Are you a user of adult services? Participate in a study.0

meParticipate in a research project!
I was browsing through some phone sex newsgroups, placing ads, and I noticed a little advertisement about a research project studying users of adult services.I don’t use these services, I’m just a provider. But my curiosity was piqued. I sent an email to the person who placed the advertisement, and promptly received back a response, which said that yes, they still need hundreds more participants.

It seemed fitting to place this on the front page here, where many visitors land. If you’re one of the people the researcher is looking for, take the survey. Or else. (Just kidding…)

Dear All,

I am a Doctoral Psychology student from a University in Melbourne, Australia researching the psychological characteristics of people who engage in Cybersex activities such as using Adult Chat lines, surfing for porn, erotic e-mailing, web-cam etc. For example, do they experience greater loneliness, sexual anxiety, depression etc if they engage in these activities for longer periods of time?

I am currently looking for anonymous participants to complete my questionnaire. At the end of the questionnaire there are a number of support services that you may contact if you suspect that your Cybersex activities are becoming a problem. The link for the questionnaire is provided below.

Kind regards

A middle school teacher0

meA middle school teacher called, and we talked about education. I’ve recently been spending a lot of time in middle schools. No, I’m not a Principal, haha, I just play one when I’m doing phone sex. I really am a teacher, though. If you want to talk about education, we certainly can do that. I have loads of opinions about education in general, and gender-related education topics specifically.

We did get to talk about the need for dress codes in middle schools. We also ragged on parents who allow their pubescent girls to dress like little hookers, sluts, whores, and nymphets. Of course the point of it all was the difficulty a male teacher has being in the presence of such burgeoning young fertility.

On one level, I get annoyed, because it really is pointless for girls to go to school not dressed properly, wearing such scanty clothes that they’re cold all day, what with all that flesh showing. The poor boys don’t stand a chance, even if they wanted to partake at the trough of education. But on another level, it’s ok with me if you think it’s alright to send your girls to school in short skirts, bare midriffs, bare shoulders, slutty makeup, and porn star hair. I may be pissed about it during the day when the pheremone level in the classroom rises so high that the kids can’t concentrate on their work, but at night, their math teachers and English teachers call me to readjust their own hormone levels.

So it really does work for me after all.

It is well-known that men outnumber women in the upper echelons of business. In spite of the efforts of women on the outside and on the ladder of what ought to be success, women are not coming close to men in upper management, and we have yet to figure out why.

Researchers Lise Vesterlund of the University of Pittsburgh and Muriel Niederle of Stanford University ran an experiment to find some reason why only 2.5% of women make it to the top.

In the first part of the experiment, men and women were asked to add up as many sets of double-digit numbers as they could within a five minute period, and were paid 50 cents for each correct answer. Next the volunteers were divided into groups of four. The same amount of money was going to be given out, but all of it would go to the person at each table who scored the most right answers.

For the final part of the experiment, the test subjects were asked to choose whether they wanted to go back to the ‘piecework’ model or continue with the ‘competitive’ model. Women overwhelmingly chose to go back to the ‘piecework’ model, even those who were best at solving answers and likely to win all the money in their group.

The researchers concluded that the factor in the difference is that men enjoy competition and women do not. I think this is a little simplistic, as “competition” is not the only thing that was being tested here, and certainly not the only character trait that would come into play.

In fact, “competitiveness” is a loaded word, with positive connotations that are valued in our culture. Is it really competitiveness when somebody without significant math skills is willing to wager that they will manage to take all? No, of course not. That is gambling, of which competitiveness is a small part. Gambling is, as we all know, a typically male behavior.

Again, look at what the women did and how we are describing them. If the women who participated (and by extension, those in society at large) are not “competitive”, then they must be “non-competitive”, surely a bad character trait.

Now look at what the males were doing as gambling. What’s the opposite of gambling that you’ll win or lose all? How about working to assure equitable distribution of earnings? Is that such a bad thing?
