Sex laws

In Pennsylvania, USA it’s illegal to have more than 16 women live in the same house — doing so makes it a brothel.

I wanted to kick things off with an example of a dumb law from my own home state. I’m not sure if the specifics reported are right, or if it’s still the case (as opposed to an old law). But I do remember the topic coming up periodically when I was in college. It was a concern for sororities where groups of “sisters” would share a sorority house.

In Singapore, oral sex is illegal (unless it leads to the real deal).

Let’s be honest here. Sex laws can sometimes be the funniest. It’s usually a case of them being outdated, based in times when public opinion was quite different. And when it comes to international sex laws, I’m pretty “forgiving,” because I certainly don’t understand every culture out there. What sounds crazy to me might be perfectly normal there. But this one? I really hope it’s just a joke or at least off the books now. Oral sex is illegal, unless you use it as foreplay. Why do I suspect only a man could come up with that idea?

talking about Singapore, tourists take note: it’s also illegal to pee in an elevator.

Because apparently we need a reminder….

Why you can’t get a date

Question: Is there mathematical proof that dating in New York is difficult?
Satoshi Kanazawa: Well it’s not just New York. Dating in any large city is difficult. In 1966 two mathematicians proved a theorem that showed that if you have to pick the best candidate… This applies to anything, dating, looking for a job candidate. If you have a pool of candidates that you haven’t seen and if your job is to pick the best candidate then it’s been mathematically proven that the best strategy to do is to reject the first 37% of the candidates regardless, so you just reject the first 37% of the candidates and then choose the next candidate that is better than all the candidates that you’ve seen before. So if you apply that to a dating situation that means that you have to reject the first 30% of all the people you date regardless and then you marry the one who is better than all the ones you’ve dated before. If you live in Iowa City or even smaller town in Iowa or anywhere else then you may get to date 10 people in your life, which means that you only have to reject 4 before you start getting serious about picking your mate. If you live in New York City you may meet a thousand people before you can start getting serious about finding a mate, so the larger the pool the more people you have to reject, more people you have to date and evaluate and then reject regardless before you can get serious about dating, so that is why if you live in a larger city where there are a larger pool of candidates then it’s more time consuming. It’s not just difficult. It’s more time consuming to have to find a mate, the best mate if you want the best mate.

In the mood for love? Although the cost of living is still high in New York, it has become slightly more affordable due to the recent economic downturn. In fact with many singles now unemployed, unmarried folks are taking advantage of their severance packages and enjoying all the city has to offer. With 35,000 restaurants, 3,800 bars, and 734 museums there is definitely plenty to do in New York City. The popular dating site, Match.com, has more active accounts in the NYC area than any other locale. Living in New York does, however require a high tolerance for crowds of people. 
“The City That Never Sleeps” comes by its title easily. From piano bars to jazz lounges (and a few dozen dives of course), New York’s nightlife keeps the city hopping until early morning hours. Nightclubs like the Marquee feature world famous DJs for the partiers who love to dance. Other locals favor the Gotham Comedy Club, which Frommer’s guide declares New York’s “trendiest and most sophisticated comedy club.” 
Whatever your interest, you’re sure to find it in New York City – day or night. 

English-language singularities

The word's out for lexicologists  and it doesn't get more exciting than this.

And even if you dont consider yourself a wordsmith, an event predicted for 10.22am on June 10 is still historically momentous.

Unless youre an ugsome noob

That is when, according to the Global Language Monitor, the one millionth word will be added to the English language.

This milestone will mean that English has twice as many words as Cantonese, the worlds second most dense language.

It also dwarfs the French total of about 100,000 and Spanishs 250,000.

Even so, most of us will use only a tiny fraction of them the average persons vocabulary is fewer than 14,000 words, or 1.4 per cent of the total. And even the most linguistically gifted use only around 70,000 words.

You dont say.

For a new word to enter the English language officially, it must be understood by 100 million people and appear at least 25,000 times in the mainstream global media, on social networking sites and in other sources.

