IN THE NEWS THIS WEEK:
AND YOU THOUGHT IT WAS JUST FOR FUN...
EDINBURGH, Reuters [OL] via NewsEdge Corporation: Sex at least three times a week can make people look 10 years younger, according to a survey published Wednesday. "It's not a case of these people having more sex because they look younger, they actually look younger because they are having more sex in loving, stable relationships," said Dr. David Weeks, a neuro-psychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital.
Weeks, whose survey took 10 years to complete, told Reuters: "Because these people are having a better sex life, they feel better about themselves and actually look younger." Weeks, an American, interviewed some 3,500 people from Britain, Europe and the United States after he placed an advertisement in New Scientist magazine in 1988 which asked: "Do you look and feel younger than you are?" His survey of young-looking participants, stretching from rain-swept Scotland to sunny California, found that on average, they had sex at least four times a week twice as often as the average person.
When the participants were "rated" by volunteers who tried to guess their ages, the men were assumed to be 12 years younger and the women 10 years younger than they actually were. How does making love tap the fountain of youth? The human body produces growth hormones and other chemicals like endorphins during sex that enhance the body and mind, Weeks said.
A woman's body during orgasm releases the hormone oxytocin, which affects emotional centers of her brain. Men who regularly stimulate their mate's oxytocin are rewarded with warmer feelings of affection, Weeks' study showed.
Weeks, who published his findings in a book, "Super-young: The Proven Way to Stay Young Forever", stressed that a number of other factors such as diet and exercise also affect whether or not people look younger. And casual sex with different partners did not help prevent wrinkles. If anything, Weeks said, the stress and pressure made for premature aging. "Masturbation was a healthy alternative to sex," Weeks said, "but would not be as beneficial as copulation". For monogamous relationships, however, the instructions are clear: get out the candles and romantic music.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WOULD LIKE TO STAY YOUNG,
BUT DON'T HAVE THE ENERGY...
Arcuately reciprocating human sexual fitness machine; March 12, 1999; Abstract: The invention is an arcuately reciprocating human sexual fitness machine having male and female seats from which the female occupant may pivot and reciprocate along an arcuate path forwardly about a horizontal axis toward and away from the other seat, and may also reciprocate along a horizontal path. Counterbalancing of the female seat provides a levitating effect as the seat pivots forward. The machine provides a device for a male and female couple to engage in intercourse while both are seated, and able to be in complete and uninterrupted frontal contact upwardly from the genital region. The female seat is provided with an integral upper high restraint, a remote abutting surface for contact with the occupant of the male seat and is bifurcated to produce an open center for sexual access with a sitting surface forward of the horizontal pivoting axis of the seat.
Ex Claim Text: A human sexual fitness machine to assist a human male and female couple to engage in sexual intercourse with reduced effect of gravity or the reduced expenditure of substantial energy comprising: a seat for each of said female and male of said couple operatively associated with said machine, said male and female seats positioned to substantially face each other, means positioned on said machine for reciprocating movement of the female seat independently of the male seat and selectively continually toward and away from the male seat, means positioned on said machine and connected to the female seat for independently and selectively continually pivoting said female seat about a horizontal axis relative to the other seat, whereby said couple seated upon said seats may control their engagement in sexual intercourse while substantially supported by the seats thereby reducing the amount of energy required or the body control necessary. Patent Number: 5875779 Issue Date: 1999 03 02 If you would like to purchase a copy of this patent, please call MicroPatent at 800-648-6787. Inventor(s): Fuhrman, Andrew M. Fuhrman, Roxanne S.

