Like a man having issues with diarrhoea, I need to be more regular. Things seem to keep getting in the way of getting a new entry out on the weekly basis that I planned for initially.
Life.
Who needs it?!
All excuses aside, as we did not get the somewhat traditional end of the month look at the news in sexuality and relationships for both August and September, tonight we are having a TOP TEN COUNTDOWN incorporating both of these surprisingly warm weather filled months.
Some fun, some news; it’s all in this little article.
Let’s begin.
10)
We have Black History Month, we have Ramadan, we even have ‘I’m a celebrity get me out of here’. While these long running celebrations are all important in their own way, there is one that tops the lot.
Anal August.
That’s right; August is the month where we are encouraged to embrace all things to do with bum sex. If you have not heard this great fact then I do implore you to put it in your 2015 calendars, to remind you to give something new a go. As my colleagues say on the matter, back it up!! http://www.makesexeasy.com/august-anal-sex-month/

Here we have an entry from September on a more sombre note and unfortunately not the only one we will see of tonight. Here is a report on old Capital FM DJ Dr Fox being arrested to be questioned on possible sexual assaults. While nothing concrete has been found, it is always so saddening when anyone who is ever seen in a good light like he was enthralled in something as terrible as this. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-29431833
8)
Jumping back to August now and on the same vein as above, this time it’s jolly old self proclaimed asexual Cliff Richard being investigated on an alleged sex offense in 1985. His had his house raided and search, but at this time no arrested have been made. As with Dr Fox, I truly hope that this is a simple misunderstanding and no one was hurt. Fingers crossed. I promise number seven will be more upbeat. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28790718

Dropping to September now we have to chat about something that many, many people over hear would not have heard of and that is a show that was put on by the Sydney Evolver Spore. This exhibition was looking at ‘the feminine’ and was celebrating it. While this obviously did not grab many world wide eyes, I wanted to include it as any time people celebrate sex, sexuality and relationships in a healthy, respectful and fun manor, I’m all for it and will champion it to the last day. http://www.evolvernetwork.org/2014/09/01/evolver-sydney-shaking-off-and-celebrating-feminine-shadow-in-sexuality-august-21-2014/
6)
We have Valentines Day, we have Stake and Blowjob day, we even have Christmas. While these long running celebrations are all important in their own way, there is one that tops the lot (Actually not Christmas. Nothing tops that).
Bisexuality day.
On 23/09/2014 we celebrate those who identify as bisexual in all of their gender hopping glory. As with Anal August, I hope that you put this into you 2015 diary and again look to try something or someone new. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrate_Bisexuality_Day
5)
Sticking with September again, we have a report of a Stanford Scholar doing some exciting and fascinating research on ‘the closet’ that many gay people find themselves in at some point in their lives and the blurring of sex boundaries across Europe and America. In a nutshell he has found that we have become more accepting as a society of people who don’t fit within the unrealistic and possibly damaging boxes that we try to force them into, but also was under no illusions that we still have ways to go. I’m going to keep a close eye on this gentleman and will be posting many more things in the coming times. http://news.stanford.edu/news/2014/september/robinson-gay-history-091814.html

We have a few in August to get through now, so lets talk about a man with that name and the predicament that his dick has placed him in. A young lady that this signer slept with has decided to sue him, as his penis was too big for her to take. She went on to claim that it caused her legs to start shaking and that ‘it burst her cervix’, which I looked up and found that this would be rather fatal if left untreated. I will put it to you Reader, does a man with a very above average penis have a responsibility to treat his member like a loaded weapon, or is this girl talking out the other hole? http://ksfm.cbslocal.com/2014/07/09/woman-suing-august-alsina-for-injuring-her-during-sex-see-how/
3)
Hitting the top three is the Lib Dem campaign to have sexual education begin around the age of 7. Here at The Open Clinik we believe that this is a vital piece of the curriculum that is severely lacking and it has been covered in the first article, which you can read here: https://theopenclinik.wordpress.com/2014/05/11/dad-where-do-babies-come-from-go-ask-your-mother/comment-page-1/#comment-5
I know recently that there has been some stirring recently about ‘sex at 13 being normal’ and the whole ‘scandal’ around that, but this will be covered in the next top ten. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28934047
2)
Now we get to the most disturbing entry into this top ten. The Rotherham sex scandal has rocked the educational system and the social care system alike. There was so much that went wrong with so many different organisations and governing bodies that it both boggles the mind and breaks the heart. Over 1,400 children raped over a 15-year period and no one seemed to do anything to stop it. At some point this will warrant its own full article, but will have to be after the dust has fully settled and the rage has dissipated from my heart to allow for an objective look, rather than an ager filled rant. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-28939089
1)
While number 2 in itself would warrant top stop, I don’t like to end on a sad note and like Russell Howard’s Good News would remind us, it’s not all doom and gloom. To Emma Watson goes the spoils. Her speech looking at fighting the obvious global disparity between men and women was one of heart felt words and inspirational messages. The term feminism is seen in a negative light in our society and the stereotype angry man hater seems to play in our mind’s eye. Yet, she was able to not only make the term less about this, but allowed for people to be able to proudly call themselves such. I, Bil Murrill, am a feminist. If you believe in the simple truth that men and women are equal, then you too have the honour of calling yourself a feminist. Take it, embrace it, let’s take the term and wear it close to our hearts as proudly as we wear our poppies upon the same place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkjW9PZBRfk
Oh yeah and some naked pictures got leaked or something. Boring.
Next time we will have a look at some terrible hook up stories from uni. If you have one that you wish to contribute under complete anonymity then drop a message and we will look to include.
Until then, ask yourself; what does your sexuality mean to you?
We’d love to know what you think.
