Literature and books


Well, from kid I never like to read books because a lot of them are really boring and I would prefer make other things like play soccer or make math exercises, so my experience reading books is really poor until my arrive to the University where my obligation was and is read books every day, but not literature’s books, but scientific books.


Read is a good habit because you can develop important cognitive skills like the understanding and the concentration. Read literature’s books is really amazing because you can have a pleasant moment knowing about other worlds and experiences.


I’m trying to remember my story with literature’s books and I only can say you about one, “Cien años de soledad”. I read this book three times, the first time I didn’t understand it because I was eleven years, but when I returned to read this book, I couldn’t stop. Gabriel García Márquez is the writer of “Cien años de soledad” and he was the skill to create a new world with fantastic characters: Aureliano, José Arcadio, Úrsula or Amaranta are some characters of their story and they are living on Macondo.


When I was kid I read the novel “El príncipe y el mendigo”, it is an interesting story about two brothers with different lives where they have the possibility to change their social situation and live new experiences, is a great story.


Read is an important habit because allow open your mind.

American people and their sexual secrets.


The interpretation of "survey's results" are an important work of a Sociologist and now I will show you some data about the sexual life of American people, the information was given through the "National survey of American' sex lives".

Reading the article, I can say you than actually the American people are more adventurous in bed than before. It's because they are using a combination of five basic sexual acts (penile-vaginal intercourse, solo masturbation, mutual masturbation, oral sex and anal sex) . The 16% of women aged 18-24 said use four of the five basic techniques the last time they had sex : "The findings demostrate the enormous variability that occurs in the sexual repertoire" concludes Debby Herbenick of Indiana University's. The oral sex is being a common sexual act because the 88% of men aged 30-39 have done it on a woman, the 69% of them in the past year.

On the other hand, the masturbation is really massive in United States because between the 28% and 69% of men in each age seem masturbating during the last month. Other data say that the masturbation is the most common sex act among 14-24 years old. Finishing with this topic, the 50% of women among 18 and 49 years had done masturbation during the last ninety days.

Finally, the survey shows results about "the orgasm gap" ¿What is exactly this? Is the comparation, in percentages, between the real female orgasm from their experience and the perception of the men about the female orgasm. The results shows than the 64% of women said they had reached orgasm in their most recent "sexual event" and, on the other hand, the 85% of men report that their partner had done orgasm during their most recent encounter.

To finish the post, I have to give you the link where you can obtain more information about this topic:
