3/29    Any good explanation why the divorce rate in Hollywood is so
        high? I have my obvious explanation but then I'll just get
        flamed "you obviously know nothing about love", so enlighten
        me, please.
        \_ Well the conservatives didn't say anything so I'll just say it as
           if I were one (and I'm not). The reason why there are so many
           divorce is that THEY ARE LIBERAL!!! All that easy kissing and random
           hook-up fucking and drugs and sodomy is really hurting family values
           Second point, people who have kids tend to have marriage 5-7 years
           longer than without, and since they usually don't have kids (too
           busy) they divorce early. No kids, no church, no Jesus, no family
           values = divorce.
           \_ http://www.sexnewsdaily.com/issue/b496-012004.html#divorce
           \_ So when Newt Gingrich served his wive divorce papers, the
              DAY AFTER she had major cancer surgery and was still in the
              hospital recovering, he was demonstrating his fine family
              values?  How about Larry King's 6 divorces?  He must be some
              kind of liberal.
           \_ This doesn't sound much like any conservative I know.
        \_ I'd guess because a hollywood actor's job is an extremely high
           pressure job for a marriage: one or both sides travel alot, they
           likely spend a lot of time apart, are constantly under attack by
           tabloid rumor-mongering, typically work very long hours, and have to
           live extremely paranoid lives to get even a shred of privacy.
           Doubtless, the plastic shallow hollywood media lifestyle doesn't
           help, either.
        \_ Is there some new report out?  or are you basing this on celebrity
           reports?
           \_ op is probably talking about Denise Richards / Charlie Sheen,
              and the latest news re Brad Pitt / Jennifer Aniston.
              \_ Um, well duh.  You don't hear about the actors who DON'T get
                 divorced.  Also, there is a thing with actors.  They're often
                 highly insecure people, but emotionally open.  So a long term
                 commitment sounds like a fabulous idea until they're there.
        \_ http://www.sexnewsdaily.com/issue/b496-012004.html#divorce
        \_ When you say "in Hollywood", are you talking about movie stars,
           or the Hollywood district in the City of Los Angeles?
        \_ IMO, it's because they're actors, and they're good at acting, and
           so by the time they break through the screens, they're already
           married.
           \- At one point the Duke Med School class had +100% divorce rate.
              \_ Most surgery programs have huge divorce rates.  However, this
                 is a different phenomenon that what the pp described.  The
                 med school divorce rate is high for reasons of overwork,
                 while the pp described a drastic change in the circumstance
                 of one person in a marriage.
                    \- obviously the med school case isnt due to one party
                       starts dating his co-star, but i do wonder if there
                       is an element of "now that i am about to become
                       a highly paid surgeon, i can trade up". this was only
                       mentioned because of the curious +100% stat. the
                       rest if obvious.
                \_ how do you get more than 100?  kill your mate?
                   \_ hmm the same person getting married and divorced
                      multiple times?
                   \_ Those married before med school get divorced afterwards.
        \_ Hollywood is an easy target. Find any high paid, high pressure
           job and I'm sure the numbers are similar. The only times it isn't
           is when spouses are key to career success (ie.  politicians,
           religious leaders). Making a real marriage work is hard.

3/21    Is there a reason why women love junk mail and spam mail? I helped
        my family members get rid of Red Plum, Valassis, DMA, etc and
        everyone's junk mail has decreased significantly, however all the
        women in my life (wife, sister, mother) are pissed at me. Ditto with

1/30    "Want to have more sex? Men, stop helping with the chores"
        http://www.csua.org/u/z3x (news.yahoo.com)
        F*CK!  I've been doing this all wrong!
        \_ There is a Cantonese saying: "Don't feed your woman to a full
           stomach until she turns 70."  It's the same idea -- if you treat
           your woman too well, she won't behave.

