World Of Tourism

Relationships are always the hot topic after New Years because people need people and at the end of the day we are all looking for a partner or we look for ways to spice up the relationship we are already in. However, as with all things in this life, there are stereotypes. We tend to believe that it's higher on a woman's priority list than on a man's and we've believed that for quite some time.

Sitcoms, movies, documentaries all depict the lonely and desperate single woman in search of true love. I don't think it's without just cause that it's depicted that way, I recently went to a wine tasting with a group of single gals and was a bit stunned at the way some of them behaved and realized that's it's those women that give the rest of us a bad name.

But this morning I was pleasantly surprised at a survey that was done in the UK. First on the list of New Years resolutions for everyone, regardless of gender, was to enjoy life more. Second on the list for men was true love whereas for women it was fifth on the list. They are saying that the recession has pushed up priorities such as debt and saving money but this is still a very interesting find and some good news for the single girls out there. Here's to 2010 and finding Mr Right, it seems it's going to be a little easier (wink).

A scandalous sex survey handed out to schoolchildren as young as 11 or 12 has led to regional government education authorities taking up the issue.

Kids in the fourth year of a high school in Requena (Valencia) were asked to compile a questionnaire about sexual habits for a class project.

The survey had 77 questions on it and some were of an extremely scandalous nature, for example "what nationality of men last longer in bed?" or how about "Why do women's moods change when they are on their period?" excuse me? what is this all about?

Now I am definitely not a prude in any way and I'm actually pro sex education because I think we have a serious problem with children making decisions based on ignorance. But this is just ridiculous. There are certain things that an 11 or 12 year old should not be thinking about!

What I want to know is who allowed this to happen? Surely someone in an authoritive position saw this "educational sex survey" and that person should be reprimanded. The world is a sick enough place and now children must be exposed to this in the environment they are supposed to safe and cared for in?

The regional government’s ministry of education says it is taking the matter very seriously and intends to investigate. I hope so.
