Every day we are bombarded with sexually geared imagery throughout various media streams. From billboard advertisements, to spam email, prime time TV shows or radio advertisements- it’s simply impossible to escape sex! And that got me thinking about how and even why we do it…
In today’s sexually explicit environment, why are we all still doing it the same way?
For arguments sake, one would imagine that the majority of people tackle sex in much the same way- sure there will be differences in exactly how ‘IT’ is done depending on your sexuality etc, but for the most part it is like riding the bus- the experience can be tedious, uncomfortable, and ultimately the only reason your on the freaking bus is to reach a destination that you could have walked to on your own.
But why is it so? If we are as sexually aware as the media is telling us, why are we so blissfully unaware of how hopeless we all are at it?
Could it be, just like global warming, being aware of it doesn’t automatically mean you’re an expert on the topic. Who can we turn to? Is there an institute out there trying to find a fix to the impending doom of our very own monotone sexual awakening?
Perhaps it’s not as dire as I think; maybe behind the façades of today’s suburban McMansions, lurking well within the shadows of night are sex gods and goddesses with passions and experimental ideas just waiting to pounce at every opportunity for sexual expression and encounter. Sadly though I fear, these veritable beings of fire and passion are turning to the cyber realm to act out any such desire… the spawn of porno on the internet is crippling what should be the most intimate act between two people.
Why is it that the more sexually aware we become as people, the less we seem to feel we can discuss with those whom we are having it with?
Are we evolving and throwing away the pleasures of sex even negating this act for procreation? How long before Dolphins are left the only mammals on earth enjoying sex…?!
With the contracts signed, loan approved and all the other red tape taken care of my partner and I have just purchased our first house - with endless potential to capitalise on the view.
Located on a sloping site, overlooking the waters of Lake Macquarie (about 2 hours drive north of Sydney) the present dwelling is little more than a 1960’s holiday shack. With a bathroom from hell, and asbestos cladding, much work is needed to turn this dump into the home we desire.
I’ve been trying to figure out what angle I would take on Orble, finding a niche topic that not only interests me but that I could actually write about… so brace yourself people for I am going to chronicle the purchase and renovation of our home...
With settlement planned around the 9th of June, there is much to plan. We have decided to rent the property out for 6-9months (approx) giving us ample time to sort out loose ends and our other commitments (and save a little bit more for that all important reno!).
Thankfully, having a Builder for a father and dating an Electrician means much of the work will be done pro-bono leaving funds to be squandered on other trimmings and luxuries.
It may seem a little premature, but we have already drawn up plans for the proposed renovation; though colour schemes are yet to be decided upon, the basic foundations have been set with a mixture of timber and polished concrete flooring throughout the residance. Custom built timber cabinetry will provide ample storage solutions in both bedrooms. The new kitchen with polished concrete bench tops, open to both indoor and outdoor living spaces, though clichéd will feature at the heart of the home.

The Australian arm of the RSPCA has launched a powerful and emotive campaign highlighting the links between domestic violence, criminal behaviour and animal abuse. The campaign is a strong departure from the charitable organisations traditional marketing techniques.
The cute and cuddly cats and dogs have been replaced by graphic scenes of physical abuse towards women, and the victims of domestic violence. One of the three 30second commercials released as part of this new campaign shows a woman beaten up by her husband with yelping dog noises used every time she is hit- this is arguable the most redolent of the three

The Pacific Plastic Soup… an area of garbage in the Pacific Ocean with an estimated mass of 100 million tones! The Pacific Plastic Soup or Pacific garbage patch is comprised mainly of plastics, and represents about 2.5% of all plastic items produced since 1950.
The area of plastic debris and other flotsam drifting in the northern Pacific Ocean is held by swirling ocean currents. Unlike the coastal ocean, where bodies of water are naturally defined in part by land, the open ocean is bounded by atmospheric pressure systems and the currents they create- thus air, not land defines the body of water

China encourages death, displacement and destruction in Sudan with a virtual supply line from its small arms factories to the Sudanese government-sponsored militias killing civilians in Darfur!
Whilst other countries were decreasing their arms sales to Khartoum, China saw an opportunity to gain monopoly on the trade. Sudan obtained 90% of its small arms during 2004–2006 from China
