    I believe some women still use that method.

    This was also the unused fall-back plan for the 'Pubs since their abstinence program was such a huge success.

    Ironically, the science here is actually more sound than that behind abstinence.

    I'd have to say I'd probably lose interest if a man was whackin' me with a broom...not that there's anything wrong with that..!

    Irrational belief systems are always so much more fun!

    Remember when people would take the time and arrange stuff like images and words on a blog. Now they just toss a bunch of crap in Flickr and hope people will wade thru it.
