I, Nurse Patience, have received many smses, tweets and emails from worried twits and twitteresses. It bothers me that the media seems obsessed with the prurient details but haven’t felt the need to address the deeper medical and psychological issues.

What is Sex by Surprise?

Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing new about ‘Surprise Sex’ or ‘Sex by Surprise’ also known as a ‘Sexual Assange’. An Assange is simply defined as delayed retroactive unwanted sex between two completely consenting adults.

When it comes to recycling, the paper, plastics and glass items each have a neat little home. But what about all of those phthalate-ridden toys that are already lurking in those dark corners of your bedroom closet? Throwing them in the garbage is not the right answer. The landfills definitely do not need any more toxic waste that will linger there for generations to come.
