Men and women really are from different planets

While I shouldn't be incredibly surprised by the results of a study I read today, it still made me chuckle. Men and women really are from two different planets.

In the October 2013 issue of Archives of Sexual Behavior, a study concocted by researchers from the University of Texas at Austin was published, where 24,000 people were asked about sexual regrets of their pasts. Unsurprisingly, men and women tended to trend differently when it came to such regrets.

Women's most common regrets:

1. "Losing their virginity to the wrong partner" (24%)

2. "Cheating on a present or past partner" (23%)

3. "Moving too fast sexually" (20%)


Men's most common regrets:

1. "Failing to make a move on a prospective sexual partner" (27%)

2. "Not being more sexually adventurous in their youth" (23%)

3. "Not being more sexually adventurous when single" (19%)


Yes, while women seemed to feel guilty for having too much sex, men felt guilty for not having enough sex. I picture such a man and a woman, whom are romantically involved with one another but going through some rough times, engaging in the following conversation:

Juanita Mann: "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Every single day, I pray that you were my first and not that jerk, Joe Blow."

Mike Schwantz: "I feel guilty too. I wish I had penetrated many women before you."

Juanita Mann: "What? What do you mean? I wanted to save myself for you!"

Mike Schwantz: "I totally respect that, but while you'd be over there saving yourself for me, I'd be off screwing every woman in sight so I could better pleasure you, to make you happy, and make this thing last. In essence, my penis getting around would likely save our relationship."

Juanita Mann: "I don't want to be one of THOSE women. I don't want to be a woman you just see as an object. I really wish I hadn't have let things move so fast with you."

Mike Schwantz: "So fast? That was the second date. That's not fast at all. If you had waited to a third date, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation right now."

Juanita Mann: "You mean, you wouldn't have dated me after our second date if I didn't sleep with you?"

Mike Schwantz: "Hey, a guy has needs. If my guy downstairs ain't happy, I'm not happy. That's why I wish I would have slept around more when I was single."

Juanita Mann: "Seriously? When I was single, I was just hoping to meet a guy like you."

Mike Schwantz: "Really? When I was single, I just wanted to know where I could stick it."

Juanita Mann: "I can't believe everything you're saying! I think we should break up!"

Mike Schwantz: "Very well. So, what are you going to do from here then?"

Juanita Mann: "Probably just talk to and cry with my girlfriends, get drunk, and slowly but surely, find it in me to get over you and find someone else with whom I hope to find true love. ...and you?"

Mike Schwantz: "Go out with the guys, hit on some women, and take at least one of them home with me to have a wild night of sex. Tomorrow's Friday, so yeah, that sounds good."

Juanita: "Oh my God! How could you?" ::cries and runs off::

Mike Schwantz: "What got into her? Not me anymore." ::laughs, before going deep in thought:: "So, who can I stick it in now?"

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Face guarding is legal in college football and the NFL

I just wanted to remind fans and announcers especially, that face guarding is legal in both college football and the NFL. It all comes down to contact. So long as a defender doesn't make contact with an intended receiver, he doesn't have to turn around to play the ball. I can't tell you how many times every week I hear announcers talk about face guarding being a penalty. It's not. I even heard one announcer yesterday state, "If the defender doesn't turn around and play the ball, the ref will call pass interference every time." That's simply not true. Courtesy of referee Bill LeMonnier, he says this with regard to the rule at the college level (answered on 8/12/13): "NCAA rules on pass interference require the face guarding to have contact to be a foul. No contact, no foul by NCAA rules." In the NFL rule book, this is written:  "Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to: (a) Contact by a ...
