This Issue's Sex Joke

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose, still heavily sedated from a difficult, four-hour, surgical procedure. A young, student nurse appears to give him a partial sponge bath.

"Nurse", he mumbles, from behind the mask. "Are my testicles black?" Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet. He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, are my testicles black?"

Concerned that he may elevate his vitals from worry about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and sheepishly pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his penis in one hand and his testicles in the other. Then, she takes a close look and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir!"

The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly, "Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but, listen very, very closely...
A r e - m y - t e s t s - r e s u l t s - b a c k?"

Vaginal Dryness
         Why It Happens, What To Do

Many women also experience changes in their vagina. With arousal, the vagina may tilt upwards and become longer. It may also become wet with a "sweating" of the vaginal walls. This is not female ejaculation which comes from the Skenes Glans is similar to prostate fluid in a male. This lubrication of a woman's genitals is caused by the release of a special fluid from the "vaginal epithelium" (the walls of the vagina). This fluid is not like the sweat of your skin, but is what scientists call a "modified plasma transudate."

In general, the release of this fluid serves by making vaginal and vulva play more comfortable during sexual play. It also aids in the movement of sperm up the vaginal canal, increasing the likelihood of impregnation.

Many people take this "sweating" of the vagina as a reliable sign that a woman is sexually excited, or even that she is "ready" for vaginal play or intercourse. Beware of such assumptions! Women sometimes lubricate vaginally when they are not sexually aroused, and women often feel erotically aroused without becoming vaginally wet.

Excess lubrication, even though some women feel almost embarrassed by it, can easily be solved by use of an absorbent external panty-liner. Dryness is another common problem, and is easily addressed.

Some women simply do not lubricate so plentifully, or at least not plentifully enough to keep pace with their sexual wishes. While some women become dry when anxious or under stress. Many women become drier with the frequent use of tampons, other internal sanitary devices, or douches. And most women will become drier with the use of prescription medications that have anticholinergic or sympathomimetic effects which dry out the "mucosal" or wet tissues of the mouth and vagina. These include many common drugs for allergic, cardiovascular, psychiatric, and other medical conditions. You can always ask your physician before getting a prescription or pharmacist after getting one as the what effects, if any, will this medicine have on your sex life.

All women become drier as they approach and proceed through menopause. This is because menopause causes a thinning of the vaginal walls (from about nine epithelial layers to about three), with a consequent loss of their elasticity and their capacity to produce fluid.

The solution to all these difficulties is to use artificial lubricants for sexual play. Many brands are available in the "Feminine Hygiene" or "Family Planning" sections of your local drug stores including our own selection of lubricants. Be careful of using K-Y Plus types of lubricants that contain Nonoxynol and might irritate your vagina. Astroglide is a favorite. This is an all water-soluble lubricant with glycerin giving it slippery properties. Such lubricants are usually odorless, tasteless, and sterile. They may also be hypoallergenic.

When finding a "lube" that suits your erotic life, there are three rules:

One
Always use a water-soluble lube. Never put a petroleum-based lubricant, such as Vaseline, into your vagina. Petroleum-based jellies are likely to increase your vulnerability to infections, and they will corrode the latex used for condoms and other safer sex practices.

Two
Beware of confusions between moisturizers, anti-irritants, and drying powders. Vagisil, for example, markets all three under the same brand name. Anti-irritant creams (usually containing 5% to 20% benzocaine) numb the skin and are sometimes useful externally on the vulval tissue, but should never be applied inside the vagina. "Feminine powders" and talcs are sometimes used to absorb unwanted wetness of the vulval area, and should also never be applied inside the vagina. Moisturizers are lubes applied either directly inside the vagina, or delivered by a vaginal suppository (such as Lubrin and other brands).

Three
Remember that, unless the label of your lube states otherwise, it is not a spermicidal (contraceptive), anti-viral, antibacterial or estrogen-supplementing agent. If you want an estrogen supplement or cream, you should consult a clinical sexologist or a knowledgeable physician. If you want your lubricant to do double duty and provide protection against sexually transmitted infections, buy one that contains Nonoxynol. However, Nonoxynol can be irritating to the delicate tissue of the vagina, increasing the receptivity of the vaginal walls to infection; so if a Nonoxynol lube is going to come into direct contact with the vagina, a counter-irritant such as Avena Sativa should be used as well.

In addition to using artificial lubricants, keeping healthy the musculature of your pelvic floor will increase the blood supply to your vaginal canal and will help with dryness as well as giving you an increased sense of comfortable control over your genitals. Start doing "Kegel" exercises. Find the relevant group of muscles by stopping and starting the flow of your urine (while seated on the toilet). Then, with an empty bladder, squeeze these muscles tight and hold them for a count of three. Repeat this until they feel tired (initially you may only be able to squeeze these muscles a couple of times before they feel tired, later you should be able to gradually work up to twenty repetitions). Do "kegels" twice a day, every day if possible. Within a few weeks you will feel that they have improved your sexual life.

Sooner or later every sexually active woman who enjoys vaginal or vulval play will have a problem with dryness. Combat dryness by becoming accustomed to using your lube regularly and plentifully. Start young, before menopause is an issue. And don't be embarrassed with your partners because, when used properly, lubes will enhance sexual pleasure for you and for them. Lubricants make for a more relaxed erotic life whether your favorite form of vaginal play is with a finger, a sex toy, or a penis.

Masturbate-a-thon In England

August 2006

In England, hundreds of people attended a Masturbate-a-thon that was sponsored by Marie Stopes International, an HIV/ AIDS. They said that this was a way to get people talking about safer sex, masturbation and to lift taboos.

Participants had to be over 18, and could bring any sexual aids they needed. There can be no touching of other participants nor are people allowed to fake orgasms. The amount of money a participant raises will be determined by how many minutes they masturbate and/or how many orgasms you achieve.

Local religious groups had been initially outraged, but after people had heard what the event was about, most had approved it. Police have also given their approval.

Similar events have been staged in San Francisco for the last six years raising $25,000 for women's health initiatives and HIV prevention.

Scottish Sex Scandal

August 2006

Scottish politician Tommy Sheridan is a 42-year-old socialist member of the Scottish parliament. A newspaper has claimed that Sheridan cheated on his wife and went to night clubs for group sex. Sheridan denies the claims and is seeking damages.

Fiona McGuire is a 32-year-old former prostitute who said she had sex with Sheridan over four years, starting shortly after the politician's marriage to childhood sweetheart Gail in 2000.

Sheridan called his wife Gail Sheridan, 42, as a witness who defended her husband and said she would have killed him and dumped his body in Glasgow's river Clyde if she believed the allegations. "You would be in the Clyde with a piece of concrete tied round you and I would be in court for your murder," she said.

If Sheridan wins, the News of the World will face a libel bill of several hundred thousand pounds. If he loses, he faces financial ruin and the destruction of his reputation.

August 2006

Robert Johnson, the former publisher of Newsday and a New York State Regent, entered a guilty plea Friday to charges that he possessed child pornography and destroyed computer records that were the subject of a federal investigation.

Johnson knowingly possessed sexually explicit photographs of children and obtained the illegal images by purchasing membership rights to websites that sold child pornography.

After learning of the inquiries, the indictment said, Johnson used a computer program called "Evidence Eliminator" to destroy and obliterate more than 12,000 files from his hard disc drive. Johnson faces a maximum 10 year prison sentence on the charge of possession of child pornography and a maximum of 20 years on the charge of destruction of documents in connection with a federal investigation.
