Do You Know Wine?
• In 1801, Thomas Jefferson spent 12% of his $25,000 Presidential salary on wine.
• There are over 5,000 wine grape varieties in the world—many of which have multiple names.
• The Book of Jonah is the only book in the Old Testament that contains no reference to wine or the vine.
• The Romans mixed lead with wine to improve preservation, flavor, and texture. Unfortunately, lead is poisonous.
• Of the wine sold in restaurants, 55% is red wine.
• Red wine becomes lighter in color as it ages, but white wine becomes darker.
• There are more chemical compounds in wine than in blood.
• There are about 44 million bubbles in a bottle of sparkling wine.
• 90% of wine produced in America comes from California.
• Airén is the world’s most widely planted grape variety in terms of area planted; it is grown primarily in Spain where it is used to make white wine and brandy.
• And finally, a Latin proverb: “It is well to remember that there are five reasons for drinking: the arrival of a friend; one’s present or future thirst; the excellence of the wine; or any other reason.”

Diet Influences Your Semen's Taste And Smell
Like your other bodilly secretions, semen's taste and smell is affected directly by what you eat and drink. Like you may notice, the taste of your female partner's vaginal secretions is also linked to what she eats or drinks. Have you ever noticed that if you eat a meal consisting of onions or garlic, the smell seems to escape from your skin pores the next day? Your cum is the same way and although the specific taste or odor may be difficult to detect, it does have an influence on the overall taste.
While there's no scientific evidence to back these tips up, there are anecdotal reports and common sense. Changing your diet and intake of other chemicals into your body will have an effect on your body's output, including your semen. Most techniques or supplements to alter the flavor of semen aim to increase the amount of sugars in it, and sometimes mask the saltiness and other tastes with another flavor.
Passing The Taste Test
It will come as a disappointment to most party animals, but the best way to produce better tasting jizz is to live free of consuming toxins.You will need to take it easy when it comes to consuming your favorite vices - alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, and junk food will really put a strain on your production of great tasting man chowder. It's been said that vegetarians, both men and women, have better tasting bodilly secretions, so you may want to steer clear of red meat, fish, and dairy. The secret to great tasting cum is to eat plenty of fresh fruits and veggies. What should you drink? Loads of juice and water.
Many people recommend eating pineapple or drinking pineapple juice to make your cum taste sweeter. Citrus fruits and cranberry juice are also recommended, possibly because they make the body's pH more acidic, counteracting the alkalinity of semen that contributes to its "bleachy" quality. Any fruit or fruit juice high in sugar content, like apple, melon, mango, or grape, may increase the amount of sugars put out in your semen. Parsley, wheatgrass, and celery have been recommended for sweeter semen as well, perhaps because of the chlorophyll in them.

