Constitutional Right To Sexual Enjoyment

HOW do we define what's a "sexual enjoyment" for women? Women by nature are hard-to-understand creatures. And they are after all only humans; each with different tastes and preferences. What's sexually enjoyable to one woman might be totally the opposite to another woman. I think it is quite impossible to try to generalise "sexual enjoyment" for women; or even for men for that matter.

But now the right to sexual enjoyment will be provided for in the constitution too. The person seeking to include "sexual enjoyment" in the constitution defines "the right to sexual enjoyment" (for women) as "women can make free, responsible and informed decisions about their sex lives".

A couple found it so hard to save up. At the end of each month, they'd have spent all their earnings. They had to do something to start saving up. Then they came up with a weird idea; each time they had sex, they'd put RM10 into a piggy bank. At the end of the month, they'd take the money they had accummulated to the bank. They were pleased with themselves for coming up with such a brilliant idea!

That routine worked well over several months. Then at the end of one particular month, the husband started counting the money in the piggy bank. But he was puzzled when he found not only RM10 notes, but also some RM50s and RM100s.

He turned to his wife and asked, "How come there're RM50s and RM100s in this piggy bank?"

The wife replied with a question, "You think everyone is a miser like you?"

I wonder if such a law will ever be available in Malaysia. Apparently only 25% of women in Malaysia almost always achieve orgasm. Although it has been said that "orgasm" isn't everything, surely it still means a lot? There must be a lot of women who're not enjoying their sex lives? Does it mean that if a woman does not enjoy sex with her husband, she has the right to seek sex elsewhere? Is that the right they're gonna be entitled to?

I am curious to know how does one actually break this particular law; and then how will he be punished for that unconstitutional act?

Bad News; Good News?

To my fellow treasure hunters in Sabah—and also some in KL—I'm sad to report that the Sutera Harbour—Angkatan Hebat Treasure Hunt has again been postponed. No new date has been announced so far. It is not likely to happen in July too.

Some friends have approached me to set a replacement hunt for the 29 June 2008. Now I usually set my KK Challenge hunts around July/August (the last one in January was an exception). But I may have to do it earlier due to this latest development.

I have sent out emails just shortly ago to some hunters to gauge their interest for a KK Challenge 4 on 29 June 2008. If I can gather enough teams, then I will embark on creating a nice and juicy mental torture for you all. Bear in mind, the KK Challenge 4 will be an unofficial hunt. Prizes will be small. For the record, there were 20 teams hunting in the KK Challenge 3 last January.

Those of you who're keen to hunt, please email me your info soon. At the same time, please feel free to spread this news to your friends too. I am getting a bit ambitious now—I'm hoping to attract 30 teams; the more the merrier, right? If it happens, get ready for a fun-packed hunt!

Wonder-Full World Of Football

Those of you who know me—I mean really know me—would know how much I loathe the sport of football. The Americans call it soccer. I have tried to learn to like the sport many times in the past, but to no avail.

No matter what or how I do it, I just can't bring myself to like football. At one time, following an advice given by a friend who's a football freak, I actually started betting on international matches. Not really betting like "bet" bet, y'know; merely small sums in an attempt to lure myself into the sport. According to my friend, the games would become much more interesting and exciting if I actually had a "stake" in them. Somehow the bettings didn't have quite the same effect on me.

One ball; 22 players on the field; a man in black, running to and fro, blowing a whistle and a bunch of yellow and red cards in his pocket; thousands upon thousands of people in the stand yelling their hearts out; and many more thousands watching from all over the world. People support the clubs; lose sleep and get sick in the process; gamble and fight against each other—hell, they even end up killing each other because of football. Who invented this game anyway?

A football star tried to be nice. He threw his game-used jersey to a bunch of boys in the audience. A 10-year old boy was convinced that that jersey was meant for him. But as fate would have it, it was his 9-year old best friend who caught that jersey. A tussle ensued. The parents who were there joined in the party. Then a policeman arrived to break up the fight.

Who is the rightful owner of that jersey? Should the 10-year old have it? Should the 9-year old have it? Well, the policeman who broke up the fight thought the 9-year old should have it. Would you agree with that decision? Well, apparently the parents of the 10-year old boy did not agree with the policeman. And so they're bringing the matter to court. Read more here.

What's wrong with these people? It's just a football jersey, for Pete's sake!

Medication by way of half-graded combination? (6)

Not exactly a very good surface reading, but I thought it would be fun to use a cryptic clue for the title of this post.

A friend sent me an interesting article which I can't resist to include in this blog. It has something to do with "quality of life".

