The ‘Give Me Five’ Monday meme is designed to share fun information with each other in a simple, short list! Here’s how it works: Each week, I will put out a random topic from my list of topics and you share 5 answers of your choice on the given topic and link back here! You can add photos, links or stories or just a simple list of your own of 5 things that relate to the topic as it pertains to you and your life experiences. It doesn’t have to be in any order of importance unless otherwise specified.

THIS WEEK’S THEME:  GIVE ME 5 LINKS TO YOUR OWN PAST BLOG POSTS THAT ARE MOST MEMORABLE FOR YOU.

1-  To Pierce or Not to Pierce (12/27/07)~  Guess I like this post because I decided to stand up to my stbx.  For years, he controlled me (or tried to), so it’s empowering to do what I think is right, whether he agrees or not.  Her birthday is in three weeks!

2-   Another Form of Family (12/16/07)~  This one is near and dear to my heart because it’s about my friends and how important they are to me.

3-  Perfectionism (12/12/07)~  I battle with this way too frequently.

4-  Teen Alcohol & Substance Abuse (1/25/08)~  Important info here!

5-  Top 10 Sex Myths Debunked (1/21/08)~   Found some entertaining stuff in the article that inspired this post.

Okay, not really news, but found this article somewhat entertaining and thought I’d share. “Top 10 Sex Myths (Only 2 Are True!)“, on iVillage.

Author Tracey Cox writes that the myth that men want sex more frequently than women is false. It’s just that women generally tend to want sex at certain times of the month, rather than all the time. I think that’s probably true, speaking from personal experience.

Another interesting tidbit: Men are usually more promiscuous, but not by much. According to Tracey, it boils down to who’s had the most opportunity. Also, due to societal influences, men tend to be more honest about this topic than women.

If you’ve got a few minutes, follow the link and read the article. You may find yourself surprised by some of the other myths that have been busted–or confirmed!
