The books cost £24.95 for a paperback and £14.95 for ...

10.23.12NO PORN FILTER PLEASEA YouGov has found that almost 80% of UK adults with children living at home are against the idea of a default internet porn filter. The UK government is seeking clarification on people’s views on three possible systems of regulating online adult content. The Opt-In option would block porn but allow adults to opt-in for it; Active Choice would allow users the choice of having filters and blocks installed; Active Choice Plus would merge the two, blocking some sites automatically but allowing users to have these unblocked if they so wish. While the survey suggests most adults are not keen ...

10.23.12CHATTY SEX IS GOOD SEXIt’s hardly a surprise that those who feel happy discussing their sexual needs with a partner have more satisfying sex lives, but now research from Cleveland State University in Ohio suggests that talking during sex has benefits too. Elizabeth Babin, the study researcher, recruited 207 people to complete surveys about sexual communication, sexual satisfaction and the amount of non-verbal and verbal communication they used during sex. Babin found that communication during sex was linked to greater satisfaction, but those who used non-verbal communication were even more satisfied. Babin posits that non-verbal communication may be seen as safer while telling someone ...

10.23.12SEXTON’S MISCELLANY: SIX TYPES OF AFFAIRShrinks do like classifying every aspect of human behaviour so I guess it’s no surprise that therapists have divided extramarital affairs into six types. Here they are. • Protest: Prompted by feelings of rejection or abandonment in the hopes of having emotional needs met. • Attention seeking: An attempt to ‘test’ a partner by using jealousy; may be caused by the need to feel loved and important. • Burned out: The primary relationship has been emotionally unsatisfactory for a while. • Romantic escape: To avoid dealing with problems in a relationship. • Hedge Fund: Due to feelings of worthlessness, you may be prompted to hedge your bets by having a ...

10.23.12PHILIPPINES BANS CAM GIRLSThe Philippines has outlawed video chat featuring “cam girls” who perform sex acts for online clients. The law specifically bans sex acts for payment and defines cybersex as the “wilful engagement, maintenance, control, or operation, directly or indirectly, of any lascivious exhibition of sexual organs or sexual activity, with the aid of a computer system, for favour or consideration.” Now there’s, ahem, a mouthful. Punishment is a fine of 250,000 Philippine pesos (around €4,600) and up to six months in jail. While the ban is ostensibly to protect young women forced into selling sexual services online, the Cybercrime Prevention Act ...

10.23.12Romney Vows To Tackle ObscenityRepublican hopeful Mitt Romney has promised that, if elected, his government will vigorously pursue obscenity prosecutions. America may be the biggest producer of porn movies but the country has some rather draconian anti-obscenity laws. Currently, prosecutions are rare, but Romney plans to change all that and his platform argues that, “laws on all forms of pornography and obscenity need to be vigorously enforced.” Porn insiders worry that ramped-up prosecutions will drive the industry underground and protections, such as mandatory health checks, will fall by the wayside.

Some of these are rather odd indeed. Here are 12 strange sexual phobias. 1. Parthenophobia: fear of virgins or young girls. Because yes, young girls are terrifying! 2. Medorthophobia: fear of erect penises. This phobia affects both men and women and includes the fear of seeing, having, or thinking about erections. Also called ithyphallophobia and phallophobia. 3. Gymnophobia: fear of being nude. Gymnophobics don’t like being nude or seeing other people in the buff. 4. Eurotophobia: fear of genitals, especially female ones. ...
