On the face of it Saint Valentine is a pretty odd fellow, after all how many saints have days promoting procreation named after them? There really is only one other figure who shares such a dichotomy, who like St.Valentine had one of the most holiest of titles yet himself was the most profane. He too asks, with albeit more subtlety but equal enticements, “Will you be mine?” It is by chance that this fiery fellow is also after the heart, the abode and symbol, of the soul. Both St.Valentine and this once angelic figure are intimately associated . . . → Read More: The Scott Ross: A Devil Of A Valentine So, the Pope, Benedict (the something number) is quitting. Is he crazy? Probably. Who would quit being a supreme religious world leader unless they were suffering from dementia and are unable to continue? So we have a religious scandal today; now all we need is a big political and sex scandal too, and the trinity of forbidden conversation topics will be unavoidable during idle conversation (*cackles maniacally*). by Obert Madondo | The Canadian Progressive, Feb. 6, 2013: Last year, a still-unpublished erotic Canadian novel created quite a stir at the prestigious Frankfurt Book Fair. The Toronto Star speculated that the novel, written under the pseudonym L. Marie Adeline, was Canada’s answer to British author E.L James’ blockbuster Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy.

Sexual attitudes need to quickly change, and treatment of bullies needs to radically evolve if we’re to save kids like Amanda Todd from social torture and early deaths.

While their country is embroiled in an unprovoked war in Iraq, occupies Afghanistan (along with Canada), and itches to bomb Iran for oil, they’re worried more about where the wiener Petraeus [...] A lack of education around sex can lead to a lot of unwanted things like sexually transmitted infections and diseases to pregnancies. For many people sex is a taboo subject so delivering worthwhile information to teens can be difficult due to parent’s attitudes.

No funny blogs! “Some Girls Rape Easy” Wisconsin state representative Roger Rivard says his pappy taught him to be wary of “consensual” sex because “some girls rape easy.” “He told the Journal Sentinel that his father had advised him not to have premarital sex, and he took that seriously. ‘He also told me one thing, “If you do (have premarital sex), just remember, consensual sex can turn into rape in an awful hurry,”‘ Rivard said. ‘Because all of a sudden a young lady gets pregnant and the parents are madder than a wet hen and she’s not going to say, “Oh, . . . → Read More: The Disaffected Lib: Who Says Shit Like This?

The background to this story is that Wikileaks‘ editor Julian Assange is holed up in Ecuador’s embassy in London, waiting for the Ecuadorian President Correa to rule on his asylum bid. It’s expected that asylum will be granted on Thursday. One way or another, the UK has threatened to storm the Ecuadorian embassy and take Assange into their custody for rendition, err… extradition to Sweden for “questioning”. From there, it’s widely expected Assange will be extradited to the USA for torture and eventually death in . . . → Read More: Saskboy’s Abandoned Stuff: England Threatens to Risk War With Latin America to Please United States! Last week I didn’t know Chick-Fil-A existed, or how to say it. I wish I still didn’t. That sack of meat, dirt bag owner of the chain is welcome to cluck right off. What sort of faux-Christianity is it to use the Bible to fill a capitalist business after they express hatred toward a much abused minority group? Why wouldn’t that effort be put toward filling food bank coffers for that same rally day? It’s a prime example of hate preventing love from making the world a better place, and it’s being lauded by the very influential people who should . . . → Read More: Saskboy’s Abandoned Stuff: Chick-Fil-H8 “The idea that an adult man could be distressed by the word “vagina” is hilarious, and also deeply sinister.” – Sarah Ditum Dear reader, before we get to the 15 Crazy Things About Vaginas, I must torture you with my little story. You must understand why I, a middle-aged black male born and raised in a socially-conservative village in Zimbabwe, am blogging about the vagina today. I’m a big fan.

The arrival of a baby, healthy or not, can often put a damper on sex in the city. I remember comparing notes with other young Mums when my kids were brand new – so much nursing and cuddling and living through the needs of a tiny, totally vulnerable person has that effect. Perhaps it’s just nature’s way of helping parents keep staring at their vulnerable charge like a biological safety measure to ensure the next feed and change.

Then people started dying from it. “Antibacterial” soap was lauded by people as the solution to ordinary old soap, and our dirty, dirty world. And couches were catching on fire as potatoes sat on them watching boob tubes, smoking their formaldehyde cigarettes, warming themselves in electric Snuggies. MMMM, smoky roasted couch potato chips!

I’m not in America, for one thing, and my penis isn’t either.
