Is making Filipino men good in bed part of Senator Pia Cayetano’s legislative agenda?

December 5, 2012July 23, 2013 benign0 52 Comments

Just so typical that the top buzz following last night’s Senate deliberations over the wording of the proposed Reproductive Health Bill is around the usual most droll, inconsequential, and irrelevant things. What got Manila’s chattering classes up and about in their usual form was a floor “debate” between top-honcho RH Bill proponent Senator Pia Cayetano…

Why we fall for the charms of psychopaths and narcissists

November 28, 2012 Kate Natividad 8 Comments

Many of us have been wondering about the appeal of those morose characters in the Twilight series of movies. For that matter, I’ve often wondered what is the allure behind vampires? Not only have the mythology of vampires been behind the success of the Twilight films, they seem to have endured as cultural artefacts since…

To all you judgmental Filipinos: prostitutes are people too

October 24, 2012October 24, 2012 Kate Natividad 24 Comments

So what is wrong with prostitution? It is supposedly wrong in the Philippines because the profession has turned its practitioners into some sort of “untouchable” class. Filipinos consider prostitutes to be unclean indecent people who ought to be shunned. As the thinking of the chattering classes goes, prostitution is “dehumanizing” because of this. Thinking lowly…

21st Century dating: Keep them keen by treating them mean?

October 5, 2012 Kate Natividad 3 Comments

I can’t really say I am a “nice” girl. I don’t put up a sugar-and-spice-and-everything-nice front for nobody and I’ve perfected a steely unimpressed look that I am able to sport even in front of guys for whom I am supposed to turn sugar-and-spice-and-everything-nice over. That’s just me, I guess. I’m a bit old-fashioned and…

Money or love: What do Filipino women want?

September 26, 2012 Kate Natividad 28 Comments

What do women want nga ba talaga? Obviously romance sells. The lot of cheesy movies and telenovelas themed on love and romance attests to this. I haven’t seen it yet (though I plan to see it, time permitting) but the latest kilig-fest The Mistress, I heard, is a big hit. According to the reviews, both…

Why the gagging reflex switches off during sex

September 18, 2012 Kate Natividad 4 Comments

It all makes sense to me now. According to a Scientific American article, sexually-aroused women are harder to gross-out… Sex can be, well, kinda gross. So how do we have sex? Once weâ€™re turned on, it turns out, it gets harder for icky stuff to turn us off. Women, anyway. Gross things just donâ€™t seem…

Wanking to lewd Web videos now a crime in the Philippines!

September 17, 2012September 18, 2012 Kate Natividad 33 Comments

Now that there is an anti-Cybercrime law in the Philippines, stuff published online is now subject to the same libel laws that have for some time been applied to stuff published on traditional media like newspapers and magazines and broadcast on TV and radio. I suppose the principle there is that computers and their networks…

Why do many women go for cheating men?

September 7, 2012October 9, 2014 Kate Natividad 27 Comments

Frankly, I don’t understand women who remain with cheating partners. I have a few female friends who remain in relationships with known palikeros (philanderers). They are quick to get their claws out at women who stray too close to their precious hubbies or boyfriends, or hang on more tightly to them when someone perceived to…
