Since its inception, eBay has developed some pretty stringent rules as to what items they will permit to be placed up for auction. They’ve taken some heat for banning the sale of firearms, and they don’t permit users to sell used underwear, either. But sometimes interesting sales slip through the cracks.

Recently, a scorned Australian woman sold an empty condom packet (size small, of course) and a photo of lacy underwear (size humongous) after finding them in her cheating husband’s bed. Ebay pulled the original auction, which included “the tart’s” actual black lace “knickers.”

By some accounts, bidding for the panties and condom wrapper had reached six figures. The photograph wound up selling for $303, proving that a picture may be worth a thousand words, but it’s definitely not as valuable as old underwear.

But that doesn’t beat Natalie Dylan, who is auctioning off her virginity to pay for her Master’s Degree. Her offer didn’t make it past eBay’s Terms of Service personnel, although I distinctly recall hearing of similar auctions on eBay in the past.

Dylan’s idea is not unprecedented. In 2004, lesbian Rosie Reid sold her virginity through her own Web site after eBay nixed her auction. Reid received more than $20,000, which she put toward her college education.

With the rising costs of tuition, let’s hope Dylan fares somewhat better than earning enough for just one-year at a private school. She should; she has the publicity behind her. Famed shock jock Howard Stern and Dennis Hof of the world-famous BunnyRanch brothel in Las Vegas have gotten behind the 22-year-old virgin (no, not like that!) to promote her endeavor.

Stern announced the auction on his radio show on Tuesday, September 9, and bidding is taking place through Hof’s site, BunnyRanch.com. Dylan (not her real name) says she won’t just sleep with the highest bidder, but will take bids until she finds someone she’s happy with. The deal will be sealed at the BunnyRanch, where Dylan’s sister already works.

Scam? Or capitalism at its best (and worst)? Stay tuned, as we’ll be following this story to its erotic end.

As for me? I’m off to check out college savings plans for any future daughters I may have!

I was just reading a study recently, titled “Sex on the Brain”. The BBC Science, in collaboration with researchers from the United Kingdom and North America, designed their research project on psychological sex difference in conjunction with their TV documentary, Secrets of the Sexes. In just three months over 250,000 people from all over the world responded to a full survey.

The key topics were as follows:

• Mental abilities decline with age more in men than in women. To be honest all mental abilities decline with age. However, the decline is much steeper in men than in women.
• The effects are independent of sexual orientation.
• Across all participants, the traits ranked most important in a relationship partner are intelligence, humor, honesty, kindness, good looks, face attractiveness, values, communication skills and dependability.

Now listen to this based on the study. Men rank good looks and facial attractiveness more important than women do, and they wonder why women say they are the superior sex. =)

Furthermore, women rank honesty, humor, and dependability more than men do.

Even more interesting those that consider themselves bi-sexual have a tendency to state that they are ambidextrous. Makes you wonder! *Kidding*

• Across nations, men score higher than women on tests of mental rotation and the ability to judge line angles, whereas women score higher than men on tests of object location memory and word fluency.
• On average, gay men’s visual-spatial abilities differ from those of heterosexual men – shifted in the direction of women’s abilities. Similarily, lesbian women’s visual-spatial abilities differ from those of heterosexual women – shifted in the direction of men’s abilities. For some reason I am not sure why that is such a shock, it seems kind of redundant to state such a thing.
• The link between sex drive and attractions to men and women. For women, high sex drive is associated with increased sexual attraction to both women and men. For men, however, high sex drive is associated with increased attraction to one sex or the other, but not both, depending on their sexual orientation.

How do you feel about this ? Do you think it’s right. I would love to hear your views, feel free to add your own comments to this blog.

Thanks for reading!

P.S. Hope you likes the images, I thought it was funny!

It seems that many of my friends these days are single females that play the dating game.

Let me rephrase that, I mean get played by the dating game.

This girl was confiding in me that she really likes this guy and was thinking about maybe going to another base with him. I felt like that base, just put me into a time warp. I had thoughts of my younger years going to Rocky Horror at The Mini Cinema.

WOW!!

I hadn’t heard the expression of getting to second base since I was in High School. See back then I was getting high and listening to Meatloaf. Paradise by the Dashboard Light a baseball sexclassic! I really thought that the expression of getting to first or second base started then. I also thought that’s when it became popular

I thought it became unpopular then too.

So I did a little bit of research on this matter. As it turns out Baseball and Sex really do have common synergies. As far as I can tell this metaphor goes back to the 50’s. Now that’s a few years before my high school days. It seems that even in the Woody Allen movie “Play It Again Sam” Diane Keaton asks Woody Allen what he was thinking when made love to her… His response “Willie Mays” .

Baseball!!!

Well looks like Baseball and Sex will always go together as proven again by one of the most classic scenes in movie that I can ever remember. It was described in American Pie in that getting to 3rd base felt like the center of a Hot Apple Pie. If you haven’t seen American Pie run, don’t walk and go rent it! That scene is hilarious and should not be missed by anybody walking this planet.

All told sex and baseball will be together forever.

So you see guys, baseball isn’t just a sport but it is a stepping stone to matters that we care about as much as the game itself. You see if we play this game right we’ll find ourselves making a grand slam play with an encore sexabition.