At the current pace, a new word is created every 98 minutes.

Among the terms which could take English to the one million mark are defollowand defriend words describing what users of online social networks Twitter and Facebook do to contacts they dont want to stay in touch with.

Another contender is noob, a derogatory name for someone new to a particular task or community.

Paul Payack, chief word analyst of the Global Language Monitor (GLM), a Texas-based linguistic consultancy, says: 

Language boils up from the people and we see this by the assimilation of words from hip-hop, Hollywood and Bollywood.

English is the global language. It is understood by 25 per cent of people on the planet. More people know English in China than they do in the Commonwealth.

David Crystal, a linguistics expert at Bangor University, agrees that English is unique among languages in the way it has evolved.

I dont think any other language has had so many influences upon it as English, says Prof Crystal. It started a thousand years ago with the

Anglo Saxons, then along came the French in 1066 bringing in their own words, then a couple of hundred years later the Renaissance and the Empire brought words from all over.

For instance, take the words kingly, royal and regal. Kingly is Anglo-Saxon, royal is French and regal is Latin. They all mean the same thing but they are each used in different ways.

The industrial revolution also made English the language of science, and if you look at the Oxford English Dictionary, 80 per cent of the words relate to science, technology and physics. In the 19th and 20th centuries, English-speaking countries have been responsible for most of the worlds new inventions and technology, which have caused an explosion of new words.

When Shakespeare was writing his plays there were just two million English speakers and he had fewer than 100,000 words to choose from. Today 1.53 billion people are anglophones.

Mr Payack says: People went from thinking English was going to fade away because the Empire was dead and other languages were in the ascendant. But they didnt understand that the new technology and entertainment media were always based on English.

You cant have the internet without English, you cant fly a Boeing or an Airbus aeroplane without English. Thats just the way it goes.

TAKE IT AS READ

Of all the words in the English language, set has the most definitions.

The longest word in English, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis a chronic lung disease caused by the inhalation of fine silicate or quartz dust.

The second longest word in the Oxford English Dictionary is floccinaucinihilipilification or the estimation of something as worthless.

Almost is the longest word in English with its letters in alphabetical order.

E is the most used letter of the alphabet, accounting for one in every eight in written English.

No words rhyme with orange, silver, purple or month.

Rhythm and syzygy (an alignment of three celestial bodies) are the longest English words without a vowel.

The only 15-letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is uncopyrightable.

The combination ough can be pronounced in nine different ways. The following sentence contains them all: A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed.

The word robot was created by Czech playwright Karel Capek. It came from the Czecho-Slovak robotovat, which means to work very hard.

Avocado is derived from the Spanish word aguacate, which is derived from ahuacatl meaning testicle.

The youngest letters in the English alphabet are J, V and W.

The oldest word is town.

There is a seven-letter word in the English language that contains 10 words without rearranging any of its letters therein: the, there, he, in, rein, her, here, ere, therein, herein.

Pornography redefined

by esr Eric S. Raymond, gurú de la iniciativa Open Source
Long-time readers of this blog will be aware than I’m fascinated by the semiotics of pornography. Not by pornography itself; as I wrote in Why does porn got to hurt so bad? I find most pornography ugly and unappealing. No; I’m interested in the meaning of pornography, the code it’s written in and what it says about its producers and consumers.

Since I wrote my original meditation on this topic, an interesting shift in the received meaning of the word “porn” has been visible. Consider Domai. This is a site which traffics in pictures of naked women. Yet the front page claims “No porn on this site”.

Consider also GoodShit, which also traffics in pictures of naked women (and, it must be said, lots of quirky and interesting links). Occasionally it carries a link that says “Today’s porn”. Unlike the pictures of naked women, which are inline on the blog page itself, you have to click this link. If you do, you’ll generally find an image of intercourse or fellatio.

Both these sites are asserting, by implication, that there is a class of pictures of naked women that is not porn. And mind you, we’re not talking coy lingerie photos or pinup art here, but full-frontal nudity. Not artsy-fartsy nudity with solarization or chiaroscuro, either, but pictures of desirable young women displaying their desirability.

