Wikipedia readings:
Chinese medicine highly value the plant Ginseng (人蔘), which is reputed as a panacea. Apparetnly, there is little scientific basis. I was thinking that the English name is Mandrake (plant); apparently i was mistaken. Mandrake, in the Western culture, is associated with magic spells, and the plant itself is poisonous. I learned, that ginseng is classificed as a Adaptogen.
Fun song: White and Nerdy. From the article, i learned what's a dental Grill (jewelry), and what it means when a Action Figure is said to be “cherry”, among other things.

3-ball Juggling Trick: Horse Stance
If you are a chick and not a looker, there are good ways to compensate. And, the primary thing is to be a loving, caring, feminine chick. (which is a natural quality to most women, anyway) You may not effectively realize, but every man gets extremely turned on if you are simply a nubile female. (this isn't true if you reverse the sexes) However, even if a women is below average in appearance, she can excude incredible amount of alluring attraction by just being feminine. (think of French women, or, a aggressive alternative, Latin American women)
On the other hand, even a beauty queen, can be extremely aversive and a big turn off. (just picture such a bitch often depicted in American movies.) A beautiful bitch, may get her fill when it comes to sex, but in general does not have a happy or loved life.
I, of course, dig hot (and young) chicks, but not necessarily needs to be all that beautiful or slim, or buxomness. What in particular turns me on about women, is intelligence, and maternal love. (I will die for blue eyes and blonde hair)
O! I need a hug from a woman. (i can just imagine the soft tissues and warmth pressed against my chest)

De Wallen, Prostitution in the Netherlands. Hurrah to the Nether-Lands!
Some excerpts:
Prostitution has long been tolerated in the Netherlands under the gedoogbeleid (policy of tolerance) with the reasoning that the worlds 'oldest profession' has proven impossible to ban by any government. Indeed in where it is banned it is usually the prostitute who is the victim and, as the easiest target, the one who suffers criminal prosecution instead of the client or pimp.
The prostitutes are usually self-employed, though not always. Health and social services are readily available, but the women are not required to undergo regular health checks. A recent study found that despite health rules, about 7 percent of Dutch prostitutes have HIV/AIDS.
Dutch attitudes regarding prostitution support legalization and normalization. Public opinion polls conducted in the late 1990s show that the Dutch public overwhelmingly rejects the notion that prostitution is unacceptable, deviant behavior. In a 1997 survey, 73 percent of Dutch citizens favored legalization of brothels, 74 percent said that prostitution was an “acceptable job,” and in a 1999 poll 78 percent felt that prostitution is a job like any other job (polls cited in Weitzer 2000, p. 178)
