I thought you were talking about novice cyclists!

Lol, no I'm usually quite patient.

Charming!

Huguenot, clearly not everyone is as accomodating or non-judgemental as you are! This is not really about my sexual appetite though, (which is on the wane with age as it happens!), it's about my right to have one. There is no judgement made by me or anyone else I can see, of anyone who lacks a sexual appetite or is happy with perfunctory sex. I think Slutwalk, or at least the contributions on here to the debate, have been about not condemning women who do enjoy sex and who want to be treated as an equal participant.

I think that would depend on what you consider normal. I was trying to differentiate between the sadistic psyhcopath and the men who grow up with very negative views on sexual women so I used the word normal to really include all non-psychos so I think the range of 'normal' would be quite wide. Obviously what is normal within your peer group would probably not really cover the full range of non-psychopathic men who just need re-education.

I'm confused. I need someone to tell me who I should be hating as I own a dog, cycle, drive and have kids! Help!

Bringing the topic back to the motivation for Slutwalk, I would like to add that women who have high sex drives, and are in relationships motivated by lust are looked down on in most societies in the world. In some countries this results in female genital mutilation and clitoridectomy, which is performed on young girls to try to kill any dangerous sexual feelings that would make her an outcast. We in the 'civilised' West practice a form of mental clitoridectomy on women, while at the same time using sex (male as well as female) to sell everything from music, to films, to cars to newspapers, to lifestyles. It seems to me that what the problem in the west is, is not men looking to women as sex objects, but the problem seems to lie with the attitude towards women who want to take control of their own sex lives, paid or unpaid. Some of the men I have had sex with in my life found my strength and knowledge of what I want sexually, slightly intimidating at first, but after being educated about my sexual needs and how to satisfy them, they would find sex with anyone who didn't actually want to have sex a bit of a turn off. Maybe we need to be less puritanical about sex and actually explore women's sexuality in full. Real sex education, on the difference between, sex with a multi-orgasmic, willing woman and one who hates what is being done to her, should make most normal men unable to abuse an unwilling partner.

James, strength training is also important for health reasons. Resistance training helps to increase bone density as well as muscle mass which is an important weapon against osteoporosis. Also as we get older our muscles atrophy which can lead to mobility, joint and other problems. Strength training can be used to slow down and even reverse this process. Also someone with a good amount of muscle mass also burns far more fat than someone who has lower muscle mass, even when resting, so strength training helps in the fight against obesity.

Lol, who says so?? Don't believe them!

You're welcome!

I'm a co-op member and I love it when they pay the membership money straight into my bank. I've had loyalty cards for other places in the past and got fed up with the useless paper vouchers they sent me, so didn't bother with them for very long. I think the co-op membership one is pretty good, because I use their bank account and get money back for that too.

(tu) Sorry to burst your bubble, but the days of cheap oil are well and truly over, so the 'olden days' won't be coming back any time soon whether compulsory cycling proficiency tests and vehicle excise duty are introduced for bikes or not. By the way, there is no such thing as road tax. Roads are paid for by everyone from general taxation. Vehicle excise duty is paid according to the size of your vehicle and level of CO2 pollution you produce. As bikes emit no CO2 or other pollution I imagine any vehicle excise duty payable will be zero, just as it is for low/zero polluting cars.

Tarot, how can you tell from people's posts who is intellectual and who is just intelligent or able to write reasonably good English? Also how can you then determine, who out of those you consider to be intellectual have a good or bad sex life? And what has that got to do with pornography and/or rapists and serial killers in any case?

Well said Damien H. Nothing at all I could disagree with there.

I can't wait until petrol costs a tenner a litre, then there will be loads of space on the roads for all us cyclists!

Lol, not sure what the answer is.

I've never felt worried about someone coming round to my house when I sell or give stuff to people and I've never had any problems. It has never occurred to me to be worried. Maybe because I've got quite a scary looking dog! I did martial arts for years when I was young too, so maybe that helps. I would think that someone was dodgy though if they wanted to meet in a pub or coffee shop to sell something.

Je n'regret rein!

I like that one better than the other one, thanks PR.

Not wanting to repeat the arguments all over again, I would like to refer you to some of the points made on this point here already if you are interested: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,684648,page=1

Looks like the debate has ended now anyway!
