Unexpectedly fascinating article in Scientific American: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=an-ode-to-the-many-evolved-virtues-2010-09-22

By contrast, sexually active women, even really promiscuous ones, who used condoms were just as depressed as those practicing total abstinence. In other words, it’s not just that women who are having sex are simply happier, but instead happiness appears to be a function of the ambient seminal fluid pulsing through one’s veins.

The most significant findings from this 2002 study, published with criminally modest fanfare in the Archives of Sexual Behavior , were these: even after adjusting for frequency of sexual intercourse, women who engaged in sex and “never” used condoms showed significantly fewer depressive symptoms than did those who “usually” or “always” used condoms. Importantly, these chronically condomless, sexually active women also evidenced fewer depressive symptoms than did those who abstained from sex altogether. By contrast, sexually active women, even really promiscuous ones, who used condoms were just as depressed as those practicing total abstinence. In other words, it’s not just that women who are having sex are simply happier, but instead happiness appears to be a function of the ambient seminal fluid pulsing through one’s veins.

I think I shall add a few ounces of semen to my orange juice every morning.

I’ve never been a connoiseur myself but, of those I know who partake, the majority say it’s best enjoyed au naturel.

Well, I guess that would sort of go with the dish. But I was thinking more along the lines of au naturel as per oysters naturel. You know, no need to chew, they just sort of slide down your throat as you enjoy the flavour. Mmmmm…. I think it’s a sin to eat oysters any other way. Maybe it’s the same with the delicious dollop which is the wierd subject of this thread. Even I wouldn’t have instituted a thread like this and I’ve made a career out of being off key.

Anyway, enjoy.

Cheers

Rob

Oh, yeah, seed. So have I . But I’m mean.  I never give to them. Quite a number of women in the past have made it clear to me that they were up for it. Even when I’ve told them I’m gay I think some of them have believed that all I needed was a woman like them. One night in the kip with them and I’d become hetero. Some I’ve actually had to be rude to. go figure.

Fuck Leviticus! I’m not giving up my two favourite foods. Who was was Leviticus anyway? Some ancient dickhead who, one way or another, needed fucking and a good dose of the old oysters naturel. Yeah. What he needed was a good time. Probably couldn’t get it so he wrote the book of Sour Grapes.

Moses may have written it, in which case it’s probably not all that important that you obey it. After all, Moses was the guy who climbed a mountain to get some tablets with rules on them, one of which was “Thou shalt not kill”, then he climbed back down the mountain and killed thousands of people, and he’s considered a prophet, so you can probably ignore whatever you want to as well.

Yeah, he was given a bum steer and he should never have written it. He was clearly given the wrong tablets. He needed an ecky but was given a bad acid trip instead. That old mountain top drug dealer has a lot to answer for.

But let’s not get hung up on degustatory dogma. In matters sexual I have always been guided by the sacred words of the bible, to wit:

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Of course, being a flip-flop that injunction has never been difficult for me to obey.

Guess I’m doomed to heaven whether I like it or not. One thing’s for sure, if that creep Leviticus is there he’s gonna get a peice of my mind.

I continue to think he was given a couple of computers, and that the ark of the covenant was some form of combination weapon/radio receiver. Yahweh came down to Mt. Sinai on a spaceship. Haven’t you ever seen Close Encounters?

Sadly, not surprising, Rob. This is just one of the deep felt prejudices that would be more overt by bigots and hypocrites were it not for progressive laws that help to suppress them, publicly at least. It seems like we have reverted to a religio-political climate where all pretense is being brazenly dispensed with, no penalty or stigma attached.
