SEX ON THE BEACH AND OTHER COCKTAILS
Sip cocktails and enjoy a compilation of the most stunning picture erotica. India Today celebrates 10 years of its path finding sex survey with a special edition. An Intimate Journey, a compilation of articles, photographs and data from ten sex surveys.
Do city lives keep us too busy for sex? Cricket matches, bowling night outs, bachelor parties, beer runs and more – there’s much to keep men occupied. So how do girls grab their attention? And how do guys get in a word edgeways between their partners’ career commitments and family demands?

The India Today survey finds Indian women meditating intently on the prayer beads of fulfilling and wholesome sex. At the root of this pleasure quest could be the post-modern woman’s desire to take charge of her own destiny.
The technology of fantasy has expanded dramatically, allowing urban Indians access to a supermarket of choices, but all it has done is expand information, not intimacy. Relationships are less conversation, more convenience; less playgrounds, more prisons.
Pope Benedict XVI used his Christmas Mass in the Vatican to ask whether people could still find time in their hectic, technology-driven lives for children, the poor and God.
The pontiff also prayed that Israelis and Palestinians live in peace and freedom, and asked the faithful to pray for strife-torn Syria as well as Lebanon and Iraq.
The ceremony began at 10pm local time on Christmas Eve in St Peter’s Basilica with the blare of trumpets, meant to symbolise Christian joy over the news of Christ’s birth in Bethlehem.
Calling for unity: Pope Benedict XVI also prayed that Israelis and Palestinians live in peace and freedom, and asked the faithful to pray for strife-torn Syria as well as Lebanon and Iraq
If one has to know about hypocrisy and double speak, do not look beyond the Church.
Let the Pope find out if the Vatican has room for God with their pedophiles, Church keeping quiet during The Holocaust and innumerable acts of Violence on the ‘Heathen’.
Among the early popes who notable tolerated or protected people accused of homosexual practices, we should remember Pope Callistus, who was harshly criticized by Tertullian for his failure to condemn sex between men; Pope Leo IX, who implemented many of St Peter Damian‘ s proposals for church reform, but rejected the appeals for harsh penalties against clerical “sodomites”, and also rejected appeals to prevent the consecration as bishop of the promiscuous John (or Jean) of Orleans. Later, ,Paul III (1534 -49) is said to have protected and bestowed honours on his son, Pier Luigi Farnese, who surrounded himself with male lovers, used Roman police to track down a young man who had spurned his advances, and was accused of raping a bishop and other clerics.
A passage from the glbtq.com is fascinating for the very different picture it paints to that prevailing elsewhere, at a time when the inquisition and secular powers were burning between them thousans of men across Europe and in the New World:…
Charges against Paul II and Julius II centred around their seduction of much younger men; Cellini’s autobiography records a beautiful and talented youth, Luigi Pulci, who made a career out of service to Roman bishops.
Now, I knew about Julius II – and for that matter, Julius III – but this was the first sexual gossip I have come across concerning Paul II, so I explored further. This is what I found: it seems he died while being sodomized by a page boy.
Nor was he the only cleric who enjoyed some male company. Here’s Saslow again:
The Gay Pope,Paul II (r -1471)
The intimate living arrangements of the all-male clerical world and the opportunities that educational and religious duties afforded for privacy and empiotional intimacy, while not themselves “causes” of of homosexuality, may have contributed circumstantially to their expression. Priests in fifteenth century Venice and Stuart Sussex were convicted of sex with young parishioners, unpublished records of church trials in Loreto, Italy, in the 1570’s detail the activities of a choirboy who slept successively with various older monks……
Pope Julius II (1503–1513) had at least one illegitimate daughter, Felice della Rovere (born in 1483, twenty years before his election). Some sources indicate that he had two additional illegitimate daughters, who died in their childhood.[18] Furthermore, some (possibly libellous) reports of his time accused him of sodomy. According to the schismatic Council of Pisa in 1511, he was a “sodomite covered with shameful ulcers.”[19]
Pope Paul III (1534–1549) held off ordination[20] in order to continue his promiscuous lifestyle, fathering four illegitimate children (three sons and one daughter) by his mistress Silvia Ruffini. He broke his relations with her ca. 1513. There is no evidence of sexual activity during his papacy.[21] He made his illegitimate son Pier Luigi Farnese the first Duke of Parma.[22][23]
Pope Pius IV (1559–1565) had three illegitimate children before his election to the papacy.[24]
Pope Sergius III (904–911) was supposedly the father of Pope John XI by Marozia, according to Liutprand of Cremona in his Antapodosis,[25] as well as the Liber Pontificalis.[26] However, this is disputed by another early source, the annalist Flodoard (c. 894-966), John XI was brother of Alberic II, the latter being the offspring of Marozia and her husband Alberic I. Hence John too may have been the son of Marozia and Alberic I. Bertrand Fauvarque underlines that the contemporary sources backing up this parenthood are dubious, Liutprand being “prone to exaggeration” while other mentions of this fatherhood appear in satires written by supporters of late Pope Formosus.[27]
