Love and Sex

These ways to show love are a code of behaviour and, as such, it cannot be enforced upon anyone. The word ‘burden’ is chosen advisedly though it need not have a negative connotation. Merely it should not be undertaken lightly. Hence it is a burden of responsibility to those who wish to invoke its powers. […]

Do I care? I’m not homophobic or anti the bisexual lifestyle (never tried either homosexuality or bi-swinging, since I have great taste in WONDERFUL women!) But I am anti-lying and secrecy, especially in this context. It unquestionably puts a woman at risk when her partner is bisexual and (in effect) promiscuous. I think that’s despicable. What’s got Prof. going on this, you may ask? A new paper suggesting bisexual men have higher rates of mental health problems than gay men do, and the speculation by researchers that this burden might stem from their desire to keep their “on the side” sexual relationships with men secret. Researchers evaluated the mental health of more than 200 bisexual men in the New York City area, over the age of 18, who were married to or in a relationship with a woman and had had sex with a man in the past year. None of the men had told their female partner about their same-sex relationship. The study found that men who were afraid of people finding out were more likely to experience depression and anxiety and lack positive feelings. Serves you right would sound too unkind. But I’m not sympathetic.

Shocking Scans Show The Real Impact of Love on a Child’s Brain Mother’s care could do more than just keep a child comfortable. It may affect how large his or her brain grows. Shocking: According to neurologists the sizeable difference between these two brains has one primary cause – the way were treated by their mothers Both of these images are brain scans of a two three-year-old children, but the brain on the left is considerably larger, has fewer spots and less dark areas, compared to the one on the right. According to neurologists this sizeable difference has one primary cause – the way each child was treated by their mothers. But the child with the shrunken brain was the victim of severe neglect and abuse. According to research reported by the newspaper, the brain on the right worryingly lacks some of the most fundamental areas present in the image on the left. The consequences of these deficits are pronounced – the child on the left with the larger brain will be more intelligent and more likely to develop the social ability to empathise with others. But in contrast, the child with the shrunken brain will be more likely to become addicted to drugs and involved in violent crimes, much more likely to be unemployed and to be dependent on state benefits. The child is also more likely to develop mental and other serious health problems. Professor Allan Schore, of UCLA, told The Sunday Telegraph that if a baby is not treated properly in the first two years of life, it can have a fundamental impact on development. It also seems that the more severe the mother’s neglect, the more pronounced the damage can be.

In the UK it’s pussy, in Spain conejo (rabbit) and in the USA beaver (apologies if you didn’t know all that and you are embarrassed—but on my websites we don’t do coy). All references to a woman’s exterior genitalia seem to suggest a small furry animal. The vulva-vagina is the prize for many a man’s dream (and I suppose, these days, one has to say for those who bat for the other team too). Vaginal health is little talked about; probably less than vaginal disease even. A new study called my attention to an interesting fact. Apparently vaginal flora can change quite significantly over time. This is issue is almost as important as intestinal flora and the subject of dysbiosis.

It might sound like an odd question: of course orgasm is sexual, you say. But it may not be as clear cut as you think. An interesting study I spotted in a special issue of the journal Sexual and Relationship Therapy showed that women could have orgasms, just from exercising. Not very sexy but sounds like good fun! This type of orgasm I’m talking about is sometimes referred to as a “coregasm” because of its association with exercises that involve core abdominal muscles. According to study author Debby Herbenick, co-director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University’s School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, the most common activity associated with exercise-induced orgasm were abdominal exercises, climbing poles or ropes, biking/spinning and weight lifting. The findings are based on the results of online surveys completed by 124 women between the ages of 18 and 63, who reported experiencing exercise-induced orgasms and 246 women who experienced exercise-induced sexual pleasure. Most of the women were married or in a relationship and about 69 percent were heterosexual. The excitement was not just a one-off either; about 40 percent of the women who had experienced exercise-induced orgasms and exercise-induced sexual pleasure had done so on more than 10 occasions. Most of the women were not fantasizing. So what works? I knew you’d be asking that!
