Surprise (emotion)

Surprise: is a brief emotional state experienced as the result of an unexpected significant event. Surprise can have any valence; that is, it can be neutral, pleasant, or unpleasant. If a person experiences a very powerful or long lasting surprise it may be considered shock.

Surprise is expressed in the face by the following features:

Eyebrows that are raised so they become curved and high.

Stretched skin below the eyebrows.

Horizontal wrinkles across the forehead.

Open eyelids: the upper lid is raised and the lower lid is drawn down, often exposing the white sclera above and below the iris.

Dropped jaw so that the lips and teeth are parted, with no tension around the mouth.

Spontaneous, involuntary surprise is often expressed for only a fraction of a second. It may be followed immediately by the emotion of fear, joy or confusion. The intensity of the surprise is associated with how much the jaw drops, but the mouth may not open at all in some cases. The raising of the eyebrows, at least momentarily, is the most distinctive and predictable sign of surprise.

position's

A sex position is a position which people may adopt during or for the purpose of sexual intercourse or other sexual activities. Sexual acts are generally described by the positions the participants adopt in order to perform those acts. Though sexual intercourse generally involves the sexual penetration of the body of one person by another, or the stimulation of the sex organ of one by another, a sex position may not necessarily involve penetration or direct stimulation. Three categories of intercourse are commonly practiced: vaginal intercourse, involving vaginal penetration by the penis; oral intercourse, involving oral caress of the penis or vagina with a partner's mouth; and anal intercourse, involving insertion of the male's penis into a partner's anus Sex acts may involve the use of fingers or hands or mutual masturbation such as grasping the mans penis or testicles and rubbing them around. There are numerous sex positions which the participants may adopt in any of these types of sexual intercourse or acts, creating an almost limitless number of sex positions. This list is based on Alfred Kinsey six primary positions as categories.

Respect

Respect denotes both a positive feeling of esteem for a person or other entity (such as a nation or a religion), and also specific actions and conduct representative of that esteem. Respect can be a specific feeling of regard for the actual qualities of the one respected (e.g., "I have great respect for her judgment"). It can also be conduct in accord with a specific ethic of respect. Rude conduct is usually considered to indicate a lack of respect, disrespect, whereas actions that honor somebody or something indicate respect.

Specific ethics of respect are of fundamental importance to various cultures. Respect for tradition and legitimate authority is identified by Jonathan Haidt as one of five fundamental moral values shared to a greater or lesser degree by different societies and individuals.

Respect should not be confused with tolerance, since tolerance doesn't necessarily imply any positive feeling, and is not incompatible with contempt, which is the opposite of respect.

Love addiction

Love addiction is a human behavior in which people become addicted to the feeling of love. Love addicts can take on many different behaviors. Love addiction strikes quite commonly in the modern world; however, most love addicts do not realize they are addicted to love at all. Love addiction can be treated with many different recovery techniques and ways, most of which are similar to recovery from other addictions such as sex addiction, and alcoholism, through group meetings and support groups.

Process
The normal process of falling into love addiction begins when a person begins to feel sympathy with another person after going through an initially innocent moment of attraction and automatically idealizes the other to the point of divinity. The individual is then blindly attached to the other person, where they are incapable of making a realistic analysis of the situation and projects in the other all kinds of illusions, believing the other to be the only one that can bring happiness. This process can be very quick, known by some as Cupid's arrow. Be that as it may, this can at times be simply a passing feeling that for some is necessary to achieve a more mature relationship. There are, however, those who never go past this stage of blind love.

Obsession over anything can be considered the primary symptom of an addiction. In love addiction, the individual will feel needed and so insecure about themselves, that they become attached to the object of their affection. It is typically not normal desire of a union, but a hungry, insatiable power, that distorts the person's perception of reality. Because of this, love addiction is simply suffering brought about by an obsession over another.

Eye candy

Eye candy A common slang term for visually appealing persons or effects used to draw mass attention is eye candy. The implication is that they are eye-catching in a superficial fashion, for example due to adding an element of sexuality. Like actual "candy", this addition is seen to be neither nutritious nor substantial, but rather provides a potentially addictive appeal which will sustain the attention of a wider audience, possibly despite their better nature.

