Here's a very interesting article on how Japanese women are utilizing dating agencies to connect with highly-educated western husbands. Primary reason: it's a well to do demographic that these days, treats their wives more like equals and romantic companions. Japanese men, according to the article, are comparatively conservative and view women (helped along by the culture) as maids, homemakers, and child rearers. Period. I remember hearing about the first Japanese female office manager in Japan and how that was a big deal. I took a east Asian culture studies class in college. My prof. was a Japanese woman and she said how if you're a woman with a Ph.D. or Dr.

For those new to my blog, I write on my sex life, in erotica form, because many of us need only read of an example of what really is possible or that they'd never thought of. It so often lights a desire inside to "Want to do that. To feel that." To want to learn how to have better sex through sex education, consulting, and coaching, maybe for the first time in their lives.

Olivia and I set the alarm clock for early the night before. Got to her place late, cleaned up, and snuggled down into bed together. Out went the lights.

I was walking Phineas this morning when a beautiful young woman walked up and gushed over my dog's supernatural cuteness. We'd talked before, she'd gushed before, so this was our round three. We'll call her Raven. This time Raven asked me what I do, eyes and hands down at the ubercute dog in my arms.

"Well, I'm a sex life consultant."

Her head jolted up with wide, excited, brown eyes behind her stylish sunglasses. Raven and I had a conversation with words to the effect of:

"Wow, really? Awesome. My friend is going to become a sex therapist."

I said, "Yes, that's psychology's sex wing. I don't do psych."

"What do you cover then?"

While sitting at the sushi bar last night with Betty, I checked my blackberry to find the latest newsletter from truthout.org and read the following items on the list of new stories. If this isn't a full out assault on women's rights I don't know what is WTF!

women disappearing from the workforce; evidence from rapes often sits untested; Bush rushes to secure abstinence-only funding.  

As if genital excision, domestic violence, and the Bush Administration's prohibition against condom distribution through US-funded UN programs weren't enough, women are now the hardest hit victims of the food crisis.

Soaring prices for food and fuel have pushed more than 130 million poor people across vast swaths of Africa, Asia and Latin America deeper into poverty in the past year, according to the U.N. World Food Program (WFP). But while millions of men and children are also hungrier, women are often the hungriest and skinniest. Aid workers say malnutrition among women is emerging as a hidden consequence of the food crisis.
