Brits having considerably less sex...
According to a recent study, down 20% over the past decade. Average 3x per month for the general population. Interesting discussion here that perhaps porn is to blame: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbKRqQGjadk With easy access to porn, people (men?) are unwilling to put in the effort to develop a loving relationship.…

The Cinderella Conundrum Explained
Well, my ex-wife decided to move away (long story), leaving me alone with our two kids (11 and 12). In a way it's a good thing, less drama. We had joint custody, but now it's just me. This was over a month ago. Fortunately, I have two great kids. Sure, it's a ton of work as any parent knows, but so far no major issues.…

The B Word
Some spicy language, so NSFW, I guess... Otherwise, it's ok. And hilarious... :-) I think we had a thread on this some time back... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLoPXNquIxM&list=PL5782D5D6B610F101 --P

Is Alzheimer's Caused by Junk Food?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/sep/10/alzheimers-junk-food-catastrophic-effect A large body of evidence now suggests that Alzheimer's is primarily a metabolic disease. Some scientists have gone so far as to rename it: they call it type 3 diabetes. If so, look for a dramatic increase in Alzheimer's in the…

Dating Multiple Women - Advice Needed!
So before you sharpen your pitchforks, let me explain... ;-) For the past six months or so I haven't been dating that much, mainly due to my work and travel schedule. Recently things have changed, and in a big way. I've been on a few dates with two different women. Neither know about the other. I've never told either of…

Female Orgasms
Interesting findings on female orgasms: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/4111360.stm OK, that makes sense. Women need to relax... But this was rather surprising: Key takeaways: 1 - Make her feel protected if you want her to reach orgasm 2 - Keep her feet warm --P

Monogamy versus Polygamy
A very interesting discussion (granted, from two males), on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnOzcUMK5IQ&list=UU1yBKRuGpC1tSM73A0ZjYjQ&index=9&feature=plcp Touches on a lot of issues recently discussed here. Including the interesting finding that the greatest indicator of a woman having an orgasm during sex is the…

Sex at Dawn
So, I finished the book that spawned the "Monogamy versus Polygamy" thread. Although, to be precise, the correct term is polyamory, since it's not about one man with many women (or vice versa), but many men with many women. In short, the author's thesis is that we are very promiscuous animals, but since the advent of…

A Machiavellian Guide to Dating Quality Women
From reading posts here for a few months, one thing seems clear: women will settle, whether they want to admit it or not. Because what they are looking for, above all else, is someone who truly loves them. Sure you have to be a nice guy, and reasonably decent looking (depends on the woman, obviously). But the good news is…

Trainer just not good enough
I started the program a week ago. I hired a trainer, because I wanted to make sure I got the technique down well in the beginning. However, it's clear to me that he doesn't understand these basic exercises well enough. He's said a few things that I know just aren't true. Or he's missed obvious things that he should have…

Strength Training for Children
My son is 10 years old. He's a very good athlete. He's one of the better hockey players at his school, and they have one of the best teams in the country for their age (their team finished 2nd last season). Things are going quite well. However... When I was young, I played many sports, and did well. But looking back, I can…

Cauliflower "Rice"
Perhaps this is obvious to most of you. But I just discovered it tonight, and thought I'd share. I was making chicken breast with butter in a large skillet. I had already prepared a nice salad. And this is when I'd typically make some rice or quinoa to go with it. But I recalled I had some cauliflower in the fridge. So I…

Whey protein versus plain milk
I'm starting my heavy lifting program this week. Quite excited about it. I need to eat more, however. I've managed to change my diet considerably, and now eat around 2000 - 2500 calories per day of good quality food (fish, chicken, veggies, brown rice, etc.), which is what I need to maintain. The problem is that this is…

On-line dating favors men
I'm seeing a lot of messages here from women who are confused about the behavior of men with whom they interact through on-line dating services. Let me try to explain... The access to many more women (by a factor of 1000 or more?) is a boon to men. Especially young men who are not looking for a serious relationship, but…

Unable to life each week because of travel... Thoughts?
Edit: Unable to "LIFT" each week, obviously..... I'm about to start the program. I've just found a great trainer and a well equipped gym near my apartment. However, I travel a lot on business. The hotels I stay in have decent gyms (barbells), but not the equipment necessary to continue with the program. Any thoughts on…

Child Abuse?
I'm at a resort in the Middle East. Very touristy, with lots of children. Few Americans, lots of Brits, Dutch, Germans, people from the region itself, Indians. I would call it upscale, so I'd expect an above average educated clientele here. One clear theme here is obesity, especially among the children. And yes, most of…

Huge Sushi Lover - Help!

I'm looking for some general tips that will allow me to enjoy my sushi without blowing out my daily calorie goals. Today I'm fine, as I had a very healthy breakfast and light…
