Can anyone tell me why so many famous and powerful men decide not only to take pictures of their private parts but to text, tweet and email them to people?
How many men have to be caught before men actually learn from the guys who have gone before?
This time it's Congressman Anthony Weiner. Here was a successful politician, a rising star in the Democratic Party and a possible candidate for mayor of New York in the next election. He had a really bright future, but there was a camera built into his phone and he just couldn't help himself. He had to strip down and take a few pictures.
Others who have succumbed to this temptation include Tiger Woods, Brett Favre and former Congressman Chris Lee. Lee resigned after his photo -- which was very similar to some of those tweeted by Anthony Weiner -- went public. Weiner has decided to try to ride out the storm and the pundits are busy debating if he can survive.
At least he appeared at his press conference to announce that he has been lying to us for the last 10 days alone. I am thankful there was no dutiful wife standing just off to the side looking as though she had been hit by a truck, still reeling from the news. Weiner apologized to her and then threw her under a bus. He said she knew about his sexcapades. He said he has been doing this for about three years, which means he was indulging his internet fantasies before and during his marriage. Am I really supposed to believe that this was all happening with his wife's knowledge and consent? Puhleeze.
Me thinks that the congressman is still lying. The congressman is a liar; how am I supposed to believe anything this man says? He did not want to go into detail about his relationships with what he says is six different women. He wants us to believe he realizes that what he did was wrong and that he is going back to work and he is going to work on being a better man. He became emotional while referring to his wife and their families.
I think the congressman is upset, embarrassed and remorseful. He is upset that he got caught. He is embarrassed that we now know his dirty little secret and he regrets the loss of the pristine image he had painted, wrapped and sold to us for the last 14 years.
I don't think what Congressman Weiner did was so awful. What makes me angry is being deceived. I hate not trusting the people who represent me and who make our laws. You want that job? Then really stand for something. Don't just offer me lip service. It would be so refreshing at a time like this if this wasn't just another exercise in damage control.
By the way, there is no way we can have a Mayor Weiner at this point in time. Digital pictures on the internet are forever. Sorry.
A Deakin University researcher has said that women are as likely as men to enjoy casual sexual arrangements, but for different reasons.
Kylie McCardle, who has been looking for 400friends with benefits to take part in a survey, said the women who took part in an initial study said these arrangements gave them sexual confidence.
The men were more likely to say they enjoyed the intimacy of the friendship, the Age quoted McCardle as saying.
The initial study was based on in-depth interviews with 15 couples, or 30 friends "with benefits".
"A lot of study of casual sex has focused on the negative impact, especially for women. While ''friends with benefits'' have been part of popular culture for a while now, it's only just started to be researched," she said.
The study identified two kinds of relationships - " sex buddies" who had little contact outside the bedroom, and those who were friends before and after the sexual relationship.
While many of the respondents were in their 20s, McCardle also interviewed several Generation X divorcees who preferred sex with a friend to emotional involvement.
A 2010 survey of customers on the RSVP website found that 36 per cent of women and 30 per cent of men had had friends with benefits.
Are you always complaining that your sex life is running out of steam? Well, what's stopping you from getting adventurous and innovative? Charge up your sex life using this list of the 10 craziest places to fool around...or you could get inspired and think of a few of your own!
1. On the couch: After the bed, the couch in the living room is screaming for attention. And the best part...it's comfy too. The cushions work as a support system to get those curves and arches to enjoy the perfect moves, while the lack of space will keep up the intimacy levels. Want some more action? Put on a wild flick on video and you have a perfect mood maker!
Word of caution: Watch out your moves, going out of control is injurious...for the couch of course!
2. In the bathtub: Things can get real hot even in a cool bath tub. For the ultimate romantic experience, arrange for a bubble bath with aromatic rose petals and passion perfume. Add some mood lighting, splash a few drops of 'ylang ylang' essential oil and be certain that the sensuous experiment will lead to some supah hot sex.
Word of caution: Check out the water temperature, you don't want to end up with painful blisters or a frozen lover...isn't?
