-- Interview with female Sumo wrestling champion. 7/14/2019.
"The Lightweights Womens -52kg In another small category, this looked likely to be a shoot out between two of the best fighters in the World. Former World champion Legna Verdecia (CUB), who was unlucky not to regain the title last October when Noriko Narasaki inexplicably avoided being penalised for passivity, probably started the tournament as favourite. Running her close, though was the Olympic champion Marie-Claire Restoux (FRA), also a double World champion. Restoux, however, has never performed to her full potential at the Tournoi and has only managed a solitary bronze in 1998. Incredibly, Restoux has never quite performed on a European level either, again never managing better than bronze. Unfortunately the two were scheduled to meet in the quarter-final so there was no prospect of a grand finale. That prospect proved to be academic anyway as Restoux s poor Tournoi form continued and she lost in the opening round against Hye-Suk Kim (KOR), runner-up last year. Restoux looked uncomfortable and was twice penalised for passivity while Kim also scored yuko as the French-woman never managed to get into the fight. Kim then beat Fabiane Hukuda (BRA) to set up a meeting with Verdecia in the quarter-final. Verdecia had earlier thrown Milana Kleina (RUS) for ippon and used her great strength to comfortably overcome Kim in ne-waza, pinning her for ippon with kami-shiho-gatame ..."

Your nose helps you find a mateIt’s amazing how many of our body functions are directed toward sexual activity and reproduction. The nose plays a critical role in our perceptions of sex through the olfactory system. The sense of smell is a key component of how we identify people when we are close to them. The characteristic smell of a person’s perfume or cologne or the scent of their shampoo or soap may be important to sexual arousal. The smell of human perspiration has a direct effect on sexual receptors in the brain. Loss of smell correlates with decreased sexual drive.
Another interesting and widely debated area is the impact of pheromones, which are very important to reproduction in animals, as well as on human sexuality and stimulation. Particularly fascinating is a small accessory organ in the nose – the vomeronasal organ (VNO) – that is related to the olfactory system. Some refer to it as the sixth sense. The VNO is located at the base of the nasal septum or in the roof of the mouth and is present in almost all animals, including amphibians. Unlike in many animals like rodents and dogs where the VNO is important, the human VNO is largely vestigial, which means it’s non-functional or acts as an old remnant like the appendix. But some researchers believe that it still plays a role in pheromone and other chemical communication.
The eyes never lie.
