Light Up, Turn On
If you see a great big cloud of smoke in the northern hemisphere on October 17, don't worry. The world isn't on fire. That's the day marijuana becomes legal in Canada. By the same reasoning, Canadians, if you see smoke coming from your neighbor's bedroom window, again, don't worry. Those folks just might be testing to see if weed can help people feel more comfortable in the bedroom - particularly women. Because of the legalities, there just hasn't been enough true research on the potential benefits of pot and sex. So far, we can only rely on anecdotal evidence, but that's still encouraging. For those who have experienced trauma or have anxiety during sex, marijuana just might be a great aid. Time will tell.
Is Prosperity Sexy?
As sex surveys emerge as a viable course of study that truly help us understand the goings on of our sex lives, something else the discipline offers is unique information. This study, looking at the correlation between owning specific consumer goods and home conditions and the likelihood of having sex in developing countries, provides some interesting data. How do they connect? Floors, cars, refrigerators, televisions ... all of these speak to a growing prosperity and perhaps a rise in a more leisurely society, with mobility being a key factor in the opportunity for sex. Yet, this interpretation is coming from a North American understanding. We definitely need a deeper dive into this data.
Hot as Fuck
Summer is coming to an end where I live and I am seriously bummed out about that. Although, I have to say, that this year was particularly hot. That made sexy shenanigans a challenge. I mean, I love the heat, but when you lie there at night and barely want to move, let alone be touched by another person, well ... that's a clear sign to take the night off. Extreme heat and humidity are a definite turn off for a lot of people, but you don't have to abandon sex entirely. You might need to get a little creative!
