Web sex languages of Brits revealed!!!

ONS (one night stand) and BPO (Beautiful People Only) are among the key phrases that Brits are using to bag nights of nookie. Horny Brits are using a series of coded messages to arrange hot dates. And industry leaders believe that it is now a fully-fledged web sex language. Sex-starved housewives have advertised themselves as MBA (Married But Available) and W2SI (Willing To Slum It) in a cheap hotel. “There is undoubtedly a massive community – both in the UK and globally – of people from all corners of society that want to meet like-minded individuals for fun with no strings attached,” the Daily Star quoted Andy Hammonds, founder of MyFbuddy.co.uk, a new site for adults seeking sex without commitment, as saying. “What we’re seeing is the fact that this community is evolving fast and is choosing to communicate in an extremely direct way." “They’re arguably taking the anonymity that the web offers and making best use of the technology to get what they want,” Hammonds added. Among other key phrases are ONO (One Night Only) and W2T (Willing To Travel).

Kate and Prince William to get married?

Speculation is rife that Prince William and his ladylove Kate Middleton may soon tie the knot this year after her parents have been invited to meet Prince Charles and his wife Camilla.
Britain`s king-in-waiting and the Duchess have asked Middleton`s mother Carole and father Michael to visit them at the Royal Family`s Scottish estate Birkhall, according to the `Daily Star`.An unnamed friend of the Middleton family was quoted by the British newspaper as saying: "The Prince wanted to get to know Kate`s parents better, and it seemed to be the ideal time for everyone."In fact, only two days back, William and Middleton had joined Charles and Camilla for a final break together before the second-in-line to the British throne begins his training as an Royal Air Force rescue helicopter pilot.As Kate turns 27 on Friday, William will throw a party at Tam-na-Ghar, his own secluded three-bedroom shooting lodge on the estate. The Prince has told his friends he is planning to spring a surprise to make her day, the newspaper said.Later this month, William begins an 18-month training programme as an RAF search and rescue pilot."Their opportunities to get together will be pretty limited once he starts. William is going to find himself in some of the most remote RAF bases in the country," a Royal aide was quoted as saying.Middleton`s mum gave a rare insight into the pressure of life around the Royals when she said: "I don`t want to be a celebrity. I haven`t asked for all this."

Teens discuss sex, drugs

In two related studies, researchers have found that 54 percent of adolescents frequently use social networking Web sites (SNSs) like MySpace as a platform to discuss high-risk activities including sexual behaviour, substance abuse or violence.
The studies, `Adolescent Display of Health Risk Behaviors on MySpace`, and `Reducing At-Risk Adolescents` Display of Risk Behavior on a Social Networking Web Site`, were led by research fellow Megan A. Moreno, MD, MPH, MSEd, and Dimitri Christakis, MD, MPH, of the Center for Child Health, Behavior and Development at Seattle Children`s Research Institute, and the University of Washington.As SNSs like Facebook.com and MySpace.com are getting increasingly popular, parents and those who work with teens fear that these sites might expose teens to ill-intentioned online predators, cyberbullies and increased peer pressure. They are also concerned that university enrolment and future hiring decisions also suffer by the content posted online by adolescents in their personal profiles.In the first study, the researchers collected information directly from 500 randomly chosen MySpace profiles of self-reported 18-year-old males and females from the United States. They examined the extent to which high-risk behaviours were reported in the profiles, as well as any correlations that suggested that certain behaviours may be influenced by other items, interests or activities. It was found that 54 percent of the MySpace profiles contained high-risk behaviour information, with 41 percent referencing substance abuse, 24 percent referencing sexual behavior and 14 percent referencing violence. Also, the study revealed that females were less likely to display violent information than males, and teens who reported a sexual orientation other than "straight" showed increased displays of references to sexual behaviours. Profiles that demonstrated church or religious involvement were associated with decreased displays of risky behaviours, and same went for profiles that indicated engagement in sports or hobbies."Online displays of risky behaviours may actually just be displays. Some teens may be grandstanding, or may be indicating intention or considered behaviour. If that`s the case, then there`s a silver lining because this presents opportunities for education and prevention before risky behaviour takes place. When online displays of dangerous behaviour discuss actual behaviours, the good news is that teens may be amenable to participating in online interventions. Our related study looked at this, and we were happy to see that even a brief email intervention may be feasible and showed promise for influencing online behavior," said Moreno.Focussing on 190 self-described 18 to 20-year olds with public MySpace profiles that met study criteria for being at-risk, the profiles received a single intervention email from "Dr. Meg," the physician online profile of Moreno, who became a MySpace member.The scientists observed that at the beginning of this study, 54 percent of subjects referenced sex and 85 percent referenced substance use. After the email intervention, 13 percent of the profiles decreased references to sex behaviours, and 26 percent decreased their substance use references. Ten percent of the profiles changed their security listings from "public" to "private," and a total of 42 percent of the profiles implemented any of these three protective measures. Of those who received the email intervention females were most likely to eliminate sexual references.Based on the results from both studies, the researchers concluded that SNS are readily available tools to identify displayed health information and also to communicate with teens about these displays, and they are another way parents and physicians can learn about how adolescents make health-related choices. The researchers further added that adolescence is a period of identity exploration, which now includes online identity, and adolescents may be open to communicating with health professionals about their online displays. The studies are published in the January issue of Archives of Paediatric & Adolescent Medicine.

