A New Swedish Word

Now the Swedish language has its own word for female masturbation. The Swedish Association for Sexuality Education (RFSU) at its congress has decided on the new word "klittra".
"The Venus of Urbino" by Titian (1538)
"Putting words on women's masturbation gives us the opportunity to talk about sexuality in a simple and less clinical manner" writes Frida Zellinger on the organization's blog.

In November 2014 RFSU announced a competition to find the best word for female masturbation. After first choosing the 40 top favorite words or expressions, the Swedish people voted for their favorites and klittra got 30 percent of the votes.

Although I already know that Second Pride's claim to this being the organization's 10th anniversary is challenged by some, I choose to accept it. (Nota bene, in my response to a comment by my dear friend Garth Raleigh, I - after having reviewed what  Second Pride actually says - correct myself as to the organization claiming anything of the sort.)

In my mind Second Pride - and any other LGBT organization on the grid, that can show any connection between their existing organization and the ad hoc committees celebrating Pride in the early days of SecondLife, can make the same claim.

Putin Gives Assholes A Bad Name

The Russian president Vladimir "Little Father" Putin has given an interview to the Italian newspaper Il Corriere della Sera: Vladimir Putin, interview (Full transcript).

The editor Luciano Fontana asked Putin: “Is there an action that you most regret in your life, something that you consider a mistake and wouldn't want to repeat ever again?”

Putin pondered the question for a little while before he responded: “I'll be totally frank with you. I cannot recollect anything of the kind. It appears that the Lord built my life in a way that I have nothing to regret.”

I didn't think I could despise this man more than I already did, but he has now plunged me to previously unchartered depths.