Annals of the Bizarre Tokyo plans restrictions on used panty sales Are the Japanese . Tokyo's city government is proposing restrictions that would stop the sale of girls' used underwear, which can cost as much as USD$94 through sex shops. The proposed legislation is part of a sweeping program to make the adult industry less available to minors, including requiring IDs for sidewalk porn vending machines and demanding publishers wrap the covers of x-rated magazines. return to top Those Hot Canadians Big penis song passes Canadian censor Calgary's CJAY-FM knows its audience. The station's core audience is men from 18-49, so it assumed it was on target with a joke song by Da Vinci's Notebook called "Enormous Penis." Among the song's lyrics are I gotta sing and I dance When I glance in my pants. Except to one solitary listener who complained to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council. Unfortunately, that lone voice of protest is doomed to endure more enlightening songs in the future. In ruling the song not obscene, the Council noted, "The discussion of penis size is not in and of itself sufficiently unequivocally a sexual matter that it can be said to be in breach of the code." The Blunder Chronicles Streakers' car stolen: trio left naked in 20 degree weather In the wee hours of the morning, 3 pillars of the Spokane, WA young adult community decided to stop being bored. So they stripped down to hats and shoes, left their car running for a quick getaway, and made a bare-assed sprint through the local Denny's restaurant. Only to notice, in mid-streak, that a thief was driving off in their car. The police found the teens huddled behind a car in the parking lot. The thief, by the way, had been eating in the restaurant when the geniuses began their streak. Said a local cop: "We always tell people not to leave their cars running." Department of Sex Research Herpes common among lesbians -- but most don't know it According to a study published in the December 2003 issue of Sexually Transmitted Diseases, 46% of women who have sex with other women tested positive for HSV-1 (oral herpes), and 79% tested positive for HSV-2 (genital herpes) -- but only 30% of the oral herpes carriers and only 29% of the genital herpes carriers knew they carried the virus. Between 73% - 80% of the women had had sex with a man sometime in their lives. In terms of sexual activity, 100% gave and received oral-vaginal and digital-vaginal sex with female partners, 63% engaged in digital-anal sex, and 34% participated in in oral-anal sex. Jeanne M Marrazzo of Seattle's Harborview Medical Center, "This means that routine acquisition of chronic viral sexually transmitted diseases, like herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), HIV, and hepatitis B, can occur at the same rate as in strictly heterosexual women." return to top The Male Body The Vasclip alternative to vasectomy In over 80% of relationships, contraception is the woman's responsibility. Now there's a chance more men may take the role, with the advent of a new type of vasectomy that's less painful and just as effective: the Vasclip. In traditional vasectomy, a urologist removes a segment the vas deferens, the tube that carries sperm. Using the Vasclip, the doctor inserts a small clamp -- about the size of a kernel of rice -- across the vas. With the Vasclip, the procedure involves less pain, few complications, and a only a 1 - 1 day return to normal activities. Next, the manufacturer plans to study whether the Vasclip is reversible. return to top Chronicles of the 21st Century Pro-Bush states have highest divorce rates Outraged Liberals tend to think George W is out to get them on all fronts. But consider this: he's not targeting you, Liberals and sexual radicals of all stripes. He's targeting his own constituency -- traditionally pro-Bush states in the Bible Belt -- which have the highest divorce rates in the country. Yes, it's not the godless, Liberal, East Coast intellectuals who are destroying the institution of marriage, but the Good 'Ole Boys and their wives! According to the Barna Research Group -- a firm that specializes in identifying church and cultural trends, Baptists (29%) and nondenominational Christians (34%) are getting divorced more frequently than atheists/agnostics (21%). The 5 states with the highest rates of divorce were Nevada, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama and Oklahoma. return to top Dispatch from LA Hollywood and the 40+ actress . And over-40 actress Rosanna Arquette, 44, is pissed off and she isn't going to take it lying down. Arquette has produced and directed a documentary entitled Searching For Debra Winger, which will have its initial screening this summer. For those of you who don't know Debra Winger, she is a three-time Oscar nominee who starred in Terms of Endearment, An Officer and a Gentleman, Urban Cowboy and many other films. But in 1996, at the age of 40, she quit the film industry due to its rampant sexism and prejudice against mature female actors. Among the 30 actors speaking up in Searching for Debra Winger, are Meg Ryan, Holly Hunter, Charlotte Rampling, Sharon Stone, Whoopi Goldberg, Julianna Margulies, Daryl Hannah and Theresa Russell. return to top The Female Psyche 30 secrets every woman keeps from her man Why do you keep these secrets? And what's a guy supposed to do now that he knows your secrets? So here are some ver y heavy secrets about women that all guys should know. For example -- + She has done a hand-comparison measurement of your erect penis, so she can tell her friends how you measure up.

It's called "Slightest Touch" and it isn't a vibrator, dildo, or any other traditional sex toy. It's a device that uses electrical frequencies to communicate sexual arousal to a woman's pelvic region. To use it, you attach electrodes to your ankles and to the main unit and drink Gatorade or the electrolyte drink that comes in the package. Then you plug in the unit, wait 20 minutes or so, and you're ready to go. It was like someone had woken up all the nerve endings in that part of my body. So I let my fingers do the walking to a little nearer their destination, and I was surprised by the results . We don't know whether these are true stories or not -- although they come with names and ages. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking sales guys who works at the store. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help. I was finally able to grab her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons. I told her that if she didn't start behaving "right now" she would be punished. I mustered up the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me were screams of laughter." The Lawyer and The Blond A lawyer and a blond are sitting next to each other on a long flight from LA to NY. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she'd like to play a game. He explains that the game is really easy and a lot of fun. "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and visa-versa." This catches her attention and, figuring there'll be no end to the torment unless she plays, she agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question: "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her ...