`thinking man`s sex symbols`

Indian origin author Jhumpa Lahiri, with her "hypnotic eyes", has been named among the top 10 "sex symobls of the thinking man" for 2008, which put Serbian tennis player Ana Ivanovic in the number one slot.
The list, prepared by the popular website The Daily Beast run by former New Yorker journalist Tina Brown, places US-based Lahiri at No 8."Jhumpa Lahiri is the gorgeous author of three seriously literary books including, this year, a collection of short stories called `Unaccustomed Earth`. Those hypnotic eyes are devastating," wrote Touré, a TV journalist, columnist and author.Clarifying the concept, he notes: "Before we dive into the Top Ten Thinking Man`s Sex Symbols for 2008, let`s make sure we`re all on the same page. TMSS is a term that`s thrown around a lot. So let`s quantify."A man has two minds. The lower mind is brainless ... The upper mind, which works with actual grey matter, is more persnickety. The upper mind, when employed, is moved by intelligence, success, power, self-confidence, a smart sense of humour, and, of course, not having a castrating nature.""And that`s the challenge. Can a woman be independent, creative, sharp, witty, strong, and self-empowering without making me feel like she wants to be a man?"According to the columnist, a TMSS is someone "we imagine having great conversations with, laughing with, revelling in her success with, and getting drunk on her power with. Where Maxim girls are purposefully brainless, we look at a TMSS and say she`s hot because she`s smart and beautiful".The list for the past year is topped by 21-year-old tennis player Ivanovic with British novelist Zadie Smith in "honourable mention"."If Zadie Smith had published a book in 2008 she`d be #1 (not only is the chick beautiful and brilliant and literary and into hiphop, but she`s also got this really sexy deep voice, not Kathleen Turner deep, but a really nice, full, low tone that always kills me). But she didn`t, so she`s the obligatory honourable mention.""...And when tennis produces a woman so gorgeous that it`s unbelievably hard to take your eyes off her, she`s an insuperable TMSS. And unlike that pathetic cream puff Anna Kournikova, my #1`s not a frequently double-faulting, habitual first-round loser. No, my #1 won the French Open this year and reached the finals of the Australian Open weeks before winning in Paris.""Ana Ivanovic from Serbia is currently the fifth-best woman in the world. She`s got a mean forehand, is studying finance online as she travels the world, winning tournaments, and is blowing men away with a butterscotch-coloured face that`s all smooth slopes and haunting eyes. Ivanovic is the most beautiful female professional athlete of all time."

Hollywood star George Hamilton has revealed that he slept with his stepmother when he was just 12.
While in an TV interview, the actor, best known for his mahogany tan, spoke casually about the affair, insisting: "It was very normal."

The star released his memoir Don't Mind If I Do on October 14 which includes the revelation that he slept with the wife of his father, bandleader George "Spike" Hamilton.
"It actually went on for a short period of time when I was 12 and then strangely enough when I was of age, and I was an actor in Hollywood, I met her again and she was as beautiful as ever and we had a sort of follow-up," Hamilton said.
The star of The Godfather Part III and Zorro, The Gay Blade said that his stepmother was about 28 or 30 at the time of the first sexual encounter.
"My father never knew about it, and it was a very strange thing. But it was very normal, in a strange — she didn't make me feel bad about it," Hamilton said on the program.
"It wasn't dirty,” he added. Hamilton said that his stepmother called it "cuddling" and he didn''t feel abnormal about it.
"I was molested?" he said. "Damn, I'm down for it again,” he added.

