Healthy sex, and GO-1A

Why Should We Have Sex? 20 Good Healthy Reasons

And at the other end of things, a piece on the regulation GO-1A banning porn for soldiers. It's an interesting one, not because of the porn ban, what else does one expect from America (yes, go out and fight and maim and kill people, but don't look at naughty pictures!), but because of a side note about how under the same regulation servicemen are banned from keeping pets. More on that side of things here

It's not keeping pets so much as picking up stray animals - from a health point of view, that seems to make sense.

Rough on all concerned, though.

Odd that this hasn't stopped the military from placing recruiting ads on gay websites. From my friend M. Christian's blog: http://frequentlyfelt.blogspot.com/2007/10/possible-headlines-include-but-are-not.html

*sighs* it's not as if they couldn't afford to vaccinate every serviceman and civilian contractor over there for the cost, say, of 5 minutes of the war. if not less.

Well, it looks like a large chunk of the 20 reasons only applies to those people that actually experience orgasm. Should those that don't not bother?

Reading that HSUS article was frustrating. I'm dealing with similar attitudes day to day and I'm not in a warzone or an area where rabies is an issue. The "cull" attitude also won't actually work long term for population or disease control, it never has yet they still do it.

Should be noted that rabies vaccine only gives you an extra bit of time to get treatment if you are bitten and you need a smaller course of treatment, it's not like other vaccines that mean if you are exposed you won't get sick.

The calory-burning list in the first link is awesome. :D
