The relationship between 'partner betweenness' and erectile dysfunction

By Rob Winters - Published on Thursday, 11 August 2011 07:50

"Sexual problems can develop, including erectile dysfunction, when a female partner comes between a man and his male friends.

Researchers describe the situation as “partner betweenness.”

“Men who experience partner betweenness in their joint relationships are more likely to have trouble getting or maintaining an erection and are also more likely to experience difficulty achieving orgasm during sex,” write sociologists Benjamin Cornwell at Cornell University and Edward Laumann at the University of Chicago.

Cornwell and Laumann argue that partner betweenness undermines men’s feelings of autonomy and privacy, which are central to traditional concepts of masculinity. This can lead to overt conflict or problems with partner satisfaction and attraction."

"Blue-skinned people? Vampire Syndrome? When we were kids, we couldn't hear enough about illnesses, horrid medical conditions or weird diseases. Not much has changed since then.

A study published in Tuesday’s Canadian Journal of Cardiology found that newcomers who spend 15 years or more in Canada are more likely to develop heart disease as well as developing diabetes, obesity and hypertension."

"Are markets bonkers?"

"Are lenders to government, creditors of banks and investors in shares behaving in the kind of way that would guarantee them the kind of losses that presumably they would wish to avoid?

Are they completely bonkers, in other words?

I ask this question, because there is something of a paradox about investors' and creditors' current obsession with whether huge economies - the US, Italy, Spain and latterly France - will be able to repay all their debts."

"How to Retire Like George Soros – Even If You’re Not a Billionaire"

By Rob Winters - Published on Wednesday, 10 August 2011 21:09

"Last week, George Soros’ firm announced it would stop managing money for outside investors, formally ending the legendary financier’s high-profile, 40-year career. With a personal net worth of $15 billion, his future will include a few more mansions and private jets than the typical retiree. But even though we can’t emulate Soros’ retirement lifestyle, there’s a lot we can learn from his retirement process. Instead of viewing retirement like a 20^th century industrial laborer, can we think of it like a 21^st century billionaire?"