This does not appear to be an isolated phenomenon. Googling for babes “no porn” will turn up other sites like BadGirls Blog that advertise “No porn” but show lots of skin in presentations clearly intended to be masturbation material.

These assertions of “No porn” aren’t attached to explanations or manifestos. The site maintainers appear to simply take it for granted that their readers have a category “porn” that is more specific and narrower than “pictures to whack off by”, which was certainly what the term meant until recently. I find this interesting.

Comparing the “porn” with “non-porn” pictures accessible from these sites, the pattern of differences is clear. The “non-porn” pictures are typically just women, displaying themselves but not engaged in sex acts. The “porn” pictures depict fetish gear, intercourse, fellatio, and masturbation.

The evidence tells us that, at least on the Web, the meaning of “porn” may be narrowing, shifting towards what is otherwise called “hardcore”.

This, I think, is a good sign. It suggests that a substantial fraction of consumers of porn-in-the-broader-sense are fed up with the oceans of sleazy hardcore out here, and that website operators at places like Domai are catering to this by putting some semantic distance between the sleaze and the non-sleaze.

What we don’t yet see is a consensus label for the new style of non-porn porn. Some of these sites use the label “babe pictures”, but the market doesn’t seem to have sorted out whether that category includes full nudity or not (many “babe pictures” sites don’t). Domai and some other sites use the phrases “simple nudes” or “natural nudes”; the latter also has the more specific connotation of full nudity in outdoor settings.

At their best, “simple nudes” and “natural nudes” have a quality of sweetness and innocence, like old-fashioned pinup art but with full nudity and a totally unashamed erotic charge. In fact, I think emotional tone is the actual ground of the new meaning of “porn”. Porn is not innocent; it always has its own deliberate transgressiveness as part of its subject, and it won’t let you forget that.

I guess one of the people the non-porn porn is aimed at is me. I like my women 3D rather than 2D and seldom have much use for porn, but when I do I prefer the “natural nudes” style to anything else. Part of this is that when I look at pictures of women I want to see the woman, not a lot of extraneous clutter and decoration. But more than that, this style seems fundamentally respectful of both the individual models and of women in general in a way conventional porn is not. That’s an improvement. Finally, all considerations of morality or political correctness aside, I think it’s just plain more fun to look at pictures of women who have not been objectified (or lacquered, tweezed, enhanced, and airbrushed into looking like plastic doll-bots).

I’d like to think this shift in the definition of porn means that an increasing number of porn consumers share these values. But whether thay do or not, I think any reason for leaving behind the heavy makeup and the boas and the spike heels and the colossal fake boobs of doom would be a good enough one. There is quite enough ugliness in the world without making naturally sexy women into ugly travesties.

Why does porn got to hurt so bad?

