    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..!

    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.
