LEAD STORY: HIGHER EDUCATION
LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS
A veteran University of Colorado administrator is on forced leave after her sideline made news in December. Resa Cooper-Morning, 54, “cultural diversity coordinator” in the ethnic studies department at CU Denver, also ran a phonesex business for which she took calls ($1.49 a minute, “phone sex that will rock every part of your body,” according to her website) during hours she worked for the university. Said her daughter-in-law: “I’ve been in her office, and she’s said, ‘Oh, let me be right back, I have a phone call.’ She takes them very discreetly, shuts her door.” A KCNC-TV investigation found that the phone-sex hours listed on the website had recently been cut back, from “7:30 a.m. until late at night” to “weekdays after 3 p.m.”
-- Two men broke into a home in the Lincoln Heights section of Los Angeles in December, unaware that the resident had moments earlier called 911 after glimpsing them on his surveillance camera. When police arrived outside, the perps asked the resident to tie all three of them up so that all would appear to be “victims” of the invaders, who had supposedly fled. The resident complied, but when police entered the home, the resident of course immediately squealed on the tied-up perps, ensuring their arrest. Two associates, who were outside standing lookout, were also arrested. Said one officer, “That’s what you call felony stupid.”
GOVERNMENT IN ACTION -- Florida’s second-most populous county, Broward, announced in December it was removing the agricultural tax break for 127 properties because it appeared their “farming” work was a sham. Broward’s property appraiser estimated the county had lost “hundreds of millions of dollars” over the years granting the bogus reductions -- as landowners were blatantly housing just a few cows (in some cases, merely renting them) to graze and calling that “agricultural.” The appraiser’s office, after auditing only a few of the exemptions, found, for example, that land occupied by a government-contract prison was “agricultural” (with a rent-a-cow arrangement). -- The Ontario College of Trades ministry, finally implementing a long-ago reclassification of about 300,000 professionals, announced in November that barbers would immediately face fines if they had not acquired new licenses demonstrating proficiency with perms and highlighting and other aspects of women’s hairstyling. Even barbers who had cut men’s hair for decades and with no desire to accept female customers would probably need a costly study program for the upgrade, which one barber estimated at 2,000 hours and $5,000 or more. Said one exasperated old-timer, “We’re barbers, not neurosurgeons.”
GREAT ART! - South Africa, still transitioning to freedom after apartheid, has been slow to embrace the “performance art” that is a staple of American and European popular culture, but artist Anthea Moys is creating her own space, according to a December Wall Street Journal dispatch from Johannesburg. Recently she played an exhibition soccer game -- alone against an 11-player lineup. Her “team” quickly fell behind, but sympathetic spectators wandered onto the pitch to help her, and she managed to lose by only 12-0. Before that, she had entered a 60-mile bicycle race in Johannesburg and, dressed properly in helmet and Spandex, she mounted a stationary bike at the starting line and began pedaling furiously as the other cyclists took off. “I’m not very competitive,” she said. “I’m interested in the joy of games and how people view them.”
PERSPECTIVE
--Medics and excessively confident law enforcement officers are facing federal lawsuits after, first, David Eckert, in New Mexico, and then a 54-year-old woman in El Paso, Texas, were repeatedly anally examined in ultimately fruitless searches for ingested drugs. Search of Eckert began when a traffic officer thought he was “clenching” his buttocks during a stop; search of the woman began at the Mexico border when she was selected randomly for “additional screening” and a police dog gestured toward her. Both victims endured hours of detention and bodily invasions, as officers and medics, continually finding nothing, used different tests to justify their initial suspicion. (Eckert received three enemas and a colonoscopy.) Not a single trace of drugs was found on either victim, and both have sued for the trauma and because both medical centers, in Silver City, N.M., and El Paso, billed the victims personally for the forced procedures.
DISABILITY OR DISGUISE --Police in Denver said the same man (still on the loose), in his 50s and about 5-foot-8, robbed three banks in the area in December and faces up to 60 years in prison if caught. Either he employs a finely detailed disguise, or he is robbing banks under a significant disability, for in each job he wears a “medical mask” and lugs around a portable oxygen supply.
POLICE REPORT ---- From the Homer (Alaska) Tribune: On Nov. 11, police were called at 2 a.m. by Robert Tech, 47 (better known as “Turkey Joe”), who said he was assaulted by Charles Young, 61 (“known in town” as “Yukon Charlie”). Joe was talking too much, Charlie told officers, and he had to keep hitting Joe because he would not shut up. Joe, whom officers found inside the bus he has been living in, said he declined to fight back because “I’ve been a leader of men all my life.” Charlie was arrested. -- Low-Tech Thief: Kevin Cook, 25, told police that he was mugged in New York City’s Central Park on Dec. 28, but that the thief had grabbed only his cellphone. Since it was a flip phone, the thief took a bemused look at it, asked, “What the (expletive) is this,” threw it back to Cook and walked away empty-handed. Cook, perhaps a bit defensive, pointed out that it was a new-style flip phone.

