French No Longer Topless
It no longer attracts the attention it once did so the “trend setters” are moving on. Or, it could just be the sight of those 50+ year old women. It was hailed as feminist progress. Women could go topless, “just like men” – even though that was never really so, as it was always more complicated for women, who had to decide first if they would do it at all, and then only “horizontally” (i.e. while sunbathing) or “vertically” (swimming and walking on the beach) too. Still, going topless suited the era, coming, as it did, just a year before another feminist breakthrough, the legalisation of the Pill. Like contraception, toplessness (at both the beach and municipal pools) was seen as a way for women to assert and control their own sexuality. So … Read entire article »
Relationship Advice
Here are some articles I’ve written about a few of those tough relationship issues. Benefits of dating older men Men mature emotionally at a slower rate than women. Given that generality, what are the benefits of dating older men? As a teen or twenty something, women will often want more of an emotional connection that men their own age can provide. Dating a man a few years older often connects women to men who have grown into their emotions and their ability to express themselves comfortably. An older man may understand you. Red flags in a relationship There can be many red flags in a relationship, some subtle and some not so much. Waking to find your significant other standing over you with a carving knife would be one of those not so subtle red … Read entire article »

Size Matters – Wallet Size
Scientists have found that the pleasure women get from making love is directly linked to the size of their partner’s bank balance. They found that the wealthier a man is, the more frequently his partner has orgasms. “Women’s orgasm frequency increases with the income of their partner,†said Dr. Thomas Pollet, the Newcastle University psychologist behind the research. He believes the phenomenon is an “evolutionary adaptation†that is hard-wired into women, driving them to select men on the basis of their perceived quality. The study is certain to prove controversial, suggesting that women are inherently programmed to be gold-diggers. However, it fits into a wider body of research known as evolutionary psychology which suggests that both men and women are genetically predisposed to ruthlessly exploit each other to achieve the best chances of survival … Read entire article »

Horny at the Holidays?
Well, you’re not alone. According to an article on the McClatchy News site, the days between Christmas and New Years are the peak time for sex in the United States. The Christmas-New Year’s period produces a year-high spike in sexual activity and conceptions in the United States, according to biorhythm researchers and makers of sex-related products. They attribute the increase to holiday leisure and New Year’s resolutions to have children. New Year’s irresolution fueled by alcohol and partying is another contributing factor. “Right before New Year’s Eve is our highest sales peak,” said David Johnson, group product manager for Trojan brand condoms, the leading U.S. seller. So, have Merry for Christmas and don’t forget the ho – ho – ho. … Read entire article »

Ten Hottest Actresses on Television
In an effort to force the writers to end their strike, I give you my list: Audrey Marie Anderson: The Unit. The kind of wife a lot of soldiers wish they had.
