RIAA Sues Usenet.com

Posted by kdawson on from the not-the-same-as-suing-usenet dept.

Several readers pointed us to Torrentfreak's coverage of the RIAA's latest move: the major record labels have launched a copyright infringement lawsuit against Usenet.com. The complaint, filed in the federal District Court in New York, accuses Usenet.com of providing access to millions of copyright-infringing files and slams it for touting its service as a "haven for those seeking pirated content." Usenet.com has been refusing the labels' requests to block access to alleged "copyright infringing groups."

      "A man can learn a lot about being a better lover through masturbation -- even if he has a regular partner," says Peter Sandor Gardos, Ph.D., a San Francisco clinical sexologist. "One of men's biggest concerns during sex is that they'll come too soon. Regular masturbation is the perfect way to learn to recognize the signs that you're getting close to orgasm." Here's how to get the most out of Solo Orgasm 101.

      Slow down

      "The fear of being found out motivates boys to learn to masturbate to orgasm as quickly as possible," says Patricia Love, Ed.D., a marriage and family therapist in Houston and author of Hot Monogamy. The trouble is, these quickies condition your sexual responses in such a way that you end up climaxing much faster than you'd like to with a partner. An occasional lightning orgasm is okay, but try to set aside some time when you can relax and masturbate for 20 minutes or so.

      Lighten up

      Another danger of high-speed wanking is that a jackhammer stroke creates sensations that can't be reproduced when you're not the only one in the room. "Some men get so used to the hard, fast strokes that they have trouble climaxing with a partner," says Barbara Keesling, Ph.D., a sex therapist and author of Super Sexual Orgasm. To master a new stroke, try switching hands, which will make you very conscious of every move you make and defeat any "automatic" movements.

      Off topic, perhaps, but this does not take the place of a good old GNAA rant. Nothing shocking or politically incorrect. As a matter of fact, nothing but good advice.

      If I may be so bold as to expand on the slowing down theme:

      1. Do not watch porn. Use your imagination.

      2. Wrap your magic wand in the finest piece of silk or nylon lingerie you can find. It makes a nice stand-in for a flesh and blood woman and acts like a lubricant to prolong the session. By all means let go into it. Highly recommended.

      3. Try to sustain an hour of continuous stimulation without slipping over the edge. Requires massive will power, but well worth the effort.

      Now, where have all those shock posts gone?

      "A man can learn a lot about being a better lover through masturbation -- even if he has a regular partner," says Peter Sandor Gardos, Ph.D., a San Francisco clinical sexologist. You can also learn a great deal about what really gets your partner going by manually stimulating them. Set aside an evening to spend just playing with each other, learning what works and what doesn't and how to spot the signs of either (which can be difficult when you're just going for it), it's fun and can be very rewarding. ;)

      As for the topic, I never understood why the RIAA took so long to realise that usenet was there. I guess this is the start of it...

      If you really want a massive orgasm, bring yourself almost to ejaculation. Stop. Wait an hour. Repeat. Do this for as long as you can manage. Then go for it!

    Step one: Pick up a 500 gig external drive
    Step two: Dump my 450 gig music collection to it in the background
    Step three: Give the gift of music to friend or family member

    Great for holidays and birthdays - or even the latest RIAA sues non-computer owning 95 years old deaf cripple story pops up and I'm feeling motivated.

    Nothing but love RIAA!
