Playing field/locker room lessons....
Lots of forum/blogging on our interactions with others. It seems to me that, given the many differences between the sexes, experiences in youth can have a marked influence on subsequent development, interpersonal styles, and success/resilience. Duh. Ya think? Contact sports, formerly the place mostly for males, may be a prime example. Lessons of the rough and tumble likely teach some how to fit in with peers so experienced. Life long. And those lacking these may be at a disadvantage in many life endeavors. Could it be that these dynamics explain parts of bullying, female/male banter, success in business/politics, and much more. Now many females are getting their share of such education, although for relatively shorter time periods, and onto quite different constitutions/sentimentalities. I've known a number of men, chronically inadequate, who find competition of any sort quite jarring. Ladies surely can relate. Equal? Perhaps. But surely different. Aa-V.
The Maquis de Sade
Most know of him, but who was he really? I just sloughed through a huge paperback, that included history of him and 3 books he wrote. Like Eugenie and Justine. Talk about a warped,sick mind. It appears he did not do all he wrote. He did rape a woman which got him jailed. And other jailings for porn. He was however married for years to a woman who stuck with him through it all and he had two kids with her.
What makes his writing hard to plow through, though, is he uses his male characters to write page, after page, after page that are his beliefs as to religion, laws and morality as he tries to corrupt a young innocent virgin. Skimming works!
According to what he writes, criminal acts are forgivable. It is the victims fault. He derides the haves for not sharing their wealth. The perp has every right to take that which others have due to the fact that those who work and earn what they have, should then hand over anything the lazy criminal lacks. He justifies murder because it is natures laws. And there is no illicit act in rape, torture, sodomy, incest, child killings, or any other because what is against the law in the persons country is legal or ignored in another.
His/their views on religion is that it is all fiction and corrupt as the real world. Governments and society use it to blind people and use them, by teaching them to obey.
The ironic thing in his writings and ideas, is how much is in play in our modern societies. Criminal minds are his way...society and well off owe the criminal. They justify the crimes in their minds. Sade wrote in the 16/1700a. Sad it still rings so true today.

How single people are getting through this pandemic dry spell alone
Single people have taken sex into their own hands since the pandemic began. The average single person is m**turbating three times per day, according to new research.
A poll of 2,005 single Americans found three in 10 are m**turbating more than once a day — and just 14% doing it once a day. m**turbation has seen an uptick since March 2020 as nearly half (48%) are pleasuring themselves more frequently than ever before as a result of being indoors so much more.
These solo sessions have led to some jaw-dropping o*gasm — over a third (34%) experienced their best o*gasm ever during the pandemic. What's led to this boom of mind-blowing pleasure? Three in 10 say trying a new position or technique has boosted their sex life amid the pandemic — like m**turbating.
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of #LubeLife, the survey aimed to see how the pandemic has affected singles' sex lives and discovered over a quarter (26%) say they are watching more porn during the pandemic.
Nearly half (47%) of those who are single surveyed say that they used to be embarrassed about m**turbating, but since the pandemic began, they have become a lot more open to it. This new embrace of m**turbation stems from the fact that 39% of respondents have experienced a dry spell in their sex lives since March 2020. And 59% of those don't plan on breaking their dry spell any time soon, even if the pandemic went away — with one in five saying they want to experiment with m**turbation even more.
One in 10 of those looking to extend their dry spell in a post-COVID world intend to do so because they PREFER m**turbating now. That being said, 57% of those who've experienced a dry spell are worried about having sex for the first time after not experiencing it with a partner in a while. On average, those who are single haven't had sex with someone in 17 weeks — or over four months. "There are many lasting effects of the pandemic — and a lack of sex is one of them — especially for single Americans. With people being stuck inside, finding the right rhythm of m**turbation has allowed people to finally explore what it is they like in the bedroom and the best ways to please themselves" stated Tara Merkle, Senior Director, #Lubelife Marketing.
Despite this increase in m**turbation, 42% say their sex life wasn't great in 2020. As a result, 55% plan on making the most out of 2021 because 2020 was such a crappy year. As soon as lockdown measures are lifted, 37% plan on finally having sex with someone. And that shouldn't be as difficult as before to find a s*xual partner since 31% say their standards have significantly lowered when it comes to who they'll have sex with post-pandemic. Surprisingly, three in 10 have already hooked up with someone that they'd normally NEVER go for. "Singles are desperate for ways to make 2021 smoother than 2020. Beyond their sex lives, singles are eager to tackle all aspects of their lives in 2021 and to finally say good-bye to 2020 for good" added Tara Merkle, Senior Director, #Lubelife Marketing.

Well, I hope you are at least washing your hands afterwards.
I really must go. But Baby it's cold outside.
It's October 31st and we're still in the EU. No ifs, no buts, come Hell or high water. 
The Christmas walk
I got an email from my walking group today. The proposed Boxing Day walk has been changed to another route because of all the rain we've had lately. The planned walk is too muddy, apparently. I was intending to go on that walk, but I probably won't bother now. Now that the possibility of someone slipping into the canal has been removed, there doesn't seem much point.

The 3 Rs
In SA criminals use what is commonly known as the 3 Rs literally to get away with murder or to cut their sentence by more than half at times.

"workers should be "excited" about having their jobs automated, but were not because of larger systemic issues in American society.
“We should be excited about automation, because what it could potentially mean is more time educating ourselves, more time creating art, more time investing in and investigating the sciences, more time focused on invention, more time going to space, more time enjoying the world that we live in,” she said, according to The Verge. “Because not all creativity needs to be bonded by wage.”
"we're reckoning with the consequences of putting profit above everything else in society. And what that means is people can't afford to live. For me, it's a question of priorities and right now I don't think our model is sustainable."
Ok, so...I didn't say this. Not this time. I don't need to "preach" anymore. These are the words of a politician...if you can believe it.
