7 SURPRISING SEX FACTS


What you should know about sex, but don’t

We all do it, or at least want to be doing it, but do you know everything you need to? Even if you consider yourself to be a Karma Sutra king or queen, sex is a deep and complex subject and, quite frankly, there’s bound to be something you haven’t yet discovered. So, let’s talk sex:

Sex is good for you

According to male legend Arnold Schwarzenegger ‘The best activities for your health are humping and pumping’. In many ways this is true; safe sex does have lots of health benefits. Those who have sex once or twice a week have been shown to have higher levels of immunoglobulin A or IgA, an antibody which helps protect you from respiratory diseases like the cold and flu. Also researchers have found that men in their 20s who had five or more ejaculations per week were one third less likely to develop prostate cancer in later life. It would seem Mr Schwarzenegger is on to something.


Get more sex

Everyone wants more sex and we know how you can get it. Dr Helen Fisher, biological anthropologist at Rutgers University explains that ‘People fall in love when dopamine levels rise in their brains”. This is the neurotransmitter that controls the brain’s reward and pleasure centres. You can only get more dopamine by doing two things. The first is to have more sex. The second is to recreate a rush of dopamine by doing an exciting activity, such as bungee jumping, flying in a helicopter or even doing something simple like climbing a tree. Once you have raised your partner’s levels of dopamine, they will want to have sex with you more.

Sex o’clock

When we think of having a romantic encounter with that special someone, we often think of moonlight hitting silk sheets or candles flickering in a seductive, half-lit room. However, our bodies may be more attuned to having sex in the morning. Men’s testosterone levels peak in the morning and so men become more easily aroused at this time. Although many men wake up erect anyway, this does not actually mean they are sexually aroused – but what better way to start a day be it giving or receiving.

Who enjoys sex more?

When you’re under the covers, who is enjoying sex more; him or her? Interestingly this is not a new debate. In Ancient Greek mythology Hera complained to Zeus that he got more pleasure from their sex than she did. According to a new study, it is possible that Hera was telling the truth. Researchers at the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, found that nearly nine out of 10 young men reported having an orgasm most or all of the time they have sex with their partner.  However, less than half of young women experience orgasm that frequently when they have sex with their partner.

Rules of attraction

It is possible that beauty is not in the eye of the beholder, but rather in the nose of the beholder. We have sex because we have an innate instinct to reproduce.  Therefore we are attracted to certain people because they will produce a strong baby. We find out who will produce these strong babies through our noses. For example, when people sweat pheromones are released; revealing their type of immune system. If their immune system is the opposite to the person smelling them, the two will be a good match, and should find each other irresistible.


How to tell when she wants it

We all know women are hard to read, but there are several physical clues that can help you to know when a woman wants to have sex with you. Firstly, when a woman is aroused her pupils will dilate. If a woman sees a man who she likes when out, but does not know him, she will give him prolonged eye contact. Her lips will also purse and if you catch her repeatedly gazing at your lips then it is very likely that she wants you. However, if a woman crosses her legs or arms and repeatedly looks away from you, it’s time to leave.

We all had a clitoris

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to understand what it is like to be a member of the opposite sex? Once upon a time, it would seem we were not all that different from each other. In the first trimester of pregnancy, the fetus is gender neutral, being neither male nor female. However, the fetus has all the makings of a clitoris and vagina. It is not until eight to 12 weeks have passed that males become distinct.

10 FACTS ABOUT 10 GREATEST POSTERS OF ALL TIME


Posters have been around for hundreds of years. They have been used for many purposes including promoting products, events patriotism and movie stars. More recently they have become a popular art form, remembering posters of the past and historic photographs. This is a collection of 10 images commonly seen in a poster format, along with what I hope will be some interesting behind the scene information.
10
Lunch atop a Skyscraper
Lunchtime Atop A Skyscraper By Sixx83
I have always suspected that this was a fake or manipulated photo, but it’s the real thing. The legendary photograph was taken by daredevil photographer Charles Ebbets, on September 29, 1932. The photo shows 11 workers having a lunch break on the 69th floor of the RCA Building (now the GE Building) in New York, during the last months of construction. Most of the men have now been identified by family members. The men at the extreme left and extreme right are Matty O’Shaughnessy and Patrick (Sonny) Glynn, both from County Galway, Ireland. The two emigrants had left Shaneaglish in Galway in the 1920s destined for a new life in America. The man sitting fourth from the right is Francis Michael Rafferty and to his right is his lifelong best friend Stretch Donahue. On the same day Ebbets took another photo of the same workers called Men Asleep on a Girder, which shows the same workers napping on the beam. You can see it here.
Interesting Fact: The photo credit on posters was listed as ‘Unknown’ for many years. The copyright owner of the photograph did not recognize Charles C. Ebbets as the photographer until 2003, after months of investigation by a private investigation firm. The photo has also been frequently miss-attributed to Lewis Hine whose photographs documented the construction of the Empire State Building, in 1931.

