. The Erotic Art of Edouard-Henri Avril
Édouard-Henri Avril (21 May 1843 – 1928) was a French painter and commercial artist. Under the pseudonym Paul Avril, he was an illustrator of erotic literature.
Born in Algiers, Avril studied art in various Paris salons. From 1874 to 1878 he was at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris. Having been commissioned to illustrate Théophile Gautier’s novel Fortunio, he adopted the pseudonym Paul Avril. His reputation was soon established and he received many commissions to illustrate both major authors and the so-called “galante literature” of the day, a form of erotica. These books were typically sold in small editions on a subscription basis, organized by collectors.

Born in the Wrong Body
Michelle ( born Michael) knew something was wrong before she reached puberty. She knew she wasn’t a boy, even if she looked like one. She didn’t fit in with the boys, nor could she understand their passion for football, or why they were so cruel.
It wasn’t until she reached college that her life’s path unfolded in her mind, after a few cups of coffee with the psychology professor. She would evolve, step-by-step become a woman, physically, on the outside just as she was inside.
With the hormone injections behind her, the hours of electrolysis, the counseling and planning, the new job in another part of the country, now as a woman, only the final operation remained. She didn’t expect to fall in love, not before that last fateful step that would complete her physical transition as a woman. Telling him, as it turns out, is easily the most difficult thing she ever faced.

. Condom Maker Ranks States By Size
“Who dat” with the largest penises in America? New Orleans, D.C., & New Hampshire top the charts for penis size
LOS ANGELES, March 3rd, 2010 – New Orleans now has another reason to call itself “The Big Easy.” The home of this year’s Super Bowl champs has taken the top spot in Condomania’s ranking of U.S. cities by penis size!
And the men of Washington D.C. apparently are more than just big talk, big egos, and big promises. The Beltway boys claimed a close second place for the biggest average penis size in the nation.
As for the “biggest” state in the Union? While New Hampshire may be one of the smallest states, it’s not so small when it comes to penis size, topping Condomania’s state by state comparison.
America’s first condom store, Condomania (Condomania.com), has just unlocked its huge database of penis sizes and released these unique rankings of the 50 states and the 20 most populated U.S. cities by average penis size. After 20 years in business, Condomania knows perhaps more than anyone else about the nation’s penises.

. In college dorms, ‘post-gender world’
Male and female sharing the same dorm room . . .
By Larry Gordon, Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — They weren’t looking to make a political statement or to be pioneers of gender liberation. Each just wanted a familiar, decent roommate rather than a stranger after their original roommates left to study abroad.
That’s how Pitzer College sophomores Kayla Eland, female, and Lindon Pronto, male, began sharing a room this semester on Holden Hall’s second floor.
They are not a couple, and neither is gay. They are just compatible roommates in a new, sometimes-controversial, dormitory option — known as gender-neutral housing — that is gaining support at some colleges across the nation.
Ms. Eland, a biology major who hopes to become a doctor, said a roommate’s personality and study habits are more important than gender. “This might not be right for everyone,” she said of sharing the small, cinder block-walled room with a man. “But I think it’s important to have the right to choose where you want to live, how you want to live and who you want to live with.”
Mr. Pronto, an environmental studies major who works each summer as a forest firefighter, agreed. Apart from remembering to lower the toilet seat, he said, living with a woman friend is not much different from rooming with a man. “As far as I’m concerned, a roommate is a roommate,” he said.
