Yes, you read that title correctly. It IS true guys, according to a Montreal study having sex with several (more than 20!!!) women is associated with a 28% lower risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
The "theory" is that men who ejaculate frequently are less likely to develop prostate cancer, and multiple partners means more ejaculation.
But wait.... Before you go off running to your woman claiming that sleeping with lots of women is good for you, know that this is JUST a theory. And on a strange note, the same isn't true for homosexual relationships. Those men who report having more than 20 male partners had double the risk of prostate cancer. Yeah, I don't get it either.
The study has now expanded to 4,000 men and they will do further analysis. And sorry guys... those 4,000 spots have been filled.

The way for a 4 to become a solid 8 in 10 seconds flat
ok.... I don't know if it's just me, but I've seen it a million times over - ESPECIALLY in online dating.
Lets just say you are an average to below average guy in looks. (No judgement here, well... not name specific judgement). There are two absolutely quick ways to raise you hotness score with very little effort.
1. A HAT. Usually error on the side of a baseball cap. Very few guys who throw on a baseball cap lower their hotness quotient. Instead it goes up significantly. Don't ask me why, but it does. And I'm not a bald hater, in fact... I love a good bald man. There is something sexy about a guy not trying too hard and realizing when they start losing their hair, bald is the way to go. But there is also something about a guy throwing on a ball cap - bonus points for that favorite warn in one with just the right shape. Look at Aaron Paul below.... He man does NOT look bad without a hat, but put a hat on on him and damn. Buzzfeed (as suspected) agrees with me and includes a whole list of 26 Pictures That Prove Hats Make Guys Look Insanely Hot
2. SUNGLASSES. I love eyes, like... really love eyes. A guy who has genuinely great eyes and can stare into my own might just win my ever dying love. I promise my love isn't that easy to achieve (but pretty darn close). But forget all that, put a good pair of sunglasses on a guy, hipster, sporty, hell anything but those damn softball squarish shaped Oakley's (you know what I'm talking about - they are not cute!)Think Tom Cruise (who is not so shabby normally, but put him in those Aviators in Top Gun and dayyyymmmmm). And again, I'm not the only one here. This time, it's Lucky Magazine declaring how sunglasses make even an attractive more attractive
So what does this mean for me? I need to remind myself when looking at online personals. Do not make your judgement based on a picture with a hat and/or sunglasses - I might be VERY sorry I did. Especially important on tinder when you are making a snap judgement - usually based on one picture. Instead if the man has picked his pain picture to be one with a hat and/or sunglasses, I have to remind myself to look at the additional pictures before I made any snap judgements.... otherwise I will be very sorry! Very, Very sorry!

and now.... I've seen it all.... Penis in shoes.
There exists a tumblr called....
Your Dick Looks Great in Those Shoes
And it's seriously a series of pictures of penis' in high heel shoes. Seriously, it's a penis... in a shoe.
Obviously, not safe for work, and I don't even feel comfortable copying a picture here. But I just thought you should all know that I've now officially seen it all.

Security Questions for Childless Single People
I have a ton of stuff to do, which inevitably means I'm going to just sucked into an endless stream of random shit on the internet. It can happen quickly and before you know it. You get sucked into some random buzzfeed list that links to you another, to another, to another... and before you know it two hours has passed. Or someone links a half way interesting article on facebook that you click on and read and then find yourself in an seemingly endless stream of pointless articles, but you just cannot stop.
Yup, that just happened to me.... And I found a list of Security Questions for Single People.... and something just clicked.
Every site you sign into these days usually has two factor authentication (big words!), where you have to have a password and answer from silly question or series of questions. But have you ever noticed that well over half of these questions revolve around spouses, children, or similar things. I often find myself scrolling through the list of the questions just to find one that I would have an answer for. Thanks again... for the reminder that I'm alone random website.
Anyway, in my random interneting this afternoon I ran across a list of Security Questions for Single, Childless people on McSweeney's (which I have no idea what the site is... but the list is awesome).
So... here you go, a list of security questions appropriate for us single, childless people!
1. Out of all of your friends’ children, what is first name of the one you find most annoying?
2. What is the make and model of the car you were driving when you realized you don’t actually like to share with anyone?
3. What is the name of the sports team whose statistics you think about whenever talk turns to finding a good preschool?
4. What is the middle name of the ex-boy/girlfriend whose profile photo you look at from time to time so as to comfort yourself that you made the right choice in ending that relationship?
5. When you make a Top 10 list of the places you got to travel to because you didn’t get married and have kids, what ranking is Paris?
6. What is the age your mother cites when saying, “I thought that by the time you turned ____ you’d be married”?
7. What was the name of the street of the Starbucks where you met the blind date who made you resolve, “Nope, that’s it, no more blind dates”?
8. What is the name of the town you got the hell out of when you graduated from high school?
9. What is the color of the fur of the cat who will be the first one to start chewing on your leg after you die alone at home and leave all of your pets without any food or water for days?
10. What is the ratio of the amount of times you have casual sex in the last year compared to the amount of times your married best friend assumes you’ve had casual sex?
11. In one word, sum up your most depressing New Year’s Eve. (Examples: “Measles.” “Robocop.”)
When taking a road trip on your own, what is the first name of the celebrity who you pretend is in the passenger seat with you?
12. Should you decide that you do want a child, what is the name of your friend or friend’s partner whom you would choose to father/carry that child, in a Big Chill-like scenario?
13. What is the title of the song that was playing when you realized that your family’s genetic line was going to end with you and your siblings?

