Here we have, straight from the horses' mouth (so to speak), advice from a male doctor telling men how to maintain a ‘sex only’ relationship with a woman. If you ask him, it is possible. (If you ask me, someone should hand me a housebrick to bludgeon this rampantly patronising and blatantly sexist goon over the head with). How to Keep it 'Just Sex' Q: Doc: I have a problem with women – not meeting  them – just keeping things as “just sex” and nothing mor...

these very words you now do read, were by lack of my clothing freed (so, you may think this very rude, but i am blogging in the nude !) i rise and quickly shut the blind, (no lucid thought will grace my mind) made braver by the coming night, i ditch my gear in failing light ! i perch gingerly on my chair, and wait for inspiration there (the phone rings and my tea is spilt in clumsy and pre-emptive guilt !) i force my brain back to my task, which really is a major ask ('caus...

So far, humans have been a highly dominant species. Our multiplication and adaptability have allowed us to populate even some of the remotest and most desolate places on earth. Yet, we are not the first species to have thrived and taken hold on this planet in huge numbers, and many before us have been obliterated by mass extinction events. When you consider that over 99% of all living things that ever populated the earth are now long extinct, it stands to reason that we too may have a ti...

  This week, we're going back to school. *Sigh*. Like it or hate it (or, in my case, utterly despise it), we’ve all been there. No matter who we ultimately turned out to be, our young years were all the same: full of crushes, awkward moments, and events both momentous and minor that began to shape the adult we would become. So, were your schooldays filled with cheerful, childish, laughter, uneventful education and sugar-sweet dreams of the future ? ... or were you a heinou...

  In the interests of freeing our creative spirits of their material bindings or something really heavy and funky and hopefully non-boring like that, I propose that we on JU have the first ever official "Blog In The Nude Day" (aka "BITND" for short). I further propose that we celebrate our 'bare blogging' on this day by using our nakedness as a metaphor for our spiritual lightness, and pour forth into our respective blogs the light and love this fills us all with !. Yeah !....

  What would life be like if the world were ruled by women ?.   We may never know, but we do have the examples of the rare but fascinating matriarchal cultures still in existence in today’s world to give us the ‘low-tech’ answer to this complex problem.   An example of such a culture is the Khasi (or Khasia), an agricultural people who live in the hill districts in Meghalaya state (North-Eastern India), where they arrived about 500 years ago, presumably from...

India has long been regarded as a ‘spiritually advanced’ country, with tourists heading there in droves to experience the teachings and atmosphere of this amazing place. Yet, as with all cultures deeply rooted in spiritual values, there can exist a outdated faction that adheres to traditional ‘spiritual law’, often with disastrous consequences. Consider the case of the Sundargarh district of Orissa, India, within whose boundaries exists a group that to this day persecutes people on suspi...

On my recent birthday, I had nothing on. Three days after my birthday was our wedding anniversary, and I had nothing on then, either. No, I wasn't naked. I just really like having nothing on. I enjoy the freedom it allows me. I would have nothing on every day if I could. People hate this. On your birthday, and other such occasions, it is pre-requisite of having humans as family members that you must have a fuss. If you fail to create said fuss yourself, one will doubtless be created on ...

My husband, I must admit, doesn't actually read my blog much. It's not that he's not allowed to, I think it's more that he lives with me everyday and won't find much there he doesn't already know. I do show him the occasional article of mine, generally one of the 'art' forum ones, if I'd like him to read it, and we tend to leave it at that. So I've often wondered ... do other JU bloggers have partners that read their blog, perhaps on a regular basis, or even have partners that are fe...

It's confession time, people . This week we're going to dig deep into the dark, dingy litle recesses of your brain, to uncover the scary, sordid, salicious little secrets that you keep tucked away. Well, something like that, anyway. If you're as old and boring as I am, I suggest you make something up. (Actually, my answer to all five this week is yes !.) Have you ever ... 1/ Been arrested ? 2/ Punched anyone ? 3/ 'Lost it' in public...

Are you tired of politics as usual during this primary season? Want to take out your political frustrations in a harmless but humorous way? How would you like to shit on the face of a bureaucrat and not be charged with assault or sexual harassment? How would you like to flush these walking sound-bite machines right down the toilet? Now you can lay your democratic or republican nemesis to waste with just a few wipes . Available in either 'Bush' or 'Kerry' styles, th...

By Jennifer Viegas, Discovery News Three recent studies on sex reveal that polygamy holds biological benefits so dominated human history that it is imprinted in our genes; but that asexuality appears to be a relatively new evolutionary phenomenon that could, in the future, be favored by natural selection. Together the studies help to explain why sexual reproduction amongst all creatures on Earth is so widespread, and yet why some animal, fish, bacteria, and insect species can re...
