Is It Smart to Put Butter on a Bun?

No. Save the butter for breakfast.


Butter is the wrong thing to put on a burn. It will trap the heat in the skin and prolong the pain. Use cool water instead.


I do have to say that there are some kitchen supplies that may be useful for the pain of a burn, straight from the medical literature in India: boiled potato skins and honey.


Why honey? Honey is sometimes used for its antibacterial effects. Boiled potato skins may seem to be an unusual treatment, but they maintain a moist environment.


The best thing to do when you grab a hot pan is to cool your burn under running water, and only after it has thoroughly cooled, apply an antibiotic ointment. For severe burns you should go to your local ER.

What Is a Hickey?

A hickey is a bruise that forms when a person sucks and lightly bites an area on another person’s body, causing the blood vessels under the skin to break. It is also a badge of honor for horny fifteen-year-olds all around the world.

Can a Women Ejaculate?

There have been many claims about female ejaculation, but this was always dismissed as urination during intercourse.

 

More recent evidence has found that higher levels of a compound, prostatic acid phosphatase, has been found in patients who claim to have female ejaculation.  This compound is also found in high levels in male ejaculate and originates in the
prostate.


Researchers have taken an anatomic approach to the issue of prostatelike components in female ejaculate. They believe that if women ejaculate a fluid that is not urine, then it must be coming from someplace other than the bladder. The most likely source was thought to be the female paraurethral glands or Skene’s glands. Autopsy tests of Skene’s glands have found substances identical to those found in the prostate. Some experts now call these glands the female prostate.

 

So, it seems highly likely that some women can, in fact, ejaculate, but causing that to happen may be as tough as finding the G-spot.

Are There Specific Things That Affect The Scent of a Women?

My wife’s “friend” once told her that eating pineapple made you smell good “down there.” The friend had heard this from a call girl. It doesn’t get more evidence based than that.


There is, however, no scientific research on this sensitive subject. People do believe that you are what you eat, so what you ingest, ladies, can affect the smell and taste of your womanly secretions. Foods that are often mentioned as having the potential to cause problems “down there” are asparagus, garlic, and curry.

Can A Man Ever Run Out of Sperm?

What a nightmare. The well running dry. Could it be possible?


The answer is no, but there is some bad news.


A woman is born with all the eggs she will ever have, but a man’s supply of sperm is
renewed throughout his life. This sounds great, but researchers have found that men over thirty-five have more abnormalities in sperm movement and sperm with more seriously damaged DNA than younger men. It also has been found that over time, average sperm counts have been decreasing.

 

The World Health Organization guidelines say a normal sperm count consists of twenty million sperm per ejaculate, with 50 percent motility and 60 percent normal morphology. This is different than twenty-five years ago when the normal count was near one hundred million.

Do Men Need More Sex Than Women?

Men are often told that they have sex on the brain, and it appears as though this may be true.


In one recent study in Nature Neuroscience, a team of researchers had twenty-eight men and women look at erotic photographs while an MRI took scans of their brain. The subjects looked at arousing photographs of heterosexual couples engaged in sexual activity, sexually attractive nudes of the opposite sex, and at pictures of men and women in nonsexual situations.

 

When analyzing the MRI results, researchers found that two areas of the brain, the
amygdala and the hypothalamus, were more activated in men than in women when viewing identical sexual stimuli.


So, do men have sex on the brain? Of course, and do bears shit in the woods? We really didn’t need a team of researchers to answer this one.

Is There Really a G-Spot?

An article in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2001 called the G-spot a sort of gynecologic UFO. Well, the authors of that article may want to start readying themselves for space travel.

 

That is, after they read this paper from Cairo University: “The Electrovaginogram: Study of the Vaginal Electric Activity and Its Role in the Sexual Act and Disorders.” In this paper, the authors investigated the hypothesis that the vagina generates
electric waves, which affect vaginal contraction during penile thrusting. They found electric waves could be recorded from the vagina. They also postulated that there was a vaginal pacemaker that seems to represent the G-spot, which is claimed to be a small area of erotic sensitivity in the vagina.


So what is this vaginal Loch Ness Monster?

