May is National Masturbation Month

What? I don't remember that on my Hallmark calendar. Besides, isn't every month masturbation month? Rah, rah! Or is it raw, raw?

Good Vibrations is a sex store in San Francisco founded in 1977 by sex therapist and educator Joani Blank. It was initially established with the goal of being a sex-positive and woman-centered alternative to the 'adult' bookstores of the time, Good Vibrations offered sex information and education, featured erotica and books about sexual health and pleasure, and pioneered the concept of the "sex-positive, clean, well-lighted place" to buy sex toys.

Minnie Joycelyn Elders was the first African American and second woman to hold the position of Surgeon General of the United States, being appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1993. Like many of the surgeons general before her, she was an outspoken advocate of a variety of health-related causes. She argued for an exploration of the possibility of drug legalization and backed the distribution of contraceptives in schools.

In 1994, she was invited to speak at a United Nations conference on AIDS. She was asked whether it would be appropriate to promote masturbation as a means of preventing young people from engaging in riskier forms of sexual activity, and she replied, "I think that it is part of human sexuality, and perhaps it should be taught." This remark caused great controversy and resulted in Elders losing the support of the White House. ... Elders was fired by President Clinton as a result of the controversy in December 1994.

In 1995, California sex advocate Dr. Carol Queen with the assistance of Good Vibrations, held the first National Masturbation Day on May 7 while declaring May masturbation month. So get goin' and have some fun.

Pomegranate Could be the New Aphrodisiac

Move over, chocolate and oysters, there’s a new aphrodisiac in town: pomegranate juice.

A study at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh tested 58 volunteers between the ages of 21 and 64, and, boy oh boy, did they get hot and bothered for this one.

In all seriousness, the researchers found elevated levels of testosterone in both sexes after administering consistent doses of pomegranate juice over a two-week span. For both sexes, testosterone is crucial to raising sexual desire.

The subjects saw an increase in testosterone ranging between 16% and 30% and some other useful side effects were noticed, too. Both sexes saw a drop in blood pressure and an increase in positivity as negative emotions decreased. If only the juice could wash away disgusting thoughts of a nude Octomom from our lives, too.

Previous studies have shown that pomegranates are also full of antioxidants known to battle cancer, fight heart disease and improve blood circulation.

Pomegranate martinis, anyone?

Overeating just to get recognition

OBSERVATION. As I'm flipping through the channels I come across several programs or commercials emphasizing the importance on various topics. All of which contain some valuable content. Commercials for feeding the hungry,programs on the mayan calendar (and how much milk bread and eggs one should have in the event of dooms day), the weather channel, and even the old nun w the eye patch on public access all contain something that may be of benefit to any viewer.

THEN I COME ACROSS Man vs. Food...I simply can't stand this slob. First, I just near vomit every time I watch him take an over sized bite of a cheese steak because ALWAYS a portion remains on his fat face. Second, aside from raiding the fridge he has no true kitchen or culinary experience with the exception being an overly zellous "flair" waiter who overuses the term "guys" when addressing any and all patrons. Finally, we come to the "Let's see how much trans fat can I slug in one sitting" challenge. NEVER HAVE I SEEN SOMEONE PUMP THEMSELF UP as well attempt to SELL THE CROWD on the notion that he's about to march down the field and score.

Kris Angel buried himself in 10 ft of snow and concrete and never once through his hands in the air while this guys tryin to do nothing more than show us how he buries his eating disorder w the spirit of competition! The good news is the shelf life of this " Bison Farmers dream" tv host can't go much longer. I'm willing to even bet he wants to go out in the blaze of glory... Whether choking over the last wing or drowning in a potato pool full of gravy doesn't matter to me. I'll take one eyed nun back anyday.
