she says, her father will give the ring to her husband. And when she finally has sex, she says, "it's gonna' freaking rock."

Umm, no it's not! It's probably gonna HURT. Like hell. Dumbfuck! Either that or your sexually repressed boyfriend shoots his load in a minute-five tops! It doesn't get good until later (maybe not much later, but still later) for probably 99% of women.

Oh yeah, and a virginity promise mountain ceremony? Way to be creepily overpossesive Dad! Bet he wants to be a silent witness to the cherry poppin' too!

There sure are a lot worse things than teenagers having sex. Namely, teenagers not having sex. Here is something you'll never hear: That suicide bomber blew himself up because he was having too much sex. Sex, sex, sex, nonstop, all that crazy Arab ever had was sex, and look what happened. I used to not understand the whole suicide bomber thing but now it's making more sense. I mean I thought before who would really want 72 virgins but now that we know they'd be schooled in giving BJ's and anal I have to admit the idea has a little more appeal (OK, not really).

In all seriousness though, my biggest concern about abstinence is the assumption that the first person you have sex with is automatically going to be someone you can be sexually compatible with for life. I think "try before you buy" is really, really important, and it's reasonably safe if you take the precautions.

The other problem is that abstinence puts a big pressure on kids to get married early. That might have seemed okay in generations past, but these days I think more of us believe it's a good idea to spend a few adult years in relative independence before taking the plunge. By choosing your mate after you've had a chance to grow up, I think you run less risk of "growing out of" that particular person.

I think if my generation has learned anything, it's that our parents rushed into marriage, with the result that I have many single-parented friends who were born in wedlock, but whose parents couldn't stand each other by middle age.

The whole idea of a perfect soulmate is simplistic and naive. It's even downright dangerous. It has led many poor hapless souls into unhappy marriages. I have had enough girlfriends to know nobody is a perfect match. ALL relationships take work. It's just some people match better than others, but no match is perfect. There is no such thing as a "soulmate".

As far as the teenagers are concerned. Sexual tension is a bitch, so I figure that as long as they're using condoms and practicing just a little responsibility, they can fuck each others brains out.

"Is there any greater irony than the fact that the Christian right actually got their precious little adolescent daughters to say to their freshly-scrubbed boyfriends, Please, I want to remain pure for my wedding night, so only in the ass. And then I'll blow you, I promise."
- Bill Maher

Greatest urinal ever!

Something to hold you over

Been busy. Going to update this soon with stories from the weekend. But I did say I'd update with this some scary stuff so here you go.


Oh and then there's this.
Of all the scents I've mentally associated with Paris Hilton, shit and urinal disinfectant is an improvement.

Study finds that the more educated and/or heavy a woman is, the harder it is to bring her to orgasm

Original Article

But why?

It probably boils down to the simple fact that different people have different sexual needs. One of the biggest mistake people make is believing everybody can be pleased the same way in bed. Probably a lot of guys have some lame teenage experience where it's all they can do to get it in the frickin' hole, and surprise! the girl digs that (or pretends to), so they figure they're now the greatest lover ever - and spend the rest of their lives jackhammering away at whatever warm, moist, concave opening that presents itself and possibly being just one of many possible causes for the problem.

Beyond that, I would imagine educated women in particular often need something a little more to really get off. As nice as the physicality can be, the mental side of sex seems just as important. You have to set the right mood, find the right psychological buttons to press, get her as worked up mentally as you are physically, etc. You just have to know what levers to hit with the girl you're with and take the time to figure it out..

All it takes to change those sessions of chafing frustration and anxiety into a satisfying experience is a "That feels good but you need to move that over a bit" or a "Let's do this for awhile, I'm not quite ready for that."

Other useful commands include "Slow down" "Speed up" "Not so hard, I'm sensitive today" and "Harder/More."

I just don't see how that has anything to do with having a PhD or having dropped out of middle school unless that just corellates with sexual experience.

I can see one biological reason why overweight women may have a loss of sex drive. Men and women both have testosterone in their bodies. Men, of course, have much higher levels. Testosterone affects sex drive. In overweight women, the heavier they are, the more estrogen their body produces. Weight also causes stress on the adrenal and metabolic system which in turn can cause problems with testosterone and progesterone levels. So basically, the hormone levels get too high and/or too low so it affects sex drive (among other things). So if you are overweight and your sex drive sucks. Maybe this plays a factor in it.

Same would be the same for men. Men also have estrogen in their bodies (at much lower levels than women). If you are a man and overweight, elevated estrogen levels can kill your sex drive as well.

Of course getting away from the biological issue maybe what the study really found was that more intelligent/educated women will be candid about sexual issues than less educated ones... most obvious reason for the findings, no?

I also think that a lot of well educated women, and men for that matter, have bought in to the idea of study hard, work hard, eyes on the prize, be good, and you'll succeed. Part of buying in to that is: sex is dangerous and it could hurt your future. You could get pregnant or a disease and that might hurt your career. Not only could a disease hurt your career, there's the possibility of contracting HIV and dying. What good is a wild night in the sack if you end up dying as a result? Same goes with getting pregnant. Would one night of careless animal passion be worth 9 months of pregnancy and 18 years of parenting or a traumatic abortion?

Between that baggage and a 50 hour work week at a white collar job it's hard to take it easy and get your groove on.

I know many intelligent/educated women who worry about anything and everything, so I don't really believe that it is directly linked to low sex drive, but I do believe it is linked to being distracted and if you're distracted it will certainly take a lot longer to achieve the end result..

These women who can't get orgasms might decide to spend their time doing something else, which might include more studying (since a lot of women come of sexual age during school years), so the less-orgasmic women spend their time learning more and becoming more intelligent. The more-orgasmic women spend their time partying and getting laid. So women with low sex drives do better in school since they don't have any distractions?

The study also says that women who are on oral contraceptives tend to have lower sex drives. I'm guessing the women with higher educations are also more likely to use oral contraceptives. Heck you could also probably blame it on these women being probably more likely to take anti-depressants which would also curb their sexual appetite.

Of course maybe this study is total shit!

The survey question that seems to cover the sexual desire issue is this one:

"My sexual desire is often much lower than I would like it to be."

And given that educated women had a higher-than-average rate of answering "yes", the conclusion drawn was:

Women who are educated, married or heavy are more likely to have low sex drives.

And so I take issue with the conclusion. The survey did not actual quantify anyone's sex drive. It merely asked for women's assessment of their sex drives. And so there are actually two ways to take the results concerning educated women -- either they actually have lower sex drives than the average woman, or they desire a higher sex drive than the average woman.

All we can say for sure is that educated women are less satisfied with their sex drives, because that's all the survey asked.

It's like doing a survey and asking women if they are happy with how they look, and if educated women are less happy, concluding that educated women are uglier than uneducated women. Whereas actual appearances weren't tested -- just personal opinions.

Now, perhaps the researchers DO view the results this way. One researcher says: "It may well be that highly educated women are different from less-educated women in many respects. Maybe they have higher standards . . . higher expectations
and legitimately lower evaluations." And so perhaps it's just the article that botches the conclusion.

Of course, maybe I've put too much energy into this examination of these women's anorgasmic inclinations (it's turned into a damn essay!). I mean I still wonder from time to time if most women (hell people) know where the G-spot is afterall.

Oh yeah! I welcome comments of any kind since I can obviosly only see this from one side of the debate.

"Fifty percent of the women in this country are not having orgasms. If that were true of the male population, it would be declared a national emergency."
