Then along came the second season, which totally sucked – and no I’m not trying to make a pun because the show is about vampires. It really, really sucked. The story lines became totally preposterous, and even your favorite characters began to grate on your nerves. It was like even the actors thought the story lines were totally stupid or something.

Well, season three of True Blood so far has started out a little more promising than the last. This season, we’re getting into werewolves too, some of which my wife thinks are pretty good looking, and I have my fair share of female eye candy too to feast on, so it’s ok.  The third episode in the season though, had some tongues wagging about how bizarre and utterly grotesque it was.   It got me thinking, what is the line between sensual eroticism on screen and just plain gross out sex?

Well, I think that this sex scene between Lorena, Bill’s maker whom he now hates but can’t seem to get away from, definitely tested those bounds. One, the women will hate it because he had sex with her and he’s supposed to be betrothed to his beloved Sookie (who by the way is becoming more annoying as the seasons pass for some reason, but I think that she’s just playing that part of her character up).  Men may not like it either, because well, it just wasn’t “hot”.

What happened was a heat of the moment rough sex interlude between these two, with their clothes on, you didn’t even see Bill’s ass which you usually do when he does his sex scenes, and you saw no boobs on Lorena either.  Basically he twists Lorena’s head around so that it’s facing the floor (I guess vampires are totally flexible that way), with blood dripping out of her mouth in ecstasy. Bill screams after it’s over, and they cut to black.

We were kinda grossed out. Not an ounce of gratification from that sex scene!

So many men die of prostate cancer every year, it’s imperative that you are taking good care of your body,and therefore your prostate, and you make it last in a healthy state for as long as you  can. There are ways you can enhance your lifestyle through diet exercise, and food choices (lots of fruits, veggies) that help you to maintain healthy organs including your prostate.  Our hearts go out to Dennis Hopper’s family during this hard time, and Dennis, we will always treasure your movies!

Some men actually experience a little bit of pain and lack of sexual satisfaction or completion if they pull out their penis as they are ejaculating. The other problem is, that while pulling out when ejaculating is better than no birth control at all, it still is not a 100% fullproof way to prevent pregnancy.

There is still some “pre ejaculate” that oozes out during the sexual experiences. While it may not have sperm in it, or barely enough to even try to swim to meet the egg, there is still a chance that it has some in it, and can get your partner pregnant. Then again, there are some people who have used pulling out before ejaculation as their method for years and have not gotten pregnant. It probably is a combination of blind luck and skill at pulling out at the right time. Remember, it only takes one strong swimmer to result in a pregnancy!

Then along came the good ol’ birth control pill, fifty years ago. The archaic form of birth control that first came out actually was quite ridden with side effects, from water weight gain to moodiness. But since then, it has been perfected and re-perfected into various formulas, including the one I’m on personally is a low dose pill, which gives very low doses of the female hormone estrogen and other types of this female hormone as well to prevent pregnancy.

The advent of the pill really caused somewhat of a sexual revolution for women, because they didn’t have to constantly fret about getting pregnant, and could really let go and have sex all they wanted without having to worry about whether baby number five hundred was going to come along. Let’s face it, families were much bigger on average back then, and we know why!

I know for me, what the pill means is the power of choice. I’m not sure that my husband and I ever want to have children, and the pill allows me to make sure that choice remains in the fold.  Plus, I have to admit, for all the complaining I do about being on the pill, I do like that I know when my periods are coming, and that I’m pretty sure, at least 99% that I’m not going to get pregnant from having sex.  It’s a good feeling overall….

Some people look at you like you’re crazy when you say you may not have kids, and my wife gets it a lot worse than I. You wouldn’t think people would ask you about it all the time but they do. I can’t blame them really, they’re just curious. But you also get the ultra judgmental looks and quizzical questions when you say it sometimes too, so we’ve reduced it to only mentioning our feelings if we are specifically pressed.

I think that a lot of people have the misconception that not wanting children makes you selfish, and it’s quite the opposite. I don’t want to have children for selfish reasons, and my biggest reason now would be that I would want someone around when I get older and my family was dying around me.

I also feel personally like in our marriage, kids would put a severe strain on us. I would probably constantly piss my wife off by not doing enough in her eyes, and she even admits this, so we both feel like it wouldn’t be worth giving up our current freewheeling lifestyle (ok, so that does sound s bit selfish).

