I think the essential difference in perspective between men and women is whether you think the following pics (courtesy of Longtime Friend And Ex-Drummer Knob) represent yoga exercises or possible sex positions.
Just my opinion, of course.

Polls That Matter
According to this “relationship expert” [eyecross], Australian men prefer these features in a woman:
…which leads me to deduce the following:
Australian men are fucking liars.
That, or they’re so pussywhipped it hardly bears thinking about. (Any man who values “playfulness” over “loyalty”, to consider just one example, is hardly worth being included in the male species.) And history is replete with men who are unable to tell their partner’s eye color after even three dates.
Of course, this “study” could have been compromised by sample bias — if the respondents came primarily from Melbourne’s Fitzroy or St. Kilda districts, for instance, one could easily see why the poll should rather have been entitled “What Hipster Men Value In Women”.
Also, anything written by a “relationship expert” should probably be roundly ignored, anyway.
Old Goats
Ripped from Teh Hedlynes:
A man in his 90s with an excessive sex drive was among eight patients aged over 70 treated by the NHS for their addiction to sex.
Over the last seven years 170 people have been referred to the NHS with sex addiction. Eight of these patients were aged over 70.
Leaving aside for the moment whether a taxpayer-funded medical service should be treating stuff like this (Cliff Notes: NO), I have to wonder what the hell is going on in the world.
I want to know what constitutes an “excessive sex drive” in the first place. I remember a woman talking about her late father, who “had sex all the time, every day, with everything: women, men, animals, raw meat, whatever happened to be there at the moment.” He also raped his wife, both daughters and several members of his extended family. This being back in the 1940s when people didn’t talk about this kind of thing because of shame, he was never even charged with a crime, let alone imprisoned.
I would suggest that this constitutes a sex addiction — and today, of course, he probably wouldn’t face much of a sentence either because, you see, sex addiction is a disease and he is a sufferer. [eyecross]
I’m curious to see how the “sex addiction” of our 90-year-old goat compares. I doubt it measures up.
And frankly, with the exception of extreme cases such as the one I described above, I’m calling bullshit on the whole concept. In a nation with a population the size of the U.K., 170 such cases over seven years doesn’t even register as a rounding error. More people are probably prone to whistling uncontrollably whenever they see a brick, but you won’t see them sprinting over to the nearest hospital for treatment.
Anyway, as long as these “addicts” are not endangering the wellbeing of others — pestering their wives, ignoring their their families in favor of prostitutes and wanking twenty times a day don’t count — my suggestion is to leave them alone.
If, however, they start committing actual crimes by going all rapey and molesting children, for instance, then castrate them and lock them up forever.
Quite So
As Insty would say: “Harsh but accurate.”
More Lockdown Problems
What was that about familiarity breeding contempt?
Three Brits having affairs during the lockdown have revealed their stories as they look for ways to spice up being in isolation.
Speaking to FEMAIL, the trio – all of whose names have been changed – revealed how they have taken to FaceTime sex and affairs from their city pad as they struggle to deal with the restrictions.This comes as the UK’s leading affairs site Illicit Encounters reported a 15 per cent rise in activity in the last month.
More than half of male members (54 per cent) said they had initiated new affairs in the last four weeks, with the main reason for this rise being ‘boredom’ sparked by being stuck at home in the lockdown.
Meanwhile almost half of female members (46 per cent) had made contact with a new male partner in the last four weeks, revealing that the crisis had exposed the weakness of their main relationship and made them realise they needed ‘fresh stimulus’.
So far, the only extramarital business adversely affected by the “stay at home” policy seems to be prostitution, and that’s not going to last long either. When it comes to strange nookie, people will always find a way.
This, however, will undoubtedly be true:
‘There is going to be an explosion of affairs when the lockdown ends – a long, glorious summer of sex. The Roaring Twenties are really going to take off.’
Not Surprising
Seems as though Our Hero Capt. Tom Moore still has some of the old juices flowing:
He has raised millions with his 100 laps around his garden.
Yet the nation’s sweetheart Captain Tom Moore took things from the great outdoors to his living room to enjoy a video chat with Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston on Heart Radio on Friday morning.
Proving himself to be quite the charmer, the war veteran, 99, admitted he found the BGT host, 49, to be ‘a charming creature’ who he ‘likes looking at’.
And why not? Our Amanda is quite a vision:
Just goes to show: even though the flesh may be weak, the urge never goes away.
