A former tenant of my new home had an Economist subscription from which I am currently benefiting.  Evidently, having an Economist subscription does not require the intelligence to change your mailing address.

This is all to say that, over breakfast this morning, I read an interesting article suggesting that the reasons behind relatively early sexual maturity in women might be more complex than simply "(lack of) daddy" issues.

Thanks Dr. Matt

AAAHHH!!!

My WTF Moment of the Morning

Dear Jimmy,
I picked up this postcard of you when I was fifteen because I thought you were cute and funny.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate you on accomplishing so much with your career over these last seven years. You are now the host of your very own show! I've heard it's not very funny, but maybe it will get better? I'm admittedly a little bitter that Conan is no longer in New York. He's just such a New York kinda guy. I will work hard to put this undeserved hostility to rest.
Love always,
Alice

Goodbye Matthew!

I even deleted thirty-four facebook friends in your honour.

LADIES: IF YOU DANCE WITH GOD, HE'LL LET THE PERFECT GUY CUT IN.

My new obsession, brought to us by Facebook: Abstinence Isn't Easy, But Neither are You

There's just so much material here that it's hard to know where to start.

Discussion topics include:

Nudity...Is it the same as sex?

Anal: A great way to maintain one's virginity?

Masturbation: Good or Bad

This might get old fast, but for now I kinda dig it.
EDIT: GREAT ALBUM. (Optimistic Werewolf!)

Jon Hamm Fantasy: Ruined.

...I know that reading isn't as easy to do as turning on a television or getting on the Internet or twittering or whatever else you have to do in this modern society, but it's way more rewarding.

THANKS A LOT, OPRAH.

Ladies, throw out that silk!

EL: Do men really care what you’re wearing?

Dr. PA: If he just wants sex he doesn’t care what you’re wearing. If you have a vagina that’s all he cares about. But if he’s looking for someone to relate to then he cares. Think like you’re going to an interview.

EL: What shouldn’t you wear?

Dr. PA: Don’t wear silk, silk sweats and shows anxiety. I don’t want you to sweat in front of him. It gives away the store. Then he can muscle power you into sex. And you give away the whole thing, all because you wore silk. Men are very visual.

More from Dr. Pat Allen...

John and Ava, perhaps this might make you reconsider Australia.

The upside? Good material for Knight's memoir.
