Some people just can’t seem to help themselves. The need to capture every single moment of their lives in the form of a selfie is just another part of their day like taking a shower or putting their shoes on.
It could be a case of narcissism, trying to be relevant, or simply wanting to feel like a reality TV celebrity, that makes folks unable to control the urge to be constantly sharing everything through social media.One Reddit user who goes by the name sofiagia, admits the only reason she goes out is to have her photo taken.
Except she is not showing us her meal, pouty lips, or having drinks with friends. For the last two years this woman has been happily snapping photos of herself with couples kissing and making out, without them even noticing. These are the best selfies ever.
The Reddit user sofiagia admits this is the only reason she goes out.
Her friends know better than to start getting steamy out in public.
“I wingman my friends of course, but they know what will happen if they hook up with someone in front of me,” she admits.
Sofiagia reveals that 99% of her victims are complete strangers.
“I am a firm believer that everyone needs to laugh at themselves and making out in public in a sweaty club is hilarious,” she says.
For those worried sofiagia is going to catch you in the act no need to worry, users on Reddit figured out she’s in Canada.
At first it appears she is hanging out with friends who are just getting too hot to handle in public.
Nope! These are people she has never met before.
They have even pin-pointed the city; Vancouver.
Since she shared her hilarious adventures online, she has been getting a lot of romantic offers.
Since she shared her hilarious adventures online, she has been getting a lot of romantic offers.
She does not discriminate either. Whether it’s the club, on a bus or university campus, if you are getting frisky she will take a selfie.
Sometimes the action is just a kiss and an embrace.
Other times couples are really getting it on. Most people would walk quickly if they see this type of PDA.
Sofiagia is pretty brave getting this close and personal with people she has never met.
She has not said if she has ever been caught. By how intense the make outs appear to be, these unsuspecting lovers may just be having too much fun to care.
She is has made photobombing and selfies the perfect marriage.
Life was hard in the Old West as young men flooded the frontier looking for work in an environment where they vastly outnumbered women, leading to a golden age of brothels run by savvy madams.
These photographs from the 19th Century American Frontier show prostitutes inside their bedrooms, mingling with potential customers and scarlet women showing off their wares for the camera.
They reveal life from inside the brothels of the Wild West where prostitutes mixed with some of the most famed outlaws of the day.
These photographs from the 19th Century show American Frontier prostitutes inside their bedrooms, mingling with potential customers and scarlet women showing off their wares for the camera, like these two in Alaska in the 1890s
Two prostitutes pose in an elaborate room in a brothel in Miles, Montana, a town which district judge described as a lively little town of 1,000 inhabitants, but utterly demoralized and lawless
Prostitutes – or ‘soiled doves’ and ‘sportin’ women’ as they were commonly known – were a fixture in western towns and cities.
As the frontier boomed and young men ventured west in search of work in logging, surveying, mining, and farming, there were not enough women to go around.
Maps and population data from the time showed there were up to 20 per cent more men than women in many fringe areas of the west where brothels flourished.
Almost without exception, pioneer mining camps, boomtowns and whistles-stops became home to at least one or two prostitutes – if not a roaring red light district.

Prostitution contributed heavily to town economies in business licenses, fees and fines and many red light districts evolved into the social centres of their communities.
A district judge that visited Miles, Montana, in 1881 described it as a lively little town of 1,000 inhabitants, but ‘utterly demoralized and lawless’.
‘It is not safe to be out on the street at night. It has 42 saloons and there are on an average about a half-dozen fights every night,’ he said.
Although prostitution was largely illegal, visitors could easily find them by merely opening up the local or statewide directories, such as the 1895 Travelers’ Guide of Colorado.
This 66-page manual helped the interested client decide which brothel was right for him. As the industry grew, so did the number of women who approached prostitution as a business profession.
Prostitution was a dangerous job, with many dying from childbirth or from venereal disease.
But some women rose to become extremely wealthy, famous and respectable citizens in their own right by becoming madams of their own brothels.

As one of the best-known madams in the west Mattie Silks of Denver, Colorado said: ‘I went into the sporting life for business reasons and for no other. It was a way for a woman in those days to make money, and I made it.’
Ms Silks opened up her first brothel when she was 19-years-old and made $38,000 (equivalent to $1 million today) in just three months running a bordello in Dawston City, Alaska.
Meanwhile, Fannie Porter’s luxurious brothel in San Antonio, Texas was a popular haunt of Butch Cassidy’s Wild Bunch – the most successful train robbing gang in history.
Several of her ‘girls’ like Etta Place and Della Moore went on to marry Harry Longabaugh (better known as the Sundance kid) and Harvey Logan (known as Kid Curry).