The term may have been originated by interactive videodisc, user interface designers working at INTERAC Corp. in 1983. Their work marked some of the first instances of multiplane visual computing, integrating text, audio, graphics, photographic images, and video into a seamless presentation. The "eye candy" referred to visually appealing images supporting the overall message.

The term is also used to refer to actors or actresses perceived to have been cast primarily for the visual enjoyment of the audience, e.g. for their sex appeal. Various novels, articles, and stories have used this slang term to show a physical attraction one person has toward another.

Physical attractiveness

Physical attractiveness is the perception of the physical traits of an individual human person as aesthetically pleasing or beautiful, and can include various implications such as sexual attractiveness and physique. What is considered physically attractive is dependent on three factors: universal perceptions common to all human cultures, cultural and social aspects and individual subjective preferences. Despite universally held perceptions of beauty in both sexes, males tend to place significantly higher value on physical appearance in a partner than women do. This can be explained by evolutionary psychology as a consequence of ancestral humans who selected partners based on secondary sexual characteristics, as well as general indicators of fitness (for example, symmetrical features) enjoying greater reproductive success as a result of higher fertility in those partners , although a male's ability to provide resources for offspring was likely signalled less by physical features. This is because the most prominent indicator of fertility in women is youth, while the traits in a man that enhance reproductive success are proxies for his ability to accrue resources and protect. There appear to be universal standards regarding attractiveness both within and across cultures and ethnic groups.

Physical attractiveness can have a significant effect on how people are judged. In terms of employment or social opportunities, friendship, sexual behavior, and marriage. In many cases, humans attribute positive characteristics, such as intelligence and honesty, to attractive people without consciously realizing it. In certain instances, physical attractiveness is distinct from sexual attraction; humans may regard the young as attractive for various reasons, for example, but without sexual attraction.

"Saving Tips! for female couples..."

Shower together to save water

Save water by teaming up during shower time, that is the message from the World Wildlife Fund and AXE, who are encouraging Canadians couples to drop trou and lather up together in celebration of Earth Day today.

Now, that does sound like a tremendously fun idea, no?

Certainly you can't beat two naked bodies scrubbing up in a confined space under stream of hot water. Yes! You can get clean, green and dirty all at the same time.

But lying at the heart of this steamy buddy system is the goal of conserving water, which is also exceptionally good news for the earth.

"Water conservation is a serious issue, and one that needs more attention here in Canada," says Tony Maas, director of the Freshwater Program at WWF-Canada.

"Shower-pooling (is a) creative way to reach and educate young Canadians about how much water we each use on a daily basis and to consider ways to reduce their water footprint."

According to research by WWF and AXE, just 35% of Canucks have tried showering together, with the green-minded activity being the most popular among those living in Atlantic Canada, where they average 2. 5 shared showers a week.

Over at my house, hooking up for a joint shower holds great promise.

See, in the apartment shared with my boyfriend, we typically get about 10 minutes of warm water before the taps start running cold. Buddying up seems like the perfect solution for ensuring neither one of us get stuck with a blast of bone-chilling water.

So, early one morning before work, I request my boyfriend's presence in the shower, a move that's almost entirely regrettable the instant he steps in.

There are indeed some logistics to consider before sharing your shower space with another person.

For example, only one person can be under the shower head at one time, which leaves the other one naked and shivering off to the side while waiting their turn.

I try navigating the small space to give my legs a quick shave, but a gal needs a little leg room to get this kind of job done.

After cutting myself twice, the razor gets tossed to the side. Riddled with goose bumps, I irritably wait to rinse off.

Now it certainly doesn't help that I haven't had my morning coffee yet, so when he comments about the hot-water tap being cranked too high (blatantly suggesting I am to blame for the frequent shortage), I start fantasizing about grabbing the can of shaving cream and blasting him with a solid stream of the white, frothy goop.

Thankfully, I don't do this because suddenly, I feel something hard pressing up against me.

Alright ... Things are looking up!

