Mens Health and Sex Advice

by Peter James

I was pretty surprised when my friend told me that he and his girlfriend sometimes tape themselves in bed. I asked him why they did it, and if they watched the tapes afterward. Matt (my friend’s name) told me that the first time they taped themselves had been pretty spontaneous. They had a video camera that they use for other stuff. One night they were messing around when he looked up, saw the camera, and thought "Why not?". He asked his girlfriend, and she said she thought it was sort of exciting, so they set it up with a view of their bed and let it tape. He told me it feels a little like you’re being watched during sex without the problems of possibly getting caught.

He and his girlfriend feel very naughty when they do this, which is part of the thrill. Also they feel very illicit after- ward that they are in control of the tape that no one else can watch.

Matt’s girlfriend says that their sex is more passionate and more playful when they are taping it. She says that the feeling of having an audience is VERY exciting to her, and she finds everything they do together more stimulating. They both told me that they rarely, if ever, watch them afterward. They like the taping a lot, but aren’t into watching it too much.

I asked her if they used plots or role playing when they taped, but she said usually they are too excited and would just "go for it" when they tape. She said it is almost like a sex game when they do it.

Here’s a few tips I got from Matt on videotaping yourselves at home.

1- First off, always make sure EVERYBODY you’re taping knows that you are taping, and that they’re fine with that. Also make SURE that they’re over 18 or you could end up in serious trouble.

2- Next, make sure that the camera is pointed and properly focused for the area where the action is going to take place. If your camera doesn’t have auto focus or auto lighting, why not put a test object in the approximate area you’re going to shoot and see how it looks. You can adjust your light and focus.

3- Now angle. If you’re not sure what angle you would like to be shot at, try shooting slightly down at yourself without using the light on the camera.

4- Most video cameras can be hooked up to a TV so you can watch as you are having sex on camera. For people that like to watch themselves in mirrors, this is a really great way to see ALL of the action.

5- Another friend of ours that is also into videoing his exploits points out one more thing he feels is essential- the importance of properly labeling your tapes. You don’t want your daughter or your mother in low watching your little home videos. Likewise you don’t want your wife to grab your tape and carry it to show at a business proposal.

By the way, this other friend says he and his girlfriend DO watch the tapes. They are both into watching, not just being watched, and it really turns them on to watch themselves in action. He says it’s great foreplay.

So if you feel like spicing up your love life, or you and your girlfriend like being watched but not being caught, this might be a fun way to add a little variety to your playtime. Just be careful what you do with the tapes - just remember Pam and Tommy!

Circumcision is the removal of some or all of the foreskin (prepuce) from the penis. The word circumcision comes from the Latin words circum (meaning "around") and caedere (meaning "to cut"). Female circumcision is a term applied to a variety of procedures performed on the female genitalia. Circumcision is usually performed for religious, cultural, and medical reasons. Elective adult circumcision may also be chosen as a form of body modification, or for aesthetic reasons.

The oldest documentary evidence for circumcision comes from Egypt. This technique was also widely practiced by Semitic peoples, Greeks and Romans, although it was not considered mandatory and certain people rejected it.

Judaism and Islam are the leading religions that see circumcision as mandatory practice for their members today, although Judaism is attaching a greater importance to this act. Jewish male children are circumcised eight days after their birth, unless health reasons force a delay. Islam clerics are less formal about the exact time of circumcision, although some communities still observe the eighth day practice of Judaism. One difference between the two religions is that Jewish male children are circumcised by a religious figure called "mohel", while some Muslim communities, especially in Iran, take their children to hospital for circumcision.

The Roman Catholic Church rejected this practice at the Council of Florence in 1442. However, the members of the Coptic Christian and Ethiopian Orthodox churches still observe circumcision as mandatory.

Circumcision is also common in a number of African and Australian Aboriginal religious traditions, where it is used as a passage rite for young males. For some West African animist groups, such as the Dogon and Dowayo, circumcision represents a removal of "feminine" aspects of the male, while the Nilotic people hold periodical circumcision ceremonies that are used to group young males in age sets.

