According to the latest study by the Office for National Statistics 11.4% of of women in the UK aged 16-24 identity as gay/lesbian, bisexual or 'other'. Link. Comments?

Greetings, good people. First, apologies if the subject matter has been discussed a lot, and I missed it. More apologies for what may be tl;dr because I have so many thoughts on the subject...and even more apologies because I'm likely to simply scatter-shot all manner of ideas, without much...

OK, I'm not sure if this is the right sub-forum but let's see how this goes. A christian sex education video (from Ignite Church) discusses sex in terms of carrots and donuts (or doughnuts even) and has described lesbian sex as a "pastry party". The video is embedded here. Jezebel commentary here.

I subscribe to a blog by Dr. Marty Klein called "Sexual Intelligence". I tend to agree with a lot of what he talks about. (A big reason why I subscribe to his blog. :D ). Though I don't always agree with him, I think he hits the nail squarely on the head about what most people who claim to...

Interesting blog on the CNN website today... I thought that part in bold pretty much sums up the truth of the matter. I wonder if the auther was also thinking of the Bible when he said, "... most Christian books..." :D > Link to Full Article <

Earlier today, when in bed with my girl friend and doing what bf and gf like to do, I asked her if I was already in heaven. Which immediately brought up the question: Will we have more or less sex, or any at all, in (the Christian) heaven than here on earth? And if not: Who wants to go to...

I can think of lots of possible explanations, but I'd be interested to see what other people think are the reasons for the difference. E.g., last night in the space of one hour from 9pm to 10pm I watched on a national free to air TV station: a man being poisoned and dying of a heart attack...

Oh, I know. It's sad, really... but sometimes you just can't resist. How Christian women can make Christian men marry without using sex appeal When the entire story begins with: you know it's got to be good! Enjoy such tidbits as: and

This is a question that occurred to me while catching up on the "Love the Christian" thread. God hates sex. You can't have sex unless you are married - it's a sin. You can't have homosexual sex - it's a sin. You can't use birth control - it's a sin. You can't show bare skin in public - it's a...

Seriously! http://jezebel.com/5400551/sex-sounds-how-loud-is-too-loud?skyline=true&s=i In Britain! Shouldn't they be giving her a medal? Only British woman that seems to enjoy sex? :D

Ok, a tiny bit of backstory: There were two newspapers available in Tucson up until May: The Tucson Citizen (a local newspaper) and the Arizona Daily Star (a Phoenix-based newspaper with statewide news slightly biased towards Phoenix events). In May, the corporation that owns the papers decided...

Skepbitch has an excellent review of ghost hunter Maryanna Chatelaine Moresby's article "Sex after ghost hunting – exorcisms of a womb or anal ghosts: And when is the right time to have sex afterwards?" A pleasant read.

This is probably old hat for parents, but it may be of interest to others. In humans and some other animals, semen includes a prostoglandin, oxytocin, which is similar to or the same as the oxytocin released by pregnant women's pituitary glands to start the process of labour. Intending parents...

I'm no biologist but even I can see several errors in this BBC article. I'm thinking all vertebrates normally reproduce sexually. Fertilisation evolved before sex? The author confuses sexual reproduction with viviparity. (Or even just internal fertilisation). Many reptiles (and...

Just type will of god into google. I'm saying no more.:D Just pointing out how easy it is to interpret biblical readings to say ANYTHING you want.

Hi all. I've been reading these forums (fora?) for a dog's age and I finally have something to post. :) Some of the longer threads in Religion and Philosophy are spectacular! A good friend of mine's third child is due in the next three weeks. Making conversation, I asked whether they knew...

A megachurch in Georgia got a major whammie from a sex scandal: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21888916/ And it isn't the only affair: But the members have learned something from all of this: This is one of the worst scandals I can remember hearing about. I hope it gets plenty of press.

This is kind of personal to me because of my divorce. During our marriage, I wanted sex far more than my ex-wife did. So that when we divorced, she claimed that I am a "Sex Addict". In the end, it didn't affect the divorce agreement, but it is in the court document. I have to agree that I am...

The ACLU is participating in a protest of the sting operation the the Minneapolis bathroom that netted Sen. Craig. They claim such stings are illegal. http://www.aclu.org/freespeech/31843prs20070917.html

His face covered by a balaclava, an official brandishing a cane repeatedly lashes the back of a man found guilty of breaking Iran's morality laws. Two police officers hold the legs of 25-year-old Saeed Ghanbari and another his arms to ensure there is no escape from the punishment of 80 lashes...

What is "soul".Thanks H'ethetheth! :) Dammit, now there's 11!:mad: Do we have a soul? Where is the soul, in us? When does the soul get formed? Does it come from Mam or Dad? Does the soul grow? And learn? If the darker skined of us have more soul, is the soul in our skin? Or in other...

http://psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-20021002-000009.html :eye-poppi So, a psychologist has concluded that the hormones in semen act as an antidepressant in women. Anyone here know anything about endocrinology? Is this even biologically plausible? My gut feeling is that there's a...

Please excuse the long post - I really need some help here.... My wife has now finally come out and said that she does not enjoy sex - in fact, she goes as far as to say that it repulses her. Even French kissing is a turnoff. This started around about the time we got married. Before then, we...

Bible drawn into Hong Kong sex publication row Bolding mine. Source Yes, I know it will never happen, but I like the idea that the bible becomes X-rated and is sold with a statutory warning and in a 'neutral' brown envelope.

So, masturbation is supposedly a sin in some religions, right? The supposed rationale for this is that every sperm cell is a potential life and that the seed should not be wasted in an act of selfish pleasure. Or so I learned in Catholic school. (Okay, they didn't actually cover it in Catholic...

Bill Maher has joked that Muslims are too uptight and the reason behind their frustrations is their stance on sex. This Egyptian woman deserves some credit for crossing social/cultural norms to bring the fact that many Muslims are hesitant to openly talking about sex into public discussion...

Hello everybody, Every once in a while, I stumble upon or get involved in an argument over weither or not the expression of socially unacceptable (pedophilia, rape, etc.) sexual fantasies should be tolerated or not. And even when this debate goes on between educated and mostly sane people (I...

Sho' 'nuff is. "Convicted of having sexual contact with a dead deer..." Didn't know that was a crime.* :eek: Link. * Not that I would be personally affected if it were, mind you...

I'm watching an HBO documentary that was filmed before the Ted Haggard scandal and in it he says "Evangelical Christians have the best sex lives!" :dl: Yeah with their gay prostitute friends as long as they're doing meth! Actually the whole thing is just very creepy.