The Todd Wolfe Band

With special guest John Ginty
at Godfrey Daniels
we’re in Easton at Rivals and I think there’s enough room on that stage for his massive organ.” Yes, space was at a premium at Godfrey Daniels but everyone was in the groove and hearing some of the newer Wolfe songs for the first time was exciting for me especially with the added element of a Hammond organ to provide a some extra nuances and textures to the music. I’ve watched Todd Wolfe and his music evolve over the past fourteen years and I’d have to say that he’s in a very good place right now with solid songwriting and a solid group of musicians backing him up. The band has just returned from touring the Midwest and will play a few local dates for the remainder of January and then they head down to Florida for much of February. I asked Wolfe how he felt about returning to play at Godfrey Daniels and he said, “Well what I like about it is after the show, I get to go next door to the Funhouse and rock out with the kids. I’ve done that before. At Godfrey’s, it’s great because it’s an intimate crowd. They’re right up front and you get to play your music.” Sadly, Wolfe is planning to relocate out of the Lehigh Valley back to his native Queens, New York. “I’ve done my fifteen years – my time is up. My kids are gone. They’re in California so I’m doing Queens. It’s sort of like the move before the big move…which will be California.” I strongly encourage you to check out The Todd Wolfe Band with special guest John Ginty on the organ this Saturday, January 25 at Rivals Nightclub in Easton from 7:3010:30. The Todd Wolfe Band is online at www.toddwolfe.com and on Facebook.

I first met Todd Wolfe and heard him play live for the first time about fourteen years ago in the Great Room at the venerable Lamberton Hall on the campus of Lehigh University. It’s an historic building, steeped in tradition, dating back to 1907, and Todd was great but the Great Room doesn’t have the greatest acoustics even though it was the former home to Lehigh University’s music department. Just a few blocks down the mountain from where Lamberton Hall is situated, on the South Side of Bethlehem, is the equally venerable Godfrey Daniels on East Fourth Street. Size-wise, it’s not on par with Lamberton but acoustically, Godfrey Daniels is a great room! And never was it more evident than last Saturday night as The Todd Wolfe Band played to a tightly packed house with a stellar opening set of acoustic blues by the lovely and talented singer-songwriter-guitarist, Maria Woodford accompanied by master blues harpist, Dennis Gruenling. The Todd Wolfe Band features Wolfe on guitars and vocals, Justine Gardner on bass and backing vocals and Roger Voss on drums and backing vocals. At Godfrey Daniels, they were joined by master keyboardist and New Jersey native, John Ginty. Ginty, who has amassed a healthy number of recording and performing gigs with the likes of Santana, Gregg Allman, Jewel, and Sheryl Crow, lugged his Hammond B3 organ along for the Godfrey’s gig and the collaboration between Wolfe, his band mates and Ginty was nothing short of astounding. Of Ginty, Wolfe says, “John’s impressive. With recording and playing live, it’s been seamless. We haven’t even rehearsed.”
Wolfe’s latest CD, “Miles to Go”, which was released last summer, features the talented Ginty so it was a nice bonus to have him sitting in with the band as they began their set with several tracks off the new record. In Roger Voss and Justine Gardner, Wolfe has found the perfect complement to his blues rock, psychedelic jamming style. Wolfe’s band lineups have changed over the past fourteen years but it looks like he has settled in nicely with Voss and Gardner. As a trio, they have jelled and seem very much at ease with each other. Adding Ginty to the mix, as Wolfe said, was seamless so you’d have to wonder if this might become a regular thing and have the trio become a quartet. A great organist like Ginty brings a lot to the table and it was a delightful treat to be able to hear the four musicians nail each song as if they had been playing together all along. From my vantage point stage right, I could see everything that Ginty was doing on his keyboards and it was actually quite mind-boggling. I never realized just how much effort goes into playing a Hammond organ. There are multi-layered keyboards with different knobs and switches and Ginty has mastered all of them. He and Wolfe seem to have a sixth sense, psychic thing going on as they communicate with each other by a slight glance or nod of the head. Speaking of Ginty, Wolfe adds, “I was thinking of some of the songs - like it’d be good if we just sat down once and just went over the songs before we went out to say, ‘you come in here and I’ll come in there and we’ll work it out.’ We’ve only done four gigs.” Apparently, there’s no need to “work it out” with these guys. They’re that good. Wolfe laughs, “Actually, next week, if he’s not busy and I think we can pull it off,