The United States, the Philippines and South Korea are the only countries that still practice circumcision routinely on a majority of males for non-religious reasons. Routine circumcision practices in South Korea are largely the result of American cultural and military influence following the Korean War.

No meal is over unless there is a dessert involved. If you are here in America, you know that most of the desserts out there are bad for you. They are loaded with salt, sugar and or fat. We have become a nation of junk food addicts. I do have a theory on this. I think that when a group of people experience wealth, their diets change. I know that this is simple and even a moron can come up with something like this, but hear me out. When a group of people have enough money that they have a choice of what they will eat, they will choose to go along with the more fatty foods. I think this is because we tend to store fat to keep us warm for the winter. In our minds if there is a bunch of food to choose from, then we will go towards the fatty foods. Like most animals, we prepare for the winter time. We know that it will be cold so we want a layer of fat to keep us warm. Another aspect of it is, we are greedy. All people are greedy. We want the best of everything. We want a nice new car, new house and all the rich food that we can eat. In the past, a wealthy person ate different foods than someone who is poor.

What to do? You want that little bit of joy at the end of the meal, but you don’t want to become a lard ass. Well, you can have your cake and eat it too. We will discuss some of the more healthy desserts that you can eat. First I want to say, don’t get fooled by this low fat stuff. It isn’t worth the time. You will eat twice as much of it to fill your cravings. It is because it is missing something, the fat. The one thing that you are craving the most. In the end you aren’t really doing yourself any favors. You are falling in the trap that all fat people fall into. They think since it is low fat, they can eat twice as much of it. That maybe true, but only if you don’t want to loose weight.

Fresh fruit is always a good dessert. You can prepare it easily and it tastes great. Nothing tastes better than fresh fruit that is in season. Make sure that it is perfectly ripe and ready to eat. If it is ripe, it will be sweet and juicy. If you eat fruit that isn’t ripe it will be hard and not have all the flavor that it can yield. You don’t have to stick with the ho hum fruit salad. You can choose a ton of different ways to eat fresh fruit. You can bake apples for example wrapped in tin foil with a little bit of brown sugar. This is wonderful.

One of my favorite things is bananas sliced in orange juice. The sweet tangy flavor of the orange juice is really different compared to the banana. I could eat a truck load of this stuff. It is also a great pick me up if you are feeling sluggish. We have all seen those wand mixers advertised on television. Some people call these boat motors. It is a hand held mixer/blender that you can use for a lot of things. I love these things. If you have one of these, it is easy to make a great low fat dessert.

Here is a simple dessert using your boat motor. Take skim milk. You need to make sure that it is ice cold for this. Take your milk and put it in a drinking glass. Use your boat motor to whip air into it. You will notice after awhile it kind of looks like whipped cream. Add some bananas and strawberries and a little pinch of sugar to make it sweet. This is very low fat and it tastes great. You get that desire for fat taken care of that you have been craving so much. The whipped milk really almost feels like whipped cream. You won’t believe how much it feels like the real thing.
You can also use this to add some zing to all kinds of things. You can use it to make your low fat milkshakes. You can add your protein mix to this for a great meal with very little fat. You will be surprised at how many things you can do with this whipped topping. People will think that you have fallen off of your rocker when they think you are eating a big serving of whipped cream. Before you know it, all your buddies at the gym will want you to make them something to eat with your boat motor. That is when you will have to tell them to get their own.

You can also eat gelatin. Make sure that you get the unflavored kind. It will come in either envelopes or in sheets. There will be directions on the package to tell you how to make it. You can add fruit juice or you can add fresh fruit to your gelatin. If you have a boat motor, you can use it and add some of that whipped topping you make from the skim milk. You will love this. You can also eat some low fat cakes. Just because it is cake, doesn’t mean that it is bad for you. Just make sure that there isn’t a whole lot of eggs or dairy involved. Also sometimes people sneak in mayo in their cake batters. Make sure you know what is on the cake. Also jam or jelly is great instead of frosting.

I’m sure that you can come up with your own ideas as well. Just think of what you already like to eat and put a spin on it. Please, stay away from the low fat stuff. All that will do is make you crave more of that than you should be eating. In the long run, you aren’t saving any calories.