My dog, Boomer, is over 10 years old now. The vet said he is approximately an 80-year old man in terms of human age. He is very near to his full lifespan, and doesn't have much more time left. A couple of months ago, he developed some difficulties to walk with his hind legs. The vet said that most large dogs are susceptible to elbow and hip dysplasia. Each time Boomer walks, he'd partially drag his hind legs; and his gait would also be somewhat wobbly. Sadly, there is very little that we can do for poor Boomer.

There are few possible options. Firstly, leave him as he is now and hope that he will somehow gain full use of his hind legs. That is, however, very unlikely. Secondly, give him some vitamins in the hope that that can help to remedy the problem, or at least prevent his condition from worsening. Thirdly, put him down so that he needs not go through that lousy quality of life.

I decided against the third option immediately. I didn't have the heart to put him down. I opted to give him some vitamins, but soon had to abandon that measure as it was obvious after a while that it didn't help at all. So now Boomer continues living with a poor quality of life. But so far his health is not deteriorating any further. I hope he will live a little longer. He has been a good dog.

Humans may have a poor quality of life too. Apparently men who suffer from erectile dysfunction are considered to fall within such category. Luckily for some Chilean men, their mayor started handing out free Viagra to senior citizens on Wednesday. About 1,500 residents are eligible to receive up to 4 pills each month. That's quite a lot of Viagra! I suppose the quality of life for those men must have improved by leaps and bounds, huh? Perhaps I should consider migrating to Chile when I reach the age of 60!

Dungeons & Monsters

At one time in my life I was obsessed with the video game known as Tomb Raider. I was window shopping during one weekend and happened to pass a video game shop when I saw a crowd watching the shopkeeper playing the game on the then newly-arrived Playstation console. Many sequels of the Tomb Raider have since come into the market; and the Playstation console had also seen newer generations in the PS2 and more recently the PS3. But I have long given up on the Tomb Raider series, having finished only up to Tomb Raider 4.

Then some years ago, there was a comedy movie entitled Blast From The Past, starred by Brendan Fraser. The story was about a scientist who was convinced of an impending nuclear war. He built a secret underground chamber where his family would be protected from the radiation of the nuclear bomb. It happened that a plane crashed onto his house just as he had descended into that underground chamber of his. And so the scientist, his wife and a son spent some 30 years in that chamber, not knowing that there was in fact no nuclear war at all!

When I was watching that movie, I actually said to myself, "Who in his right mind would go through all the trouble to build such an underground chamber like that?" It seemed such a silly idea to me.

But in fact it was not a silly idea after all. At least one man actually took all the trouble to build an underground chamber under his house. However, he did not build it for the purpose of protection from the nuclear war. No—he built it for the specific purpose of imprisoning a woman so that he could repeatedly rape and sexually abuse that woman for 24 years, resulting in 7 children. And of all the millions of women in this world, he chose his own daughter to be the victim. The monster has since earned an entry into Wikipedia.

Dungeons and monsters are real enough. There are times when it is difficult to tell the difference between a man and an animal.

Raw Deal

A couple of weeks ago, in a thread entitled "How Long Is Too Long?", I wrote about a research conducted to determine what people believed was the "desirable" amount of time to have sex.

That thread attracted some interesting comments from some of my fans. Amongst others, delurk said that his woman friend, who was there beside him, answered "anything more than 7" when asked "how long is too long?"

I replied that some women lost interest in sex because they always end up disappointed—that the act almost always end far too early before they're even close to reaching orgasm!

Then another fan, Teo, joined in the "discussion" and took advantage of the fact that no unit of measurement was used when quoting the answer "anything more than 7". It turned out that he interpreted "7" as referring to 7 inches rather than 7 minutes. But let's forgive Teo, folks, because treasure hunters are accustomed to thinking out of the box, you see.

Well, I still maintain that some women lost interest because of difficulties in achieving orgasm. But I did not expect that only 25% of Malaysian women "almost always achieving orgasm". In fact, I think there is something seriously wrong with the study conducted by Dr Mohd Ismail Mohd Tambi. Besides, I feel that the 1,026 Malaysians who participated in the study represented an extremely small percentage of the entire population.

What's even more surprising to me is that only 62% of Malaysian men "almost always reach climax during sex". If I were one of those who participated in the survey, I would have distorted the figure by a substantial margin, because I'd reckon my percentage closer to—if not exactly—100%!

Now I can't say for certain if my spouse actually fake orgasm like some women do, but she sure seem like achieving it much more than that miserable 25%! And if that is indeed her percentage, then that should give me more reasons to improve on the frequency! (smile)
