A recent survey carried out by Harris Interactive with the objective of finding out the differences between European and American sex habits has uncovered some interesting results. More than 5,000 people were interviewed between the ages of 16-64 about their sex lives, with the following results:
• While 37% of monogamous partners in France would forgive their other half should they undertake a sexual liason with someone else, 51% of Britons felt the same way
• No matter where people live, the average age for a first sexual encounter is 18
• Italian men stated that they had sex an average of 8.9 times a month (the highest average of all respondents), but Italian women placed their sexual encounters at a mere 5.8 times a month
• A quarter of all American respondents admitted to having sex with someone they had met on an online dating site, whereas 14% of Britons said the same.
So the question is, who are the Italian men sleeping with? Each other, like the Romans did?!!!

Here’s an unusual story hot off the press. A woman from Florida who’s been missing for over a year and a half has turned up on a lesbian dating site and another for senior citizens.
Jennifer Kesse disappeared when she was 24 has been posted with the profile name of lindaneedslove on SeniorPeopleMeet.com and Chickcheckinaz on LesbianPersonalsOnline.com.
Her father is rightfully very upset about the whole affair, as some sick individual has obviously gone to her website www.jenniferkesse.com dedicated to finding her, and pinched her profile to add to these sites.

Us ladies all know which men to steer clear of but more often than not we end up with them! Why is that?
My theory is that we just aren’t choosy enough!
So this article is specifically for you ladies, and acts as a gentle reminder as to whom exactly to stay well clear of:
Your children’s friends
Ok, so if you have kids and they are starting to introduce their friends to you, my experience is that if you are a yummy mummy you will attract the attention of the young rutting stags wit teenage crushes. Don’t whatever you do lead them on in any way.. just be happy that you are probably the subject of some rather interesting dreams. I knew a lady who was always keen to jump into bed of her son’s friends and it turned out ugly as you can probably imagine.
Your boss
As we all work so much harder these days it’s very easy to get caught up in the excitement of the corporate culture and bosses who are full of their own ego. An affair with your boss is a one way ticket to a new job! Whilst it may be exciting at the time, what happens when you or they get bored!

According to the American Association of Retired Persons senior dating is on the increase with 70% of singles dating, one of the fastest growing sectors.
This is often down to divorce and death (of their partner). Dr. John Gray, communication and relationships expert and best-selling author of “Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus,” has partnered with BoomerTowne.com, an informational website for baby boomers, to provide advice for boomers who are thinking about dating again or who have recently entered into a new relationship. It’s a fantastic place to start anyway!
Being scientifically minded, Dr Gray has come up with a theory called the ‘five stages of dating’ which clearly presents the common relationship phases couples may experience (at any age):
Attraction: This is the time to date around and not hurry into a serious relationship. “At this point, try to have a good time with dating and create a series of positive dating experiences,” said Dr. Gray. “This also lets someone determine what kinds of people he or she might find interesting or stimulating.”
Uncertainty: Strong feelings could emerge once two people decide they really like each other. This could include feelings of uncertainty. It is important to remember that first doubts can be a normal part of the dating process.

Having done a fair amount of travelling on my lonesome I can honestly say that whilst the initial thought of it is really daunting, it’s possibly the best decision I ever made. I went a very shy fella and came back with friends for life… and a couple of romances under my belt! You’ll actually discover alot about yourself and come back feeling utterly fulfilled.
Taking a friend along is fine, but strangers tend to keep their distance more if you are with someone else, especially if they are of the opposite sex. I’d challenge anyone to go travelling alone and not come back with any friends.
The travel market has definitely cottoned onto the increasing amount of singles going off on their own and have actually introduced ‘hooking up’ with someone within the holiday.