3. In the kitchen: Be it 91/2 Weeks or Fatal Attraction , the kitchen has borne witness to quite a number of sexapades. The sturdy surfaces and shelves offer great support, especially for stand-up acts, while the feeling of being at an unconventional place pumps up the excitement to newer heights. And how can you miss the yummy treats your kitchen is loaded with? Eat them, but off each other's hot bods. Think chocolate, cream, jams and jellies!
Word of caution: Know the stuff you are eating and applying...some edibles are good only to eat. So watch out for allergies!
4. In the pool: Though not many are privileged to have one in the confines of their home, if you are one of the lucky few, make the most of it. Challenge your swimming skills and get under for into some underwater escapades. Who said that the inflatable water turtle is meant only for tanning, use it for some steamy adventure...ride it together and get a new high!
Word of caution: You need not be swimming champs, but fairly decent floating skills are definitely expected to get into the water-y fun.
5. In the car: Yes it's crammed, but it's cosy too. A quickie in the backseat can rekindle the excitement that you felt during your heady college days. Put on some romantic retro tracks and switch on the AC. Don't fret, it won't cool down the passion. When the place is different, the position can't be a drab. It's tough to adjust facing each other, but turning the world around can definitely help...hope you got the clue!
Word of caution: Just be careful where you park...you don't want to get busted!
6. In the dressing room: How about catching her unawares in the dressing room of a store? Sounds dangerous but thrilling too! The fear of getting caught will only add to the sensual experience, while the lack of time is perfect to give you a never before quickie. Thinking comfort? Sorry! All you have is a stool...let him stand as you take charge!
Word of caution: Making noise is not allowed here and do take care of hidden cameras and key-holes.
7. The stairs: If you are thinking they can be a pain to one's body, think again, as they can be adventurous too. After all, they can give you those highs and lows, especially when the girl is comparatively short.
Word of caution: Don't get really aggressive if getting cramps in your lower back is not on your mind.
8. On the roof : Yes, this can be a great playground; the gentle moonlight, a cool breeze to caress your passionate entwinings. Pep it up with some paper lamps or scented candles and light music, which will just add to the mood. You have all the space to set the ball rolling...so go ahead and explore her contours under a starry sky.
Word of caution: No physical risks are involved...but just take care of peeping Toms around.
9. In a sleeping bag: Nothing could bring you as close as that sleeping bag that's meant for a single person and is loaded with two! Why not get into some naughty action and add to a fun-filled camping trip? Instead of the normal position, turn around and have some fun from behind. Talk about kinky fantasies!
Word of caution: Zip the bag properly, you don't want end up killing insects in the mid of the act.
10. On a plane: You can try the toilet and if that's too cramped, the seat in a Business or First class cabin. Some airliners with long-haul flights now boast of recliner seats that go as flat as a bed. Take a flight of fantasy.
Word of caution: Don't try it if you already have flight phobia and take care of people lining-up outside the loo.does not cause emotional or psychological damage in young people, says a new study.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota found that young adults engaging in casual sexual encounters do not appear to be at increased risk for harmful psychological outcomes as compared to sexually active young adults in more committed relationships.
While this study focused on the psychological impact, researchers warned that the physical risks of casual sex should not be overlooked.
Study author Marla E. Eisenberg and colleagues used data from Project Eating Among Teens (EAT), an ongoing study that assessed a diverse sample of 1,311 sexually active young adults.
From 2003-2004, 574 males and 737 females in Minnesota with a mean age of 20.5 were surveyed regarding sexual behaviours and emotional wellbeing.
Of the sexually active respondents, 55 per cent reported that their last sexual partner was an exclusive dating partner followed by 25 per cent whose most recent partner was a fiancée, spouse, or life partner.
Much lower percentages reported that their last sexual partner was a close but not exclusive partner (12 per cent) or a casual acquaintance (8 per cent). Over twice as many males as females reported that their last partner was casual.
Although there has been speculation in public discourse that sexual encounters outside a committed romantic relationship may be emotionally damaging for young people, this study found no differences in the psychological wellbeing of young adults who had a casual sexual partner verses a more committed partner.
"While the findings from this study show that young adults engaging in casual sexual encounters do not appear to be at increased risk for harmful psychological outcomes compared to those in more committed relationships, this should not minimize the legitimate threats to physical well-being associated with casual sexual relationships, and the need for such messages in sexuality education programs and other interventions with young adults," Eisenberg said.