CYBERSEX ETIQUETTE THE OFFICIAL RULES...
[Thanks to Peter CAUS Citizens Against UFO Secrecy ]
1. Before becoming involved in any kind of cybersex please make sure your spouse, boyfriend, kids, etc. are out of the room at the time (preferably out of the house and not during a major holiday when your in-laws are also present or at a time when all your relatives are in attendance). It really gets difficult explaining what you are doing undressing in front of the computer, drooling out of one corner of your mouth, moaning and groaning while the buzz of various "toys" can be heard.
2. For men, before you begin, please check that your modem protector is on, along with the splash guard for your keyboard. It will stop the future embarrassment of telling the computer technician that your keys are "stuck" and you have no idea why.
3. For women, no matter what you are truly wearing, such as sweat pants, sweat shirt, torn bathrobe, slippers, t-shirt with stains on the front, bloomer underwear that could cover a car or be used for a parachute, always tell your potential cyber partner you are wearing a thong, garter belt with black stockings, and your best wonderbra (the one that has everything pulled up so high your bellybutton is under your chin), and a pair of high heels. We don't want to destroy that myth that all women dress that way when we sit down at the computer. (Although I truly wear these things each and every time I sit in front of my computer. It does seem to cause a bit of a commotion at the office but I have certainly worked my way up the ranks in the company.)
As for what the man should be wearing, we all know that they are all naked and wearing just a smile.
4. If the cyber begins to get very hot please refrain from straddling your monitor. There are many potential emergency room stories to be told if you get overly excited, not to mention the many years of therapy to get you to let go and not continue this sordid affair with your 15" screen.
5. If the cyber is not going well, please let the other person know in the best way you can. It is not very polite to tell them that you are doing your nails, have just made up your grocery list for the next month, shingled the house, pulled out one of your wisdom teeth because you were bored, would rather read the instructions on how to set the time on your VCR, checked your fridge to make sure the light still works when you open the door, and last but not least, stuck your tongue to an ice cube tray to stop the monotony.
6. When it really starts getting hot and heavy, please check your spelling before you send that embarrassing typo, i.e.:
- Oh baby, let me suck on those beautiful beasts of yours
- I just love your hot, wet posse (kinda puts a western slant on things hmmmm, things could get interesting with boots and spurs though)
- Oh baby, you have such a big coke (hope you got the supersized fries and burger with that)
- That's it baby, show me that beautiful clint (go ahead, make my day)
- and the proverbial Oh fork me hard!
7. Pay attention to what is going on. Please refrain from putting your "coke" in one place, when your cyberpartner had just typed that it was someplace else. If you have no clue as to where the cyber is going, ask to buy a vowel.
If you are really lost and can't keep up, or you had a case of premature cybering and really do not feel like typing for 3 days to satisfy your female counterpart, just pretend you got bumped offline. That always works and at least she won't take it so personal. Please refrain from the excuse, "I have to let my dog out."
8. Once both cyberpartners have been satisfied, or faked satisfaction (oh great, we now have the added pressure of faking cyberorgasms too), at least say thank you. (Thank you can mean, thank God its over, or THANK YOU because you truly had a wonderful time.)
9. If it was a truly bad experience, do not feel pressured into ever having cybersex with this person again. When they ask for your email address, just give them the wrong one. If they begin to pester you, its proper etiquette to just bump yourself offline, or just say, "HUH? I never got your message". Nobody needs to suffer a really bad cyber twice.
10. Last but not least, remember that cybersex will not make you go blind, unless you keep all the lights out in the house while having it, watching the screen in the dark does make your eyes burn. Realize that you may be addicted if your real life partner walks by naked and you'd rather be typing with one hand and still trying to keep a steady rhythm going.
Sex can be just as nice with a partner you know. And just for variety, when your right hand gets tired, try dating your left hand for something different.

TECH SUPPORT REQUEST
[Thanks to John Folsom]
Last year I upgraded Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and launches during system initialization where it monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3 and Beer Bash 2.5 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected. I cannot seem to purge Wife 1.0 from my system. I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 1.0 but uninstall does not work on this program. Can you help me?
- Jonathan Powell
Dear Jonathan Powell:
This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a "UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT" program.
Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by its creator to run everything. WARNING: Do not try to uninstall, delete, or purge the program from the system once installed. Trying to uninstall Wife 1.0 can be disastrous. Doing so may destroy your hard and/or floppy drive. Trying to uninstall or remove Wife 1.0 will destroy valuable system resources. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 1.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this. Some have tried to install Girlfriend 2.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original system. Look in your manual under Warnings Alimony/Child Support. Others have tried to run Girlfriend 1.0 in the background, while Wife 1.0 is running. Eventually Wife 1.0 detects Girlfriend 1.0 and a system conflict occurs, this can lead to a non-recoverable system crash. Some users have tried to download similar products such as Fling and 1NiteStand. Often their systems have become infected with a virus. I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with the situation.
Having Wife 1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Protection Faults (GPFs). You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur. The best course of action will be to push apologize button then reset button as soon as lockup occurs. System will run smooth as long as you take the blame for all GPFs. Wife 1.0 is a great program but is very high maintenance.
Suggestions for improved operation of Wife 1.0
Monthly use utilities such as TLC and FTD
Frequently use Communicator 5.0

THE STORY OF CREATION (OR WHY MEN ARE...)
[Thanks to John]
Moses' account of the creation in the book of Genesis is so familiar and so entrenched in our cultural heritage that many accept as actual historic fact the assertion that Woman was created from one of Adam's ribs.
Last week, at a dig in the escarpments along the western shore of the Dead Sea, archeologists uncovered ancient, original texts that predate Moses' writings by 1,300 years.
Translated, their account of life's beginnings on earth are much more scientifically plausible.
" ...and God created Woman, giving her three breasts to succor her young.
And God spake, saying to her, "I have created thee as I see fit. Is there anything about thee that thou would prefer differently?"
And Woman spoke, saying, "Lord, I am not made to birth whole litters. I need but two breasts."
And God said, "Thou speak wisely, as I have created thee with wisdom..."
There was a crack of lightning and a lingering odor of ozone, and it was done, and Woman stood holding her third breast in her hand.
"Now just what am I going to do with this useless boob?" Woman exclaimed.
And so it was, God created Man...

The wife says, "Sweetheart, let's do the same thing we did here forty years ago!"
The husband stops the car. His wife backs against the fence, and he immediately jumps her like a bass on a junebug. They make love like never before. She was screaming and gyrating and shaking uncontrollably; and when it was over, much to her husband's surprise, she fainted!
After he revived her and got her back into the car, the husband, quite astounded says, "Darlin', you sure never moved like that forty years ago or anytime since that I can remember!"
The women, gasping for breath, finally able to speak, says, "Forty years ago that darn fence wasn't electrified!"
