Except this is not obligatory. I was most certainly moved by Obama's speech tonight. The way he spoke about how "this election
is not about me, it's about you." How he said that while we may disagree on gay marriage, we should let our gay and lesbian
brothers and sisters be able to visit those they love in the hospital, having it make sense to those who may be on the fence
about this issue. And most importantly about how it's not just about having the government make the right decisions, but
having each person make the right decisions. "Individual responsibility, mutual responsibility."
Make no mistkae, I have no ill-conceived notions that this man is going to come in and totally save the day, creating a 180 degree change.
But Obama has my idea of the right moves, the right ideas. And lets face it, he has style and he has class. He bestows a demeanor
of power, of leadership, and yes, a demeanor of hope. And for a nation who is obviously feeling that the rug has been
pulled from under them, feeling apathetic, we need a person who treats us right. Who will not only say "I'm going to take care
of you," but also encourage everyone to take care of themselves.
And now folks...I watch the New Gong Show with Dave Attell.

Generally one thinks of the stereotypical cocky man who makes fun of others and brags about himself as the Don Juan.
But what if Don Juan joked about his small penis and his lack of achievements? This month a research study aptly titled
"Dissing Oneself: The Sexual Attractiveness of Self-Deprecating Humor" will be published in the journal Evolutionary
Psychology. By having women listen to recordings of men talking about themselves, the men who made fun of themselves
the most were rated as more attractive than other men.
Speaking of which, have I mentioned how bad I am at the sex? (everybody: how bad are you?) I'm so bad at the sex
that even *I* fall asleep. That's how...bad I am...at sex.
My favorite part about this study is all the possible screwups that can occur when someone takes this information
and goes a tad bit too far with it. Like a guy who is openly self-deprecating about missing child support payments
or beating his exes.
While it was Henry Kissinger who said that power was the ultimate aphrodisiac it was Woody Allen who said
"my one regret in life is that I am not someone else."

Occasionally I will be posting short and simple sex-related surveys for fun and interest. Answer if you will.
Topic: Queefing: releasing of air in the vagina, often sounding similar to flatulence (farting, pooting).
This survey is geared towards ladies and those who sleep with them.
(1) Have you ever laughed when a queef occurred?
(2) Is it okay to laugh at a one night stand queef?
(3) Is it okay to laugh at a queef of a well-known partner?
(4) What are your feelings on queefs?
(5) Have you ever queefed so loud that your body vibrated because the queef contained so much pocketed air in your vagina that the
shear volume of the escaped air from your vagina caused vibrations in the release making a farting sound come out of your vagina and
move the vibrations all over your body from your vagina?
Thank you in advance.

In Bend, OR, the famed "pregnant man" gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Thomas Beatie, who was born biologically female had
undergone surgery to remove his mammary glands and take testosterone, is legally a male but had decided earlier on to keep
his female reproductive organs because he had always wanted to have a child.
Born through c-section, the baby girl is healthy.

A new study recently reports that almost a fifth of women in the UK (17% of the 1600 questioned) rush through sex, or push off sex altogether
in order to watch their favorite television shows. This is why doggy style was invented peoples.
On April 14th, 1963, the lovely Wilson
couple from Grand Rapids, MI were getting hot and heavy between the sheets. All was going splendidly well until Mary realized that Ed Sullivan
would be debuting the Italian Mouse "Topo Gigio"
on his show in just a few minutes. Being a resourceful one, she pushed John off of her, got up on all
fours to turn the television on and without looking at him said, "Hey chief, I didn't tells you to stop, see? Just keep going, why don't ya?"
Obviously those 17% of women in the study don't know a little something called
history.

Lovely readers, would you or have you rushed through sex or put sex off in order to watch your favorite television show? I need to know this.

Let us say that you are watching porn and decide to have a go at it solo-style. How long is normal for the masturbatory experience?
Should you just go at it? Or are you supposed to like try to time yourself so you end with the scene? End of the movie? Personally,
I get bored waiting and tend to cue up to parts that I like, but I was once told that was odd so I thought I would ask.
Thanks,
X
Yet another variation of the tried and true question "what's normal?" Well, the average time it takes for a male to ejaculate is about 3-5 minutes,
as Kinsey put it under 2 minutes over 50% of the time is considered "premature." Personally, I prefer
"retarded" ejaculation to premature since it
adds for laughs and longer sexing. Anyhow, I digress. I guess my question is who effing cares? You shouldn't, thats for sure. But you do, and that's
okay. Unless you're jerking your meat chain 25 times a day, with or without porn, then I wouldn't worry about what is normal. Seriously, diddling
yourself through the entirety of a porn flick sounds painful and boring. Timing yourself can be a fun little exercise and also aide you in
prolonging your stamina. You can masturbate up until a few moments before you feel like you're going to cum, then hold off and wait, and then
have at it again. Make sure not to pinch at the tip of your cockula right before ejaculating thinking it'll increase your time before ejaculating.
If you feel the ejaculate coming up your penis and you pinch the top of your cock all you're doing is voluntarily engaging in
retrograde ejaculation,
making the semen go in to your bladder. Yes, ouch.
In the end, do what feels right, time yourself to your favorite part of the erotic flick and have fun. I'd say thats pretty damn normal to me.

No longer will old cars and Buena Vista Social Club be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Cuba. In another move towards a
more liberalised set of policies, the new president of Cuba, Raul Castro, has authorized offering Cuban citizens free sex changes. Already signed
by Cuba's health minister, Jose Ramon Balaguer, the surgery will be covered by the country's universal health service. Mariela Castro Espin, daughter
of Raul and head of the National Centre for Sex Education initiated this very progressive move. She is also working towards the legalisation of same-sex
unions in Cuba, which if approved, would make Cuba the most liberal country in South America in terms of sexual rights. The physicians who will be in
charge of said surgeries have been trained by some of the best surgeons from Belgium. Furthermore, a health clinic will be created exclusively for
such procedures.
This is a big step away from Cuba's past LGBT rights infringements such as the
Mariel Boat Lift
in 1980 where amongst other Cubans, gay men and trans-women were told that they can either leave Cuba or go to jail.

