This is another installment of things that make you go hmmm.  I found 11 things that make you go hmmm.  Some of these ponderables really are headscratchers and make you think.  They may be hard to answer, but see which ones you can answer.  Here are the 11 things that make you go hmmm.

Random
Would you rather live in a neighborhood where your house is the nicest and creates “neighbor envy” or would you rather have the ugliest and most run down house?  I would rather have the nicest house and be envied than have a run down house.  I wouldn’t want to be too embarrassed to go home to a run down house.

Embarrassment
Would you rather get your head stuck in a window while spying on a locker room or would you rather get your hand irretrievably snagged on someone’s zipper while trying to pick his or her pocket?  This is definitely a hard one.  If I had to choose, I would choose to have my head stuck in a window.  This is embarrassing too, but at least I wouldn’t be caught attempting to steal.

Appearance
Would you rather be a woman with a mustache or be a man with large breasts?  I am a woman so I would rather have a mustache.  I could always cover it with make up if I couldn’t shave it off.  It would be hard for a man to hide large breasts.

Random
Would you rather be stranded on a deserted island with a fantasy man or woman with whom you can have no physical contact or would you rather be stranded with a very unattractive person with whom you can have physical contact?  This is another hard one.  If I’m going to be stranded for a long time, then I would probably choose to be deserted with an unattractive person.

Appearance
Would you rather have 14 fingers or 16 toes?  I think I would rather have 16 toes because I could put a sock on to cover my toes.  Also, I could keep them covered with shoes so no one would have to see them.  It would be harder to hide 14 fingers from people.

Ethics
Would you rather always grin and bear it or complain loudly and often for the rest of your life?  I would rather grin and bear it because I am not someone who likes to complain all of the time.  I wouldn’t want to complain for the rest of my life. 

Ethics
Would you rather as a groom forget the ring or be one hour late for your wedding?  I’m curious to find out what guys think of this question.  If I were the bride, I think I would rather the groom be late than forget the ring.  Weddings rarely start on time anyway so it wouldn’t be unusual if the groom were late.

Random
Would you rather never be able to complete a fantasy dream or always have nightmares?  I would rather never be able to complete a fantasy dream because I don’t like having nightmares.

Discomfort
Would you rather always have a cold or always have an upset stomach?  Both of these would be annoying and uncomfortable.  If I had to choose, I would rather have an upset stomach.  A cold could affect your entire body and an upset stomach wouldn’t do that.  You could always get a heating pad to cure the upset stomach.

Ethics
Would you rather be embarrassed or watch someone else being embarrassed?  I would rather watch someone else get embarrassed because it can be funny at times.

Appearance
Would you rather date someone who talks too loudly or date someone who stares?  I think I’d rather date someone who talks too loudly.  I don’t like being stared at even though I’m used to it since I’m a twin.  I could always ask him to lower his voice.

These are the 11 things that make you go hmmm that I have for this installment.  Were you able to answer the questions?  Which ones were headscratchers for you?  Hope you have fun answering the questions.  I can’t wait to read your answers to these questions.  I’ll be back with a new edition of things that make you go hmmm.

This is usually characterized by a plaque or hard lump that is formed on the top or bottom of the penis.This is illustrated in the diagram below.The plaque will develop in areas that consist of  erectile tissue which may then lead to an erectile scar.The plaque usually has little or no feeling or sensation when touched or pleasured.In other word its what we call dead skin.If you believe you have this disease then you should contact your doctor as soon as possible.This can affect your sex life in many so many ways.From low self esteem to discomfort for both partners when having sex.

Causes of peyronie disease

This can be caused due to the inconsistent development of corpora cavernosa during puberty or some kind of trauma or injury during erection.For example boys who wear restrictive clothing then they get an erection and because of fear of embarrassment they hide it in the tight underwear thus restricting blood flow to either both or one side of the penis.

Effects of peyronie disease

There is pain and discomfort while having sex,low self esteem,pain in your erect penis or you wake up one day and your penis is no longer straight.

If your penis is curved or bent to the right, to the left  and you don’t have the disease,then you are  perfectly fine.

It may be just genetics in other words you were born this way.

If you have a penis that is curved upwards the best sex position for your partner is missionary position.This allows the man to have better access to her  G spot.If it is curved downwards then back-shot would be more ideal as the G spot is now facing down as well.Some women prefer men with curved penis because a straight penis has a low chance of hitting a women’s G spot.Think about it.If it is located about 2 inches inside the vagina and you have to form your finger into a come hither motion to stimulate it, then how can a straight penis be able to get there easily.Just common sense.

So if you don’t have peyronie disease then your fine .You got a special gift.Have fun with it.Safe fun by the way.

Please leave a comment.Let me know what you think or if you have any questions.