Prostitute Laura Bullion even became a member of the Wild Bunch gang – supporting them by stealing stolen goods during their train robberies.
Being a Madam required a great deal of skill because as well as monitoring the cleanliness of the brothel and providing training, cosmetics and clothes, they has to keep their business transactions discreet and stay on the good side of the law.
They did so by contributing money to charitable organizations, schools, and churches.
Madams also had to deal with internal disputes, such as when Bessie Colvin, a prostitute from El Paso, Texas, caused a stir when in 1886 left one house of prostitution for another.
This caused her previous madam to punch Bessie’s new madam, which was retaliated with a gunshot wound to the groin.
Until the early twentieth century, madams predominately ran the brothels, after which male pimps took over and the treatment of the women generally declined.

Mattie Silks became on the best known madams in the west, having brothels in Dodge City, Kansas and Denver, Colorado where demand for women was high due to the gold rushes. Mattie was a competitive businesswoman and engaged in a public duel with rival madam Kate Fulton when she opened another brothel on her patch.
Mattie was so successful that she netted $38,000 (the equivalent of $1 million today) running a bordello for three months in Dawson City, Alaska. Mattie married at least twice and also kept a lover. She had a reputation for excellent service in her establishments and was known for sheltering the needy and homeless in her brothels.
BELLE BREZING
Belle Brezing, pictured, became notorious when during the Spanish-American war of 1898 she only allowed men above a certain rank in the Army to use her brothel and became so famous that when she died she even received an obituary in Time Magazine
Belle Brezing (1860-1940) was a nationally-known madam in Lexington, Kentucky – and started her first brothel in the former residence of First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln.
Belle catered to powerful men from Lexington and beyond, men who came to the city because of the horse business and tobacco. She gained a national reputation during the Spanish-American War (1898) when U. S. Army units were billeted in Lexington – and she only allowed officers of senior rank in her brothel.
Belle was so famous that her death warranted an obituary in Time Magazine – that she is said to have been the model for Belle Watling in the classic novel, Gone with the Wind.
BIG NOSE KATE (1850-1940)
Big Nose Kate, pictured here aged 15, left, broke her lover Doc Holliday out of jail in 1877 by setting a fire and pulling a gun on a guard
Originally from Hungary, Mary Katharine Haroney – more commonly known as ‘Big Nose Kate’ to her clients – travelled to Kansas at age sixteen to seek her fortune as a prostitute. Whilst working as a prostitute in Fort Griffin, Texas, she began a relationship with one of the deadliest/legendary/gunslingers Doc Holliday – which lasted until his death.
Kate continued to work as a prostitute throughout her relationship with Holliday – and even broke him out of jail in 1877 by starting a fire and pulling a gun on the prison guard.
JULIA BULETTE (1832-1867)
Julia Bulette was known as the original ‘hooker with a heart of gold’ and was the only single woman when she arrived in Virginia City, Nevada in 1859 aged 27 and was in much demand by the miners, soon becoming a prostitute. She was murdered in 1867
Julia Bulette, an English-born American prostitute moved to mining boomtown Virginia city, Nevada in 1859 when she was twenty-seven years old. As she was the only single/ unmarried woman in the city, she became sought after by the miners and quickly decided to take up prostitution.
Julia is often remembered as being the ‘original hooker with a heart of gold’ – she donated large sums of money to miners in hardship, nursed victims of the influenza epidemic and was much-loved in Virginia City. When she was murdered by a French drifter in 1867, the whole town went into mourning for her – all the mines and saloons closed out of respect and thousands attended her funeral.
LAURA BULLION (1876-1961)
Laura Bullion worked as a prostitute in Fannie Porter’s famed brothel in nearby San Antonio. It was here that Laura began a relationship with outlaw and member of Butch Cassidy’s Wild Bunch, William ‘News’ Carver
Born in Knickerbocker, Texas, Laura Bullion worked as a prostitute in Fannie Porter’s famed brothel in nearby San Antonio. It was here that Laura began a relationship with outlaw and member of Butch Cassidy’s Wild Bunch, William ‘News’ Carver.
Although Carver initially denied Laura’s pleas to join the gang at first, he eventually relented. The group admired her skill at stealing stolen goods and assisting their train robberies – and she was nicknamed the ‘Rose of the Wild Bunch’ by them.
When Laura was arrested after a train robbery n 1901, the Chief of Detectives Desmond noted of her ‘I would’nt [sic] think helping to hold up a train was too much for her. She is cool, shows absolutely no fear’
Laura Bullion was released from prison in 1905 and lived the remainder of her life as a seamstress, dying in Memphis, Tennessee in 1961, the last of the Wild Bunch.
It’s very natural to want a partner who’ll stick with you till the end. Everyone wants someone that they can return home to. Someone that makes them feel safe, stable and satisfied. You think you’ve found the right person until the apprehension kicks in. This is when you start to wonder if there’s any guarantee about where your relationship with them will go. Will they stick with you till the end? Or will you lose them and end up heartbroken? How can you know whether your bond will last? Well, lucky for you, there is a way to be sure. Following are ten signs that decide whether your relationship will last forever:
1. When You Need To Tell Them Something, You Only Have To Focus On What To Say, Instead of How To Say It
It’s true that one should always weigh their words before speaking them. You don’t want to have any slip-ups that you can’t later correct. Also, you don’t want to be judged for something you said on impulse and did not really mean. It’s understandable that your dignity and reputation are precious to you, and so, it’s important for you to speak wisely.
