FOCUS ON SEX

Well, it doesn't take statistics to show what I've been saying all these years that divorces are on the rise in Singapore. Everywhere you turn to - family, friends, colleagues, etc - there is bound to be a divorce somewhere.

In the government's usual knee-jerk reaction to problems, they offer baby bonuses and vigourously go on ill-thought of marriage seminars and forums without seeing the importance of addressing the rising divorce rates. Their concern, which is a valid one to some extent, is the low birth rate here. It's about more babies and more marriages equates to more babies.

I know some organizations do have counselling services for marriages in trouble but it's clearly not something that goes up in neon lights. Other than the occasional whispers in the newspapers about the rising divorce rates, almost nothing else is heard or discussed.

While 'irreconcilable differences' and 'unreasonable behaviour' are often cited, according to the many I have met and spoken to over the years, the main problems stems from a lack of communication and intimacy from the get-go. Isolating the cases of abuse, money and sex issues (e.g. affairs and lack of sex) are often up there.

I've attended numerous marriage talks and forums, and have met many couples who were on the verge of taking that big step. It is heartening to listen to their hopes and aspirations towards marriage but almost all of them have truly no idea what such a union really entails.

These talks often focus on what couples can and should do to prevent friction. No doubt an important aspect to bring up but I just feel that not enough is touched on dealing with problems when they crop up, and they most certainly will at some point.

Sex talk? Almost non-existent, as if sex is not an important part of marriage, especially in the early stages. While the physical act may not seem as important, what many don't realise is the emotional bonds and closeness that sex and intimacy does create.

I've actually been to a marriage forum when one woman asked a sex-related question and the speaker kept dodging it, as if sex was and should not even be an issue to focus on. I was appalled. Eveyone seemed to be focusing on how to bond as a married couple without the element of sex in the equation! If we go on like this and continue to employ idiots who are tongue-tied to talk sex, we are doomed.

ATTENZIONE!

A civilized society is not one which is sterile. It is not one that hides the natural ongoings of its people. Neither does it claim to be a moral haven. What it does do is place warning signs like this one. Of course many would probably see this as a advertistment.

The sign was sent in bt Masserati65 from 'Somewhere in Europe'.

Ah Kok Durian: Before the reign of the Mao Shan Wang

I don't remember eating Mao Shan Wang when I was growing up in the 70's.  Back in those days, I only really remember people speaking of Segamat Durians.  Nowadays, Durians come in all sorts of D numbers and fancy names.  Branded Durians like Mao Shan Wang, D24 and Ang Hei have great commercial value and are grown in many plantations in Malaysia and you can find them almost anywhere in Singapore

AVERAGE WEEKLY FREQUENCY (POLL 47)

This was a poll I held in April and it touched on the subject of sex frequency. I know the voters come from all over but I am assuming that the majority of you are from these parts. I was really hoping that figures would be higher than what it was three years ago when I held a similar poll but sadly they weren't.

If we seriously want to address our fast declining population, sex is not the only thing to consider. However, frequency of sex is - you have to agree - one factor that will better the odds. I hope the Government is satisfied with their efforts over the decades to dehumanise and sterilise the subject of sex because it has apparently worked.

By creating a society that views anything of a sexual nature as taboo or illegal or immoral, what else would one naturally expect. Society has also been unhumanly engineered to see sex or for that matter, and expression of public affection or intimacy as something awkward and unsightly. If nobody will say it, I will. Fuck More to save SingaPORE! See it even rhymes!

So here are the results to my poll asking what your average sex frequency is like in a week.

Hardly once a week: 86 (34%) 
Once: 54 (21.2%)
Twice: 38 (15%)
Three Times: 34 (13.4%)
Four: 14 (5.5%)
Five: 12 (4.7%)
Six:8 (3.1%)
Seven Times: 0 (0%)
More than seven times: 8 (3.1%)

Total No. of Respondents: 254

WEIRD ARRIVALS

I've not had any weird arrivals in a long time so when this one popped out on the keywords some readers use to get to Missus Singapore, I figured I ought to share them with you. Ready for it?

'Jerking in Singapore on second floor."

I kid you not! This, according to blogger stats, were the keywords that brought - get this - not one, or two but three people here!

There is the possibility that it was the same person but seriously.

Jerking in Singapore? Well as far as I know, it is not merely a conservatively Asian thing but a global habit on most men of a certain age group, I dare say. But that wasn't the kicker! 'On the second floor' - that was it.

I mean does one really need to know what to do on the second floor? Is jerking off really that different from say the first or third floors? Is there something I a missing? What was that person really thinking and how on earth does a search engine decide that these words tag on to my site? Someone please enlighten me?
