The Art of Kissing
February 17th, 2010
Not all humans kiss. While 90% do, anthropologists say the remaining 10% are certain tribes in various areas around the world that aren’t interested in making out. Clearly they don’t know what they’re missing.
So, why do we kiss at all? Many animals and human societies rub noses with each other to show affection (Eskimos, Polynesians and Malaysians still do), and others do pucker their lips to show they care. Although theories on kissing abound (one theory says that social kissing originated with medieval knights as a way to find out if their wives had been drinking while they were away fighting) the most widely accepted scientific reason for kissing is that humans do it to find a suitable mate.

However, humans now claim to be civilized… and if a person decides to delve into the world of commitment, marriage and fidelity, they should hold to the ideals that accompany that choice. However, that doesn’t seem to hold true in today’s world of disposable marriages.

Why Porn is Teaching Your Man Bad Habits in Bed
September 25th, 2009
Over this past weekend, I got into a discussion with friends that (inevitably) led to sex and pornography, and it all boiled down to two questions: Is porn a good thing, or a bad thing? And… what does it do for our sex lives?
Firstly, let’s acknowledge that pornography can be good for some people. Couples going through hard time sexually are often prescribed pornography as a way of reengaging and rejuvenating their sex lives. And some people are voyeuristic, and get turned on watching others. But if your guy thinks that the reel-life he’s seeing should be anything like your real-life in the bedroom, then there’s a problem. Here’s why:
