Your Erotic Life

Sat,19 May 2012

If your erotic life has gone from an all-out sexfest to a G-rated event, you are not alone. While chronic aversion to sex is a serious issue, an occasional drop in your sex drive is perfectly normal.

Stress The work on your desk keeps piling up and your latest dot-com investment just took a nosedive. When stressful events take over, they suck the sexual energy right out of you.

Illness You won't be feeling too sexy when your nose is running and the pile of Kleenex next to your bed keeps growing exponentially. Likewise, PMS may leave you tempo

Erotic Preferences

Thu,17 May 2012


Articles about body image usually focus on either shaping-up or honoring the shapes we have, even if they are more voluptuous (for women) or heftier (for men) than the medias ideal. However, theres another side to the body acceptance story that some might call a darker, or even more bizarre side. It turns a cultural preoccupation with thinness and dieting completely upside down.

The story begins right here on the internet, where forums have sprung up for admirers of the large and lovely. As with other niche erotic preferences, connections in cyberspace have brought the most extreme varia

Emotional and Sexual Forces

Tue,15 May 2012

Websites abound for men and women who adore the fat form, fat fantasy and Feeder imagery. For instance, photo-manipulation sites showcase celebrities "before and after" packing on 50-100 pounds, so that the formerly svelte pin-up is viewed in pulchritudinous glory. One of the more fascinating aspects of this Photoshop phenomenon is the realization that many super-thin women also look gorgeous as women of size. Do they look different? Yes; but still lovely in a startlingly alternative way. Or, perhaps, it would be more accurate to say that they look beautiful within an alternative dimension: an imaginary

Sexual Arousal

Sun,13 May 2012


In the 1980s, sex and gender researcher John Money coined the term "lovemap." A lovemap is the erotic template you develop early in life, and later respond to sexually. Specifically, Money defined it as "a developmental representation or template in the mind and in the brain depicting the idealized lover and the idealized program of sexual and erotic activity projected in imagery or actually engaged in with that lover."

This concept of a lovemap has relevance to preferences involving characteristics like gender, ethnicity, height, and weight. A lovema

Sexual Desire Defined

Fri,11 May 2012



Most sex therapists would agree that of all the problems presented in their offices, the largest category of concerns are those centering around levels of sexual desire. They would also agree that these cases are the most difficult to understand and the hardest to treat. But, lets begin at the beginning and try to understand what sexual desire is and where it comes from.

Sexual Desire Defined

Sexual desire is the internal motivator that signals the biological hunger for arousal and orgasm. In the past it has been called "libido," and t

Types of Sexual Arousal

 Types of Sexual Arousal

There are essentially three types of arousal. First, there is that spontaneous arousal that is closely intertwined with desire and springs up without provocation. The horniness suddenly emerges, closely followed by the physical manifestations of arousal (men get firm, women get wet). This spontaneous arousal is most likely the result of a biological cycle driven by the personэs hormonal system, and the most obvious example are the spontaneous erections of the adolescent boy which occur with no external or mental stimulation. The desire and arousal just appear.

Antiretroviral therapy

Mon,07 May 2012


Researchers have found that treating HIV-infected persons with antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces HIV transmission to their sexual partners by more than 90 percent. The study is published this week in the Lancet. "These results are an important finding in the search for effective HIV prevention strategies and the strongest evidence to date that ART might decrease HIV transmission risk," said Dr. Connie Celum, professor of medicine and global health at the University of Washington and the senior author of the paper.

The findings were part of t

HIV-infected individuals

Sat,05 May 2012


Despite growing evidence that the earlier people are diagnosed with HIV and get access to care, the better their clinical outcomes, many HIV-infected people in the United States and Canada are not receiving the care they need early enough. A study of nearly 45,000 patients in both countries highlighting this trendю Researchers analyzed patients' CD4 cell counts, a critical measure of immune system strength, when these patients first began clinical care for HIV from 1997 to 2007. Although the median CD4 count at first presentation increased annually over this period,

Male Sexual Function

Thu,03 May 2012



Increasing Bisphenol-A levels in urine are associated with worsening male sexual function, according to a Kaiser Permanente study appearing online in the Journal of Andrology.

Increasing urine BPA level is associated with decreased sexual desire, more difficulty having an erection, lower ejaculation strength and lower level of overall satisfaction with sex life, researchers said. The five-year study examined 427 workers in factories in China, comparing workers in BPA manufacturing facilities with a control group of workers in factories where no BPA was present.<

HIV-positive mothers

Tue,01 May 2012

A correlation has been discovered between specific variants of the gene that codes for a key immune system protein, TLR9, and the risk of mother-to-child, or vertical, transmission of HIV.

Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access Journal of Translational Medicine studied 3 hundred children born to HIV-positive mothers, finding that those who had either of two TLR9 gene variants were significantly more likely to acquire the virus.

Anita De Rossi from the University of Padova, Italy, worked with a team of researchers to carry out the
