Despite the many challenges faced by people in a same-sex relationship, a study made by two students of the University of Queensland concluded that this kind of relationship is happier compared to the normal relationship we know as male to female bond.

Researchers Francisco Perales and Janeen Baxter said that the conclusion of their study is a strong counter-narrative to the usual thinking that same-sex relationships are conflictual, unhappy, and dysfunctional.

The conclusion of the study, which was published in the academic journal Family Relations, was derived after the researchers surveyed 25,000 people in the United Kingdom and 9,000 others in Australia.

    This will probably come as a massive unexpected double-free fault to you, but most women don't rank intercourse or other penetrative sex anywhere near the top. Expound all you want on form following function or, heaven help us, "telos," but it won't change that fact. After a few inches in there aren't too many nerve endings in the vagina, and most of the ones that *are* there are in places it's pretty hard to hit in most PIV positions.

    Really? That's contrary to all the talk about g-spot orgasms being stronger and more satisfying; those require penetration to achieve. Or maybe you meant to say penises aren't required to get them. That part seems more plausible. But if penetration by objects is nowhere near the top for women then there is an uncanny abundance of sex toys that do just that. Also it needs to be said that when it comes to penetration by actual penises there is more variety of shapes, sizes, and techniques for those than sex toy marketers ever dreamed of.

    Fingers are a lot better for G-spot orgasms--assuming you can have them, because not everyone can--than toys. No one's really sure about the anatomy there either; some people say they don't have a G-spot for example. I'm one of the lucky ones, I guess :)