By: Scotty Scotty Brilliant Brilliant By:
firestorm of controversy that led the outspoken, liberal musician to write a song about it. He also recently dedicated the song to Trayvon Martin. If “American Skin” now has you in a depressed mood, then just wait till the next song “Just Like Fire Would,” to bring you back up again. “Down In the Hole,” is not an Alice in Chains cover, but a blue collar ballad that is eerily similar to one of my all-time favorites from Springsteen, “I’m On Fire.” I really like the Celtic arrangement on the short, but sweet, “This Is Your Sword.” The downon-your-luck sentiment that resonates in most of Springsteen’s songs is evident in “The Hunger of Invisible Game.” With the lyrics “We all come up a little short and we go down hard \ these days I spend my time skipping through the dark \ these days I spend my time skipping through the dark \ I am the hunter of invisible game,” you can’t help but get chills from this song. Morello shows of his guitar prowess again with his signature slide solo in the reworked, and sped up, “The Ghost of Tom Joad.”
With Morello being such a huge fan of Springsteen, Rage Against the Machine covered this a few years ago. The album ends with a cover of Suicide’s “Dream Baby Dream,” a simple, no-frills love song. Crank It High Hopes Harry’s Place Down In the Hole The Ghost of Tom Joad Skip It Heaven’s Wall Dream Baby Dream Springsteen has indeed proved himself to be one of the most, if not the most, prolific songwriter of our time. While High Hopes is nothing groundbreaking in his already extensive catalog, it does fulfill avid fan’s dream to have his unreleased tracks rerecorded to see the light of day. One thing is surely evident, The Boss is still on top of his game, just like he’s been for the past 64 years! Scotty Brilliant is the Afternoon Drive Personality on The Valley’s Real Rock Station, 107 The Bone.

“BRUUUUCCEEEEE!!!!” can be heard reverberating from inside stadiums and arenas around the world when a certain performer is giving it his all during what is most likely nothing short of a three-hour concert. That certain performer just so happens to have the same first name as what the crowd is enthusiastically bellowing in between songs, a performer that needs very little introduction, Bruce Springsteen. What has become a household name (at least in my household), Springsteen is synonymous with Rock ‘n’ Roll and New Jersey. Being a Jersey boy myself, I was raised on the poetic folk rock anthems created by the man who has come to be known as “The Boss.” I have seen him in concert numerous times and I can honestly say that he is my favorite live performer. Every time the 64-year old Springsteen takes the stage, he holds nothing back, leaving it all out there. There is something unique and special about seeing him live, which makes it worth waking up early on Saturday morning to purchase (expensive) tickets. With that being said, over the years I have come to learn that Springsteen is one of those musicians that you either love or hate. I worked with two guys at my former radio job that would argue constantly about Springsteen, one hated him and one was a huge fan. I guess if you can get past his “preachy” persona, you can truly appreciate how gifted of a songwriter and musician he really is. Instead of going over his life story, which wouldn’t come close to fitting on one page, I’ll just skip right to reviewing his new album, High Hopes. With pun intended, I would say that most didn’t have “high hopes” about this album because, essentially, there isn’t any new material on it. It is a collection of covers and re-recorded unreleased songs, some of which include former Rage Against the Machine guitarist (amongst many other bands), Tom Morello. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Springsteen said, “The best way to describe this record is that’s it’s a bit of an anomaly but not much. I don’t really work linearly like a lot of people do.” The album’s very upbeat title track, which was originally recorded in 1995 for the Blood Brothers (EP), now features Morello’s slick guitar contributions and a sweet horn arrangement; this is a great lead-in track. The f-bomb laden “Harry’s Place,” Springsteen does what does best, and that’s tell a story. It might be a deep, dark song but it conveys the story of a seedy bar where you can find the dregs of society congregating. Listen carefully for a sweet, hardcore breakdown at the end, something that might be a first on a Springsteen album. I remember when “American Skin (41 Shots)” was first released and how controversial it was. No, it’s not about you on your 21st birthday. It’s based on an actual event that occurred in 1999 where plain-clothed NYPD officers fired a combined total of 41 shots at an unarmed Guinean immigrant named Amadou Diallo, who fit the profile of a wanted serial rapist. Of the 41 shots that were fired, 19 struck Diallo. This ignited a

