You may have seen a story in the media earlier in the week about the genetic component of the female orgasm. It cropped up all over the place including The Guardian, BBC News and New Scientist. Dr Petra Boynton (left), the sex and relationship psychologist, took issue with a few things about the research:
"Today the world of sexology, particularly those working in the area of sexual dysfunction got a little upset.That's putting it mildly. Actually they were very angry about the latest study supposedly proving women's orgasmic problems are genetic."
In two excellent posts she proceeds to dismantle the research. Great stuff. This is what blogging is all about - a right to reply. And because of it, we're all better informed.
Women, orgasm and genetics & Women! Don't orgasm too easily
The science of creativity
As Pablo Picasso once pointed out, all children are creative; the challenge is to remain creative into adulthood.
Unfortunately public education systems around the world seem designed to crush creativity in favour of rote learning and test passing. As the years pass a fear of being wrong takes over from our natural creative tendencies.
Unlike mathematics, languages or the humanities, we are rarely taught about creativity, despite its importance to our lives. Yet the information is out there, waiting to be used.
If you would like to be more creative at work and at home—and that has to be most of us—the insights in this ebook will be useful.