Oh, wait ... never mind, it's just his boney elbow.

Wet and wild? Well, not exactly.

Some ideas - like pigging out out at the greasy Chinese food buffet, acting out certain sexual fantasies and draining your savings account for a pair of ridiculously overpriced designer pumps - simply work better in theory than practice.

Indeed, when you're grumpy, hungry, caffeine-free and pinched for time, it can easily turn in to a perfunctory act, much like washing the dishes or brushing your teeth.

But even though teaming up for such close-quarter intimacy won't always be teeming with delicious eroticism, at least it helps to conserve water ... and really, it is all about helping the the environment, right? I thought so.

Who's the cleanest of them all? Men ages 19-21 shower most often, averaging seven showers a week

Quebec residents are the least likely to warm up to the idea of shower pooling, with just 26% in favour of the water-saving concept

The average 19-24 year-old showers for 11 minutes daily, using up to 220 litres of water each time. At a rate of seven showers a week, this amounts to 1,540 litres of water per person

So, you're happily shower pooling, but what else can you do to conserve water?

While not as sexy as getting soapy with your beloved, consider these smart steps for reducing your household water use:

- Choose a low-flow shower head to reduce water use

- By investing in a low-flow toilet you'll not only save water, but money too

- Consider switching to a high-efficiency washing machine to reduce use

- When brushing teeth, shaving or washing your face, don't leave water running

'Playboy' issue features 3-D centerfold

'Playboy' issue features 3-D centerfold


CHICAGO (AP) -- Playboy "readers" who can only imagine what it would look like if a centerfold jumped right off the page are getting new specs to help them see into Hef's world.

The magazine's June edition hits newsstands Friday equipped with 3-D glasses. Now the toy that has kids dodging dragons, meatballs and tall blue aliens at the movies will help adults focus on what is, at first glance, a very blurry Playmate of the Year.

"What would people most like to see in 3-D?" asked Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. "Probably a naked lady."

Hefner makes no secret of hoping to capitalize on the popularity of 3-D movies such as "Avatar" and "How to Train Your Dragon," even as he makes no secret of not quite getting what all the fuss is about.

"I'm not a huge enthusiast of 3-D," he said in a telephone interview. "I leave real life to go to the movies and 2-D is fine with me."

If the thought of grown men sitting back in their recliners with a pair of 3-D glasses doesn't quite say "Playboy," it should be noted that a few months ago the magazine put Marge Simpson -- yes, the blue-haired animated mother of Bart -- on the cover and in a two-page centerfold.


"In today's print environment you have to create newsstand events," said the editorial director of the Chicago-based magazine, Jimmy Jellinek. "Marge Simpson was one of those."

Playboy certainly must do something to get more people, especially younger people, to buy a magazine that has seen circulation plummet from 3.5 million in 2006 to 1.5 million today.

Jellinek said he hopes the issue featuring centerfold Hope Dworaczyk in 3-D also reminds people that for all the infatuation with the Internet, there is nothing quite like having a magazine in your hands.

"People want things that last and have meaning," he said.

The thought hadn't occurred to Hefner. But, now that you mention it:

"This particular picture is one example of how books and magazines are different (than computer images)," he said. "You can hold it in your hands, save them, and as Dad used to, put them under the mattress."

Hefner notes there also are plenty of good old-fashioned 2-D pictures of Dworaczyk -- the 51st Playmate of the Year, for those counting at home.

3-D may be all the rage, but Hefner said he first thought of using it when he launched his magazine in the 1950s.

"I actually signed a photographer to shoot two nude women in 3-D in Chicago," he said. But he scrapped the idea when he discovered how expensive it would be to include the glasses.

This time around, HBO is helping out. HBO wanted a creative way to promote its show "True Blood," and having Playboy include 3-D glasses with the show's name on them seemed a good way to do it, said Playboy spokeswoman Theresa Hennessey.

So, do the glasses work? Well, it does kind of look like Dworaczyk is handing you the wine glass she's holding. And she says the photograph makes everything a little, well, bigger.

"It's kind of like it says on the rearview mirror," Dworaczyk joked. "Things may appear larger."