I don’t think it is wrong to have mood swings once in awhile. The only problem with it is when you lose control of it. By letting it control you, there are so many consequences. It could mess up your reputation, it could damage your career, it could hurt the people you love, etc. That is why it is a real challenge when you are in bad mood. Regardless of what or how you feel, it is best to never show it and work as if everything is fine.

Though we can’t avoid feeling bad, it is worth knowing the possible causes of it. Here are some of them:

1. Lack of Sleep. I believe there is a scientific explanation to this. Just do your homework please. I am not in good mood to research its technical terms for you. Sorry.  I slept very late last night. I slept at 12 midnight and 10 minutes later I woke up again. See? I am in bad mood while writing this! LOL.

2. The people around you. This is where the law of attraction works, I guess. If you are surrounded with ill-gotten people, you would have the tendency inherit the negative energy they give off. I do not know exactly the reason but I often experience this. I feel bad after being surrounded with people who deliberately criticize and complain about almost anything they think of. Good thing, my habitual exposure to them strengthens my immune system. Haha.

3. Work-related stress. This is self-explanatory. Some people feel horrible doing a lot of assignments. I feel bad doing nothing. It makes me feel useless. Just like today, I kept on refreshing my email just to check if I have job requests from the bosses.

4. Your disappointment. Failure to achieve your expectations leads to disappointment.

5. Discomfort. What do you usually see when there is traffic jam on the streets? Hot-headed people! Sometimes you can see drivers fighting, right? Do I need to explain? 

An incredibly rare, medical condition, Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome, recently re-named Persistent Genital arousal syndrome, is so traumatic that a sufferer may experiences as many as 300 orgasms a day, which have nothing whatever to do with their sexual appetites. Sex drive for these poor women, is as normal as it can be, so a halt to the involuntary arousals would be very welcome, if only to allow them some peace.  

Rutgers University were the first to conduct pioneering research into this, admittedly very rare condition, during 2007, after 400 women, from various places on earth, reported suffering from it. A report, in one copy of last year’s Shukan Post, cited a growing number of Japanese women with the problem, one of them terrified that, even her mobile phone vibrating,  could set her off on a severe bout of what had been dubbed the ‘cum cum disease’ in some papers.

The root causes of this awful malady have not yet been uncovered by concerned scientists, though there are those who believe that the limbic system, responsible for the control of both sexual and pleasure functions, mustbe at the heart of the problem. As yet incurable, psychology can help victims, to at least modify the symptoms, enabling sufferers and partners to live with the problem.

Michelle Collins, a US victim, was 37 years old, before seeing a TV documentary, about another lady with the same symptoms as herself, resulting in Michelle realizing, finally, that her continuous arousal was no tdue to an above average sex-drive at all. In January,2010, she sought professional help, her PSAS being diagnosed, at a specialist clinic, within a short time.

PSAS is so rare that most doctors seeing it only once in their careers, if ever, and the person suffering from it lives in a state, where anything and everything can, and does trigger sexual urges strong enough to orgasm almost at once, in complete and direct opposition to what is regarded as the ‘usual’, female sexual complaint, namely difficulty in getting aroused at all.  

Boston University’s Institute of Sexual Medicine has, since 2003, seen about 2,500  women, for various problems, yet only 10 were suffering from persistent arousal syndrome. Trazodone, an antidepressant known to cause priapsm, which is the male equivalent of PSAS, can apparentlyset the condition off, some doctors have even going so far as to prescribe drugs normally used in treating mental illness, such as Depakote, in the hope that they would be effective against the ravages of PSAS, but they were not..

Localised applications, of ice, and even anaesthetics, perhaps hoping that the numbness might relieve the symptoms, if only for a little while, have all been tried out, with little effect. This condition is so dreadful that you have to sympathize, with any woman unfortunate enough to be afflicted. There is no doubt, however, that some, less sensitive members of the male sex, coming across any woman suffering, would think it a godsend for him, because his sexual ability, or lack of it, would hardly matter. For him, this certainly would be a cloud with a silver lining.

As one 24 year old victim of this malady observed,  having the problem is akin to having a second heartbeat, because PSAS seems to have a life force, and a mind all of its own. How any man might feel, about trying to walk round with a permanent erection, is possibly the nearest any male could get, to picturing the enormity of this illness

This same girl told how she had first become aware of her problem at school, when 17 years old. Sat at her desk, she felt warmth around her genitals, and was suddenly gripped by intense, orgasmic bliss, leaving her very confused. By her second year, she was undergoing one to two hundred involuntary orgasms daily. PSAS affected every moment of this poor girl’s life, but it was 2003 before she discovered what the problem was, and was diagnosed.

She and her boyfriend of six years have never had sex, simply because, due to an accompanying vulvar disorder, the girl is liable to find the sex act itself quite distressingly painful. The couple have, over time, learned to live with the problem,and find ways around it, but how many men could show that level of restraint and understanding?

