Sex, An unnatural History

26th August 2011

Tonight watch on SBS Sex, An Unnatural History

On Love

Sex existed long before the idea of love but somewhere along the annals of history the two became entwined. Many humans then started selecting their partners based on this emotion.

We now know that pair bonding and sex for pleasure plays a fundamental role in the relationship between sex and love – as does raising children, but how and why we have sex and the way we reproduce has shifted. The emotion known as love has long confounded scholars, poets and we everyday people and continues to do so. But why is that?

Julia Zemiro investigates why we fall in love and what it is that sustains that emotion. Naturally science has poked its nose in as well, to try and understand how and why people fall in love. But is it really just all about neurotransmitters, dopamine, serotonin, vasopressin and other chemicals getting released at the right time? What about our heart and soul? Surely romance must have something to do with it or how do we explain the power of the sonnets of Shakespeare or the poetry of Yeats?

Love really can be a metaphysical experience and adding sex to the equation helps humans find an intimacy that will sustain a long-term relationship, but are we really wired for monogamy? Are we finding a way beyond the conventional monogamous relationships or does that green-eyed monster get in the way? Is it possible to have sex without love and vice versa? And where does love figure when it comes to arranged marriages? Or have we got it all wrong by placing too much importance on this crazy little thing called love?

Sex, An Unnatural History

18th August 2011

The nest episode is Friday night 19th 10pm on SBS on Religion, and covers -Why do people cry out “oh God!” during sex? Is it because sex transcends our mind and bodies? Religion has been getting between the sheets since it became organised, but it was the sexual revolution of the ’60s and birth control that brought matters to a head.

Best Vibrators, Specials this month

14th August 2011

I often get asked “what vibrator should I buy”, it is a bit like asking what is the best colour lipstick, it can change with your mood and wardrobe. It will depend on how you want to use the vibrator, for women masturbating and wanting internal and external stimulation the i vibe rabbit ( SPECIAL $90.00 until mid September ) is a must and was Charlotte’s favourite  in Sex & The City because the girls had to organise a intervention to get her away from her vibrating pleasure. For women who want to use a vibrator while having sex with their partner the we-vibe (SPECIAL $100.00 until mid September) is a must because it fits snuggly into the vagina and vibrates on the clitoris and G-Spot. The Rolls-Royce of vibrators is definitely the Eroscillator (Special $290.00 until mid September) which if you read testimonials you know it is a winner.

Enjoy your pleasure and remember As I receive pleasure so the whole universe receives pleasure through me !

Money & Sex

8th August 2011

A recent survey by Relationships Australia showed that income has an effect on our sex life. If your income starts at about $80,000 a year then expect your sex life will be 81% active, compared to a household of income under $60,000 which is only 44% active. This means that the more money worries you have the more this impacts on your sex life.

Also out of the survey the happiest age group is 40-49 years old, with 74% are pleased with their sexual pursuits. So if you are after a good sex life focus on having a consistent income because this creates less stress and therefore more time to enjoy pleasure.