Top 10 Reasons Not to Sleep with Him
As the weather outside grows cooler, you may be tempted to heat things up indoors. Forget cuddling – it’s time for something steamier. But look before you leap… because your new flame could be your next mistake. Here are 10 very good reasons not to knock boots with him...
Call it the curse (and blessing) of Sex and the City. Guys finally got the message that just because a woman wants to get naked with him doesn’t mean she wants a marriage proposal. However, it also advanced the idea of unemotional sex, which according to science is more difficult than it seems.
In her book Unhooked: How Young Women Pursue Sex, Delay Love and Lose at Both (Riverhead Hardcover, 2007), author Laura Sessions Stepp highlights research studies that conclude having sex releases a different set of brain chemicals in women than men. Specifically, women get a large dose of oxytocin, the hormone that makes you want to bond and create relationships. Men don’t get the oxytocin warm-fuzzies because of testosterone, making it easier for them to “love and leave,” at least biologically speaking.
Stepp says that evolution has hard-wired us for these tendencies, which can be confusing in our sexually liberated world. So be warned: You may want the sex to be casual… but you could end up with a serious case of attachment.
Why is this your problem, you may ask? You’re not the one being unfaithful. But do you really want to be the “other woman"? The one who breaks up a relationship and causes another woman’s heartbreak? We’re guessing not.
Even the sneakiest guy can give away clues that he’s taken:
“Taking” isn’t always about money. A guy can be a taker in other ways – time, attention, your sexual generosity.
But first, the money: There’s no right or wrong about who pays for dates, as long as you’re both okay with the arrangement. However, if you open your wallet more often than you’d like and you’ve expressed this to him, then it’s probably time to cash in and call it quits.
He may also exploit your attraction in other ways. Can you pick him up from the airport? (Cabs cost so much!) Do his laundry? (He’s out of soap.) Host a couple of his buddies to watch the game? (You’re such a good cook.) Buy his mom a birthday present? (He has no idea what to get.) If any of these sound familiar, you’ve got a taker.
Unfortunately, this attitude usually continues in the bedroom. Don’t expect this guy to be attentive to your needs and preferences – most likely, his pleasure comes first and probably last.
It’s true that some women like this quality. But too often clingy turns into possessive, demanding and selfish.
Beware of someone who moves at the speed of light when trying to win you over. It’s usually a sign that he’s uncomfortable being by himself, or he’s looking for a woman to help solve his problems. Asking for intimacy too quickly or spilling loads of very personal information could be acts of desperation, and that’s definitely a bad sign in a significant other.
Signs that he’s clingy include:
Timing can be everything. While a rebound relationship might work out for the best, a recent breakup is usually a big, glaring red flag. If you’ve been through a bad split, you know that it takes a long time to completely recover. And if your guy is newly single, he’s still going through the recovery process.
Most likely, he’s not ready for another long-term commitment, even if he thinks he is. Without knowing it, he may be seeking another relationship to prove to himself that he is still desirable and worthy of love and affection… especially if he didn’t initiate the breakup. He could also be looking for validation that he wasn’t at fault.
In short, he may be using you to fill his loneliness, whether he realizes it or not. Of course, guys aren’t always that introspective and may take a far simpler approach. You know those movies in which a guy’s buddies tell him he has to “nail some chick” to heal his broken heart? Don’t be that chick. Not unless you’re 100% sure your interest in him lies only below the belt.
Alas, usually you don’t discover this until you’re already in bed. However, there are clues that you’re in for a ho-hum hump.
First, think twice if he’s a bad kisser. Men who are terrible kissers are rarely good in bed. Perhaps it’s because they never learned proper technique, or they think they kiss just fine. If it’s the latter, he’s not going to be receptive to constructive criticism in bed.
Also, does he seem more interested in “scoring” than in you? Some guys are simply looking to add another notch to their bedpost. Men like this probably won’t take the time to find out what works for you between the sheets. Instead of a steamy, sexy romp, you could get a “wham-bam, thank ya, ma’am.”
Beware of factors that could take the wind out of his sails: he smokes, he’s taking medications for depression, he has a big belly, he’s not getting enough sleep. Any or all of these could result in erectile dysfunction. Unless he’s willing to compensate with other activities, your night of passion won’t end with a bang.
Unfortunately, women are more susceptible to STDs than men. It has nothing to do with promiscuity; women are simply more vulnerable to infection than men because of our anatomy. It’s easier for men to transmit infections to women than vice versa. STDs are also more difficult to detect in women.
There are more than 25 known STDs – some curable (chlamydia, gonorrhea), some not (HPV, herpes, HIV/AIDS). Many can be transmitted through oral sex – you’re not playing it any safer that way. In fact, having unprotected oral sex puts you at especially high risk for gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, and hepatitis B. Condoms offer partial but not total protection against genital warts and genital herpes.
All this is enough to make a girl stay home and exclusively date Ben & Jerry. However, there’s no reason to swear off sex. Just go armed with condoms and questions about your future bedmate’s sexual history.
There are SO many reasons why this is a big don’t. Being intoxicated usually results in regrettable behavior and poor decisions. Like swinging from a chandelier… or forgoing a condom.
Between STDs, pregnancy risks and generally unscrupulous guys, being drunk isn’t the best time to make decisions about whom to, ahem, open yourself up to.
Those three Long Island iced teas may give you the courage to approach the hot guy you’ve been eyeing. But how do you know he really likes you? After all, your judgment is impaired. To him, you could be the slutty, sloshed girl who he hopes won’t puke in his bed.
Need another reason not to boink while under the influence? In the era of Web cams and sex tapes, your drunken fling may not stay private.
The same issues from #5 apply to women, too. Break-ups are painful, and too often we try to forget that pain by getting naked with a new guy. However, jumping back into the dating scene may not be the bandage your broken heart needs, says Sandra Ann Miller, author of A Girlfriend’s Guide to Getting Over Him (SAME Ink, 2006). And sleeping with someone else isn’t revenge on your ex… unless your new flame is George Clooney.
“Put yourself on a guy diet for a while, and put all the attention on yourself,” Miller says. Hang out with friends, pick up interests or hobbies that have been neglected – in general, get to know yourself again.
As for the new guy, if he’s as great as you think, he won’t shut you out for not putting out. Become friends first, so when you’re ready to take it to the next level, you’ll know it’s for the right reason.
Sometimes we sleep with people we’re simply not attracted to. Maybe you’re lonely, bored or looking for confirmation that you’re desirable. In which case, you’re using him.
Despite positive portrayals of strong, sexy women who bed down with men casually, this may not be good for your mental health, particularly if you’re feeling vulnerable enough to have sex with a guy you don’t even like. In that case, the only person you’ll end up hurting is you.
You might think that shagging someone you don’t like will make you feel attractive and empowered, but those feelings are fleeting. Chances are you’ll actually end up feeling used, empty or guilty. The underlying problem hasn’t been addressed. And what about his feelings? You may not be attracted to him, but he could be hoping to develop a relationship with you.
Seek out a therapist’s help; he or she can help you figure out why you’re engaging in potentially destructive behavior.