This is part one in a two part question. First part: Condoms.
Dear Omniphiliac, I was just wondering if you had any pointers for first-time off-the-bat condom usage. To help combat,
or deal with, what a colleague of mine has called "total wiggle bullshit," or TWB. To help the man please the lady (or man) when he's got a big ol'
slab of desensitizing latex on his schlong and increase, for that matter, the chances of orgasm for the man himself.
Ah yes, the horrible effects of TWB can be incredibly troublesome for both partners. You two are riled up, raring to go,
and you're harder than Chinese algebra, but the moment your cockula sees that dooming latex shield it goes limp. Leaving both of you to look at each other,
then look at your dick and say "WTF mate?"
There's at least two main factors that cause TWB; physical and psychological.
Physical being you ain't got no sensation, sucker. Or at least the sensation
that you do have is nothing like the sensation of flesh on flesh (or should I say, mucous membrane on mucous membrane) loving. One way to combat this is
by applying a few drops of your favorite lube inside the condom (penis side) before you put it on. This will allow for additional friction and giving
you a little more sensation. However, stay the fuck away from using oil-based lubes (including olive oil you Italian stallion, you), as oil breaks down latex
and that is no bueno for both parties, my friend. You can also have your partner give you a good fluffing before and during condom application. Have him or
her put it on for you whilst jacking you off, or put it on with their mouth if they're so inclined. There's also no shame in using a cock ring. Just because
you're young and virile doesn't mean you can't be just a little bit harder. If your partner gives you a dirty look and asks you what you're doing with
that circular contraption, tell her or him that it ensures that the condom stays on (wink wink). Hell, get a vibrating cock ring or one with little nubbies on top
to produce a greater chance of turning on your partner as well.
If you're able to stay hard right after putting on the condom but your dick shrivels up half way through sex, try some different positions that may
increase good ol' friction. A little oral also helps, or just take a break and use another condom a few minutes later if you have to.
Psychological means your thoughtsicles are getting in the way of proper sexing. You may be one hard motherfucker but the moment you pull
out that condom you think to yourself "oh jumping jehosaphat, this condom is going to suck, I'm not going to feel a damn thing." Saying this to yourself
--hopefully you're not saying this out loud as this may scare off your sex partner--will most likely increase the chances that this will be a
shitty experience. As I said, having your partner assist in putting on the condom might make this a sexy part of foreplay and you'll be too busy thinking
how hot your partner is to concern yourself with worries of latex-caused doom. This also may be anxiety-related if this was your first time with the partner.
Being that you wanted to show off your sexual prowess but might have begun to feel anxious thinking that you won't impress or please your partner.
You're not going to please everyone all the time, but you sure can try. Try not to work up this image of hot hot sex and just take it all step by step.
Over thinking the matter will just bring you doom and gloom. Although this is faulty logic think of it this way, your cock needs all the blood it can take
to stay hard, right? So don't waste that blood in your brain by over thinking the minute details of your loving.
As far as your last question goes regarding increasing chances of you coming to fruition, who says that you have to cum while thrusting away inside
your partner? While there is of course the appeal, and sometimes pressure to just finish off while fucking, it can also be sexy to orgasm outside
of intercourse. However, your partner should get to choose where you finish off, whether it be on their body, on your hairy hairy stomach or
on that tea towel your 2nd cousin gave you for Christmas a few years ago.

Looks like abstinence-only education advocates are taking another hit after the findings of a large-scale survey on teen sexual activity
were recently released. This large government study stated that there is no longer a decline in teenage sexual activity since 2007 and that
condom use has leveled out since 2003. This comes after a report that 1 in 4 teenage girls has a sexually transmitted disease and that
teen birthrate has increased for the first time in 15 years.
While there are many reasons behind the lack of decline in sexual activity amongst teenagers, such as supposed apathy towards sexually transmitted diseases and changing
attitudes towards sex, there is a definite blame finger pointed at the good folks of abstinence-only education. "We may be witnessing the beginning of
a trend where we're reaping the harvest of medically inaccurate and ineffective sex education, which is abstinence-until-marriage sex education,"
said Michael Resnick, who studies teen sexual behavior at the University of Minnesota. Due to the combination of minimizing the effectiveness
of condoms, coupled with the lack of education on how to use a condom, many students will simply opt out of using the contraceptive. If
they don't like the way the latex barrier feels, and they believe it is highly ineffective then why bother using it? However, with comprehensive
sex education, there is discussion on how effective condoms are, as well as how to incorporate them into your sex life without it becoming too
much of a mood killer.

On Tuesday June 3rd, a small town in Greece by the name of Tilos performed the country's first same-sex marriages. Despite the constant warnings
by the Greek government, the mayor of this small island followed through with the marriages. This great moment, although generally not accepted
in the country is a wonderful win. Even though Greece is home to many gay bars and resorts, homosexuality is still faced with discrimination.
Since there is a loophole in the civil union laws of Greece wherein it does not specify that such unions can only be between a man and a woman,
the mayor decided to follow through with the marriages. As one of the married persons stated, "We did this to encourage other gay people to take
a stand," this is another great and very public way of breaking the silence of discrimination and persecution towards LGBT individuals.
I guess this gives a whole new meaning to "going Greek," amirite?!
