Men Become Temporarily Blind During Sex

For one man, love was literally making him blind. Well, at least having sex was. The unnamed patient had to seek medical help after going temporarily blind every time he climaxed during sex, the Daily Mail reported.

The NCBI ROFL blog, which is written by two PhD students at UC Berkeley, uncovered the story from the PubMed database.

Women are More Attracted to Men Who Drive Expensive

Research conducted by FindsYouCars.com has revealed that when it comes to buying a new motor, men are prepared to splurge a massive £5k more than women.

With psychologists proving that women are more attracted to men who drive expensive, flashy cars, it’s no surprise that they are splashing out a third more than the ladies on their ultimate passion wagon.

On average, men will spend approximately £14k on their next car in comparison to women, who appear to be the thriftier sex, paying a more modest £9k.

Men have also been proven to be the fussier sex when it comes to buying their next motor, with 67% resolute and pernickety about what they’re looking for. This makes men twice as picky as women in the car department, with men from London being the worst offenders, followed by those in the Midlands.

In comparison, it appears women consider their next car as a more functional item rather than an extension of their personality. Just a third are fussy about the specifics of their next motor, with ladies in the North East being the least picky of all.

It is assumed that while men are looking for larger engines and impressive brands, women are more concerned with comfort, space and colors. The online car ‘find engine’ for consumers, analysed 500 car buyer requests from September and found that BMW topped the charts as the most desired car brand for men with Volkswagen winning the women’s vote.

Whatever people are looking for in their next car, will help find the car, quickly and securely, without them having to do the legwork themselves. Buyers simply specify the car they are looking for on the free site, along with any specific requirements (make, model, age, mileage, price) and the find engine then matches their request with its established network of over 5,000 registered UK suppliers who have a suitable car.

This saves people conducting lengthy online searches, sifting through thousands of irrelevant search results and ensures results are 100% tailored and personal.

Sexing Up Domestic Violence

Does violence at home have a throbbing beat for a backdrop and erotic sex burning up the house? Eminem might think he's presenting a case against domestic violence, but with lines like these:

"Just gonna stand there and watch me burn, But that's alright because I like the way it hurts"

pouring from co-star Rihanna's beautiful lips as her liquid kohl-rimmed eyes show us how caught in erotic fascination she is, we see one long rationalization about how two people caught up in alcohol and sex flame out to a passion-soaked burn.

That's the song your kids will be humming and dancing to while they watch a glamour-drama of domestic abuse amidst love gone wrong.

After watching Eminem's "Love The Way You Lie"video, I wonder if it's meant to warn women away from bad boys, or if the message tells us to be more understanding girlfriends, and thus rescue our tortured battering boyfriends. Certainly Eminem shows himself as an alarmingly appealing, if dangerous, man -- one that can easily catch the heart of a young woman looking for someone to rescue.

Eminem's portrayal is tediously close to how my former clients (batterers) viewed themselves. After years of hearing men deny, justify, and whine their way towards explaining away violence, I can't find a shred of sexy in Eminem's portrayal, despite his obvious desperation -- either as the character or as himself -- to explain away what he admits is wrong, but excuses with lines such as "And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me."

Too many young men and women will find this all spectacularly sexy. The women are beautiful, even while being choked. The men are tortured by their rage, longing for love and peace. Oh, that the women would behave, their men would retreat to serenity.

How about a real-life PSA about violence against women from stars. Who'll play the role of the man whacking out his wife's teeth while the kids watch? Who want to play that role? Perhaps it's time we see what we're teaching our children as portrayed so well by Holly Levin.

Domestic violence isn't just about couples fighting over romance. It's part of a continuum. The United Nations explains, "Globally, up to six out of every ten women experience physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime. A World Health Organization study of 24,000 women in 10 countries found that the prevalence of physical and/or sexual violence by a partner varied from 15 percent in urban Japan to 71 percent in rural Ethiopia, with most areas being in the 30-60 percent range."

Would Eminem make star-studded videos about a woman beating her children? A woman being burned by the Taliban? A gang rape on the street? A desperate junkie killing a man for a fix? Like the man portrayed in Eminem's video, there is no doubt the mother, the Taliban and the junkie are all under the influence of either substances or twisted beliefs -- but no one is putting a dance tune to their violence.

I suppose it's only when it's inside a relationship and behind closed doors that violence is given an erotic edge by a celebrity.

Maybe if we take the sexy out of smashing each other up, our children won't have to witness it. The legacy of domestic violence is a rotten inheritance to leave them, no matter how much glamour we put in the drama.

The Benefits of Sex for Your Skin

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? Wrong, says Dr. Gloria G. Bramer, a Georgia-based licensed clinical sexologist. According to her, an orgasm a day keeps the doctor away (we're sure apples are fine too, but we prefer this prevention method)! "An orgasm is one of the healthiest things you can give yourself each day. From a sexologist's point of view it should be included in your routine along with brushing your teeth and washing your hair."

Sex makes you glow.

It's true – sex gives your skin a heavenly glow. Bramer says that having sex improves blood circulation, which helps to pump oxygen to your skin and make it brighter. It also helps to eliminate toxins and can actually make your lips a little fuller.

It controls acne.

Just as with people who exercise, Bramer says, having sex reduces your hormone levels and balances them out. The result? Clearer-looking skin, along with healthier hair!

It prevents dry skin.

Bramer says that many people tie sexiness to an age. "Women become less sexual as they get older and hit menopause because they have less hormones going through them," she says. Once you hit menopause, your skin quality diminishes and suddenly you may notice your face is extremely dry. By having sex and getting the blood and oxygen flowing, you can keep dry skin away regardless of your age.

It prevents wrinkles too!

Remember we said having sex boosts collagen production? That means it helps to keep you wrinkle-free in the process! Especially for those stressed-filled workweeks, we can't think of any facial mask that works as well as sex does for your skin.

Sex makes your nails stronger.

The same hormones that are released to make your skin glow will also keep your nails strong, especially during pregnancy, says Fulbright.

It cleanses your pores.

No need for pore cleansers: Sex will do the trick, depending on how hot and heavy things are getting. By sweating during sex, you're actually giving your face a free facial. The sweat will clean from your pores the dirt, grime, and makeup residue you miss when you cleanse your face during the day.
