Is society on a moral decline? Is feminism to blame?
I have always had faith in mankind. I love men and I love women too. I have written before about whether men are in crisis – I do believe that feminism has had some very negative impacts on our culture, and men have suffered alongside women with the changes. Feminism in the 60s and 70s […]

Why I love getting naked
Do you want to know why I love getting naked? I have always enjoyed taking off my clothes. This is a post about nudism, not exhibitionism, although I can say that I am an enthusiast of both at times. It’s fine – this post has an M-rating and I am not trying to frighten you […]
Children in 2013: Stressed, Anxious and No Time to Play

How Would You Fare in a Zombie Apocalypse? Check This List to Find Out

Is President Obama Sexist or am I Being Over Reactive?
A very interesting gaffe was made by President Obama this year, and I say gaffe, but it was obviously a pre-written (and practised) speech that had probably had several writers – and somebody should have picked up his offensive language.

My big boobs: Why they’re not as great as you think
My big boobs might look great, but there are things about them that mean they can be difficult to deal with. I just went and spent a whole bunch of money on something I really needed: new knickers and bras. I have double D boobs – that’s code for “big”. My body is a medium […]