Women like her are forced to live their lives in sheltered ways, doing their best to avoid anything that might trigger an episode. Ridiculous as it seems, this could be the pounding base beat of loud music, vibrations felt while riding in any sort of vehicle, scary films at the cinema, or even needing desperately to go to the toilet.

Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder is, without doubt, a sexual disorder, which will, finally, be officially recognized as such in the ‘Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders’, due out next year. For those poor women who are trapped within the vicious affliction of this so-called ‘cum cum disease’, the holy grail of a proper cure is the hope that allows them to carry on, trying to lead normal lives, despite their horrid afflictions.

If you are new to self bondage and know what it is then you need to work out what you like. For example: do you like being tied up with rope, metal cuffs or leather cuffs and if you like: pain, pleasure or discomfort. Once you have worked out what do and don’t like you can then plan out your self bondage session.

For example if you like leather cuffs then you would need a release mechanism that is applicable to getting tied up using leather cuffs. I’d say the safest way to get the key for the cuffs would be the ice release (below is a couple of links that explain each release mechanism). Please note leather and metal cuffs use the same release mechanism as they both use keys, it is the feel of the cuffs that makes them different.

 ~ Self Bondage Ice Release ~
 ~ Self Bondage Can Release ~
 ~ Self Bondage Combination Lock Release ~
 ~ Self Bondage Clock Release ~
 ~ Self Bondage Silly Putty Release ~

Out of the five selected I would say the ice release and the can release is the two safest and easiest release mechanisms for self bondage because it is pretty hard for it to muck up.

However if you liked rope more than cuffs then you need to have strong scissors or a knife as a release mechanism, most people will have the scissors within reach at all times during self bondage with rope, so it is harder to do strict (waiting for release) self bondage with rope. One of the main reasons people don’t use a release mechanism with scissors or a knife is because a lot of them involve the scissors or the knife hanging from somewhere and if something goes wrong the scissors or the knife could cut you real deep and in the end you could die from a loss of blood.

This is not meant to scare you out of doing self bondage but rather show you that self bondage can turn from innocent fun into a life threatening situation in seconds if not done correctly. That is why you have to plan self bondage sessions careful no matter how many times you have done it or how experienced you think you are.

Now that we have gone over self bondage release mechanisms we can look at how to enhance the self bondage session. The three main things that I will be covering will be: pain, discomfort and pleasure.

Pain.

If you are the sort of person who needs pain in their self bondage then you need to remember that if this is your first time your body will ache from the bondage. So I suggest that you stay away from pain till your body gets used to the bondage and you get used to not being able to move or have limited movement.

A good and very common way to add some pain to your self bondage is put a pair of nipple clamps on your nipples (this can be done by both males and females) but please be careful as skin can rip.

Another way you could add pain is to get tape and uncooked rice, you then add some of the rice to the tape and place the tape over a part of your body. When pressure is applied to that area the rice starts to hurt. To increase the pain place it over knees and elbows.

Discomfort.

Most of the discomfort you get from self bondage will depend on the position of your self bondage but to add more discomfort you have to be careful so you don’t over do it and create any unwanted pain for yourself.

The hogtie for example, when done badly can cause serious discomfort, numbing limbs and blood not being able to get to where it should. When done correctly it is extremely restrictive in movement and you get this awesome feeling as you realise you can’t even move till the release kicks in.

Pleasure.

Pleasure in self bondage can be created in a number of different ways, a very common way to increase pleasure in self bondage is to just a vibrator to your private bits (whether you are a male or a female).

However this is when pain and pleasure can become a blurred line if you are into pain as that would be a sort of pleasure, you have to try out what you do and don’t like.

Hope you have enjoyed this article and remember to play safe & be creative.

The following are blogs I run:

A very simple way to add pain and discomfort to your self bondage sessions is to get some tape and some raw rice. What you need to do is put some of the ice onto the tape and place the tape on your body where most of the pressure of the self bondage will be. The pressure is usually on the elbows or the knees.

- Please note if enough pressure is put onto the rice tape it will scratch and may cut your skin, please use carefully. Do not use cooked rice as it will not add pain but rather it will squish against your skin and turn into a liquidity mix, yuck! –

A 2nd way to add some pain to your self bondage session is to add pins to you shoes (if you wear any type of shoes during self bondage). You can decrease the pain of it by adding cardboard till you are satisfied with how much pain it gives. If you have an old pair of shoes of similar footwear you can take the soles of the shoes out and pierce the soles with the pins, after that just place the soles back.

- Please do not over do it! You do not want to go to the doctors and have to explain why you have several tiny holes in your feet… -

If you use ice as a release mechanism to get out of self bondage then a great way to add pain to your self bondage session is to let the melting ice drip onto you.

