Hehehehe. Introducing the US audiences to the complex linguistics of 'rank', 'wanker' and 'wanking' - There's always been a disconnect between American and UK language in the sexual realm and I'm all in favour of the confusion - confusion in which wanker and fanny reign supreme. :o)

Great article, and you're probs right - more men being less fixated on getting their needs met by women might be a decent safety valve - provided of course we continue to encourage the skill building required to talk to women.