Sketchy message from Sketchy people. What could possibly be next?!?
Today I got a notification email telling me that I had a new message on okcupid. Now, these notices used to make my heart skip a beat and get really excited...
NO MORE!
Sometimes I get the strangest emails. Just today alone, I got the following:
1. Mr. L (names are changed to protect the innocent... although I'm not 100% sure these guys are actually INNOCENT!)
--> Mr. L's basic stats look good. Nothing too outstanding, but ok nonetheless. He even has stated that he's a non-smoker - which is a huge deal for me. I can't date a smoker, no ifs ands or butts (pun intended, I guess). The smell is smoke is gross and just seems to permeate everything - god forbid my hair is down that day. I need multiple washes to get the smell of smoke out of my hair -- and my hair is thick and curly and seems to just absorb the smell more than most! So anyway, this guy "claims" to not smoke in his basic information - BUT the main profile picture is him with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.... DELETE, on to the next...
2. Mr. MIA/Cougar Hunter
--> The time is 1:35 pm. In quick succession I get two emails (one at 1:35 and a second at 1:36). Nice enough emails and I can forgive two emails in quick succession. Because I was busy, I looked at the email(s) really quickly and moved on. The first email asked if I was interested in a younger man. Younger, I can live with that. But he was 18 (EIGHTEEN), that makes his barely legal, and nearly half my age, tonight I went back to the account to be nice and say thanks but no thanks, and guess whose profile magically no longer exists. Yup, Mr. MIA. Cheater much?..... DELETE, on to the next...
3. Crazy Cat MAN
-Email #3 came a little later and wasn't exactly looking promising (24, not geographically desirable, and low match percentage (50%), and while I question the okcupid's match percentage calculator - I don't totally ignore it. But oh god, the pictures.... Picture #1 is of the Crazy Cat man with a freaky looking hairless cat on his shoulder - a hairless cat, they look like giant rats!!; Picture #2 was him "juggling" a hammer in front of a bounce house (it's like one of those Highlights "how many things can you find wrong with this picture); Picture #3 is a huge picture of his hookah stating how how much he LOVES hookah. .... DELETE.
Maybe tomorrow's emails will be better?!?
Be happy and stay happy in marriage and/or relationships
It's important to be happy - and yet, most of the crap I put on this website isn't based in trying to help people become (and stay) happy. But why not? Today, I found this list of 7 things that people who maintain a happy marriage do. Now, I don't think this list has to be just for MARRIED folks, but can really relate to all relationships.
As always, the list I found on The Stir is in regular print with my thoughts/observations/obnoxious comments in italic.
1) Have inside jokes and rituals
Nothing is better than having inside jokes with the one(s) you love. Being able to share a knowing phrase, word or even roll of the eyes just connects the two of you and keeps the world out.
2) Check in with each other during the day
Nothing is better than that beep or vibrate of a text coming through on your phone, especially when your tension is at an all time high. Then you glance down and see the familiar name and you cant help but smile. It doesn't take much, just a simple "Hi, I'm thinking about you." or "Good Morning, good luck on that presentation." Just a short message just reminds your love that you are thinking about them.
3) Say "thank you"
Two simple words.... Thank and You. Use them aggressively and often. If someone takes the time and effort to do things ... even if they don't expect it, a thank you is very much appreciated.
4) Let things go
Most arguments really mean very little. They seem like huge deals at the time, but in the grand scheme of things, what does it really mean if someone leaves their socks on the floor, the toilet seat up, or the toilet paper going the wrong way (not sure why all three of those things revolved around the bathroom....). More often than not the argument isn't worth it at all.
5) Bring things up (voice your concerns)
Easy. Communication. No relationship (of any kind) can exist at a deeper level without honest and open communication. Something bothering you? Bring it up, not during times of stress - but instead in times of calm where you can just discuss something that is bothering you. If you don't, those thoughts just pile up in your head until you literally explode in a horrible argument (see #4 again!)
6) Volunteer together
Good people do good things. Doing good things together and you have something to talk about and feel good about each other!
7) Be humbled, can't be "cool" all the time

Boobs are hazardous to your health...
File this under brilliant, even if it probably wasn't the best idea. A Russian advertising agency that sells mobile advertising placed on trucks (think traveling billboards), came up with a brilliant idea to advertise their services. Unfortunately, there was a bit of a negative effect.
Here is the billboard...
Did you give it a second look? A third? Probably stared at a little bit. Well, you aren't alone!
In the FIRST day that the traveling billboard was on display on 30 trucks around Moscow, it caused over 517 traffic accidents. FIVE HUNDRED.
The text (which I'm sure very few people actually noticed) says, "They Attract"
The Advertising Agency, "Sarafan Advertising Agency" said, "We wanted to draw attention to this new format with this campaign." Well, attention it did attract! The Agency has offered to compensate and cover any damaged caused to personal vehicles that are aren't covered by insurance.
And again, we learn... Sex sells.

It's not just me! There is an epidemic of men posing with tigers.
So... the other day I posted my complaint about all the pictures that men post with freaking tigers on online dating profiles....
Well, I'm not the only one who has noticed that.
I share with you...

Can we please give the phone a break.... at least while you are having sex.
Today, The Frisky posted a series of pictures that were posted on Whisper - a site where people can post their deepest darkest secrets anonymously. That's fun and all, but The Frisky pulled a series of secrets about people answering or being on their phones while doing the dirty.
First, is nothing sacred anymore? Not the secrets (those are entertaining to read for me at least)... BUT seriously people, why the hell are you answering your phone or playing on it during a sex act? Can't you disconnect for an hour (or 30 seconds with many guys...)?
Anyway, enjoy the secrets. Judge away. They are anonymous so it doesn't matter anway.