We Can Do It!
Wecandoitposter1
This poster was created by Americagraphic artist. J. Howard Miller. In 1941, Miller’s work came to the attention of the Westinghouse Company and he was hired to create a series of posters to sponsor the company’s War Production Coordinating Committee. This poster is commonly called Rosie the Riveter, however at the time of the poster’s release that name wasn’t associated with the picture. That came a year later later when a popular patriotic song called “Rosie the Riveter came out. The poster became a symbol for women who produced war supplies and took new jobs replacing the male workers who were in the military. Miller based the “We Can Do It!” poster on a United Press International picture taken of Geraldine Doyle working at a factory. Ironically, Doyle only lasted two weeks on the job before quitting because she feared a hand injury would prevent her from playing her cello. The poster did not become widely known until the 1970s and 80s when it began to be used by advocates of women’s equality in the workplace
Interesting Fact: Geraldine Doyle, who was the inspiration behind the now famous poster, died last year at the age 86. Doyle didn’t know she was the model for the poster until 1984, when she came across an article in Modern Maturity magazine, now known as AARP, which linked a photo of her to the poster. You can see the photo here.
8
Farrah Fawcett
Farrahfawcettposter
When this photo was taken, Fawcett was still an unknown actress. She had not yet signed on for the hit show Charlie’s Angels, but got some work doing commercials. Her agents wanted a bikini shot of Fawcett and hired freelance photographer Bruce McBroom, who had worked with her before. The shot was taken by a pool at Fawcett’s Bel Air, California, home where she and her husband at the time, actor Lee Majors lived. According to a friend, Fawcett styled her own hair and did her make-up without the aid of a mirror. She heightened her blonde highlights with lemon juice. McBroom used an old Indian Blanket covering his car seat as a backdrop. She tried on several swimsuits, but when Fawcett finally tried on a red one-piece to cover a childhood scar on her stomach, McBroom knew he had something special. Fawcett selected her six favorite pictures out of 40 rolls of film eventually narrowing her choice to the now famous picture. The 1976 poster of Farrah Fawcett sold record-breaking 12 million copies.
Interesting Fact: This year on February 2nd, which would have been Farrah Fawcett’s 64th birthday, the family donated several items to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, including the infamous red bathing suit she wore in the famous pin up poster.
7
Lord Kitchener Wants You
Kitchener-Britons
This famous recruitment poster depicting Secretary of State for War, Lord Kitchener, first appeared on September 5th, 1914, on the cover of the London Opinion. During that month the country had its highest number of volunteers. The Parliamentary Recruiting Committee later obtained permission to use the design in a poster format. Kitchener organized the largest volunteer army that the UK had ever seen to fight Germany on the Western Front. In 1916, Lord Kitchener died when the warship taking him to negotiations in Russia was sunk by a German mine. After his death, Kitchener was often dismissed as a great poster but not a great administrator. However, after new records were opened, many historians now praise his strategic vision, especially for laying the groundwork for the expansion of munitions production and his central role in expanding the British army.
Interesting Fact: The poster became the inspiration for the legendary Uncle Sam “I Want You For The US Army” poster, which America used in both World War I and II. It also inspired the famous Smokey the Bear “Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires” Poster.
6
Tennis Girl
Tennis-Girl-450
This famous poster is simply called Tennis Girl, and was taken by Martin Elliot, in 1976. When the poster first went on sale it sold more than two million copies. Most likely most were bought by young teenage boys. The photo shows 18 year-old art student Fiona Butler, who was Elliot’s girlfriend at the time, at the Birmingham University courts at Edgbaston. Fiona did not play tennis regularly, and had to borrow the dress and racket from a friend. She wore her father’s plimsolls (early training shoes), and used her dog’s tennis balls to scatter around the court. Elliot then persuaded her to let him take a shot of her hitching up her dress to reveal her bare bottom. Elliott sold the image rights to the poster company Athena, but retained the copyright and earned an estimated £250,000 in royalty payments. Fiona Butler did not receive any money from the poster.
Interesting Fact: This year, after more than 30 years and numerous refusals to pose again, Fiona decided to come forward to promote an exhibition on lawn tennis as a subject in art, which will be held at Birmingham’s Barber Institute of Fine Arts this summer. She believes her picture has earned a place in the history of tennis. Fiona is now a 52 year old mother of three, and is married to a wealthy business man. She has no regrets about posing for the photo, even though she has never earned a penny from it. Photographer Martin Elliot died last year at the age of 63. You can see what Fiona looks like today as she stands next to her famous posterhere.

