Creativity fuels sex life
A new British study discovered that an active sex life and creativity may go hand-in-hand. The research revealed that professional artists and poets have about twice as many sexual partners as other people.
According to the researchers, while writers and artists from Byron to Picasso have perpetuated the notion of the amorous artist, the new study may be the first to offer up some real proof.
“Creative people are often considered to be very attractive and get lots of attention as a result. They tend to be charismatic and produce art and poetry that grab people’s interest,” said the study author Dr Daniel Nettle, a lecturer in psychology at Newcastle University’s School of Biology.
The study of 425 British citizens included a sampling of visual artists and poets. The participants were asked about how much poetry and visual art they created, their psychiatric history, and their sexual encounters since age 18.
More sexual partners for creatives In comparison to an average of 3 for non-creative people, the average number of sexual partners for poets and creative artists was between 4 and 10. The investigators reported in the November 29 issue of The Proceedings of the Royal Society that the more creative a person was, the higher the number of sexual adventures.
Nettle speculated that sexual exploration may be encouraged by the artistic personality.
“It could also be that very creative types lead a bohemian lifestyle and tend to act on more sexual impulses and opportunities, often purely for experience’s sake, than the average person would,” he said. “Moreover, it’s common to find that this sexual behaviour is tolerated in creative people. Partners, even long-term ones, are less likely to expect loyalty and fidelity from them.”

Mini Motorcycle Choppers: Fun For All The Family
These mini motorcycle choppers have really become all the rage for children and adult’s alike. They are that one-step above a toy so to speak that teenagers and adults have come to enjoy for their own. You can buy these mini motorcycle choppers in the form of the most popular Harley Davidson style or in fact just about any other style that you may wish for.
Many people opt to have their minichopper custom made to their own specs and plans. It just depends on what you are looking for in a mini bike. If you are a mechanic or are handy in that field you can even build your own. There are plenty of plans and blue prints for sale especially on the Internet.
Depending on what country and or state you live in there will be differing rules and regulations for riding these great little bikes. Some places demand that you must be licensed to ride on the road while others say because the motors are of a smaller size you may ride them on the road without a license.
As much fun as these are they do need the rider to be responsible as some of these bikes can go very fast. In fact some can go up to 60 miles an hour using 4 stroke engines. Children should always be advised on riding them safely and preferably not on the road, as they are not very visual for other vehicles to always see them. But on the other hand the majority of these mini motorcycle choppers are ridden by adults and teenagers.
They really are a lot of fun and they look fantastic. You can pick them up for a reasonable price especially online. They are sold fully assembled or you can assemble them yourself. Don’t forget the option of buying a used one either.

Makita 9227CX3 7-Inch Electronic Sander-Polisher with Polishing Kit
Makita 9227CX3 7-Inch Electronic Sander-Polisher with Polishing Kit Whether you are a car collector, weekend enthusiast or a professional detailer, Matita’s 9227C circular polishers will give you the control needed to restore and keep your high-gloss finish. It will help you protect your investment by reducing the time it takes to apply cleaners, polishes, and protective products, and it will produce results far superior to applying these products by hand.
This polisher is powerful enough to polish out scratches, swirls, and oxidation in the clear coat to restore the finish of your vehicle. Unlike a dual-action polisher which automatically walks across the surface, this circular polisher allows you to control the movement and focus on tough imperfections.
It has an adjustable, variable speed dial to set rpm from 600 to 3000 for super slow buffing to aggressive polishing. The lock-on button allows you to use the Makita continuously at one speed. The electronic speed control maintains constant speed under load.
The tool is ergonomically designed with multiple handle positions for better pressure control and less fatigue. Providing comfortable, relaxed grip options allows you to keep the polisher gliding in an easy, slow controlled sweep over the surface.
It comes with a storage bag, compound and polishing pads to get you started. It is also convertible to a sander for paint removal or for your wood projects with additional Makita accessories. — Sue Gregori

Customer Review: Just what the doctor ordered
I bought this buffer to buff out and polish a natural penetrating oil finish that I applied to a white oak floor I installed in my son’s bedroom.
