“Autofellatio” What Does Such A Bizarre And Convoluted Word Actually Mean?

Why do doctors use such unfamiliar words? Really, why do they use words that the majority of us can't understand and are unfamiliar with? Why are such professions, such as Medicine and Law, filled with words that are derived from Greek and Latin origins? Using such words makes it difficult for normal, every-day people - such as you and me - to understand what people in these types of fields are actually talking about. For instance, in medicine do you know what an "acute, inner-inflammatory reaction of the greater auricular fold" is? This means that you have an ear ache. You have to love it. We just can't call it an "ear ache." No, that would be too easy and would give us away. We have to call it something that no one has a clue as to what it means. This cryptic nonsense exists for ...

Your Bestest Friend – You

I have a friend, Maggie, who has been my friend since 1968, and she calls me her "bestest" friend as a way of appreciating our connection. It always makes me smile, and I feel the same about her. Often, my clients have trouble learning to appreciate and trust themselves, and I think Maggie's phrase should apply to the only relationship we'll have from birth to death-the relationship with self. Are you your own bestest friend? Whether you realize it or not, the relationship you have with yourself sets the pattern for how you connect with others. By developing a nurturing way to relate to yourself, you create a personal experience of both giving and receiving friendship. (This is also an advance peek at my newest book, "Commuter Marriage: How to stay close when you're far apart") Best o...

Kissing In A Dream Isn’t Always What You Think

We humans show our affection and love for one another, and our passion through a kiss. A kiss can soothe, calm and even magically heal -a child will feel all better after their boo-boo is kissed. In many cultures, but especially in Western cultures, a kiss is often the most intimate physical expression, sometimes considered more intimate even than sexual intercourse. It's pretty much common knowledge that prostitutes rarely kiss their clients on the mouth. This is because the kiss is recognized as a show of love and tenderness, and the services provided by a working girl (or guy) is little more than a business transaction. In Christian societies, a kiss may also be an act of betrayal, such as the betrayal of Christ by the kiss of Judas. A kiss may also mark the beginning of the end of ...

The “Drama Queen” Syndrome

Drama Queen Test: You May Be a Drama Queen If: There are many categorizations of both men and women. No categorization is perfectly flawless and fool proof. Nevertheless there is some truth to such labels of personality types so much so as it helps you to know whom you are dealing with. The "Drama Queen" syndrome need not be entirely relegated to the female gender. Males can also tend toward selfishness, self-absorption and egotism. How do you know if you have a drama queen or king on your hands? You may be a "Drama Queen" (or King) if.... 1. Your daily complaints exceed your thanks. 2. You consistently have emotional outbursts everyday. 3. You shout and expect people elsewhere in the home (or office) to come running at your beck and call. 4. You communicate your needs and wants ...

Kate Middleton And Prince William – Are They Compatible?

Is Kate Middleton compatible with Prince William? Could their numerology and astrology give us some insight into why their relationship is on and off? Numerology - Kate Middleton - 9th January 1982 / Prince William - 21st June 1982 Chart: Kate | William - - - - 9 | - - 6 - 9 2 - - - 8 | 2 - - - 8 11 - - - | 11 - - - Life path 30/3 and Life path 29/11 - At first glance, their charts look similar, the only difference being the 6 in William's numbers which is missing from Kate's. However, their life path numbers, a major influencing factor, are not the most compatible of numbers because Prince William is a 29/11, which is a '2', and she's a '3' - numerologically, odds and evens don't mix well. However, 2 and 3 being adjacent numbers, they are at least complementary. Both will share ...

Porn Use Is Up, Thanks To The Pandemic

Across the globe, the coronavirus pandemic is affecting almost all aspects of daily life. Travel is down; jobless claims are up; and small businesses are struggling. Self-isolation can be boring and lonely. Annie Spratt/Unsplash, CC BY But not all businesses are experiencing a downturn. The world’s largest pornography website, Pornhub, has reported large increases in traffic – for instance, seeing an 18% jump over normal numbers after making its premium content free for 30 days for people who agree to stay home and wash their hands frequently. In many regions, these spikes in use have occurred immediately after social distancing measures have been implemented. Why are people viewing more pornography? I’m a professor of clinical psychology who researches pornography use. Based on a decade...

Skirts, Bikini Bottoms, Leotards, Ahead Of Olympics, Athletes Call Out Sexist Uniform Practices

Women athletes continue to face scrutiny for their looks, from their hairstyles to the cut of their uniforms. Candice Norwood Originally published by The 19th The two-time Paralympic world champion Olivia Breen had just wrapped a long jump competition at the English Championships on Sunday when she was approached by an official who said her competition shorts were “too revealing” and suggested she buy another pair. “I didn’t know what to say,” Breen later told Sky News. “I just looked speechless.” A day after this exchange, the European Handball Federation said it would fine Norway’s women’s beach handball team €1,500, or about $1,760, as a penalty for the players wearing shorts instead of the required bikini bottoms during a match over the weekend. As athletes gear up for the star...

Inside The Messy Psychology Of Sexual Double Standards – Cheating’s OK For Me, But Not For Thee

David M. Buss, The University of Texas at Austin College of Liberal Arts Sexual double standards – in which women and men are judged differently for the same sexual behavior – will probably sound familiar to most people. The classic one centers on multiple sexual partners: Men who are promiscuous are lauded as “studs,” “lotharios” or “ladies’ men,” while women who have a lot of sex get called “sluts” or “whores.” Men who cheat on their wives aren’t exactly praised, but they’ll often get a pass. Women who do the same, on the other hand, risk sullying their social reputations. There’s a different sexual double standard, however, and it’s one that exists between two partners. In my new book, “When Men Behave Badly: The Hidden Roots of Sexual Deception, Harassment, and Assault,” I spend so...

The Misconceptions That Arise From Pornography

Women can engage in sexual activity indefinitely because they are unresponsive with a lover. In porn, so-called multiple orgasms offer a way of explaining how women could apparently be re-aroused indefinitely. Porn actresses moan intermittently throughout the male performance. They build in some smaller climaxes along the way to bring the man on. It's as if women are aroused and re-aroused on a never-ending basis until the man has had his orgasm. Finally when the man is about to ejaculate, the woman is miraculously also simultaneously satisfied. Ideally she brings her vocal accompaniment to a final crescendo coincident with the man's orgasm. Porno actresses provide vocal accompaniment as a male turn-on. Men don't have to make all that noise to convince a lover that they have had an org...

Numerology, Sex, And Love-Root Numbers 1-9 Part II

Pythagoras, known as the Father of Number, believed number mysticism is one of the keys of the meaning of life. "Number rules the universe." Pythagoras Everyone has been exposed to basic numerology, and we don't blame you if you're skeptical. Instead of relying entirely upon single factors like the day of birth, we've found pattern recognition using multiple indicators is the most dependable way to delineate personality and fate. Feel free to use single factors like the day of birth or sum total of the month, day, and year as a point of reference if you are exceedingly clairvoyant. However, few individuals are so consistently intuitive that they don't need a comprehensive approach using pattern recognition to get reliable results time after time. Imagine standing before the largest ...
