Ultimate pick-up line revised: “Hey babe, what’s your number?” (Ours is 3.4 billion)



Population Control: Real Costs, Illusory Benefits
Population Control: Real Costs, Illusory Benefits

Today they expect there to be 7 BILLION PEOPLE ON EARTH.

That’s a lot of mouths to feed, people to clothe, waste to process.

One could expect that the Earth — or our modern infrastructure — was not built to sustain this type of function.  More people just means more needs: from power to water, places to live, medicines, beds, etc…

No more does the old adage of a man and a wife deciding to procreate to have two children to replace them when the parents die; we’re seeing larger and larger families come around in countries around the world, putting a strain on systems that were never designed to carry that type of load.

Are you an unmarried couple that’s living together? Your kids hate you.



WHY MARRIAGE MATTERS: THIRTY CONCLUSIONS FROM THE SOCIAL SCIENCES from the Center for Marriage and Families at the Institute for American Values and the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia was recently released.

And if you are a couple with children that happen to be unmarried (“living in sin” is what our parents called it, back when “sin” was a bit more inflammatory than it is today), then you have set your children up on an unhealthy spiral as they grow older.

Some of the results from the study include:

80% of couples live together before getting married



Living Together: A Legal Guide for Unmarried Couples
Living Together: A Legal Guide for Unmarried Couples

Living together before marriage: it’s not exactly a growing trend, it’s just something that’s been done for years and years.

Heck, if you want to get technical, Adam and Eve “lived together” in Biblical times.  There certainly wasn’t a priest around to make their arrangement an official “marriage”, if you will.

And while Web Watch knows that some parents are perfectly fine with the permanent roommate situation that living together brings, we also know of some couples who purposefully hide their living arrangements from the parental units.  It’s all about avoiding the wrath and disappointment of the parents, combined with the realization that the living-in-sin couple might have to pay for their own wedding arrangements, we assume.  To each their own.  Whatever works.

What’s a Sex Surrogate?



Private Practices: The Story of a Sex Surrogate
Private Practices: The Story of a Sex Surrogate

Have you ever heard about a SEX SURROGATE and wondered what it was?

Fox News recently wrote an article about it, and summed it up with this:

“…some sex therapists turn to surrogate partners – people who help patients with intimacy issues using a hands-on approach. This can include having sex with the patient.”

What?  You mean to say that there are doctors who can prescribe sex to their patients, and there’s an actual service those patients can turn to that will have sex with them “for medical reasons”?

It sounds like it’s borderline prostitution, but where there is a medical need, what other choice does one have?

Penis Problems: A Man's Guide
Penis Problems: A Man’s Guide

Thought that would get your attention.

But apparently, “manopause” – the male version of menopause – is no laughing matter.  Especially when the official name is “andropause“.  It is caused by lower testosterone levels as men get older.

According to the book Penis Problems: A Men’s Guide, there are three distinctive changes that men may notice in their Frank and Beans as they get older.  Two of them are:
