A man walks into a drugstore and asks the
pharmacist for a pack of condoms. Paying for them, he bursts into
laughter and walks out of the store.
The
next day he comes in again, again buys condoms, and again walks
out laughing. Thinking this is somewhat strange, the pharmacist
asks his assistant to follow the man if he comes back.
Sure
enough, the man comes in the next day and walks out laughing.
This time the assistant goes after him, returning 20 minutes later.
"So
did you follow him?" asks the pharmacist.
"Yup."
"Where
did he go?"
"Your
house."

With
A Look At The Best
Anal Sex Toys
Anal
sexual activity can be pleasurable, fun and very stimulating
solo or for partners. Some of the biggest concerns
seem to be about pleasure, pain, hygiene, and STDs.
These are all important when examining anal sexual
stimulation from penetration, to outer stimulation
(also known as rimming).

Below
are some helpful tips that should provide you with the information
you need as well as products to aid you in achieving your
anal play goals with anal sex toy recommendations as well
as anal sex videos as well.
Anal
SexHygiene
Having
unprotected anal sex is a good way to contract the HIV/AIDS
virus. Before any type of anal sex activity, it is important
that you protect yourself and your partner. Make sure to
discuss with your partner(s) the best way to ensure your
health.
Bowel
Movements
It's a good idea to have a bowel movement at least an hour
before anal sex (if possible). This decreases bacterial
contamination as well as messes that may not be desirable.
Cleaning
Your Anus
Try to clean your anus thoroughly with hot, soapy water
before any anal activities. A great alternative are baby
wipes, in fact, a strippers technique, many people use them
instead of toilet paper for clean up after any bowel movement.
An anal enema is a surge of distilled, clean water
into the anus which cleanses the area. Please Note-
enemas do NOT eliminate ALL bacteria and germs from
the anus ). They are easy to do, very inexpensive
($1.30 U.S.), and found at your local grocery store.
There
are of course some people who find anal enemas sexually
stimulating in addition to the mere cleansing aspect.
It is a good idea to allow at least an hour before
anal sex for the anal enema to have full effect. You
may want to note that it is not healthy to perform
frequent anal enemas as this can put stress on the
anus.
Bacteria
The entire anal region has a variety of bacteria inside
and just outside it. You will want to be careful to avoid
getting that bacteria into other orifices of your body to
prevent infection. When you choose to give someone a "Rim
Job" or lick their anus you may risk getting sick from
bacteria present. You may want to use a finger or toy with
lubricant for a similar effect without the risk.
Oral
Anal Sex
Also
known as "Analingus," it is the act of licking
or inserting the tongue into the anus to provide pleasure.
Both men and women enjoy analingus and you can use some
of the same techniques on each. Positioning where the receiver's
butt cheeks are naturally spread such as kneeling on all
fours (doggie style) with their legs spread apart, or on
their back with their legs up in the air (again, legs spread
apart) makes the anus easier to access.
It's
not a good idea to perform oral sex or kiss after analingus,
as bacteria from the anus can wreak havoc on other parts
of the body. Make sure to clean your mouth thoroughly afterward
by brushing your teeth and tongue and using Listerine.
When
It Hurts- Don't
Anal
sex should done in a manner that allows both partners to
enjoy it. Start slowly, use a lot of lubricant and do not
use desensitizers like Anal Eze
so that you do not feel pain. It is important to listen
to your body and using them is not only ignoring the warning
signals that your body is sending, but there are health
risks with the main ingredient in the desensitizers- benzocaine.
Desensitizers
can contain numbing drugs that can include lidocaine, tetracaine,
benzocaine and prilocaine. The FDA said consumers should
be cautious about using them without medical supervision.
Leaving the creams on the skin for long periods of time
or on large portions of their bodies can increase the risk,
officials have said. Small children and people with heart
or severe liver disease are also at higher risk.
Important
Information On Benzocaine Found In Most Sexual Desensitizers
Overuse of skin-numbing creams can cause irregular heartbeats
and even death.
Creams and lotions often used in conjunction with cosmetic
procedures.
Used in large amounts can cause a lethal dose of chemicals
to enter bloodstream.
Numbing
creams and lotions, available both by prescription and over
the counter, are approved to soothe burning or itching skin
as well as pain and to decrease sensation.
Using
Condoms For Anal Sex
Due to the risk of STD's,
including HIV/AIDS, condoms
have become an essential part of careful anal sex.
It is also good for monogamous couples because the
bacteria from the anus can get inside the urethra
of the man's penis (pee hole) and cause a ( UTI )
Urinary Tract Infection.
When
using condoms make sure to use water
based lubricants with latex condoms - an oil
based lube will destroy the condom.
When
First Using An Anal Sex Toy
For
first time users of anal sex toys, it is important
to remember that using any kind of flexible jelly
type toys may be hard to insert as you may be tensing
and inadvertently keeping your sphincter muscle tight
and closed, not allowing the toy to enter.
You
may also want to avoid using a toy that is overly
hard as you need to get used to what this feels like
and because of inexperience you may cause damage.
Therefore
using something like a Silicone
Dildo is a good toy to start with as it is
soft, yet firm enough for entry. It also has a great
handle for easy maneuvering.
Preparation
For Anal Sex
To
prepare for anal sex, the first thing the receiver
needs to do is relax. Pain will most certainly occur
is the receiver is tense and clenching their sphincter
muscles.
A
hot bath or massage are great beforehand and as things
progress you will want to play with the anal rim first
and then slowly penetrate with ample lubricant.
To prevent psychological inhibitors, make sure to
discuss limits, expectations and techniques of your
anal experience before you begin so that the receiver
is confident that they are not going to be painfully
surprised by something.
Preventing
Anal Trauma
The
anal canal is a very sensitive area, especially the
deeper you go. Sharp objects, friction and certain
materials may cause cuts, pain and or allergic reaction
to the entire region. Be very careful about staying
within your limits and test for allergies such as
to latex, etc.
Fingering
the Anus
Before
fingering the anus, make sure your fingernails are
trimmed and you have the proper lubrication.
Rimming
Probably
the easiest anal sex technique and a great way to
introduce someone to anal sex. Start on the outside
and slowly work your way in.
Use
one finger to gently circle the outer rim of the anus.
Lubrication heightens pleasure and makes entry later
easier.
Ringing
the Bell
Take
one finger and push on the anus without penetrating
it, as though you were ringing a doorbell. Hold each
push down for a second or two before releasing. You
can vary the speed and pressure to make more interesting.
Thrusting
This
is when lubrication is essential. Start slowly inserting
a little bit at a time into the anus while moving
in and out. Once far enough in you can build speed
and pressure.
Multiple
Fingers
Once
a beginner is comfortable, you can begin to add more intensity
if you desire. Adding fingers as well as pushing against
the walls while inside will add intensity. Some people even
go as far as anal fisting.
This is only for those that are well educated in fisting
and take precautions as it is a highly risky activity for
infection, permanent damage and trauma.
Anal
Love For Men
While
performing oral sex on a man it is often found to be highly
erotic to stimulate the perineum (the area between the base
of the balls and the anus).
Work
your way down to the anus and begin circling the outer rim
of the anus. If all goes well, slowly insert your finger
up to your first knuckle. Keep a close eye on your partner
to make sure he's enjoying it. Proceed slowly.
Depending
on the man, you may only be able to get one knuckle deep
before he's uncomfortable, or you may find that he enjoys
an entire finger (or two - or three).
During
orgasm in a man, the perineum and the anus become highly
charged orgasmic centers of pleasure.
Each
man is different, but if you locate his (sweet spot- prostate)
you can give him intense orgasms.
Another
technique is to use anal beads and pull them out at the
moment of climax.
Prostate
Massage
Traditionally,
doctors would massage their patients' prostates regularly
to cure or prevent disease. Now, however, most doctors only
check the prostate, and if they find a problem prefer to
cut it out or prescribe medication.
You
can do it yourself or have your partner do it for
you. Try this practice and discover its health benefits.
When you do it yourself, you can be very gentle and
make the treatment pleasurable as well as efficacious.
The
prostate is analogous to the G spot in women which
is shown to the right. The prostate can be massaged
by inserting a finger (toy, dildo etc.) a minimum
of three inches into your anus and stroking toward
the front of your body through the walls of your rectum.
The
technique of prostate massage actually involves two (three)
organs of the male reproductive system: the prostate gland,
the seminal vesicles, and the ampulla, which is the reservoir
which actually holds the male sperm just prior to ejaculation.
The
prostate gland when engorged can be felt by pressing a finger
into the middle of the perineum (in back of the scrotum).
It is a rounded lump about the size of a large marble. It
can also be accessed via the rectum, where it can again
be felt as a rounded lump toward the front of the body and
just about an index finger's length inside the rectum.
A
better way to find it from the rectum is to insert the middle
finger, and slide it from just inside the rectum (on the
front side) up and in until you feel it move over a lump.
That will be the prostate.
During
sexual arousal, sperm and ejaculatory fluid accumulate in
these glands backing up behind valves in the ejaculatory
ducts. When fluid pressure reaches a high enough threshold,
the valves open and the urethral bulb fills, triggering
the ejaculatory reflex and muscular contractions of orgasm,
which empties the glands.
You can massage your prostate by simply inserting your finger
or toy into the anus and reaching back and up towards the
navel until you feel the prostate gland. Use natural-content
personal lubricant of the type specific to this purpose
to facilitate insertion of the finger, and gently rub back
and forth on the prostate using as much pressure as you
can without causing pain.
Tantric
Teacher Speaks About Prostate Massage
"We
don't all start out as super tight-assed guys. But strong
injunctions against making a mess after toilet training takes
hold start us out clamping our back doors shut. Plus insensitive
rectal exams and the modern war against rectal and prostate
cancer doesn't help our relaxing into the pleasure produced
by the huge density of nerve endings there.
By
the way, surveys prove that over half of heterosexual men
experiment with anal play. So if you're seriously considering
it... it doesn't mean you're gay. If you'll pardon the tasteless
metaphor, prostate play is an acquired taste. Most guys
only enjoy it after repeated practice. That was certainly
true for me. At first, I was tight, tense, and clamped rigidly
shut. In fact, at times it was downright painful.
Because
it focuses on pleasure as a divine imperative, Tantra was
the perfect vehicle for me to welcome male G-Spot Orgasm.
Under my guidance, my beloved learned to warm me up, lube
me up, and enter me oh so gently. Even so, she initially
contacted hot spots, ultra sensitive areas that needed to
be healed with repeated exercise coupled with Tantric energy
breathing. Stage by stage I got to the point where I could
relax my sphincter almost at will.
Did
you know there are two ring-like muscles that guard your
anus, one under your control and one normally ruled by the
involuntary nervous system? Developing the ability to relax
and open both at will was a big step for me in welcoming
G-Spot pleasure. Gradually I could feel new and unique sensations
from the strokes on my prostate gland. Our Tantra training
in the mid 1990s taught us to engage in penis and G-Spot
massage as part of a multiple orgasm program."
Prostate
Massagers
Specialty
toys for prostate massage are becoming more popular.
The Aneros (not shown) received poor reviews from
our customers and it was considered overpriced and
difficult to use. It typically sells for $40.00- $50.00.
We have a better alternatives shown above.
We
have also received poor reviews about the The Eroscillator,
endorsed by Dr. Ruth shown to the left. At $100 -
$160 we figure it better rock your world. It's heavy
and is cord operated which limits you; the attachments
are hard plastic and actually painful according to
some of our web site visitors.
We
recommend using a slim g-spot stimulator which is
less expensive, is just as effective and vibrates.
What
you need for fun on the back end of anal love!
Sexual
intensity is enhanced by massaging the penis at the
same time! Some men have passed out from the sheer
pleasure so be prepared for an amazing sexual experience!
You
can stimulate the prostate with a finger, dildo or
other anal toy through the anus. If you are using
your finger or anal toys, try performing fellatio
sex or a handjob at the same time. If your partner
doesn't like anus area play you can perform prostate
stimulation by firmly massaging the area between the
anus and the scrotum from the outside. His orgasmic
pleasure will become greater.
Some
men enjoy it, some others don't. The amount that a
man will enjoy this depends on his personal physiology
as well as how he feels about it in general.
Some
men may find it unpleasant for a number of reasons,
while others will experience incredible orgasms. Relaxation
and patience is the key.
Anal
Love For Women
In
a woman, the nerve centers of the vagina and the anus
share several common walls and paths. When stimulated
together, women can experience enhanced pleasure and
extremely intense orgasms. Thus, double penetration
(simultaneous insertion into the anus and vagina)
can be an amazing sexual experience for a woman.
Women also enjoy exclusive anal stimulation, both
around the rim of the anus and through insertion and
penetration.
Toys,
Fingers & Penis
Using
a sex toy such as a g-spot
stimulator, dildo or anal beads can be exciting to a woman.
While anal sex is not something all women enjoy, women can
have anal orgasms and even female
ejaculate while having one.
Many
women enjoy rimming, and penetration, so the use of the
toys, finger and penis for anal stimulation are all great
ways to play.
In last
week's newsletter we discussed how and why perimenopause
begins and the symptoms associated with this transitional
phase in a woman's life.
Mastering
the Challenges of Perimenopause Part

In part 2
we will discuss the many options available to you in mastering
these challenges.

Changes

Problems
Changes
in Mood
Low
Libido
For some women
this transitional period can last for years, whereas others transition
to menopause within just a few months. What seems to matter most
in the severity of symptoms is the other burdens women may have
placed on their bodies over the years. Chronic stress, lack of
exercise and poor nutrition are three major players as they greatly
affect the body's ability to detoxify and maintain homeostasis.
Other lifestyle choices such as consuming excessive amounts of
alcohol and smoking are also compounding factors. With
this said, healthy lifestyle modifications will make a significant
difference in lessening the uncomfortable symptoms associated
with perimenopause.
Lifestyle
Modifications
1) Exercise
Exercise releases
endorphins in the brain which stimulates a feeling of well being
that can last several hours and help alleviate some depression
and mood swings. Hot flashes are also less common among physically
active women who exercise regularly. Recommendations
are three to five days a week of exercise including resistance
or weight training with weights, bands, machines and cardiovascular
training such as brisk walking, cycling, swimming or aerobic type
classes. Also, stretching should be done most days of the week
to maintain range of motion. Yoga, pilates and tai chi classes
can be a very valuable activity for woman of this age group. Exercise
will assist in preventing heart disease and further rev the metabolism
to burn off the extra fat gains associated with change in hormones.
2) Nutrition
As your risk
of heart disease and osteoporosis increases at this time, a healthy
diet is more important than ever. Choose a low in saturated and
trans fats, and high-fiber diet that's rich in fruits, vegetables,
beans and whole grains. Add calcium-rich foods or take a calcium
supplement, however supplements are not as good as dairy products
such as milk, cheese, yogurt etc. Brewers yeast is also a great
source of calcium, which is important for maintaining bone health.
Eliminate
foods rich in synthetic or hormonal estrogens. It's best to obtain
organic version of these foods and to switch to organic soy in
place of meat and poultry. Soy products contain important isoflavones
and it has been proven that soy products are associated with fewer
hot flashes. Recommended soy products high in isoflavones: Raw
green soybeans, soy flour (textured), dry roasted soybeans, instant
beverage soy powder, not reconstituted Miso soup mix, soybean
chips, tempeh, soybean curd cheese, tofu, tofu yogurt, soymilk.
Women who eat a plant-based diet that is rich in a variety of
fresh fruits and vegetables are less likely to experience premenopausal
or menopausal symptoms.
3) Reduce
or Eliminate Stimulants
It's definitely
best for your overall health to stop smoking altogether and try
to reduce or avoid alcohol and caffeine.Smoking increases your
risk of developing heart disease and reduces bone strength. Alcohol
can also reduce bone strength and has been associated with a higher
risk of breast cancer. Experts recommend that women drink no more
than one serving of alcohol each day. Stimulants can also trigger
hot flashes and interrupt natural sleep cycles.
4) Stress
Reduction
Stress creates
an imbalance in body, mind and spirit and aggravates the symptoms
of perimenopause. If practiced regularly, stress reduction techniques,
such as meditation, yoga and self imagery, can promote relaxation
and good health and are particularly helpful during this phase
of a woman's life. Women tend to take care of everyone else, but
don’t make time for themselves. Treat yourself to relaxation periods
throughout your busy schedule to renew your energy and to help
create a positive attitude.
Complementary
and Alternative Therapies
Complementary
and alternative therapies are medical treatments that are considered
nontraditional. They include dietary and herbal supplements, acupuncture,
chiropractic and massage therapy, biofeedback, homeopathy and
eating certain foods that are thought to prevent disease or heal.
Alternative treatments are often used alone, while complementary
treatments are alternative treatments that are used in combination
with traditional treatments, such as drug treatments or surgery.
Alternative treatments, such as phytoestrogens (plant-based substances)
and black cohosh (an herb), should be discussed with your doctor
or naturopath because they may interfere with some medications
and/or have possible risks and side effects.
Herbal
Remedies and Supplements That Have
Shown to be Helpful in Counteracting the Symptoms of Perimenopause
While Increasing Overall Health -
Bayberry
(Morella cerifera) - The
fruit of the Bayberry tree can increase blood flow and capillary
dilation in the mucus membranes of the vagina. This can increase
vaginal lubrication. Bayberry also has beneficial effects on female
reproductive muscle organs by increasing muscle tissue tone and
circulation.
Black Cohosh
(Cimicifuga racemosa, Actea racemosa) - A member of the buttercup
family and native to North America. Some clinical research has
shown shown that black cohosh is as effective for relief of hot
flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. This herb has been
proven to reduce lutenizing hormone secretions. High levels of
lutenizing hormone are responsible for the onset of menopause.
Calcium
- Essential for the normal growth and maintenance of bones
and teeth. Perimenopause and menopause represent depletion of
estrogen, which, in turn, is associated with increased risk of
bone loss and heart disease. Should be taken with magnesium for
optimal absorption.
Damiana
(Turnera diffusa) - Damiana is a small shrub native to Mexico.
The leaves are used for medicinal purposes. Damiana is considered
a powerful aphrodisiac. It stimulates the function of the sympathetic
nerves controlling the sexual organs, the urinary system, the
digestive organs and the respiratory organs. The herb strengthens
all the functions of the sexual organs and urinary system. This
herb is especially effective for women as has been shown to have
the same effects as the hormone progesterone and regulating estrogen
which can benefit pre-menopausal and menopausal women.
Evening
Primrose (oenothera biennis) - A biennial herb that is common
in North America Parts The seed oil is a good source of
GLA, an essential fatty acid. An essential fatty acid is a nutrient
that the body can't make but is essential to good health. Evening
Primrose Oil has been used for premenstrual syndrome ( PMS ) and
mastalgia ( sore breasts ) Studies to date have been conflicting,
some show a significant reduction in breast pain, while others
fail to confirm this. There are no known contraindications or
drug interactions reported.
Flax Seed
Oil ( Linum Usitatissimum) - A perennial herb growing to 3
ft. with oily brown seeds, native to Europe and Asia. The seeds
and seed oil contain the active ingredients essential fatty acids
- palmitic, steric, oleic, linoleic and linolenic. Flax seed oil
is a good source of essential fatty acids. Flax seed oil is rich
in (GLA) gamma Linolenic acid used by many for PMS and breast
tenderness. No reports of toxicity, when used at recommended doses.
Gingko
Biloba - Many research studies have shown Ginkgo Biloba can
assist in improving blood flow. Enhancing blood flow to the genitals
heightens sexual sensations. Gingko Biloba significantly increases
mental activity and memory. Since sexual desire begins in the
brain this herb can be a powerful sexual aid.
Ginseng
(Panax quinquefolius)
- The several species of Ginseng are native to
East Asia and Northern America. Ginseng stimulates neural functions
and stimulates and normalizes cerebral and sexual organ blood
flow. Ginseng also stimulates nerve growth, blood production and
sperm production. This stimulation will in turn give a revitalizing
effect, stronger sexual arousal, improved genital function and
increased physical sensation.
Horny goat
weed (Epidemium)
- Epidemium is native to East Asia. The entire
plant except for the root is used in herbal preparations. This
herb stimulates the sexual organs, giving enhanced genital sensations.
It can also increase sperm production, which may improve fertility.
It further stimulates sexual desire by acting upon the central
nervous system. This herb has been used for over 2,000 years as
a libido enhancer for both men and women and to improve erection
in men.
L-arginine
with Choline-
This combination is recommended daily for promoting better blood
flow to the pelvic organs and tissue to assist with low libido.
Maca (Lepidium
meyenii) - Maca is native to Peru and has been passed down
as from the Incas as a legendary sex-enhancing root. Maca root
is known for it's ability to stimulate sexual desire and drive,
increase energy energy, libido and sexual function. This Peruvian
herb may also help with hot flashes and night sweats.
Magnesium-
Helps with calcium absorption, acts as a muscle
relaxant, produces a sense of calmness, reduces mood swings and
irritability, promotes a peaceful nights sleep, and reduces food
cravings.
Natural
Progesterone Cream -
Natural progesterone creams usually contain extracts
from Mexican wild yam, which contains a substance which is believed
to be similar to the progesterone produced in the body. Many women
have found natural progesterone creams to be very effective in
treating menopause symptoms, but there is no evidence to show
that the creams lower the risk of breast and uterine cancer, or
are free from the risk of side effects as is sometimes claimed.
Peppermint
(Mentha piperita)
- Leaves of the peppermint plant stimulate genital
secretions which enhance lubrication. This facilitates the sexual
act and protects the sexual organ against injury.
Sage (Salvia
officinalis)
- The leaf of the sage plant has been used medicinally
for centuries. Sage leaf will assist in improving mental focus
energy restoration. Sage is a natural antiperspirant that contains
estrogen like substances to help alleviate "hot flashes" and the
adverse reactions to hormonal changes.
Suma (Pfaffia
paniculata)
- Suma is native to the Amazon Basin. The indigenous
people of the Amazon have been using Suma for centuries as a sexual
tonic. Suma root is an adaptogen that normalizes hormone production,
increases libido and calms nerves. An improved hormonal system
can in turn improve mental and physical sexual function.
Valerian
(Valeriana officinalis) - Sleep disturbances are common during
perimenopause caused by hormonal fluctuations. Valerian is an
effective herbal supplement that decreases the time it takes to
fall asleep, improves the quality of sleep, and reduces the number
of night awakenings, all without any associated daytime drowsiness.
Vitamin
B6 (Pyridoxine) - Natural
sources of vitamin B6 are whole grains, bananas, potatoes, nuts
and seeds and cauliflower. Vitamin B6 levels can be low in depression
or in women taking estrogen, in the form of birth control pills
or hormone replacement therapy. Pyridoxine, folic acid and vitamin
B6 deficiencies have been associated with osteoporosis in postmenopausal
women. At least 10 studies have been done on the use of pyridoxine
for PMS and have shown improvement of PMS symptoms with pyridoxine
supplementation. Vitamin B6 is also associated with a decrease
in the incidence of heart disease in women. Vitamin B6 is safe
when taken in recommended dosages.
