Sexually Dangerous

   

My afternoon with a man.

Today I have worked in CS4 all afternoon familiarising myself with the new software which was kindly bought for me by my fabulous mother who took pity on me because my old CS3 couldn’t be installed on my beastly IMAC which was running Snow Leopard.

For some reason I find that CS4 is easier to use and this afternoon I played around with the tools and actions palette generally to see what I could make it do!

This image comes from a picture that I found on the internet which I transformed using the filter gallery and various tools like curves and then adding image layers,I tend to work quite organically letting the program and my imagination work in harmony!.

Is Masturbation the Silent Killer?

 

 

 

I am ever so slightly confused after reading illseeds blog titled STUDY: MASTURBATION CAUSES CANCER because I have never heard about the study or the connection before. Illseeds blog post states that 

“Researchers at the University of Nottingham have determined that men who masturbate often in their 20s and 30s are far more prone to developing prostate cancer and the scientists surveyed 800 men and about half of them had suffered from prostate cancer”

Illseed also states in his post that

“although actual sexual intercourse is a factor the act of self-love ( masturbation) is generally credited with higher sexual activity!!??”.

 

I generally thought that masturbation was good for you ,reliveing stress which I would have presummed causes cancer, but not knowing the true facts and having little to go on with illseeds post I tracked down some more articles about the study and found this interesting paragraph on CTV.ca 

“Hormones appear to play a key role in prostate cancer and it is very common to treat men with therapy to reduce the hormones thought to stimulate the cancer cells. A man’s sex drive is also regulated by his hormone levels, so this study examined the theory that having a high sex drive affects the risk of prostate cancer.” 

“Hormones appear to play a key role in prostate cancer and it is very common to treat men with therapy to reduce the hormones thought to stimulate the cancer cells,” lead study author Dr. Polyxeni Dimitropoulou, of the University of Nottingham, said in a statement. “A man’s sex drive is also regulated by his hormone levels, so this study examined the theory that having a high sex drive affects the risk of prostate cancer.”

So there you go, having a high hormone levels which produces a high sex drive may have a link to prostate cancer!?, so are we also to conclude then that men who go bald prematurely ( a result of high hormone levels ) are also at risk or is it only those that masturbate?.

Another study done in Australia totally contradicts the Nottingham study and claims that masturbation actually prevents prostrate cancer!!!

Well we live in a world where statistics seem to matter and I think we should just live our lives the way we want to because you can’t live your life in fear , life’s way too short for that!!… now where’s that LUBE!!?

Love Sex Passion and the lust for life.

Here are my latest images which explore the relationship between love, sex, passion and the lust and life.

My personal favourite’s are “I Love You” and ” I Love You Also” (hearts around nipples images) simply because the image’s turned into something which I hadn’t intended on. ( personal touching and warm) which is something I rarely portray in my work because I have issues with intimacy and I have trouble talking about and exploring!.