Pope John X (914–928) had romantic affairs with both Theodora and her daughter Marozia, according to Liutprand of Cremona in his Antapodosis:[28] “The first of the popes to be created by a woman and now destroyed by her daughter”. (See also Saeculum obscurum)
Pope John XII (955–963) (deposed by Conclave) was said to have turned the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano into a brothel and was accused of adultery, fornication, and incest (Source:Patrologia Latina).[29] The monk chronicler Benedict of Soracte noted in his volume XXXVII that he “liked to have a collection of women”. According to Liutprand of Cremona in hisAntapodosis,[25] “they testified about his adultery, which they did not see with their own eyes, but nonetheless knew with certainty: he had fornicated with the widow of Rainier, with Stephana his father’s concubine, with the widow Anna, and with his own niece, and he made the sacred palace into a whorehouse.” According to The Oxford Dictionary of Popes, John XII was “a Christian Caligula whose crimes were rendered particularly horrific by the office he held”.[30] He was killed by a jealous husband while in the act of committing adultery with the man’s wife.[31][32][33][34] (See also Saeculum obscurum)
Pope Benedict IX (1032– became pope in 1044, again in 1045 and finally 1047–1048).[35] He was accused by Bishop Benno of Piacenza of “many vile adulteries.”[36][37] Pope Victor III referred in his third book of Dialogues to “his rapes… and other unspeakable acts.”[38] His life prompted St. Peter Damian to write an extended treatise against sex in general, and homosexuality in particular. In his Liber Gomorrhianus, Damian accused Benedict IX of routine sodomy and bestiality and sponsoring orgies.[39] In May 1045, Benedict IX resigned his office to pursue marriage.[40]
‘The resolution urges the 193 U.N. member states to condemn the practice, and to launch educational campaigns to eliminate it. It urges all countries to enact and enforce legislation to prohibit FGM, to protect women and girls “from this form of violence” and to end impunity for violators. Although not legally binding, UN General Assembly resolutions carry considerable moral and political weight.’
‘
FGM is often undertaken to reinforce traditional beliefs about what is considered proper sexual behavior, according to the World Health Organization. Many communities believe the process, also called female circumcision, reduces a woman’s libido and therefore reduces the chances of her engaging in premarital or extramarital sex.
When a vaginal opening is closed off or narrowed through the process, the pain of opening it, and the fear that it would be found out, is considered further deterrent to “illicit” sexual intercourse.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) includes procedures that intentionally alter or cause injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.
The procedure has no health benefits for girls and women.
Procedures can cause severe bleeding and problems urinating, and later cysts, infections, infertility as well as complications in childbirth increased risk of newborn deaths.
About 140 million girls and women worldwide are currently living with the consequences of FGM.
FGM is mostly carried out on young girls sometime between infancy and age 15.
In Africa an estimated 92 million girls 10 years old and above have undergone FGM.
FGM is a violation of the human rights of girls and women.(WHO Report)
I think there is confusion regarding FGM.
Narrowing of the Vaginal Canal is FGM and not the circumcision of the Clitoris.
This as, suggested by the UN and WHO violates human Rights as it is dangerous to health and restricts female sexual behavior.
Circumcision of Clitoris increases sexual pleasure as it does the circumcision of the male.
Put UK on Notice for willfully deserting Palestine in 1948 falsely promising both Palestinians the same, a separate State,thus creating a People with out State.
Yes, this ban is most urgent.next on the Agenda is
Banning the circumcision practiced by the Jews?
This is nothing but to incite the Muslims.
There are so many practices in Christianity that are outdated concepts including Papacy.
What about the pedophile Priests?
What does Islam say on FGM?
Contrary to Muslims’ denial Islam clearly advocates this.

The Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law ‘Umdat al-Salik
by Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri (d. 769/1368) in Arabic with
Facing English Text, Commentary, and Appendices
Edited and Translated by Nuh Ha Mim Keller
In this book, in the section titled “THE BODY”, we find on page 59 the following entry:
Nuh Hah Mim Keller’s Translation
Arabic Original
e4.3 Circumcision is obligatory (O: for both men and women. For men it consists of removing the prepuce from the penis, and for women, removing the prepuce (Ar. Bazr) of the clitoris (n: not the clitoris itself, as some mistakenly assert). (A: Hanbalis hold that circumcision of women is not obligatory but sunna, while Hanafis consider it a mere courtesy to the husband.)”
I just wrote on ‘Gay Mosque’ and now I find’ New Sex position found by Turks!