Office Gossip

Did You Hear?

Three Surefire Steps to Minimize Gossip at the Office

It starts out innocently enough with someone in the break room saying, “Isn’t it a shame about Jack?” Clueless, you reply, “What about Jack?” “Don’t you know about his wife?” When you answer in the negative, your colleague seizes the moment to fill you in on all the gory details of Jack’s wife’s ongoing affair with none other than your boss’s husband, and poor Jack is now in rehab because he started binge-drinking to drown his misery. Of course, since your boss’s husband is the party of the second part, you just have to know if she knows about her husband’s infidelity, which would account for her showing up to work lately looking like a subject in a sleep-deprivation study and biting everyone’s head off for no good reason. And before you’ve finished pouring your coffee, you’ve enabled a gossip to perpetuate the vicious cycle of rumor mongering that too often contaminates a workplace.

The consequences of participating in office gossip are far ranging and always affect at least two or more people. First, consider the person who is the gossip spreader. Why is this person presenting the information? Can any good come from it? Will the information benefit you or the office in which you work? What’s in it for the gossip?

If the answers to these questions are fuzzy, you can probably assume the news bearer is reveling in knowing something others don’t yet know. Such “news,” whether accurate or not, provides a momentary feeling of superiority and control that the gossip probably lacks otherwise. If this person’s work performance isn’t sufficient cause for recognition, then the next best option is to stake a claim as the one with the latest inside dirt.

Unfortunately, a gossip isn’t satisfied just possessing the information. After all, knowledge that isn’t shared is wasted, right? How would others know the value of this soul unless the intelligence is disseminated? This is where others get implicated without necessarily being willing participants. Even the “innocent” are drawn in to the gossip’s web by merely listening. For a few fleeting moments, this person has everyone’s undivided attention, and this is “reward” enough.

While gossips themselves might not immediately suffer for their loose tongues, eventually they will be found out. The consequences may include poor performance reviews, no pay raises, reprimands from supervisors, or possibly dismissal because of their involvement in destroying office morale or committing slander.

Gossips are usually proactive in sharing their wealth of information, so others have little trouble knowing who they are. Smart coworkers will learn to avoid them any way they can, even though this is not always easy or possible. Even if you yourself don’t initiate gossip, just listening to it takes a toll and carries consequences. Guilt by association immediately comes to mind. If several people are present when a gossip leaks a juicy tidbit, you may be credited as the source at some later point just because you were present. People’s memories aren’t always accurate.

Of course, the one who suffers most is the subject under discussion. Even if the rumor proves to be just that, the damage has been done. Those who have heard the gossip will be unable to completely erase it from their minds. The consequences for this person might be devastating.

Since no one benefits from gossip, here are three easy steps you can take to avoid this career-killing behavior:

1. Don’t do it yourself–ever. No, you aren’t talking about people for their own good. You’re gossiping. If you really want to help someone, talk to the person directly.

2. When someone tries to gossip with you, you can:

> Walk away.

> Change the subject.

> Directly state, “I’m not comfortable talking about __________.”

> Directly state, “I don’t like talking about other people because I don’t like them talking about me.” That’s a conversation ender for sure.

> Reply, “I hadn’t heard that about __________. Let’s go ask him/her.” (Watch a gossip disappear when you say that. Gossips are notorious cowards and dread confronting their subjects.)

3. When someone is gossiping about you, you can:

> Go with the direct approach. Say something such as, “I heard that you’ve been saying the following about me.” Then briefly summarize what you have heard. Next, say, “While I wasn’t there to hear you, I would appreciate your coming to me directly with any questions or comments rather than talking with our coworkers/friends/family/etc.”

> Go with the indirect approach. Say something such as, “I don’t know if you’ve heard the rumors going around about me or not, but they’re really disturbing. If you hear of anyone talking about me, I would appreciate it if you would ask them to stop.”

Just remember, if you don’t gossip, you don’t have to worry about someone betraying your confidence and telling other people what you said.

Remember, too, to distance yourself from gossips since you are known by the company you keep.
