    How comfortable are you with talking about sex?

    Seems like a good place to say one of my favorite quotes: "Physics is like sex. Sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it." - R. Feynman It has all the properties of a good quote: it references sex, it's humorous, and it's TRUE!

    How comfortable are you with talking about sex?

    Sure I discuss sex all the time. I wonder why it's generally such a "taboo" subject, or at least an uncomfortable one. Maybe we are taught from birth to think that way? They say a woman reaches her sexual peak when she's around 30, not because of hormones but rather because it takes them that...

    Can Simple Gestures Boost Your Dating Success?

    I think when attracting women initially, Polly's advice works great for the most part. Of course it depends on what type of woman you are trying to attract too. It works best for the one-night-standish type and worst for the nerdy shy-ish type we all love. Then once you have them in a...

    Why Does the Arrow Ever Reach the Target?
