fashion fad drives parasite toward extinction

Brazilian Bikini Waxes Make Crab Lice Endangered Species by Jason Gale & Shannon Pettypiece (Bloomberg) Pimping ain't easy, and apparently neither is being a pubic louse in a world where the sexually active don't have pubic hair.

Tao Te Ching verse 13: does it apply to sexual encounters involving humiliation & degradation?

Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - chapter 13

Accept disgrace willingly.
Accept misfortune as the human condition.

What do you mean by "Accept disgrace willingly"?
Accept being unimportant.
Do not be concerned with loss and gain.
This is called "accepting disgrace willingly."

What do you mean by "Accept misfortune as the human condition"?
Misfortune comes from having a body.
Without a body, how could there be misfortune?

Surrender yourself humbly; then you can be trusted to care for all things.
Love the world as your own self; then you can truly care for all things.


(translation by Gia-fu Feng and Jane English)

heroin user gives her spin

I recently chatted with a young woman who used heroin. She gave me this quote which I thought was memorable.

Whether you believe it or not, I'm not that desperate. Consider it an indulgence, even if it is an addiction. I don't treat it like something I have to have. I've had no choice but to be in control my entire life. I think I can handle the one thing that makes me feel good from time to time. In fact, I know I can.

exploring one's secret sexual persona

In The Dark Garden by Eden Bradley the love interest, Christian Thorne, lays this line on Rowan Cassidy, the protagonist, right before she agrees (reluctantly) to submit to him for 30 days.

There can be part of ourselves that are hidden. Hidden beneath layers of what we think we should be or what others expect from us. Digging down and discovering what lies beneath the surface can be freeing.

I think the more correct model of human personalities and identities is that we possess multiple identities that are contradictory, but true at different times.

While Christian Thorne's line works for seduction purposes, I think Billy Joel's take in "The Stranger" is equally valid.

Do women want sex less deeper into a relationship?

Study: The longer a woman is in a relationship, the more her sexual desire decreases. Men reported no such decrease. 

See "Why women lose interest in sex" by Jennifer Abbasi.

The term "Lesbian Bed Death" goes back to 1983, so it seems like it might be real.

I think there's something missing in the understanding of women losing interest in sex as they get deeper into relationships.

I think many couples have problems around the sex being boring. Boring sex where the guys gets his nut is ok for him, not so good for her.

The University of Guelph researchers did ask the women if about sexual satisfaction.

Murray added that the self-reported nature of the study could have also skewed the results. "It has been theorized that men may be less inclined to admit that they have low desire as this is considered against male gender norms and masculinity," she said. "Thus, it may be that men are not accurately reporting their level of desire and they may too experience a decrease."

To me it's interesting that the researchers questioned the men self-reporting about desire and not the women self-reporting about satisfaction.

What should Griff call his Tumblr microblog?

Publishing online means having to stay current.

What I've noticed is there is a vibrant community of people whom I suspect will "get" Griff's Cybersex Blog on Tumblr.

Being on Blogger (fka Blogspot) hasn't gotten GCB the attention I believe the blog deserves.

However, I'm not going to abandon Blogger. I'm going to keep this account for text and open a Tumblr account that will be more visual and links to the longer text entries on GCB.

Any suggestions on a name for the Tumblr account?

BTW, this Compete Pulse article dated October 26, 2011 shows graphically how Blogger traffic was in decline and Tumblr was in ascendancy.

"I'd like to compete with my mom, see who fucked better"

I'm working backwards through saved material. This is from December 28. I met Cindy in the Erotic Sex Chat "Family Fun Room". Cindy wants to fuck a guy who has fucked her mother so she can be compared to her mother.

By coincidence, I ran into another Asian Cindy a couple days later, but she had a different personality.

One of the girl's I chat regularly, Bethany, has some issues around her mother.