We also do enjoy having sex whenever we want to. Not that we “do it” all the time now, but it’s nice to have the energy to do it and not feel like you’re being rushed. It’s nice to kind of dote on one another, and I feel like having kids for us would leave a lot of room for us ignoring eachother. I think it’s great the people who can have kids and still keep a healthy, strong and happy marriage, I just don’t think it’s the ideal situation for everyone.

It also doesn’t mean that men can’t file sexual harassment claims against other men. There are plenty of those as well, where a man is harassing another man and causing him mental duress from the ordeal. The basis behind sexual harassment is that an employee feels threatened or feels that unwelcome, embarrassing and intimidating gestures are made that are sexual in nature at their workplace that they are not comfortable with, nor consensual with.

Apparently this is happening more and more, where men are filing claims, in fact it’s actually just about doubled over the past few years according to statistical data that has been gathered. Now, don’t get me wrong, women are still the main filers of complaints of this nature, and probably always will be, but men are on the increasing rise with these claims. I guess this means that feminism and sexual equality has really been on it’s way up over the past few years.

You could view this as a good or bad thing. Obviously, it’s not a fair thing to have happened to men or women, and both can suffer extreme emotional trauma after dealing with such nonsense on the job, but it’s just a sign of the time, good or bad, that men are increasingly filing these types of claims as well.

From girl to guy:

Your sh@% stinks and your farts smell worse

Your obsession with anal is really perverse

However, when I think of all of the rest, your penis to me, my dear, is still simply the best.

Ah, the typical afterthoughts of a self confessed workaholic.  Hopefully he can handle that, and he is still going to not be selling himself and his family short, but odds are, men who are very highly motivated and used to the pressures and excitement of such a high demand but high payoff job, are often addicted to their work and tend to forget about their health, happiness, and the happiness of their family, who often misses their presence.  While men who are highly motivated are usually great to be around, they also find that they are pulled in a million different directions, and that pressure is often hard on the heart, the blood pressure, and the overall balance and happiness, and peace in their lives.

As a bit of a workaholic myself, I can attest to the damage it can do to your personal life, but I can also attest that it feels incredibly rewarding when all your hard work finally pays off and you just get this overwhelming sense of gratitude for what life has given you, and also an incredible sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. I think that is what most workaholics find to be very addicting, it’s not just the money and attention that comes with success, but it is looking in the mirror and knowing you’ve accomplished your goals and that you are doing what you were meant to do with your life and your God given skills.

Urban Meyer is probably feeling an intense struggle with these issues now, if I had to guess, but like most men who are high achievers, there may be a breaking point where he has to make a decision one way or another, and I’m sure it will be the toughest decision of his life. Not that I know that guy or anything, but I definitely know the type and high achievers often find it difficult to know when enough is enough and they need to give their bodies and their minds a break for their own health’s sake.

I had thought that there was a ruling on set of porn films that they had to wear rubbers, but apparently I was wrong, because an AIDS activist group recently campaigned in California to get the county where a few thousand porn stars had come to a clinic with STD’s to force them to wear condoms on set to protect against the spread of AIDS and other STD’s.  They were unsuccessful in their bid though, and a judge ruled that would be too broad of an interpretation over the county’s power to rule over public health.

I suppose that the judge is right in a way. How can you force this to happen when you can’t even enforce what people do in their private lives? Also, if the porn industry is testing their participants regularly, this should be sufficient enough to help deter STD’s from spreading. I almost wonder too if you started forcing porn companies to make their stars wear condoms, would it just create a higher demand and more market for “non condom” porn movies?  Hmm, something to contemplate.

Honestly, I’ve seen porn movies with and without condoms. The condom does take some of the excitement and dirtiness out of it, but it’s still a porn, it’s just dressed up a little differently, so to speak. You’re always going to have people that don’t want to see the male starts wearing rubbers, and that’s just an unfortunate fact. I wonder how the female stars feel about this – if they like it or hate it.  I think if I were a female porn star I’d be happy if the men had to don condoms, it makes me a lot safer then, and I wouldn’t have to worry as much about where they’ve been, so to speak.
