News Straight Men Have Been Waiting For!

Breasts have always been something that straight men (amongst others) are pretty enthusiastic about.  This has led to some controversy as to whether or not it is appropriate to express said enthusiasm by ogling.  Last year, a study was published that supposedly answered that question: staring at boobs is a good and healthy thing - in fact, it lengthens life expectancy!

Happy (day after) World AIDS Day!

I got totally whacked with schoolwork this week, so my World AIDS Day post is, as my father would say, a day late and a dollar short.  I had planned to do a recap of all the crazy (in a good way) and wonderful things that happened in the world of AIDS this year (no cure or anything, but exciting nonetheless), but I have treatment plans that need to get done and I got all screwed up with Thanksgiving and EXCUSE EXCUSE EXCUSE, but hey - you got some awesome links there, and here is a super cute AIDS awareness penguin for your enjoyment.

I'm naming him F.U. AIDS Penguin.

F.U. AIDS Penguin (who I had no part in the creation of - buy t-shirts here!) is dedicated not only to the millions of people affected with HIV in the world and those who work tirelessly to fight it, but also to T-Zous, my favorite penguin-loving Jew since 1991, who gave birth to an absolutely beautiful 7 pound baby girl early on World AIDS Day Eve (a.k.a. Nov. 30).  A big fat Mazel Tov to you, my girliefry - let's go eat sushi!

Not. OK.

I usually try and keep things light here on Chakabox, even when talking about serious topics.  The world can get really depressing sometimes, and just spewing a bunch of morbid and scary statistics about scary and morbid things doesn't make for particularly engaging reading.  This though...it's morbid, and it's scary, but I can't just leave it be, and can't really make it amusing, because there is nothing funny about it.

like, disgustingly not OK

Gobble Gobble, Baby

It's Turrrrrrrkey day, peeps!  In my family, that means we get together and sample the various ways we've all managed to cram butter into food.  That's how the Pennsylvania Dutch throw down, yo.  I once told my sister that I'd run out of butter, and she actually disowned me for about 6 hours.  It's that serious.  But let's leave butter and sex to Brando and Bertolucci (kinda NSFW), and instead, let's talk about turkeys and sex!

This came up under an image search for "sexy turkey".
I don't understand, but I'm gonna roll with it because HELLO.

Answerbox: What a Headache

Dear Answerbox:

A week or so ago, I was having sex with my wife (she was on top), and as I came, I got an insanely bad headache in the back of my skull.  It was so bad, I ended up in the emergency room getting a CAT scan.  The doctor said nothing was seriously wrong and sent me home with some headache pills.  WTF?  Is this going to happen for the rest of my life?

subarachnoid hemorrhage is decidedly not sexy

Crosstalkin'

A friend (and soon-to-be neighbor!) of mine is involved with a film currently in production called The Young Invincibles, "a film about sex, jobs and family in your 20's and 30's.  A film about life...with cancer."  When she told me about what she was working on, I mentioned a post I'd written last year about sexuality and cancer, because not only did I think it might be useful to her, I like it when people read my blog.

Get ready, festival circuit

Workin' On It!