Even the sneakiest guy can give away clues that he’s taken:
- He only gives you his cell phone number and always leaves the room to take calls.
- He’s quick to suggest hanging out at your place but never offers up his own digs.
- He avoids taking you to certain neighborhoods (and not because they’re dangerous).
- Suddenly no one has a name. He was out with “the guys” or “people from work.”
- He becomes defensive when you ask him questions about his weekend plans, where he hangs out, etc.

Signs that he’s clingy include:
- He calls you several times a day and wants to talk for hours at a time, even when you have important things to do.
- He becomes short-tempered or whiny when you want to spend time with anyone else.
- He’s excessively close to his mom (or both parents). He may be expecting you to mother him the way she does.

I Like Men Who Make Me Laugh
Laughing or cheerful
rident \RYD-uhnt\ (adjective) - Laughing; cheerful.
"The rident atmosphere in the development department was a positive change from the dour, depressing climate Albert left behind in accounting."
From Latin ridere (to laugh) which is also the source of ridiculous, deride, and risible.

Stay Healthy
No, anyone can contract AIDS. One possibility for the misconception that AIDS infects only homosexual men is that AIDS was termed Gay Related Immune Deficiency Syndrome when it was first recognized in 1981 (it was subsequently renamed after it was recognised that there were methods of transmission other than male-male intercourse). HIV appears to have entered the United States around the late 1960s and seems to have then been unknowingly spread by people throughout the U.S. and Europe. In a survey on AIDS conducted in 1983 in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom a slight majority of those infected with HIV were male homosexuals (58% of all cases).
Be Safe
There is currently no vaccine against HIV or AIDS. The only known methods of prevention are based on avoiding exposure to the virus or, failing that, on an antiviral treatment directly after a highly significant exposure. Also, not a single case has been documented in which systemic HIV infection has been cured and even on the theoretical level, no plausible way of eradicating HIV infection has so far been found. Treatment for HIV can suppress viral replication to a degree sufficient to apparently stop disease progression, but success is critically dependent on the patients ability to keep perfect adherence to their drug schedule, which many people will fail to achieve.
How is HIV or AIDS transmitted?
HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk. This transmission can come in the form of anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated needles, exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.
Public Service Announcement
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS or Aids) is a collection of symptoms and infections in humans resulting from the specific damage to the immune system caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The late stage of the condition leaves individuals prone to opportunistic infections and tumors. Although treatments for AIDS and HIV exist to slow the virus's progression, there is no known cure.
Careful
What Would Carolyn Say About Me?
I'm not going to insist that he come with me, but I was pretty taken aback by this attitude. I wish he would be there because my friend and her husband will likely be in our lives for years and I want him to be part of this memory. It's local and will cost us almost nothing to attend.
I get that not everyone enjoys weddings (and my fiance is particularly impatient with them), but isn't this bad sportsmanship?
-- CaliforniaHe sounds like a weenie. Marrying him is a good idea, you're sure?
For what it's worth, I'm not sold on the "want him to be part of this memory" argument; it's squishy, for one, plus it suggests you're working harder than necessary to justify wanting him there ("bestest, bestest friend"). This is a celebration of someone very important to you, and you'd like your fiance to give a spit, or just half of one, if only on your behalf. The "bad sportsmanship" angle sounds right to me.
10 Flirting Tips
Whether you're making your way back into the single life, want to be more comfortable talking to potential suitors, or just need to add some spice to your relationship, a few simple flirting tips should put you on the road to romance...Flirting can add a little fun and spark to any relationship.
Although many people and websites make flirting sound like a sophisticated art, it's really just a guide to help break the ice, loosen up a bit and maybe even be a little suggestive.
Don’t forget that most guys don't read body language and "signs" as much as women do.
While it may feel as though your flirting is giving clear signals, he may not be interpreting them.
Just remember that guys don’t always pick up on subtlety; he may simply be missing out on the reason you are always so friendly.
Here are 10 simple flirting tips to make your efforts a success:

Just remember that guys don’t always pick up on subtlety; he may simply be missing out on the reason you are always so friendly.
Here are 10 simple flirting tips to make your efforts a success:
1. Make it fun. Don’t put pressure on yourself to go up to someone at a party, social event, or anywhere else with the idea that you are going to impress him or get him to ask you out.
Many men approach women with the goal of getting their phone number, but this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, either.
Just because someone looks great doesn’t mean they are great.
Make the goal be the flirting, and let it be fun.
2. Don’t forget to smile. Not only does smiling make you look more attractive, it gives you that twinkle in your eye and it makes you and anyone you are smiling at feel relaxed.
3. Make eye contact. Of course, there is a difference between making eye contact and staring.
You certainly do not want to stare at the person you are flirting with; you simply want him or her to be aware that you are noticing, and noting this person's words and actions.

You certainly do not want to stare at the person you are flirting with; you simply want him or her to be aware that you are noticing, and noting this person's words and actions.
Studies have shown that strangers of the opposite sex feel some sort of connection after staring at each other directly in the eye.
You can use this anomaly to your advantage.
Just look the person you are flirting with directly in the eye and make him or her feel more connected to you.
4. Don’t be afraid to initiate a conversation. Guys love it when women initiate a conversation.
Guys get just as nervous and worked up as women when it comes to flirting and meeting new people, so guys appreciate and notice the rare occasion when a woman makes the first move.
This is especially effective after there has been across-the-room eye contact.
5. Don’t take yourself too seriously. It's a great characteristic to have a sense of humor.
It shows a lot of character when you are able to laugh at yourself.

Also, that cute guy you have pulled aside won’t feel he's under a microscope if you show that you have a sense of humor.
Besides, who doesn’t love to laugh?

By paying attention to your appearance and using these flirting tips you should be able to attract the attention of any guy in the room.
Of course, you should dress appropriately for whatever setting you are in, but paying attention to the small details of your appearance should get you noticed.

8. Ask questions. Everyone loves to talk about themselves, and asking open-ended questions provides an easy way for others to open up and for you to find out more about the person.
The question-asking should be balanced, though. The conversation should not turn into an interview.
9. Don’t underestimate the power of body language. Experts estimate that 85% of communication is non-verbal.
If you do not believe this, you should try muting your television and flipping through the channels for a minute or two. You will probably get the idea of what is happening on every show without hearing a single word.
Considering this, you cannot afford to overlook the power of body language.
There are a lot of movements and gestures to indicate you are interested in the person you're talking to.
Playing with your hair or biting your bottom lip are attractive gestures to guys and give them encouragement, whether they realize it or not.

A light touch on the forearm or shoulder can be a big move forward for a guy.

Fire In The Hole!
Have You Ever...?
On January 9th, a group of Pekin, Illinois bikers were riding west on I-74 when they saw a girl about to jump off the Murray Baker Bridge. So they stopped!
George,
their leader, a big burly man of 53, gets off his Harley, walks through
a group of gawkers, past the State Trooper, and says, "What are you
doing?"
She says, "I'm going to commit suicide."
While he didn't want to appear "sensitive," he didn't want to miss a be-a-legend opportunity either so he asked ... "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a kiss?"
So, with no hesitation at all, she leaned back over the railing and did just that ... and it was a long, deep, lingering kiss followed immediately by another one.
After they finished, George gets approval from his biker-buddies, the onlookers, and even the State Trooper, and says, "Wow! That was the best kiss I have ever had Honey! That's a real talent you're wasting Sugar Shorts. You could be famous if you rode with me. Why are you committing suicide?"
"My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl."
It's still unclear whether she jumped or was pushed.