- Keep in mind that you can get burns from ice cold water, this means that you would have to find a way of being able to move your body (so the ice doesn’t hit the same part of your body over and over) but still be in bound in your self bondage session. –

Hope you have enjoyed reading this and remember be safe, have fun and stay kinky.

The exhibits were tastefully done with no sign of disrespect to the donors. I never found the displays gross, morbid or disgusting. In fact I found the specimens very educational and very enlightening.

Perhaps my discomfort comes from something on a more spiritual or social level.

From our earliest memories we are taught that death is inevitable. The body of the deceased is treated with the utmost respect, grieved over and finally laid to rest in whatever manner is dictated by our religious customs. Society after all, has laws when it comes to handling deceased persons.

I guess some of my discomfort may come from this break with our burial traditions. The fact that the body has not been laid to rest – but put on display.

Maybe its the stripping away of the skin that bothers me. Not because of what is physically exposed but because of what the skin represents to me.

To me, the skin makes the person. It doesn’t matter the color, the lumps or bumps on it or even the hair growing out of it, the skin makes the person – recognizable. More importantly, the skin offers privacy. Strip away the skin and a body is left exposed, anonymous – vulnerable.

Perhaps then, this is the root of my discomfort. Remove the skin and that once living person becomes unrecognizable – anonymous. That human being becomes a body – a specimen – a cadaver on a dissecting table with all traces of humanity stripped away.

Strangely, even this does not bother me overly much. After all, society has come to accept the dissection of bodies in autopsies and the use of bodies in the education of our doctors and medical providers. We even encourage the donation of organs and bodies for transplants or medical studies.

Maybe it just that I don’t understand the mindset of the donors themselves. Are they doctors wanting to support the training of others in their fields? or homeless people with no one to claim their bodies after death? Who were these people?

I understand that the specimens on display in the Body Worlds exhibits are all donated by the person while alive. Still I don’t understand why. Does that person on his/her death bed fear the natural decomposition of their body and see this as an alternative? Do they fear being forgotten? Or are they truly that generous that they give their body to education?

Whatever the reason for their decision, those plasticised individuals now stand among their peers, slowly gaining notoriety in anonymous silence.

When it boils right down to it, I guess what bothers me the most about the Body Worlds exhibits is that I know I could never do it. I could never be so selfless or so brave as to leave my body to science to be exposed and displayed in any manner.

Body Worlds – Human Taxidermy?

Procrastination is the putting off till tomorrow what ought to be done today. It is always a vice, since it is a sin against the sense of duty. The peculiar force of tomorrow lies in the fact that it is always in the future, and the peculiar disease of the procrastinator is his aversion to the present times as a time for action. The person is continually hoping that tomorrow may bring for him or her what today never brings, the right moment. In other words, the impetus one needs, for the defect in oneself, and not in this or that time. 

This defect is generally akin to laziness. So its nature is physical, arising from a weakness of the will, which shows itself in the reluctance to make a necessary bodily effort. However, occasionally procrastination is intellectual, and is the result of a state of mental indecision which is quite compatible with strength of will and vigour of action. 

Procrastination has well been defined as the “thief of time”. The proverb tells us that delays are dangerous, and it often happens that a thing which is not done at the right time cannot done at all. In a business position, the man who procrastinates causes a confusion of affairs and an accumulation of work which is never finished. He is always behind hand and always in a hurry; his habit is perpetual source of discomfort to himself and of annoyance to others. And this is in addition to the material loss which it often entails. Such a person cannot be trusted or entrusted with any business of importance.

It should be remembered that rarely, if ever, a task become easier for being deferred on account of its difficulty; and since, each day makes its own demands, in leaving today’s work to be done along with tomorrow’s, we run the risk of failure in both.    

If the lick their lips or even if they have a hard time swallowing… You have a liar! If the person is hiding their eyes then… You HAVE A Liar!

General behaviors:

Show an increase of hostility.

Show an unmerited anger towards you.

The liar will avert their eyes.

The liar will focus their eyes – some will try to stare down to show control. Posture:

Show a feigned lack of interest.

The liar will not face you.

Now you know how to catch a liar!

In my opinion the students who are more numerous have the right to a cooler atmosphere. If anything if the teacher is too cold at a lower temperature there is nothing keeping him from wearing a jacket or a coat in the room The idea of charging the students money for an inconvenience is really over the top. As it is they will not be able to concentrate under such a warm atmosphere and it would be counterproductive for the teacher to have discontented students. One of the parents was on the side of the teacher saying that the fine to be paid is justified and that any student changing the thermostat is lacking respect but when you have a majority of people disagreeing, there is no disrespect on the part of the student. I wonder how a teacher can enforce rules in such a manner and get away with it.