2GirlsTeachSex

2GirlsTeachSex Even the best lovers are often guilty of mistakes in the bedroom... often WITHOUT ever knowing it. It's just a fact of life. But that doesn't mean that YOU have to! In this revealing report you'll discover the most common mistakes men make in bed... and... what to do INSTEAD to drive your woman WILD with pleasure. Avoid these 9 mistakes and you'll have better sex the very NEXT time you make love... guaranteed... Mistake 1. Thinking She is Climaxing When She Isn't You may think that your lover is having multiple orgasms (or even AN orgasm) when she is not. She may make a bunch of noises, get really wet, and even TELL YOU she is cumming. But is she really? Grab a Cosmopolitan sometime and look at how many articles and comments on faking orgasms. I'm not saying that YOUR GIRL is faking orgasms EVERY TIME but... chances are there have been a few episodes of love making where she was CRAVING something other than what you were doing. When this happens women just want it to be over and encourage you to cum. It doesn't mean you are awful in bed; just that being a mindblowing lover EVERY TIME takes some specialized knowledge. If you are giving your girl orgasms (and absolutely 100% sure of it) then congratulations! You're one of the few guys who is ACTUALLY pleasing a woman REALLY WELL. But if you're not, it is crucial that you learn how... Mistake #2) Not Giving Her a Variety of Sexual Experiences A lot of guys who are new to sex - or are used to having sex with the same woman - tend to forget that women want different KINDS of sexual EXPERIENCES. You might think that changing positions a few times and varying the speed of your thrusting is a different type of sex. But it is not. Women thrive on emotions. Sometimes they want to be taken, sometimes they want it hard, and sometimes they want to make love. If you are NOT talking during sex and creating a strong emotional experience for her she CAN'T be totally fulfilled. Women want strong emotional experiences in bed. Let's look at an example. Women love bad boys because of the emotions that a bad boy inspires in them. It is why when women cheat it is often with a "bad boy." However, you don't need to be bad boy to create bad boy emotions within her in the bedroom. Just be a bad boy yourself by spanking her, talking dirty, and giving it to her good! Women also love very suave, romantic types. Think of the cheesy paperback romance novels or current tv shows (Nip Tuck) they read with that long-haired douchebag on a horse (aka Fabio) on the cover. Now, I'm not saying you should grow long hair, huge man boobs, and start riding a horse... but what you can do is mix up your lovemaking with some romantic sessions in which you are telling your girl how beautiful she is to you and how much you love her. Get it? The skinny is this: You NEED to give your lover a variety of sexual experiences... and you can give them all to her YOURSELF... but you have to mix it up! Mistake #3) Forgetting To Be A MAN Ask any 100 women off of the street and 99 of them will tell you that they want a man that TAKES CONTROL. That said, she wants YOU to call the shots! Yes you read that right. Your girl DOES want you to take control in the bedroom, to flip her around and do her doggystyle without asking, and to do what YOU want! Women are programmed to respond to strong, authoritative, confident men. It signifies that you are a protector, a leader, and a suitable mate. Sure, it's ok to ask her if she is enjoying something... but this is mostly reserved to specific technique when you are "going down". Save the talk about actual positions she liked for AFTER you are done. Now don't get me wrong - you are not making her a slave here but rather leading with authority and masculine strength. Once you start doing this you will be able to do many things with her in the bedroom that she earlier would not do. Many guys often think she is just uptight and her not being sexual if she doesn't want to do something... when in reality she just needs you to be a man and guide her with your strength. You'll be amazed at just how powerfully she responds! Mistake #4) Thinking Sex Isn't That Important To Her If you want to know how much women LOVE sex... just think about how loudly they scream in the bedroom when they are getting it good! You won't ever hear a guy screaming like that! You might THINK that your sex drive is much higher than your girls because YOU are usually the one initiating sex with her. But... As hard as it is to swallow, recognize that if your girl doesn't want to have sex it is NOT because she doesn't want to. Unfortunately, it's probably because you just aren't getting her off. Fortunately this is an easy fix, and in a moment we'll talk about how to do it... Mistake #5) Being Silent/Emotionless in Bed You may think that it is "cheesy" or "creepy" to talk romantically or dirty in bed. (you may think its weird to talk at all in bed) However, women HATE silent, mechanical sex. Why? Let's hit this again my friend: Women THRIVE one emotion. Dirty talk or romantic talk are EXCELLENT at giving your girl STRONG EMOTIONS in bed. And strong emotions = STRONG ORGASMS. Never think that it is solely your physical parts or motions you are making that get your girl off. The most POWERFUL FEMALE ORGASMS are