HIV - AIDS occupies more and higher space in the minds of people and unreasonably more bank balance in the hands of NGOs and Government alike. This is unfair. What about the other Sexually Transmitted Infections STI, which were deadly fruits of sin a generation ago and are still as much devastating? No one will like to have other STI, which go with HIV.

You will find ahead a brief sketch (easy to understand) about the other sexually transmitted diseases/infections called as STI, which are today not as glamorous as HIV.



Sexually transmitted diseases, STDs for short (same as STIs), are "infections transmitted from one person to another during intercourse or other intimate contacts." AIDS is the over hyped disease among the nasty gang, but AIDS is not the only one. There are others too. Have you heard of Genital herpes, Genital warts, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Chlamydia and Hepatitis-B?
Sexually Transmitted DiseasesSTD
- Chlamydia
- Gonorrhea
- Genital Herpes
- Genital Warts

- Taking precautions
AIDS
AIDS is caused by a virus now called the HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). Three strains have been confirmed, HIV-I, HIV-II, HIV-III. Viruses basically are extremely small (20 - 300 nanometers) parasites, which multiply inside the cells of human beings who act as their hosts.

SEX & PROSPERITY

How is the sex life of the filthy rich people?
Presenting an interesting study report










Ever wondered how your life would change
if you suddenly became obscenely rich?

For one, you'd have a better sex. That's the
finding of a new report by market research
and consulting company Prince & Associates, and
private wealth expert Hannah Grove,
Forbes.com reported on its website on Monday.

The survey conducted last year looked at
the sexual views, behavior experiences
of about 600 men and women, most of whom were
married, an average age of 57 and with a
net worth of $89 million.
The findings showed the

Presenting the sexual views, behavior, sexual experiences of about
600 men and women, most of whom were
married, an average age
of 57 and with a
net worth of $89 million

majority, 63% of men and
84% of women, credited their wealth with helping them achieve a better sex life. In addition,
43% of men and
80% of women said they believe their money has let them lead more daring and exciting sex lives.

One-third of men and 72% of women are members of the mile-high club, having had sex while in flight; all had access to a private jet.

54% of men and
72% of women reported having had an extramarital affair.

"Part of having a better sex life is related to being able to surround yourself with people to help you do things in a professional capacity at office as well as at home with nannies and butlers," says Hannah Grove. "They take some of the stress and less glamorous things off your plate and free you up to do things you find personally fulfilling," Forbes quoted her as saying.

Patti Britton, a sexologist and author of The Art of Sex Coaching, says the findings aren't surprising because the respondents' extreme wealth means less
struggling to feed and house themselves and more downtime and luxuries, such as spa weekends and lavish vacations the perfect backdrop, some argue, for a robust sex life.

The web site quoted Britton, president of the American Association of Sexuality Educators Counsellors and Therapists, as saying
"Maybe money takes away the suffering and dependency on time for making a living and let's one live a life with pleasure,"

More money doesn't always equal bedroom fireworks.
Barnaby Barratt, a Santa Barbara-based sex therapist says.
Barratt says some studies have shown that people in upper-income brackets, earning more along the lines of $100,000 to $1 million a year, have
high-stress. Example professionals like stock brokers, attorneys, physicians.

A separate study done at
the Mumbai based Samadhan Center for Therapy, Education and Research in
Sexual Health, Marriage and Relationships indicates that similar principle holds true for 'creativity' and 'work efficiency' measured in terms of new inventions and discoveries.

Whether it is Pulitzer award winner or corporate honchos like Arun Sarin and Indra Nooyi, Dr. Ashok Koparday points out, "You will consistently observe that world acclaimed achievers are by default residents of affluent countries. Indian born people who are staying in North America or Europe do not have to spend their lives toiling for house, saving for daughter's marriage, child's tuitions and higher studies or medical expenses.

Besides affluence Dr. Koparday's study brings into focus another important parameter, the climate and cleanliness, which bring sense of overall well being in the residents of affluent countries. Even if a person does not work, the sultry heat in a country like India and the atmospheric dust, noise and other pollutants trigger sense of fatigue in the human biosystem.

medicine-to-increase-sex-desire-in-women

Ever since Viagra© came in the market for men an
equivalent for women is being longingly awaited. Pharmaceutical Company, BioSante's chief executive, Stephen M. Simes is reported to have said, "It's not fair that women have no drugs, while men have many."
Here is a news from the Associated Press.

Before you read through let me point out that this drug is nothing else but 'testosterone' for women. It is true that testosterone increases libido in women. However, it is in no way similar or path breaking as Viagra ©.
Tue Jan 1, 5:54 PM ET
A drug that could do for women what Viagra has done for men is being tested at the University of Virginia. The drug is a testosterone-laden ointment called LibiGel and it's intended to boost the libido of women who have lost interest in sex. It will be prescribed at UVa in coming months to women who are suffering from hypoactive sexual desire disorder.

TESTOSTERONE IS USED TO INCREASE SEXUAL DESIRE IN WOMEN
Lost or low (Hypoactive) sexual desire disorder affects ONE-THIRD OF AMERICAN WOMEN.

The condition is believed to affect one-third of American women.
"It is the most common sexual problem that women have," said Dr. Anita Clayton, a psychiatrist with the UVa Health System and author of the 2007 book "Satisfaction: Women, Sex and the Quest for Intimacy."
UVa joins 99 other medical institutions participating in testing the drug's efficacy and safety.
If given the green light by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Illinois-based BioSante Pharmaceuticals Inc. hopes to offer the drug to any woman complaining of a low sex drive.
For now, though, Clayton will enroll 25 women between the ages of 30 and 65 to take part in the national study.
Those women must have had both ovaries surgically removed, be currently taking an estrogen supplement and be distressed about their lack of libido.
Ovariectomies, or surgical menopause, can lead to a drop in sexual interest because ovaries produce roughly half of the testosterone in a woman's body.
Testosterone plays a key role in sexual functioning for men and women.
LibiGel comes in a pump bottle. The woman rubs the small dot of gel into the skin of her upper arm. Over the next 24 hours, the gel's testosterone seeps into her bloodstream, boosting her energy and libido.

Clayton, who is running the clinical trial at UVa, said the drug is better than previous testosterone treatments because it keeps levels of the chemical constant, much like naturally occurring testosterone.

"I expect this will work," she said.
In its second-phase clinical trials at 17 institutions, LibiGel led to a 283 percent increase of satisfying sexual encounters for the women taking the drug.
"A lot of women have this problem, but unfortunately they've been largely ignored by pharmaceutical companies," said BioSante's chief executive, Stephen M. Simes. "It's not fair that women have no drugs, while men have many."

MAJORITY OF PEOPLE TODAY
BELIEVE [WRONGLY] THAT
MASTURBATION OR WET DREAMS IS HARMFUL.


BOYS

AROUSAL - ERECTION - MASTURBATION -
WET DREAMS - ORGASM = ALL ARE NORMAL
For the first time strong sexual feelings begin in the boy.

KNOWLEDGE ALONE IS THE MEDICINE FOR WIDELY PREVALENT
MISCONCEPTION ABOUT MASTURBATION AND WET DREAMS.


Erections occur on slightest arousal and can be embarrassing for the boy.
Boys often start masturbating around this time, as they explore new sexual experiences. If they don't masturbate they may still experience ejaculation during their sleep called as 'wet dream' or 'nightfall' or 'swapna dosh' or 'nocturnal discharge' or 'night dreams'. This is a normal phenomenon. Most boys have orgasms during masturbation before they have had any sexual intercourse.
Why does night fall occur? What to do about it?
Puberty begins between 8 - 13 years in girls and 9 - 13 years in boys. [2 years late in developing countries.]

When a boy matures to become an adult nature makes him capable of reproduction.
The testicles start manufacturing sperms. Mixed with seminal fluid from the seminal vesicles semen is formed. Semen is meant to be discharged out of the body the way urine or stools are meant to be discharged.

The best well wishers of a boy are his parents
who are not aware of this silent suffering.
Hence, allowing to read websites as this one,
or taking a print out and giving it to your son
is the best gift that a parent can give to the child.
Dr. Ashok Koparday

There are only three ways in which semen can come out. Through sexual intercourse, through masturbation or through wet dreams [nightfall/swapna dosh]. Whether you like it or not semen is going to be discharged. Masturbation is the safest and most pleasant way for relief of pent up sexual feelings at all ages. It has health benefits, too. It is to be remembered beyond all doubts that in no way is masturbation or nightfall/wet dreams harmful. It is a natures mechanism of releasing semen, which is being produced incessantly. Even if the person becomes 70 years of age (till he dies) semen production continues and he is capable of producing children. Semen does not contain energy rich material. The idea that semen should be treasured or used sparingly is ridiculous and has no spiritual/religious (scriptural) or medical basis. Masturbation is bad practice, loss of semen is harmful are the most common highly prevalent misconceptions existing in people today. This misconception causes mental distress and harm to individual, which a parent is not aware of because sexual matters are kept private. They are discussed by friends who themselves carry the myth and hence make matters worse. This situation is exploited by quacks who further frighten them by telling how seriously damaging it is and offer expensive medicines (sometimes toxic)to stop masturbation or nightfall.