PLOT: After a series of murders and a recent disappearance of a little girl an Israeli officer finds that he must pursue the suspect outside of the law. Questions of guilt and the pursuit of justice and revenge get complicated when the father of the missing girl gets involved in this dangerous game of life and death. REVIEW: There is something deeply disturbing at the heart of BIG BAD WOLVES and I mean that in the best possible way. The thriller features a razor sharp comedic edge that maneuvers its way through this revenge fueled tale. While this Israeli offering is slightly similar in structure to the recent PRISONERS, it masks its bleak nature with subversive black humor. In many ways, this is a much darker film than the Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal starrer thanks to its brutal nature and the heinous crimes involved. Thankfully, the filmmakers Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado present this horrendous fable with energy and suspense creating an intriguing nightmare that will keep you guessing from the very first scene.

It all begins with three children playing hide and go seek. Unfortunately for one, she is not found by her two friends or anybody else for that matter. An investigation begins and quickly we are introduced to the prime suspect Dror (Rotem Keinan), an unassuming religious studies teacher who was witnessed at the scene of the crime. After overzealous officers Micki and Rami (Lior Ashkenazi and Menashe Noy) “interrogate” the man illegally with the help of a couple of thugs, Dror is set free. This leads to a temporary suspension for Rami who begins his own off-duty investigation and follows Dror. Soon, both the officer and the suspect are faced with another player involved in this twisted game, Yoram (Doval’e Glickman) who is the father of the missing girl. For much of WOLVES running time, the focus remains on the three main characters Rami, Dror and Yoram. The actors are all quite impressive not only in regards to the serious nature but the comedic elements as well. A phone call from “Mom” to Yoram during an inopportune time works better than it should thanks not only Glickman but the two others as well. The three actors have an immensely strong connection and the more we learn about each, the more layers are revealed. Much of the film takes place in a single location so the mid-section is a reminder that this could have easily been done on-stage. This is not necessarily a complaint as the cast could very well have made this work either way. Thankfully the cast isn’t the only thing that works. Visually this is a striking feature with a strong cinematic approach. While I had mentioned this could have been recreated onstage, the look of the film is just as impressive as the script and the performances. When it comes to the violence it can be gruesome, yet the directors give you just enough to think you are seeing more bloodshed than you actually do. This helps make the scenes of torture nerve-wracking and not because of what is on-screen. BIG BAD WOLVES is an intriguing look at revenge and what drives someone to take the law into their own hands. It is a smart and suspenseful portrayal of the evil that may be hidden deep within us all.

