I've noticed that once men cheat, they'll usually keep cheating. It's more about how they perceive their masulinity than anything else. Conversely, with women it's usually about the specific guy they cheated with and the circumstances that led them ... Read More

Any news about the security status arround Riyadh ?
I'm not sure it's wrong: I've seen an increase in Saudi rape videos popping up on The Pirate Bay. They don't seem to be seeded for very long, but it is disconcerting. On a related note, is pepper spray available in the KSA?I've seen such some ... Read More
