The majority homosexuals/non-sexuals will not reproduce because they are unable to do so with a partner of the same sex/they have no desire to (of course there are exceptions to both of these). With a portion of the population not reproducing, population levels are maintained without the need to cull the existing population.

Makes sense IMO, and apparently there are boffins out there who agree with me. One reader sent in this great paper to Savage Love about the topic which I found to be in interesting read.

And if you are interested in hearing about the reader lose his anal virginity to his girlfriend and seeing a picture of his arse , the original letter is here.

Here’s some things that I have reflected on and learnt since my initial ride:

1. Lycra, lycra, lycra! That is all.
2. Always keep striving to go faster, harder and longer. That bitch arse ride will soon become ez-mode.
3. Never rely on anyone else to have a pump suitable for Presta valves.
4. You can achieve anything with warm hands and protected eyes.
5. Super short laces are a far more cost effective than brand new shoes.
6. Fluoro hoodies are both cute and functional for late afternoon rides.
7. Suck it up and take the hill. The easy route is full of pot holes anyway.
8. Cookies are most definitely better post-ride.
9. If you are going to push to break the pain barrier, be prepared for the agony after the endorphins wear off.
10. More lycra!

I just had some more stuff arrive today. Really looking forward to installing it and going out for another ride this afternoon. Now that I have my cycle computer/heart rate monitor, I can finally start logging my rides too, yay \o/

1. I have a looooong way to go before I can achieve my goal of being able to ride 100km.
2. I need it invest in:
   • a backpack – shoulder bags are a nuiscense
   • a few pairs of longs – bare legs in winter are not fun
   • sunglasses – later afternoon sun and chilly winds are also un-fun
   • gloves -  unprotected hands are susceptible to Raynaud’s phenomenon
   • lights – it gets dark early here
   • bike lock – was too scared to drop by the shops, out of fear of having my bike stolen
   • shoes without laces – a must!
   • cyclometer – so i can log my rides
3. Sneaky hills are a sneaky. Must make better use of gears.
4. Some road users are cunts. Always be alert.
5. Longer warm ups are necessary to avoid burnout.
6. Heaters left on by housemates make the living areas unpleasant when trying to cool down.
7. Endorphin-induced highs are the greatest!
8. Pineapple pieces are a most delicious post-ride snack.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy for all of my lovely friends and wish them all the happiness in the world. I am just astonished by the significant number of people who are doing it atm!

Perhaps the swine flu pandemic has made them realise that time is precious and they want to make the most of what they have left before the aporkalypse… *giggle*

*Tired joke I know, but I couldn’t help myself!

Had a conversation about this with my sister tonight who is currently in the process of making the ‘ultimate stripper song’ playlist instead of packing to drive down to see me tomorrow (how rude!)