Vitamin
C- best
when taken with Bioflavonoids (such as Hesperidin), helps to boost
the immune system, reduce hot flashes, and aid the adrenal glands
Vitamin
E (d-alpha tocopherol) - An antioxidant that found in high
amounts in polyunsaturated vegetable oils, wheat germ, seeds and
nuts. In natural vitamin E the small d in d-alpha tocopherol signifies
a natural source which is preferable to synthetic vitamin E signified
by the dl in dl-alpha tocopherol. Mixed tocopherols contain d-alpha,
beta, delta and gamma tocopherols. Mixed tocopherols offer the
greatest benefit. Look for natural mixed tocopherols. Vitamin
E has been shown to help in reducing hotflashes and vaginal dryness.
Vitamin E potentiate (cause a greater effect) of anticoagulant
drugs such as Coumadin or aspirin. If you are on either of these
drugs consult your doctor or naturaopath before starting vitamin
E.
Traditional
Medical Treatments
If you have
severe symptoms, you may want to ask your doctor about prescription
medicines. Some choices include -
Low-dose
hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
- HRT consists of medications containing female hormones to replace
the ones the body is no longer making. In 2002, a large clinical
trial called the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) reported that
hormone therapy actually posed more health risks than benefits
for women in the clinical trial. As the number of health hazards
attributed to hormone therapy grew, doctors became less likely
to prescribe it. And up to two-thirds of women on the therapy
discontinued its use, often without talking to their doctors.
Today, there's plenty of confusion about hormone replacement therapy,
which is now commonly called hormone therapy. The truth is that
hormone therapy is not the magical cure for aging that it was
once believed to be, but it's still the most effective treatment
for unpleasant menopausal symptoms for most women. If you're facing
menopause, learn more about the benefits and the risks of hormone
therapy.
Low-dose
Birth Control Pills - Helpful in preventing pregnancy and
may also have some health benefits. They can reduce hot flashes
and vaginal dryness. Very-low-dose birth control pills can also
help regulate your periods if they are heavy or irregular. They
may also prevent bone loss, and helps protect you from osteoporosis.
Another potential benefit is protection from cancer of the ovary
and uterus. The lower dose of estrogen in low-does birth control
is believed to be safer for women who are perimenopausal. Perimenopausal
women who have a history of deep blood clots, breast cancer or
heart disease should not take very-low-dose birth control pills.
Women who smoke also should not take them.
What
Can You Do?
How do you
decide what to do? Carefully review your medical history and re-examine
your personal values and beliefs. You will then be better able
to determine your goals and how best to achieve them. For example,
some women choose only lifestyle changes, like diet, exercise,
and relaxation. Others favor herbal remedies and acupuncture.
And still others prefer to use medication. The choice is up to
you.

The
Case of the Amputated Penis
A
Kentucky man is suing his doctors after they amputated his penis.
The 61-year-old had gone in to have a circumcision for medical
reasons and woke up from the procedure to find his member gone.
According to the plaintiff’s attorney, the doctors found cancer
in the organ and made an immediate decision to perform a penectomy,
even though they only had permission to remove the foreskin. “The
victim has suffered mental anguish, pain, and has lost the enjoyment
of life, according to the lawsuit,” WKLY News reports.
Disbarred
For Masturbation In Court
A
former Oklahoma judge who masturbated on the bench has been disbarred.
The judge was convicted of four counts of indecent exposure in
June 2006 and was released this year after serving 20 months in
prison. Prior to his jail time, “prosecutors had accused the judge
of exposing himself and using a penis pump to masturbate” during
four trials, UPI reports. The judge’s lawyer added that “the disbarment
did not come as a surprise.”
Ridiculous
Law Suit Goes To...
A
woman who sued Vibe magazine and Sean Combs for $3 million after
the mag published a topless photo of her has had her case dismissed.
The photo in question, captioned ”Mermaids Gone Wild,” showed
the plaintiff and two other women in mermaid costumes at Diddy’s
annual White Party alongside a profile of the musician. “When
you come to a party and you dress provocatively and you see a
swarm of photographers there, you would know what you’re getting
yourself into,” Combs’s lawyer told the New York Daily News.
