Please Sign This Sexual Consent Form Before You Do Me

sexual-consent-contractIn talking with some of my recent college graduate friends about sex in college now-a-days, one girl mentioned to me that the participants had to sign a sexual consent legal form before actually having sex.

One Thing a Woman Should Never Divulge

woman-embarrassedCan a woman say something that may cause a man to leave her rather quickly? If so, this might be that thing.

If you are single, you may be able to relate to what I am about to say.  If you are married, it may be somewhat more foreign.

Spanish Pronunciation: The Three Golden Rules

Spanish-Pronunciation-rulesSpeaking Spanish should be easy.

Normally, they pronounce each letter as it is. With me, the problem often lies in emphasis, in stress. Where should you place the stress on a particular word in Spanish?

In my first month Living In Uruguay, I was off to meet my friends in a salsa club on a street called Rincon. I knew that I was near the place, but I could not locate the street. I saw this amiable older women and decided to put my Spanish learning to the test.

I politely asked:

Me: Dónde está la calle Rincon? (Where is the street Rincon?)
