The Top 10 Relationship Words That Aren't Translatable Into English | Marriage 3.0 Here are my top ten words, compiled from online collections, to describe love, desire and relationships that have no real English translation, but that capture subtle realities that even we English speakers have felt once or twice. As I came across these words I’d have the occasional epiphany: “Oh yeah! That’s what I was feeling...” Mamihlapinatapei (Yagan, an indigenous language of Tierra del Fuego): The wordless yet meaningful look shared by two people who desire to initiate something, but are both reluctant to start. Oh yes, this is an exquisite word, compressing a thrilling and scary relationship moment. It’s that delicious, cusp-y moment of imminent seduction. Yuanfen (Chinese): A relationship by fate or destiny. From what I glean, in common usage yuanfen means the "binding force" that links two people together in any relationship. But interestingly, “fate” isn’t the same thing as “destiny.” Retrouvailles (French): The happiness of meeting again after a long time.
7 Sex Tips from Cosmo That Will Put You in the Hospital You've walked innocently past issues of Cosmopolitan magazine a thousand times, every time you've checked out at a grocery store. If you glanced at the covers then you know it's all about sex, and helping girls bring out the sexual animal in their man. Not that kind. But littered amongst their mildly kinky and often impractical advice ("wear a wet t-shirt to bed!") Think we're kidding? Bite the Family Jewels From: Cosmo's website. Here's something mankind has known about intercourse since the very, very first sexual act was performed: If in describing the act, the words "bite" and "scrotum" appear in the same sentence, something went catastrophically wrong. To put this in context, when kangaroos fight each other, they use the claws on their hind legs to tear at their opponent's scrotum. And by the way, when dealing with teeth and that area of the body, the modifier "softly" doesn't do anything to make this better. Cosmopolitan Vol. 237, Issue 1, page 106. Bullshit. Cosmo's website.

Mind Reading: What We Can Learn From the Dutch About Teen Sex (Updated) Teen birth rates are eight times higher in the U.S. than in Holland. Abortion rates are twice as high. The American AIDS rate is three times greater than that of the Dutch. What are they doing right that we’re not? For starters, two-thirds of Dutch parents report allowing their teenage children to have sleepovers with their boyfriend or girlfriend, a situation even the most liberal American parents would rarely permit. Healthland spoke with Amy Schalet, author of Not Under My Roof: Parents, Teens and the Culture of Sex, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. What got you interested in the studying the differences between American and Dutch approaches to teen sexuality? I was born in the U.S., but grew up in the Netherlands. The other piece I’d noticed with my American friends is that there wasn’t a lot of conversation between parents and teens about sexuality, and there was a lot of discomfort around the issue. I agree. Yes.

It’s Time We Retire The Statement “A Real Woman.” Isn’t It? Do you see the image above? Is it really portraying an unbiased message? Not really. In many cases the new trend is to focus on the fact that we have become culturally obsessed with skinny and slim, to the point that we say that curvy women are real women while skinny women are not. Last time I checked, the word “real” referred to something actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact; it’s not something that is imagined or supposed. In all seriousness, a real woman, and even a real man, is whoever we are. Imagine for an instant that we suddenly went the other direction completely and now “real” means being curvy. The image above is from Dove’s “Real Beauty” campaign. Health Considered All of these concerns aside, I will admit that I don’t want the idea of removing what a “real woman” is to mean that all health concerns go out the window. Real Beauty One more step further, if we want to truly go back to “real beauty” this means going beyond the idea of needing makeup as well. So!

New Research Claims That Going Down On Women Is Good For Your Health | Daily Digest Research carried out by the State University of New York recently suggested that B.J’s can have a whole host of health benefits. The news had men everywhere celebrating. But it seems that women also have cause for joy now as some parallel research conducted suggests that going down on a woman has plenty of its own advantages, for both men and women. The research monitored more than 150 straight and lesbian couples, 75 of which were told to concentrate heavily on oral in their carnal lives, 75 of which were told to not to. The health benefits can be very real, though. The research also points to the sedative effect of the release of oxytocin and other endorphins, meaning it’s the perfect way to encourage sleep for those that suffer from insomnia or restless nights. All these health benefits are there for the person performing the act too, so it’s good for both of you! Of course, there are other benefits as well. So there you have it.
