BEAVER: ANIMAL, PUSSY & TELEVISION SERIES

The beaver (genus Castor) is a furry, semi-aquatic rodent. Their colonies

create one or more dams in streams to provide still, deep water to protect
against predators and to float food and building material. Much of the early
exploration of North America was driven by the quest for this animal's pelt
which was used to make clothing, top-hats and merkins. A merkin is a pubic
wig. Merkins were originally worn by women after shaving their pubic hair in
an effort to combat pubic lice (a.k.a. crabs) and by prostitutes to cover up
signs of disease, such as syphilis. Today, merkins are worn during film making
to prevent inadvertent exposure of the genitalia during nude scenes. Lucy
Lawless was fitted for a merkin for Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

The term "beaver" is American slang for female genitalia or pussy. However,
given its origin, the term should apply only to the "furry" portion. The first
known published use of "beaver" in this context occurred in 1927 in an
anthology of American folk verse: "She took off her clothes from her head to
her toes and a voice at the keyhole yelled, "Beaver!"

"Leave It to Beaver" was an American television situation comedy (1957

-1963) that attained iconic status exemplifying the idealized suburban family
of the mid-20th century. It was about an inquisitive but often nave boy
named Theodore "The Beaver" Cleaver (portrayed by Jerry Mathers) and his
adventures at home, in school, and around his suburban neighborhood. The
show also starred Barbara Billingsley and Hugh Beaumont as Beaver's
parents, June and Ward Cleaver.

KISSING BOOTH

A kissing booth was a carnival attraction where the person running the booth
kissed customers for money, often to raise funds for charity. Customarily, no
tongue was involved. Today, dogs are commonly placed in the booth to raise
money for a charity such as the Humane Society. In this case, tongue is
always involved.

CONDITIONED REFLEX

The concept for which Dr. Ivan Pavlov is famous is the "conditioned reflex."
He noticed that dogs tended to salivate before food was actually delivered to
their mouths. He developed an experiment where he would ring a bell when
he fed his dogs. Initially, the dogs salivated due to the food, but after some
time with the bell, the dogs would salivate after just hearing the bell with no
food required.

SEX DRIVE IN WOMEN

All women naturally have very low levels of testosterone. One theory is that
women with a high sex drive have a greater number of testosterone
receptors on their cells or receptors that are more sensitive to testosterone.
Thus, the natural low level of testosterone in these women would have a
greater effect. Women with a very high sex drive are uncommon enough to
have a special name: nymphomaniac. Men with a very high sex drive are
common and are just called men.

FEMALE BREASTS

The breasts of the human female are unique in the animal world. Other
species of primates produce an abundant supply of milk for their offspring
without developing well-defined hemispherical breasts.

According to one hypothesis the breasts we know today are an evolutionary

side-effect of bipedal locomotion. Walking upright gave our ancestors an edge
by freeing up appendages for carrying things, manipulating tools and having
a higher vantage point when they walked on the ground. Walking upright also
meant that the round buttocks that attracted the male were no longer at eye
level. Females that deployed similar round shapes at eye level were more
attractive to males and therefore had a selective advantage.

COOPER'S DROOPERS

Cooper's ligaments are connective tissue in the breast that helps maintain
structural integrity. They are named for Astley Cooper, who first described
them in 1840. Ward considered himself quite clever when back in medical
school he coined the term "Cooper's Droopers" to describe sagging breasts
and shared it with his fellow students as a device to remember the ligaments
name.

ORAL SEX ISN'T SEX

From 1995 to 1997 United States President Bill Clinton received blow jobs
from White House intern Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office. Mr. Clinton did
not consider blow jobs to be sex. One of the best-known sound bites of his
presidency was, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss
Lewinsky."

According to a 2007 survey only 20% of college students think of oral-genital

contact as having sex. This represents a dramatic and abrupt decrease since
1991, when a similar survey found that nearly twice as many young adults
would classify oral-genital contact as sex.

Researchers point to President Clinton's notorious statement, "I did not have
sexual relations with that woman," as the pivotal turning point in society's
changing views about oral sex. This attitude shift has been called the
"Clinton-Lewinsky" effect.

DIMPLES

The term "dimples of Venus" is a historically accepted name within the

medical profession for the superficial topography of the sacroiliac joints.
These indentations are created by a short ligament stretching between the
posterior superior iliac spine and the skin. There are other deep-to-superficial
skin ligaments, such as "Cooper's ligaments" mentioned in Ch. 01 which help
support the breasts.

TRAMP STAMP

"Tramp Stamp" is a derogatory term referring to a tattoo on the lower back of

a woman. Women's lower backs are often viewed as an erotic body part,
leading to the association of lower-back tattoos with sexuality. Lower-back
tattoos are also perceived as an indication of promiscuity by some.

DOGGY STYLE

Humans are the only primates that mate face-to-face. In other primate

species, the female displays swollen red buttocks to attract a male when
she's ready for mating. Human females display enlarged buttocks
permanently. This is because regular human sexual activity can encourage
long-term pair-bonding for the successful rearing of children.

Wearing tight jeans is popular because they highlight the buttocks and give
them a firm, rounded look. High heel shoes make the wearer arch her back,
push out her buttocks, and make her wiggle when she walks. Marilyn Monroe
reputedly cut three-quarters of an inch (2 cm) off the heel of her left shoe to
emphasize her wiggle.
