There is an interesting story in this week's Science Section of The New York Times about the many diverse and sometimes perverse reasons people have sex - it turns out that there are 237 of them, most of which have nothing to do with procreation...

"After asking nearly 2,000 people why they'd had sex, psychologists at the University of Texas at Austin have assembled and categorized a total of 237 reasons - everything from "I wanted to feel closer to God" to "I was drunk." They even found a few people who claimed to have been motivated by the desire to have a child.

Who knew, for instance, that a headache had any erotic significance except as an excuse for saying no? But some respondents of both sexes explained that they'd had sex "to get rid of a headache." It's No. 173 on the list.

The best news is that both men and women ranked the same reason most often: "I was attracted to the person." The rest of the top 10 for each gender were also almost all the same, including "I wanted to express my love for the person," "I was sexually aroused and wanted the release" and "It's fun."

Others said they did it to "help me fall asleep," "make my partner feel powerful," "burn calories," "return a favor," "keep warm," "hurt an enemy" or "change the topic of conversation."

Priceless. Hmm...now we wonder what would happen if women were having orgasms everytime during sex, ya think the response "because it feels f(*^Ring good" would be the most popular reason...???

Today's Sponge Gets a New Look
By CAKE, Section In the News

Today's Sponge wants you to know that it is back on the market - thanks mostly to Elaine's addiction to it on Seinfeld - with a new look. The new package will begin to appear on retail shelves this month. They conducted a great deal of research with women aged 21 - 44 who told them that they wanted a bold, new package that jumped off the shelf and clearly declared itself as a product for women. Yippee - now we want to know if they fixed the damn thing so it does not have so much toxic spermicide in it so that it is basically impossible to use!?!?