triggered by her mind, not by her physical body. Unlock her mind through dirty talk, romantic talk, and emotional talk WHILE having sex and your girl will experience the strongest orgasms of her life. Mistake #6) Trading Dinners/Flowers/etc To Get Sex From Her Many men mistakenly think that women aren't interested in sex (we already discussed how this is incorrect thinking) and that they have to "trade something" with their girl for sex. This is why you see so many guys trying to have sex with their girl by first taking her out to a nice dinner or buying her gifts. While doing nice things for your girl is awesome, it should NEVER be with the intention of GETTING SEX. When you have to trade something to get sex from your girl realize that this is PROOF that you are not good enough in bed. It is proof that she does not like sex with you since in order to DO IT you have to give her something in exchange. When you are sexually satisfying your girl you will not have to trade ANYTHING for sex but your girl will often sponateously text you sexy messages, buy YOU a small gift, or begin initiating sex constantly. Just wait and see! Mistake #7) Not Giving Her Enough "Foreplay" If you still think of "foreplay" as the activity before sex you need a quick mindset adjustment to change how much time you spend on foreplay. Here's a hint: Women consider foreplay as PART of the sex. NOT as a separate thing! Here's why: While a man is not capable of having a foreplay orgasm AND another orgasm right away when he penetrates his girl, WOMEN CAN! Imagine if you could have orgasms during foreplay AND never lose your erection even the slightest and keep having orgasms as you penetrated your girl. You'd want to spend A LOT of time in foreplay too, right? Well your girl CAN have foreplay orgasms AND penetration orgasms so she DOES want to spend a lot of time in foreplay. As she should! As a rule of thumb, spend at least the same amount of time on foreplay as penetration and you can always spend EVEN MORE time in foreplay. You can never get her too turned on and it will only make the penetration better when you are finally inside of her. Mistake #8) Not Lasting Long Enough This mistake is well known and very simple, but no list of mistakes in the bedroom would be complete without it. But while all guys know they need to last long... they don't necessarily know HOW LONG that is! Well, after talking to hundreds of women about the subject, I've discovered that if you can last at least 10 minutes, most women will be plenty happy with that. Sure, they might be even happier if you are up for a "round 2" after a break in the action... but if you can last for 10 minutes in the first round, then trust me, you are fine! Mistake #9) Mistaking Her Moody-ness For NORMAL Behavior It's no secret that women are a LOT moodier than us men. But if you're in a relationship with a woman and she seems to keep getting more and more moody over time... this is often because she isn't getting what she needs in the bedroom. FACT. As we talked about before... while women aren't usually as sexually aggressive as men, they do love and NEED sex just as much! But here's the thing... if you're not giving her orgasms... then sex does her no good! Can you imagine jerking off but you could NEVER orgasm? You'd begin to enjoy it less and less each time. Eventually you'd get so frustrated by the inabiliity to "finish" that it was just easier to avoid it COMPLETELY! Sooo... If you can't give her orgasms why WOULD she want to have sex with you? The answer: She won't. If your girl is not wanting to have sex with you as much as you want then this is EXACTLY what has happened for her. In the beggining, she may have tolerated sex because she was really into you. Now that you have been together for a long time and sex isn't satisfying for her it is more fulfilling to get herself off when you're not around. This leads to only having sex with you on special occasions... or when she feels obligated (like if a guy bought her a fancy dinner or some sort of gift.) If you recognize any of these signs it's time to step up your sex game NOW before the sex drought gets even worse. And when you do, you'll discover that when you are completely rocking her world in bed, not only is she in a better mood on a day-to-day basis... but SHE'LL start initiating sex with YOU! A close friend of mine who is some what of a love-making expert himself told me something that I didnt' believe at the time... but I now KNOW to be 100% true: IF YOU ARE GIVING HER THE BEST OF HER LIFE SHE WON'T CARE IF YOU ARE HOMELESS LIVING IN A CARDBOARD BOX... AS LONG AS YOU CAN HAVE SEX IN IT! When I heard this I thought he was totally full of it... but as my own lovemaking skills improved and then I heard about the success other guys were having, I realized this is completely true. Women are biologically "made" to be child bearers and select the highest value man to have a child with. Don't you think that the ability to give amazing sex is one of the highest values a man can have? Especially since so few men actually are REALLY GOOD. If your girlfriend or wife is often starting arguments, not wanting sex, or acting "distant" in some way it is time to stop blaming her. Re-examine your sexual ability because the real culprit is inadequate sexual pleasure.
