Animals

Since the dawn of humankind, we have been curious about animals. Therefore, with the number of hormonal teenagers in the world right now, it’s not surprising that the first couple of hundred results on Google are on the sex habits of animals:

Squids have sex all day long only pausing to deposit eggs. This hasn’t been achieved by anyone yet but there are people such as Usher who aim to accomplish this feat meaning they’re going to ‘give it to you non-stop.’ (Love in This Club - Usher) Yeah right.

An animal called the ‘Histiostoma murchiei’ lays eggs without needing to be fertilized - and then she has sex with her sons. People sitting behind the computers thinking ‘Eww...’, stop. I can tell you with confidence that the word, ‘incest’ was made before the discovery of this animal. If it makes the world seem any better, the sons die soon after sex.

Sex has been talked about for centuries. It is often featured prominently in popular films and songs. There is a sex industry that is legal and illegal. Our habits, at least our sex habits, are so similar to other animals - does it make you wonder if there is something about sex that we haven’t yet known about?

As a teenager myself who has two friends (whose first names both start with 'C') who can’t resist talking about sex when words such as 'hard', 'up' and 'rock' come up in innocent conversations, I find it shocking that there may be something about sex I don't know about.

Bralessness

Bralessness is a foreign dimension. Women have nightmares about having no support. Long gone are the days when women burnt/stopped wearing their bras against the oppression of women. Germaine Greer once stated that ‘Bras are a ludicrous invention.’ Those women (and the occasional man) reading this post might be looking down at their bras thinking, ‘But this is God’s greatest creation!’ I agree.

Although Greer strives for the equality of women in society, I cannot completely agree with her reasoning and methods. Equality for women and men cannot be achieved completely but we can get as close as possible to it. If you haven’t noticed, men and women have different body parts. Unless we are seeking to become hermaphrodites in the next decade, we will always be different physically and there are different needs for different body parts.

Bras support breasts and slow down the process of sagging. Thus, connotations of bralessness often include saggy boobs or wrinkled breasts. Now imagine the damage of Greer’s braless movement did to those women’s breasts! Am I the only one thinking of rotten kiwis?