Kama-Sutra is definitely the best and exhaustive Book on Sex.
“The man supports himself on palms and soles. First the woman rides on her
lover inserting deeply his erect penis in her vagina. After this she turns to the
right and places her right leg under the left leg of her lover and draws down her
body leaning either on one palm or on both palms. Then she places the other
leg with the sole on the man’s chest.
Horse….Riding!
The woman is active in this position, making coming and going movements. The
man responds to woman’s movements by moving his pelvis in order to
penetrate the entire vagina of his lover.
“Riding the horse” position gives intense pleasure to both lovers and amplifies
the passion of lovemaking.
Both lovers have to concentrate their attention around the navel in order to
sublimate the sexual energy in subtle fire. In this way the lovers will be full of
energy and passion.-kamasutras4u.blogspot)
Even Vatsyayana speaks only of ‘Horse Riding Position” and not ‘Ridding position in/on the Horse!
This information is from a dedicated Islamic site; looks to be conservative!
I take it as authentic information.
People know about Sodomy and Islam;of multiple wives and Islam;of Circumcision of the Clitoris for women in Islam.
This is …?
Some portions of the article are…’hilarious or total disregard for Truth and Objectivity’;
“Going back to sex on horseback; it has not yet been proven how they did it, but our ancestors must have found a way to copulate on horseback. Ottoman sultans had dozens of children. Some even had up to 130 children, especially during the magnificent times of the empire, though numbers were much lover during the rise and the stagnation eras. There must have been some sex happening on horseback.
Our heroic, epic ancestors fought wars, conquered lands and came back with colossal victories. This is what we are taught about history at school. When did they find time to impregnate women? That is not known.
None of their family lives, the influence women, mothers and wives had on the ruler, the administration or over the state of affairs in general is not taught in official history. There are many clues though for several of these questions in poetry.
So an average Turkish person, especially if he is conservative, grows up with this lack of knowledge and if he does not add another, broader perspective to this restricted one, then any reference to a family or love life, any mention of being influenced by a wife (oh, a woman?) sounds like an insult to that conservative politician.
Actually, history should be left to historians. Just focus on practicality. If one sultan, say, spends 30 years on horseback, then he should be able to easily impregnate a woman anytime, anywhere. How this is done should also be left to historians to research.
…Actually, there is no proof or written document on how sex on horseback can be achieved. Indeed, I did some research for you. The only reference to horseback in a sexual context is that little girls especially take pleasure in riding horses without saddles because the movements of the horse provide nice, enjoyable pressures to their sensitive parts. But, this is not our topic.
There are also incidents where people have sex with the animal, but that is not our case either. Also there is a rumor that horse riders are better sex partners. Who can know that?
So, I guess, this newly thought of sex position, just for Turks, is no more than an allusion. The rest is left to our imagination.
P.S. This is all a joke. Don’t take it seriously.
P.P.S. I don’t want to be in trouble with the law. Please take it as a joke. It is intended for you to laugh.

Definition is Girl friend is one who happens to be a girl( Am I right?)
Sex is one of the most powerful instincts of beings,(Survival,Thirst,Hunger being others in the order of priority),and the terms Love,Affection etc are the cloaks in which it hides.
Sex is associated with survival of the species and hence Nature has given its attribute as uncontrollable(easily I mean).
Prudes may hasten to blame me for clubbing Love .Affection in this category;let me add that Sex is not a sin but obsession with it is.
How does this happen?
At the metal level, though felicitated by culture ‘Lifestyle and environment, it has some thing to do with ‘what’-I do not know.
One thing is for sure.
The Bard got it Right.
‘Whoever Loved that Loved not at first sight’
First Love remains ever green forever.
I can vouch for it.
One sees some one and that’s it.
You don’t know nor analyse it.
If you do, you lose it, I mean, the pleasure of it.
As I am fond of saying, don’t analyse feelings, go with it if you want to live.
The problems associated with real quarrels among people during Love need not be taken seriously and if the bonding is natural it will have a Natural death.
Most of the time you lose your Love, the pain lingers throughout your Life.
Being the puzzle it is Life has some course for us.
The memories always make you happy.
Losing in Love is also a pleasure for we do not know what would have happened if we had been successful, possible we could have killed the Love.
I can visualize people smirking, ‘Being philosophical,as you could do nothing about it’
Be it.
It makes me in control of myself and at the same time be happy.
Now on to something light.
It is always a pleasure to see young ones express in Love and especially so when they express it.
The notes they write may not be grammatically correct nor elegant in expression,
The way the girl looks at the Boy when she thinks none is looking at her may sound childish,
The way the Boys show off in front of their girl friends,
The non sense (to others) they speak endless, of late on Mobile,
The airs they put on as if the World exists only for them,
Well, who cares!
Pleasure.
Wish people remain that way.
