To this day, I wish I paid better attention during health class – in particular to chapters five and six of Fully Alive. There are still parts of my body that I’m not entirely sure what their purpose is, or how they interact with other parts to ensure I don’t wake up one morning as a pile of loose flesh.
I’m an adult woman, and I know there are, like, three, maybe four holes “down there”, and I think they all do different things, but whether or not they’re different — I don’t know. Furthermore, I know men have a dink, and that they can do different things with it, but I’m still hazy on how the entire ballsack area works and why it’s even there. Or if ballsack is even a technical term. Also, boobs.

The insulting but hilarious story of the invention of the vibrator seems to be popping up everywhere.
Let’s face it; if anything warrants a retelling and celebration of its invention, it’s the vibrator.

No other generation in human history has had so much sex around them. From the increasingly graphic sexual content in movies and TV to the endless depths of pornography online, sex is all around us from an early age.
But despite the wealth of sexual voyeurism, it’s possible our sex lives are worse than ever.

Last December, Indonesian police officers in the province of Aceh clamped down on a benefit concert. Just before the bands went onstage, police shut down the event and arrested 65 people. Most of these were youths in their teens or early twenties.
Their crime? They were punks: adherents of a lifestyle that local governing authorities had deemed to be in contravention of Islamic Sharia law. Despite the fact that none of those arrested were ever charged with a crime, all 65 people were sentenced shortly after their detainment to 10 days of “re-education” in a police-run camp in the mountains.

You can walk through any high school in North America and hear the words “dyke” and “faggot” spoken as if they were okay to use when it quite obviously isn’t.
The prevalence of this language is attributable to homophobia: something that has been present throughout history and has not yet diminished as much as other forms of discrimination such as racism or sexism.

There are a lot of myths and misinformation about sex. But think about it guys: did you ever get those hairy palms you were promised? In reality, sex is the answer to many of our problems, helping with mental health, body issues and confidence. It’s time to debunk the rumours and go deep under the sheets.
Sex is healthy and natural; it may be condemned by some because it’s not always within a marriage, but 79 per cent of you are already doing the deed so you might as well do it for the right reasons. But if you’re not doing it, don’t feel pressured. I only want to offer some things to remember so that when you do start, you can have an excuse to do it whenever or for whatever reason.

Do you love music? Well, do you love music enough to pay for it? Or even sit down and listen to an album for 30 minutes? In 2012, not many people can answer these questions affirmatively. Thanks to our digital gizmos, we hardly ever sit down and listen to full albums anymore.
The inattention of our playlist era is telling bands and companies to focus on individual “hits,” which are instant cash cows. Hit-making now trumps the industry’s old model of signing bands that made great albums. And the music industry’s growing emphasis on quick returns has done away with another virtue of labels: letting bands slowly develop their sound and fan-base.

I have never been one for commitment. I can spend hours mulling over a simple decision, weighing the pros and cons, before finally making a choice and (maybe) sticking to it. It shouldn’t come as any surprise then that I can’t commit to a significant other.
My lack of commitment has never phased me but lately it seems that all I see is people jumping into relationships. This isn’t helped by the fact that I work at a bridal salon. Nothing is a better reminder of life-long commitment than being surrounded by big, poofy white dresses all day long.