Albert Einstein
Funnyface
This famous photo and popular poster of Albert Einstein was taken                  March 14, 1951, by UPI photographer Arthur Sasse. After an event at Princeton to honor Einstein on his 72nd birthday, Sasse and other photographers were desperately trying to convince Einstein to smile for the camera. Einstein was in a car returning from the event and was tired of smiling all day. When the photographers didn’t let him alone he is said to have shouted: “That’s enough, that’s enough!” When these words didn’t deter the photographers, the reaction they received was even better. The photo became one of the most popular photos ever taken of Einstein.
Interesting Fact: Einstein liked the picture so much that he cropped it so only his face could be seen. Then he made several copies of it and sent the picture in greeting cards to friends. The original picture shows Einstein sitting in the backseat of a car between Dr Frank Aydelotte, the former head of the Institute for Advanced Study, and his wife. You can see the original photo here.
4
American Girl in Italy
Ruth-Orking-American-Girl-In-Italy
Many will recognize this poster from seeing it in pizza joints around the world. It was taken by American photographer Ruth Orkin, in 1951. Orkin went to Israel on a photo assignment for Life Magazine and from there went to Florence Italy and met artist and fellow American Jinx Allen (now known as Ninalee Craig). The two talked about their shared experiences traveling alone as young single women. Orkin then thought it would be interesting to take pictures of what it’s really like. She titled the series of photographs “Don’t Be Afraid to Travel Alone” Orkin photographed Allan shopping in the markets, crossing traffic, riding a carriage and flirting at a cafe. After Orkin saw Allan walking in the city square and being ogled by men, she asked her to walk through again. She took just two pictures resulting in the now famous photo. Ruth Orkin died of cancer in 1985, at the age of 63.
Interesting Fact: The woman in the photo, Ninalee Craig, is reported as saying “I clutched my shawl to me because that sheaths the body; it was my protection, my shield. I was walking through a sea of men.” Today Craig admits, “I was enjoying every minute of it. They were Italian and I love Italians.” This year marks the 60th anniversary of the photograph. You can see Ninalee Craig standing in front of her poster here.