But here’s the thing: The rule only applies to social interactions. When it comes to your significant other, the trust should be strong enough that you can speak your mind without being judged. You should both be comfortable with the idea of mistakes, and not fret over little mishaps. There should be enough room to work things out. If your relationship is that open, it will surely go a long way.
2. You Treat Each Other The Way You Want To Be Treated
If you feel like you’re the only one struggling to keep things steady, you need to reconsider some things. Inequality will eat up your relationship. None of you should be superior or inferior to the other. Talking over the other, yelling, having your way every time, not negotiating before making important decisions that affect the both of you; these are all signs of inequality. Make sure that you or your partner, are not getting that kind of leverage.
3. You Never Talk About Your Partner’s Shortcomings In Public
Not even jokingly. One of you should NOT be reporting to a third party about ‘the laundry you still haven’t got around to doing’ or ‘just how annoying it is when you don’t put your shoes in place after taking them off.’ There is really no excuse for one to be discussing the other’s flaws with anyone else but them. Instead, you should always have each other’s back. If your partner is being badmouthed, it’s your responsibility to defend them, even if they were at fault. You can later tell them to correct their mistake or improve for the better but you need to be their support system. And support always mean confiding in each other – not external sources.
4. In Case Of Bad News, Your Partner Should Be The First Person You Want To Inform, Not The Last
Are they really your partner, if you don’t turn to them to seek help? A good relationship is where there is transparency between the two. You shouldn’t have to worry about making a mistake and letting them know of it. Both of you should be able to have conversations about your bad habits and how you sometimes fail. And please note that these conversations should be free of judgment, of course. If you trust that your partner will always be there for you, whether the time is good or bad, then it means that your relationship will live a long life.
5. You Want The Best For Each Other
Research suggests that healthy couples stay together much longer than those couples that disregard their mental and physical health. If your partner cares about whether you’re feeding yourself well or getting those kilometers of jogging done, it’s a sign. Your partner doesn’t need to shower you with gifts to care about you. Just the fact that they wish the best for you is enough. And it’ll show in their gestures that they care. Maybe they woke up early to prepare a surprise breakfast for you. Or maybe they got you some new makeup because they happened to cross by your favorite store. All of this count.
6. You Value Each Other’s Time And Money
Your partner is your best friend, so you should want to spend the maximum amount of your time with them. If your job takes up most of your day, and you usually get home late for dinner, chances are that your partner will leave you. They want to be your first priority and you can’t blame them because let’s are honest – you want the same from them. Also, if your partner is splurging, and it’s your hard-earned money that they’re using, that’s not a good sign. If they don’t respect your property, then they most likely won’t respect you. Exploitation equals to mortal relationships.
7. You Give Each Other Space When Needed
It could be because your old dog passed away at your parent’s house or because you recently moved in and are trying to get used to living with your honey. In any case, if your partner is giving you the space you asked for, don’t mistake it for indifference. They understand that your healing process will take some time, and so they’re willing to let go only because they want the best for you.
8. You’re Grateful For Each Other
If you’re not taking your partner for granted and at times you still yourself in amazement at how you scored someone like your partner; you’re in it for the long run. Exchanging THANK YOUs and apologizing first are signs that show how much gratitude each person has for the other.
9. You Get Along With Each Other’s Friends
Or at least try to. Both of you should like the other’s friend circle. It’s one thing to not be used to a certain type of crowd, but to avoid it altogether? That’s some dangerous territory. If they like you enough, they’ll like your friends too. Usually, a person’s personality is a result of the company they hang out with. So if your friends aren’t making the cut for your partner, soon enough you won’t either.
10. You Are Never Jealous Of Each Other
This goes without saying. I’ve already mentioned that in a long-lasting relationship, one should want the best for the other. Jealousy contradicts that. If your partner envies your success or tries to compete with you, it’s a bad sign. Some competition is healthy, though. For instance, if your partner did the laundry this week, you go out of your way to do the dishes. But if your partner is trying to get you demoted at work, only because you’re earning a lot more than them – ditch them before things get messy.
Sex is great, isn’t it? But what’s even better is those weird facts about having sex that you should have learned in your school but didn’t. It’s is one of those things that you really want to talk about, but at the same time, you really don’t. I’m among the ones who didn’t get any sex-ed classes in my school these weird facts about it made my jaw drop!
So here we’ve listed down some weird facts about sex that will creep you out! Maybe!
1.The smell of pumpkins and a male aphrodisiac is somewhat similar.

On a Greek island, a penis curse from Ancient Greece was discovered. It was inscribed on a lead tablet and said: “May your penis hurt every time you make love”. Nobody taught me that in school!
Have you heard the phrase “going at it like rabbits”? Well, that’s because every ejaculation of a man contains an average of 280 million sperm, which is the same as for rabbits.