The alcohol laws in Pennsylvania are awful. The fact that Pennsylvania’s alcohol laws haven’t changed much since the end of prohibition and that Pennsylvania remains one of only two states in the entire union to have complete control of liquor sales is well known, but recently when Governor Tom Corbett signed into law Act 90 in November which would take into affect on January 27th of this year and allow for limited gambling related bar games, Pennsylvania liquor laws have reached a new low. Act 90 allows businesses licensed to sell alcohol the opportunity to purchase another separate license enabling them to host three specific games: pull tabs, raffles and daily drawings. Three games, that’s it. Although I’m personally not too interested in gambling, I am very much willing to bet that bingo nights at any local senior citizens’ home is far more interesting and high stakes an a pull tab. Additionally bar owners who apply for this separate license will need to submit a nonrefundable $2000 application fee and, if accepted, the license itself will cost an additional $4000. Furthermore as long as the license is active, bars will be taxed 65% of any revenue that they get from these newly approved bar games. I know that some might argue that this is a small improvement, since it is finally a step forward after many failed attempts at improving the infamously puritanical alcohol laws that Pennsylvania has been stricken with since prohibition, but I argue that with three bar games, at a cost of $6000 these new laws are so intensely limited and excessively costly that they come across as desultory if not out right insulting. The debate surrounding gambling in establishments that serve liquor had already been settled when Pennsylvania opened its doors to the creation of casinos. Residents of the Lehigh Valley, Bethlehem in particular, should be more than aware of this since Sands Casino has pretty much become an integral part of the business community here and a quick walk through the casino will pretty much inform any casual observer immediately that alcohol and gambling are not mutually exclusive in Pennsylvania. What are excluded in these new sets of laws are small businesses. It should go without saying that a small business does not have the type of cash flow that a large franchise casino has. $6000 probably doesn’t mean much to a casino. Yet the liquor laws in Pennsylvania hurt small businesses by making it impossible for them to offer even close to a reasonable value proposition by either making it too expensive to do so or by prohibiting it entirely. Bars don’t need to be casinos, but they do need to be able to host reasonable events without fear of retribution from the state government. When I was in college, I attended a school that was not in Pennsylvania and some of my favorite nights out at the local college bars were when those bars hosted beer pong tournaments; such events are illegal in Pennsylvania because of a state ban on events whereby participants consume alcohol. A few Sundays from now when the biggest day in American sports each year plays out in bars and taverns across the state, tavern owners will still be unable to benefit from promote or even knowingly allow on premise various sports betting pools that may want to be established. These laws are ridiculous. I can imagine very few local taverns that would agree to pay the licensing fee, deal with all of the paperwork and subject themselves to state government regulation in addition to managing the work to actually get these games set up. It seems to me that until real liquor law reform happens in Pennsylvania, smaller local businesses will bear the brunt of the state government’s mistakes and hurting small businesses is not an economic idea that I would be very happy gambling with.

ZODIAC
ARIES (3/21 – 4/19)
A nagging voice in your head is like your own private DVD commentary on Monday and Tuesday. If only it had a sense of humor! Then, on Wednesday, the irrelevant periphery falls away and you find yourself staring into the eyes of someone you feel awfully strongly about. Ah, beauty! Ah, romance! Your infatuation with this person has you feeling possessive on Friday, but give them space. Saturday you sense that some major changes in your life are afoot, and Sunday you’re glowing.
TAURUS (4/20 – 5/20)
SCORPIO (10/23 - 11/21)
Your life blossoms like a flower this week. Monday and Tuesday you are happier and more engaged than you’ve been in a while. And your heart is thumping faster than ever. You and you-know-who make quite a team. Cash, companionship and concerts are in the stars Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday return you to real life, but everything is brighter and better than usual. Some fairly deep emotions come to the surface on Friday -- you clearly care about this person -- and Saturday sparks a passionate interaction. Sunday finds you a bit more distant, almost philosophical.
GEMINI (5/21 – 6/21)
Page 32
LIBRA (9/23 - 10/22)
The details are overwhelming on Monday and Tuesday. Something small, a proverbial straw on the camel’s back, will be the end of you -- unless you do something healthy for your mind and body. Something to blow off steam. Sprinting is one way to go. Or group sports. Wednesday and Thursday, you’ll be so wrapped up in your own head that you’ll forget to pay attention to someone who needs you. As soon as you focus on them, all else will figure itself out. Friday and Saturday are dreamy and portentous, but Sunday is light-hearted, fun and exciting.
A secret finds its way into your awareness on Monday or Tuesday. You’ve become someone’s confidante. You are flattered by their trust. Internally, this week is quite positive for you -- although midweek you may find you don’t have much patience for small talk, decision-making or social situations, what with all the thoughts swimming through your head -- but by Friday you’ll find yourself surrounded by people who are genuinely interested in you. They practically idolize you. Saturday and Sunday.
SAGITTARIUS (11/22 - 12/21)
No matter how much you deserve a bonus, the start of the week is not the time to be dropping hints. You’re better off making sure you don’t drop your coffee. You’ll be doing forty million things at once. The fast-forward blur of Monday and Tuesday slows down to a normal pace on Wednesday and Thursday -- you may even have enough time to be social midweek (what a luxury!) -- and by Friday you’re in bona fide slow-mo. This gives you plenty of time to ponder your future. The weekend, especially Sunday, is ideal for goal setting.
Every time you add up the numbers on Monday, you come up with a different sum. Frustrating! Your head is clearly on other matters. (On other continents?) Steel your focus on Tuesday and try to get the paperwork dealt with. Wednesday and Thursday you can turn off your brain and be purely on the lookout for a good time. Romance, too, is in the stars. Friday you find yourself entering into a friendship -- or a relationship -- you feel unsure about. Saturday you’re in observation mode. But Sunday, relationships and partners are positive themes. So is adventure. CAPRICORN (12/22 - 1/19) CANCER (6/22 – 7/22) A simple fact -- small, beautiful, true -- means the You are attuned to the edges of things on Monday, the world to you on Monday. It solves a puzzle you’ve contrasts, the subtle distinctions. You are perspicacious to been working on for weeks in your mind. It may put the last. Dive into a project that needs some cleaning up, you in the mood to conduct still more research, place that puts you in touch with people you admire and that lets some calls, advance to the next step in a project. you enjoy yourself. Wednesday and Thursday, enjoyment Wednesday is a great day to start something, and Thursday you have energy to spare. Your detachment will be at a minimum -- a bump in the road in your relationship with someone at home challenges you -- and the from emotional matters on Friday puts you in the ideal workweek ends on a hazy note. You go into the weekend frame of mind to make a big decision, and Saturday unsure of where you stand. Do something for yourself this and Sunday find you racing with full speed toward accomplishing a major goal. weekend. Cancel social plans. Be a free agent.