The best well wishers of a boy are his parents who are not aware of this silent suffering. Hence allowing to read websites as this one, or taking a print out and giving it to your son is the best gift that a parent can give to the child.

changes-in-teenagers-4-age

Puberty starts between
age of 8 - 13 years in girls
and 9 to 13 years in boys.
In 1890, most girls had their first period at 15. Nowadays girls start their periods around the age of 13, but the age varies. In developing countries it starts about 2 years later than the age mentioned above.

Testosterone triggers cells all over the body to grow. The skeleton grows in much the same way as in girls, with the arms and legs growing ahead of the torso. But the bones become much denser and heavier than in girls. The final phase of skeletal growth in boys is a broadening of the chest and shoulders. This generally finishes in boys around the age of 20.

Testosterone triggers cells all over the body to grow.

Boys' muscles go through a phase of rapid development which girls miss out on. Our muscles are made up of fibres. At puberty in boys, these fibres don't increase in number, but the length and width of existing muscle fibres increases.

Testosterone increases the amount of hemoglobin carried in red blood cells. Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying red pigment in red blood cells. Higher levels of hemoglobin enable red blood cells to deliver more oxygen to muscles. This oxygen is used to create energy for muscles to exercise. As a result, teenage boys become fitter and stronger than they have ever been before.

When testosterone levels start to surge inside a boy's body, other things also begin to grow. Teenage boys grow taller and stronger

In four years, the average teenage boy will grow

• foot taller,
• put on a stone of muscle,
• drop an octave in the pitch of his voice and
• develop 40% more heart muscle
• testosterone increases ten folds
• adult men are on an average 13 cm taller than women

Late developers?
Boys start growing later than girls, but they are not entering puberty later. Rather, their growth spurt comes at the end of puberty, not the beginning. This delay gives boys the advantage of an extra two years of normal childhood growth before their final growth spurt. This is one of the reasons why adult men are on average 13cm taller than women.

Another reason for their height is that boys grow faster than girls at their peak rate. They grow faster because they have higher levels of testosterone in their bloodstream than girls. The testicles release more and more testosterone into the blood stream as they mature. During puberty an average boy's production of testosterone will increase tenfold.

changes-in-teenagers-3-erection

Erections can occur quite unconsciously in teenage boys - sometimes at quite inconvenient and embarrassing times. Boys often start masturbating at this time. Even if they do not masturbate ejaculation occurs during sleep called as wet dream/nightfall/nocturnal discharge/swapna dosh. Masturbation as well as wet dreams are normal and are in no way harmful.


Also known as 'hard-ons' and 'stiffies', tatharta, kadakpana, tightnessboys will begin to experience erections as soon as they start to mature sexually.

It can occur at quite a young age and even happens in some infants, although for different reasons. This functional, yet sometimes embarrassing, experience heralds the start of a boy's life as a fertile adult.
Mechanism of Erection
Erections are caused when blood flows to the penis. It builds up inside it causing pressure. Inside the penis are cavernous spaces that fill up with blood and cause swelling. The swelling, caused by this extra blood, blocks off the veins that normally take blood away from the penis.

When this happens, the blood pressure inside the penis rises dramatically and it enlarges and stiffens, pointing upwards. As an erection disappears, the arteries in the penis narrow again. Then the veins open, removing the blood again and the flow returns to normal.

Once the testicles begin to grow they also develop their adult function - producing sperm.

Millions of sperm - maybe 120 million are created in a day.
Sperms in between 200 and 400 million in number are present in a single ejaculation of semen. The watery fluid that carries sperms is called semen.
The semen or the sperms do not have energy and loss of semen does not cause weakness.
Dr. Ashok Koparday

Sperms are produced in tubes called 'seminiferous tubules'. These are connected to the base of the penis by a single tube called the 'epididymis'. Ejaculation occurs when sperm are forced out of the testes, along the epididymis, and out of the end of the penis.
Note
Although boobs are the subject of many a boy's fantasy, many boys begin to develop breasts of their own during their teenage years. One need not get alarmed by it as this subsides.

The first external sign of puberty in boys is
testes begin to grow bigger.


I remember a joke:
The intern asked the matron,
"In which part do women have curly hair?"
The matron was incensed by such a
lurid question and decided that my friend
who asked the question) deserved to be
punished for talking vulgar things with
the nurses.


She took him to the Dean of the
Medical College. She too was red with anger when told
of the obscene talk.
My friend was undeterred. He asked again,
"Maam, what is my fault?
I asked a general knowledge question.
In which part do women have curly hair?"
When the Dean and the Matron stared with rage, he replied, I thought you ought to be knowing this, "Women in Africa have curly hair."
Pubic hair appears and the penis begins to enlarge.
Over the next 2 to 3 years the penis, testicles,
scrotum continue to enlarge. The pubic hair
becomes coarse, curly, and dark.
Boys get erections as soon as the puberty
begins.
Blood flows in the erectile tissue of
penis making the penis hard and erect.
In the very center of her brain, a structure the size of a grape lights up. It sends out a pulse of hormone. By morning, the hormone pulse has stopped. The same thing happens again the following night, only this time the pulse is slightly stronger and lasts longer. This continues until eventually the hormone is being released at all times of day and night.
The trigger for puberty in both boys and girls is the production of 'gonadotrophin releasing hormone' (GnRH) from a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. This hormone stimulates the pituitary gland to release two hormones, Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). These hormones travel through the blood to the testicles and ovaries and switch on the development procedure which will lead to sexual maturity.

Teenage Begins in the Brain


For Parents of Teenagers.
Changes begin with the signals passed by the
BRAIN
The hypothalamus in the brain stimulates the pituitary gland
by secreting the gonadotrophin releasing hormone.
Due to this the pituitary gland, the Queen of all hormone producing glands, starts releasing follicle stimulating hormone [FSH] and leutinizing hormone [LH].
Asian Indians like to call the hypothalamus 'The Third Eye' of Lord Shiv.


The hypothalamus is located close to the pitutary gland.It has astounding powers, one of them being influencing body processes that occur as a result of changes in brain. These brain impulses get transmitted through the hypothalamus to body's autonomic and peripheral nervous system as well as other endocrine glands. The immune system, the nervous system and the endocrine [Hormone]system though different by name are closely interconnected and influence one another.

When the follicle stimulating hormone [FSH] and leutinizing hormone [LH] arrive at the boys testis they induce production of the
Sex Hormone testosterone, which runs to all the parts of the body bringing about changes that we know as puberty.

Self-Image

Masks
We wear masks.
On the internet too, we wear mask and project an image. Do you want to know how you are creating your self image on the internet?


Web of deceit: Putting your best cyberface forward
Contributed by
Stephanie Rosenbloom


Do you bite your nails? Have you pierced your tongue? Is your tote bag emblazoned with the words “I’m not a plastic bag”?
People look and act the way they do for reasons too numerous to fit into any therapist’s notebook. Yet we commonly shape our behavior or tweak our appearance in an attempt to control how others perceive us.
Some call it common sense. Social scientists call it “impression management” and attribute much of their understanding of the process to the sociologist Erving Goffman, who in a 1959 book, ‘The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life’, likened human interactions to a theatrical performance. Now that first impressions are often made in cyberspace, not face-toface, people are not only strategizing about how to virtually convey who they are, but also grappling with how to craft an e-version of themselves that appeals to multiple audiences — co-workers, fraternity brothers, mom and dad.
“Which image do you present?”

asked Mark R Leary, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke, who has been studying impression management in the real world for more than 20 years. Like other scholars, he is now examining the online world through the lens of impression management — studies that sometimes put an academic gloss on insights that seem obvious, and at other times yield surprising results.
“We’ve been struck by the dilemma people are in,” Leary said of a study he began last month about how people edit their online personas. “Some people seem to pick an audience. Other people pick and choose the best parts of themselves. As a professor, my page on a social networking site is just watered down. I can’t have pictures of me playing beer pong.”
People, of course, have been electronically styling themselves for as long as there has been a web to surf. But scholars say the mainstreaming of massive social networking and dating sites — which make it easy to publicly share one’s likes, dislikes, dreams and losses in a modern mutation of the Proust Questionnaire — is prompting more people to “perform” for one another in increasingly sophisticated ways.
Indeed, today’s social networking and dating sites are “like impression management on steroids” said Joseph B Walther, a professor of communication and telecommunication at Michigan State University. But because they are still new forms of communication, “people don’t have a very strong sense yet of what they’re doing or what the best practices
are,” he said.
Among Walther’s findings is that the attractiveness of the friends on your online profile affects the way people perceive you. In a study to be published this year in Human Communication Research, a journal, Walther and colleagues found that networking site users who had public postings on their wall from attractive friends were considered to be significantly better looking than people who had postings from unattractive friends.
“We disproved the Paris Hilton hypothesis,” said Walther, explaining that this traces to a quote attributed to Hilton: “All you have to do in life is go out with your friends, party hard and look twice as good” as the woman next to you. “That’s not true,” Walther said.
Many of the self-presentation strategies observed by scholars are: improving one’s standing by linking to high status friends; using a screen name like “Batman” or “007” when in reality one is more like Austin Powers; referring to one’s gleaming head as “shaved” not “bald”; using cutesy emoticons to charm the demographic that forwards inspirational chain mail; demonstrating leadership by being the first to adopt and turn others onto the latest online applications; listing one’s career as a DJ or model rather than the one that pays the bills; making calculated decisions about what to list as favorite books.
“If someone lists some obscure Romanian title, is that person really smart or are they pretentious?” said Judith Donath, an associate professor of media arts and sciences at the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
