I have a presentation coming up ... can someone ping Viggo or Benicio for me?
I swear, this is only for medicinal purposes. Penetrative medicinal purposes.
[via Penetrative sex the answer to speaking nerves - Yahoo! News]:
Volunteers who had had penetrative sex during the previous week or so had the least stress, and their blood pressure returned to normal fastest after their test.
Penetrative sex was far more effective in this regard than masturbation or oral sex. But those who had abstained completely from any sexual activity had the highest stress levels and blood pressure of all.
Brody also did a psychological profile of the volunteers to see whether they had an anxious or neurotic character, and evaluated their work stress and satisfaction with their partners.
But even when such factors were taken into account, sexual behaviour was clearly the best explanation for the stress responses.
So here's a bit of pondering : Does this mean that Bush don't get no action? Or more pointedly, does this this mean George Bush rarely experience the positive effects of oxytocin? There has to be an explanation for his horrid public speaking skills. Add to that the man has some serious empathy problems, I am going to take a gander that he's more into the blow the hand kind of thing than popping the mythical granadine.
Want proof? Bill Clinton.
Can y'all testify to Clinton's public speaking abilities? With that little lip thing and everything. AND the man is filled with such major chunks of empathy he can and will cry in public easily or on demand.
Want proof? Hillary Rodham-Clinton.
Hello! So what he had that incident with
And that's so hot.
Now ... hmmm .... I think we have to send an S.O.S to Za Teresa to make sure her sentorial boy-toy, John Kerry is not only well rested and alert for the filibustering of Samuel Alito, but is well ... ahem ... effected by the "pair bonding" hormone. Maybe she should try the get-up designed by those perverts at New York Observer; with that 'miracle' whip and everything.

Oh lawd have mercy
So you went there.
What I find interesting about the study is the sexual neutrality of the language. They are not saying that hetero or homo intercourse is effective. They're saying that penetrative sex is what's important. Leading one to speculate that love (nor gender) got nothing to do with it.
How could I not go there?
You're right, though, and one of the interesting things about conversations regarding sex is how often particular acts get ascribed to hetero or homo (OK, i understand there will be no vaginal penetration when I'm getting some nookie, but there will (hopefully) be some kind) when, ya know, we're basically doing the same stuff: Fucking, sucking, licking, touching, tickling, whatever--none of those are gender/sexual-orientation specific, but they become so in popular discourse. I do appreciate that part of the language (and it's something I'm always struggling with when teaching about sex)





























The descriptions made me giggle
Penetrative sex was far more effective in this regard than masturbation or oral sex.
Hmm, a blow job isn't penetrative?
If you don't like me, I'm going to make you hate me.