A creative date more about buddies (you might meet someone new, or on Thursday might not cost you a dime.

single in the CiTY 10 FACTS OF LOVE
The following facts are excerpts from Kenny Luck my upcoming book, “101 Facts of Love: The Science, Law and History of Love, Sex and Relationships.” 1. Men from the Forbes 400 list have much younger wives when remarrying—22 years younger—than the general U.S. population. The stereotype that wealthy men marry younger women is true… at least when wealthy men remarry. For example, people like Donald Trump and other similar celebrities confirm this backed-by-research statistic. 2. Until 1967, it was legal for states to ban interracial marriages. A few years after Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, in the midst of the Civil Rights era, the Supreme Court of the United States finally struck down a Virginia state statute that prohibited interracial marriages. 3. A Google search for the word “dating” yields more than 452,000,000 results. Lots of people are looking for love. 4. The length of the erect penis is only about 1¼ inches in gorillas and 1½ inches in orangutans but 5 inches in humans, even though males of the two apes have much bigger bodies. This confirms that the male endowment is comparatively larger than his closest evolutionary relatives. One theory is that the male penis evolved to its current size to match the size of the women’s vaginal cavity. 5. Sigmund Freud’s theory of “sexual symbolism” has been confirmed by empirical research. In one experiment, subjects designated elongated, pointed, or penetrating objects as male, and hollow, rounded, or enclosing objects as female. After Freud put forth his sexual symbolism theory, it was confirmed decades later: people tend to subconsciously associate pointed objects—whether cigars, flag poles, or missiles—as phallic and male, whereas people associate hollow objects—bowls, crevasses, or holes as vaginal and female. 6. In 2010, the online dating industry made $2 billion dollars in the United States. Online dating sites typically charge between $20 and $60 dollars a month. If the member does not find a date, the only one winner is the dating site, a profitable business. 7. One study has found that long-distance relationships can lead to couples becoming closer and developing stronger bonds than normal relationships. The old adage, “Distance makes the heart grow fonder,” has an ounce of truth in it. 8. As of 2004, 7 states—Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Virginia—still punished specific sexual activities between consenting adults of the same sex as a felony. “Sodomy Laws” have been on the books in the United States and elsewhere for centuries. These laws seek to regulate what consenting adults do in private. 9. In Western societies, approximately 40 to 50 percent of women express some level of body dissatisfaction. Alost half of all women in Western societies are not happy with their appearance. This is, I surmise, the outcome of unrealistic standards that are the product of media and marketers. 10. Among those reporting anal sex in on clinic study, condom use by heterosexual women was much rarer (7%) than condom use by homosexual (71%) or bisexual (53%) men. Apparently, when people do it in the naughty place, women use condoms a lot less than homosexual man.
