Selibaatti on yhteyksissä masennukseen:
In a study of 82 people who identified themselves as involuntarily celibate, Donnelly and co-author Elisabeth Burgess concluded that unwanted abstinence often results from events that occur over a person's life. Most study participants felt their celibacy stems from a lack of sexual experiences at key transition points in adolescence, young adulthood or even in their adult lives.

The majority of respondents reported feeling as if opportunities had passed them by and their sexual development somehow had stalled in an earlier stage of life. Participants reported suffering from depression, and many celibates were dissatisfied, frustrated or angry about not having sexual relationships.

Since the data-gathering took place online, the majority of respondents had characteristics typical of people who have access to computers - young, male, white, well-educated individuals who hold professional jobs.
Miksi mukavilla jätkillä ei käy flaksi?
Ever wondered why women go for "assholes"? In reality, most of these assholes aren't assholes, they're simply untouchable. They do things on their own terms. They can't be negotiated with. They act with authority and get the respect that goes along with it. They can't be tested and they maintain independence from social constraints.

Independence in men can be thought of as "Seducing Women Without Even Trying". To an outside observer, you're not trying to pick up the women in question. Instead, you carry on as if women aren't that important to you. While seemingly arrogant, it somehow strikes a psychological chord with many women. Women find their energy and self-confidence strongly attractive. When women find these traits in a nice guy (which is rare), they usually marry him. When they find it in a bad boy, they usually just sleep with him.

Ansaitsevatko itsensävahingoittajat osakseen sympatiaa?
The 60-a-day chain smoker cannot expect much sympathy if he develops lung cancer, nor can the gin-soaked alcoholic if he contracts liver cirrhosis. After all, their problems are entirely self-inflicted. Yet we are now expected to lavish our concern - and our money - on another group of patients who deliberately injure themselves by cutting, poisoning, mutilating or burning.

Before we all join this chorus of anguish, we should recognise that this kind of behaviour is destructive, self-indulgent and aggressive, bringing misery to all involved. Far from suffering silently, those who wound themselves are parading their grievances in the most melodramatic, physical manner, often seeking to punish friends and family. So much of self-harm is ruthlessly manipulative.
Usan laajin polygaaminen yhteisö Arizonassa ei ole herkkua pojille:
More than 400 males ages 13 and older who have been banished from the communities. "I was excommunicated by the prophet Warren Jeffs at the age of 16 because I decided I wanted to go to public school." The worst sin, though - the one for which most are banned - is simply becoming a mature young man in a society where older married men are seeking younger brides.
