| How boobonomics explains the world
A friend who spends his life negotiating with the agents of glamour models explained to me the principles of "boobonomics". Let's assume a pretty girl, who has been snapped in her bikini for a local newspaper, seeks a big-time career. Her agent phones a men's magazine and proposes for a given sum, say £3,000, that she pose in lingerie. If she's a hit with the readers, her agent will then suggest that for a greater sum, say £5,000, she will pose topless, but with her nipples concealed by her cupped fingers ("hand bra"). Subsequently her fee will rise for each coy permutation: "hair bra" or "girl-on-girl bra" (two models face to face shielding each other's breasts). Eventually, once this dance of the seven thongs has been exhausted and readers are believed to be slavering with anticipation, the agent will propose that for a huge sum say £50,000 the girl will finally reveal all.
Why can’t the English be more like the French?
It is well known that Englishmen are no good at sex. They go at it in a medieval fashion, blind drunk, ignorant and with no respect for la séduction. To attract male attention, Englishwomen have to go out "on the pull" dressed like tarts. When the English do "score" (sporting vocabulary is de rigueur for sex), the rules are clear. In no way must the sex ever be discussed, although it might be conceded that last night was "a laugh". Altogether, it is a mystery how they ever procreate. Instead of a sex life, the British have their newspapers. What they really love is scandal: catching people out, punishing them for daring to have sex. This is completely in keeping with the puritan tradition. Picture the English couple in bed on Sunday morning.
British Dating Site Focuses on Sexless Relationships
For anyone looking for sex, the Internet is often the first stop, with its array of dating sites and chat rooms devoted to the subject. It is probably the last place that those seeking a celibate relationship would consider looking. However, an online dating agency has been launched for those seeking intimacy without intercourse. Platonicpartners.co.uk says that it will help the silent minority of adults seeking "celibate, platonic, non-physical or partly physical relationships" and help them to find a mate. - Click here for FOXNews.com's Personal Technology Center. The site was founded by Susie King, a former life coach, who was moved to set up the forum after a close friend attempted suicide because of his sexual impotence.