 

The G-spot is simply a small area located on the upper wall of the vagina, toward the belly, about two to three inches from the vaginal opening. The G-spot was named in honor of Ernst Grafenberg, a German physician who, in the 1950s, wrote an article that mentioned an erotic zone on the anterior wall of the vagina that would swell during sexual stimulation.


There are various opinions on the best way to find the G-spot. Some women say that being on top during intercourse works best. Others swear by rear-entry as the best way to hit the G-spot. Some even say that because of its location, a shorter, smaller penis may actually be more effective at reaching the G-spot. A clue to its location may be that some women feel a sudden urge to urinate when their G-spot is touched—not surprising since the G-spot is located right near the urethra.

Does The Kind of Underpants Men Wear Affect Their Fertility?

Everyone has a preference.


President Clinton revealed on MTV that he preferred boxers.

Kramer on Seinfeld said, “I need the secured packaging of jockeys. My boys need a
house!”

The question is whether or not there is any science behind making this decision.

It was originally thought that wearing tight underwear could lead to infertility in men as it may raise testes temperature to a point where it interferes with sperm production.


In 1998 in The Journal of Urology, Drs. Robert Munkelwitz and Bruce R. Gilbert analyzed semen samples from ninety-seven men with fertility problems. Half of them wore briefs, the other half wore boxers. The researchers measured the men’s scrotal, internal, and skin temperatures, both while the men were wearing underwear and again when they were going commando.

 

They found no significant differences between the two groups of men in scrotal temperature, sperm count, sperm concentration, or sperm motility. The purpose of the scrotum is to maintain the testes at a temperature of approximately five degrees less than the rest of the body (about 93.6 degrees F). It appears as though the scrotum does its work whether you are in boxers, briefs, or free ballin’.

So you can make your own fashion choice and your sperm won’t know the difference.

How's This For a Massage? (Hidden Camera)




How's this for a nice, cold massage?

When Good Friends Say Good Bye


When we look back at our lives, we usually note the books that we read, the work that we do and the people that we meet. If you can imagine a sheet of paper, our lives are like straight lines. There will be some lines which just cut across our line, these represent friends or people who come into our lives for a short time. Then there are lines that for sometime, merge with us, and then part away. These are friends who spent some time with us but then left us, for everyone is on their own journey in life. Yesterday, we said good bye to one of our best friends, Ebb and Rory Hinchliffe.


They were leaving for Dallas after being here for 2 years. They lived in a magnificent house in Ampang, where every morning at sunrise, Ebb would watch the birds and admire the magnificent sunrise behind KLCC while excitedly anticipating the new day.

As I write this email, 12 hours after their departure, they should still be in the air as their flight, via Japan Airlines, with one refueling stop at Narita, will take approximately 23 hours.



My wife, Pauline, used to work for Ebb at Volt, but based at Texas Instrument (TI). They started the Volt recruitment business in TI from scratch, going through many obstacles and frustrations together. The funny thing was that they even had to contend with a very difficult Volt country manager, who despite working for the same company, was never on their side. It's a long story but Ebb and Pauline love for their staff was evident to everyone in TI. They made a good team. Rory provided the moral support with her excellent cooking and constant encouragement, just like what the picture below shows.



Although I may be young and foolish, I do know that there's a bond between good friends that never break. Similar to the bond between a mother and her child, friends have a bond that tugs the heart whenever the other is near.

Ebb, Rory, it was a wonderful experience knowing the both of you. I believe Pauline was so lucky to have you as a boss and friend. The both of you will probably never read this post and will never know how much last year's Thanksgiving dinner meant to us.

Good luck to you both. God is always kind to nice people. And you're one of them.

How Your Liver Gets Damaged?


Good rest and sound sleep is very Important. If you do not get enough of sleep, toxins tend to accumulate in your body, affecting your health and your mood...


The main causes of liver damage are:
1.
Sleeping too late and waking up too late are the main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming overly done foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.


We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our body to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."


Because:
Evening at 9 - 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (de-toxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on her health.


Evening at 11pm - 1am : The de-toxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state. Early morning 1 - 3am : de-toxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5am : de-toxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the de-toxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5 - 7am : de-toxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.


Morning 7 - 9am : Absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 -10am rather than no meal at all. Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood.

Therefore, always try to have a good sleep and don't sleep late!.