Kiss by the Hotel de Ville
Hotel De Ville Kiss Robert Dosineau Barewallsdotcom
In 1950, Life Magazine asked French photographer Robert Doisneau to do a photo spread about Paris lovers. After spotting a couple kissing, he approached them and asked them if they wouldn’t mind kissing again for the camera. Françoise Delbart, 20, and Jacques Carteaud, 23, were both aspiring actors and were taken to three different places. First Doisneau took some pictures on the Place de la Concorde, then on the Rue de Rivoli, and finally the Hôtel de Ville. After the picture appeared in Life magazine it was forgotten for more than 30 years, and stayed in the archives of the photo agency where Doisneau worked. It was eventually snapped up by a poster company and became one of the world’s best selling posters. Because of the posters success, many people made false claims as to being the kissing couple. In 1993, a couple took Doisneau to court demanding compensation for taking the picture without their knowledge. The lawsuit forced Doisneau to admit that the shot wasn’t spontaneous, and he had used models for the picture. With this admission, the lawsuit was dismissed. After more than 40 years in obscurity, Françoise Delbart, (now Mrs Bornet) came forward with the original print, which bears the photographer’s authentic signature and stamp that Doisneau sent her just a few days after the shoot.
Interesting Fact: Less than a year after the picture was taken, the couple broke up. Francoise married Alain Bornet, a documentary and promotional filmmaker. Jacques Carteaud became a winegrower in the South of France until his death, in 2004. Robert Doisneau continued as a freelance photographer, until he died in 1994, two weeks shy of his 82nd birthday. In 2005, Françoise Bornet put the original print up for auction. She expected to receive about $25,000 for it. The winning bid was 155,000 Euros. (More than $200,000) You can see her in 2005 holding up the famous image here.
2
Che Guevara
Poster3
This famous photo, known as Guerrillero Heroico (Heroic Guerrilla) was taken in Havana, Cuba, on March 5, 1960, by Alberto Korda. He snapped the photo when Guevara unexpectedly appeared on the stage for a brief moment, while Fidel Castro was eulogizing the victims of the La Coubre explosion. The two-tone portrait of                                     Che Guevara was created in 1968, by Irish artist Jim Fitzpatrick. The image is rated among the world’s top 10 most iconic images, right alongside the Mona Lisa. It has been reproduced throughout the world on posters, T-shirts and on any surface capable of holding an image. You can see the other photos Korda took on that dayhere.
Interesting Fact: Because of what he called “crass commercial” utilization of the image, Fitzpatrick announced this year that he intended to copyright the image. He initially released it copyright-free for intended use among revolutionary groups in Europe. He plans to hand over the copyright to the Guevara family.
1
Ali – Liston
E08Ad7Ea22808Ff0Dcb8Ec5A2A21Aea5L
This photograph and popular poster was taken by Sports Illustrated photographer Neil Leifer, who is considered one of the world’s best sports photographers. This particular photo has an extra interesting fact about it so I put it at the number one spot. On May 25, 1965, in Lewiston, Maine, Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston faced off for the second time. Ali (then Cassius Clay) won the first fight the previous year. The ending of the second fight remains one of the most controversial in boxing history. Half way through the first round, Liston fell to the canvas, which many believe was not a legitimate knockdown. Ali then refused to go to a neutral corner. Instead, Ali stood over Liston, gesturing and yelling at him, “Get up and fight, sucker!” It was then when Liefer snapped the now iconic photo.
Interesting Fact: Liefer said he was lucky to get the shot because he was in the right place. Sports Illustrated often sent out two photographers to cover boxing matches. For this match they assigned Leifer and Herb Scharfman, who was also one of the best. Leifer said this about Scharfman in an interview; “It didn’t make a difference how good he was, he was obviously in the wrong seat.” Herb Scharfman is the photographer that can be seen between Ali’s legs in the famous photo. From 1963 to 1972, Scharfman’s photos appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated fourteen times. May 25, 1965, just wasn’t his night.

SHAKY EARTHQUAKE FACTS

RECENTLY  most of us experienced an earthquake some were sleeping(10%, who sleeps at 12 ) ,some running(5%) out and others  updating status (85%)....so here are some interesting facts about EARTHQUAKES YOU MIGHT WANNA KNOW



  1. 4 out of 5 of the world's earthquakes take place along the rim of the Pacific Ocean, a zone called the Pacific Ring of Fire.
  2. Sometimes there are many small earthquakes before the big one. These small ones are called foreshocks. After the big earthquake, the mainshock, again there may be many small quakes. These are called aftershocks.
  3. Aftershocks can follow an earthquake on and off for days or weeks.
  4. An earthquake can last for just a few short seconds or go on for several long minutes.
  5. Most Earthquakes last a minute or less.
  6. Many earthquakes happen on the ocean floor. Big ocean waves can form after a quake resulting in a tsunami.

  8. The deadliest known quake in history shook China in 1556, taking about 830,000 lives.
  9. Steel, reinforced concrete and wood are good building materials for an earthquake resistant house because they flex somewhat without breaking. Family homes built completely out of brick are not as safe because they can break apart easily.
  10. An earthquake can trigger a volcano to erupt.
  11. Each year, there are about a million earthquakes around the world. But only about 100 of these cause serious damage.
  12. An earthquake happens somewhere in the world once every thirty seconds.
