Sex Joke of the Week-

A man and a woman were waiting at the hospital donation center.

Man: "What are you doing here today?"
Woman: "Oh, I'm here to donate some blood. They're going to give me $5 for it."
Man: "Hmm, that's interesting. I'm here to donate sperm, myself. But they pay me $25."

The woman looked thoughtful for a moment and they chatted some more before going their separate ways. A couple months later, the same man and woman meet again in the donation center.

Man: "Oh, hi there! Here to donate blood again?"
Woman: [shaking her head with mouth closed] "Uuh unh."

Four Year Itch
        The Chemical High Of Love

While most people refer to the infamous movie called the "Seven Year Itch" to describe the dip of emotional intensity in a relationship, you may wonder if there is really such a thing in a relationship. Turns out there is, except it isn't seven years it is two- four years.

Psychiatrists divide romantic love into two fundamental stages: the "attraction phase" and the "attachment phase." During the attraction phase, infatuation engulfs lovers with giddiness, euphoria, optimism, and energy. These feelings are influenced by increased activity in the brain of such chemicals as phenylethylamin and other natural brain stimulants. In stage two, the attachment stage, there is often a peaceful, secure, comfortable love.

In the infatuation stage, often referred to as the "Honeymoon Period" of a relationship, there is a virtual explosion of adrenaline-like nuerochemicals such as PEA or phenylethylamine; a chemical that speeds up the flow of information between nerve cells. Also, involved in "love chemistry" are dopamine and norepinephrine, chemical cousins of amphetamines. Dopamine makes us feel good and norepinephrine stimulates the production of adrenaline.

These three chemicals combined with changes in hormones, give us infatuation (chemistry). It is why new lovers feel euphoric and energized, and "float on air". It is also why new lovers can make love for hours and talk all night for weeks on end. This is certainly the kind of chemistry of love we all seek.


Because love is fueled by chemicals and chemistry you can see lovers trying to increase this affect in their partner by giving chocolates, which have a similar affect on the brain in a less intense manner. That is why Valentine's day chocolates are so popular!

Another chemical, oxytocin, has been referred to as the cuddling chemical. Linked to milk production in women, oxytocin makes women and men calmer and more sensitive to the feelings of others. It plays an important role in romantic love as a sexual arousal hormone that signals orgasm and prompts cuddling between lovers before, during, and after lovemaking. Oxytocin production is derived from both emotional and physical cues. A lover's voice, his/her certain look, or even a sexual fantasy can trigger the release of oxytocin.

What Happens When The Chemical Honeymoon Comes To An End?

After the honeymoon period, the brain stops producing as much of these chemicals and a tolerance to them builds. This is when most relationships begin to see intensification of conflicts. Because many people do not have the communication skills they need to work through these challenges that provide growth opportunities, they will seek out the chemical "high" through an affair or terminating their relationship and looking for it in someone else.

However, these same people will often find that they have similar issues that challenge them in their next relationship after the next honeymoon period comes to a chemical end. Thus, being aware of this allows us to understand that it is normal and that it is a sign we are moving into the stage of a relationship that may allow us the most emotional growth. This knowledge may also encourage couples to stick it out as there are not only emotional benefits but different chemical bonuses that occur after the intensity dies down.

Another important aspect is emotional intelligence, which is an important part of our evolution. To ignore the opportunity to evolve by working through our emotional challenges is neglecting the advancement of our emotional intelligence and keeps us immature.

This applies to monogamous and open relationships and is not contingent upon one being married. Regardless of one's style of commitment to someone, it is after the honeymoon period where we can learn the most about our partner(s), ourselves and experience a deeper more profound love than ever before.

However, it requires effort and in this fast paced, impatient society that we live in, avoidance of this is common. It is why we see such a large divorce rate and the desire to numb ourselves with unhealthy coping skills to avoid the emotional work that it requires.

The Chemical Bonus To Long Term Relationships

When infatuation subsides, a new group of chemicals takes over. This new type of chemical reward is created by endorphins. These morphine-like opiates calm and reassure with intimacy, dependability, warmth, and shared experiences. In combination with other chemical reactions associated with love in the body, people through a variety of studies have shown increased productivity of the immune system, and better health and a longer life.

While long term love chemicals are not as exciting or as stressful as PEA, they are steadier and more addictive. The longer two people have been together, the more likely it is that they'll stay together. In part, they become addicted to the endorphins and relationship serenity.

It is the absence of endorphins that make long-time partners yearn for each other when apart. Absent endorphins also play a part in grief from the death of a spouse.

Getting Through Infatuation Withdrawal

So it seems that long term relationships are not only good for one's emotional health but also for your physical health. Again, these relationships don't have to be in a traditional marriage. Any romantic relationship whether in heterosexual, same sex relationships, open relationships as well as monogamous relationships can experience long term intimacy. It is more a matter of determining what type of relationship is right for you and finding a partner that has a similar vision. Then make the effort to communicate effectively with one another as well as invest effort into maintaining the relationship to go the distance.

Having Fun!

That is one of the reasons why we at Holistic Wisdom look for ways to provide relationship and sexual education so that you and your partner(s) can be empowered to live life fully and passionately! So whether you have been with your partner for many years or even if you are single, you can embrace loving yourself and your sexuality for a healthier, longer life.

Japan Gets Naked News!

January 2006

Naked News, which features anchors and reporters who disrobe during newscasts, launched its risqué take on current affairs in Japan. Proclaiming Naked News as "The program with nothing to hide."

The CEO described the service as "a unique concept for the Japanese market." Sunrise, which specializes in sales of goods and services via the Internet, and Naked News owner eGalaxy Multimedia have set a target of 10,000 mobile subscribers in the first year.

"We would not have dared to come to Japan unless we were convinced that there was a definite market, and we now see there is a massive market here, we have a partner that understands that market and the technological skills to provide an enjoyable product," eGalaxy Multimedia Inc. CEO David Warga said.

Since making its debut in Canada in 1999, Naked News has become available via the Internet, television and mobile phones in North America, Australia and Europe. "We believe there is a huge untapped market for the right kind of information if it was properly packaged," Warga said. "So we created a news-entertainment program in which women, and later men, informed while removing their clothing."

The service initially will be news that is provided for Naked News' existing markets but with Japanese subtitles. The plan is eventually to produce content in Japan that will appeal to a larger percentage of the population. Another area being tested concerns the degree of nudity of the presenters. Initially, newscasters will strip to their underwear, but Uchikawa indicated that he hopes to be able to see how far Japanese obscenity broadcasting laws can be bent before they are broken.

Canadian-born presenter Lily Kwan has been peeling off her work clothes for five years and described the experience as "liberating." "I love being able to go out onto the streets and take my clothes off," she said. "While we have been in Tokyo, people have been very surprised to see us with no tops on, but they're very happy and interested in talking to us."

 

 

Nude Painting Of Man- Controversial

January 2006

The painting of a naked man is causing some concern in Escondido, California. A local artist Robert Ferguson has on display at a gallery on Grand Avenue in the gallery's second floor window that is making some people upset.

It is visible from the street and shows a man, lying on his side, nude. Although some say it's a work of art, others say it's offensive.

Ferguson said. He believes the controversy over his work really exposes people's misunderstanding of art. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And there are some who describe the painting as offensive. They argue it should be moved back.

At one point, after complaints, the painting was taken down, but it was put back on display after supporters encouraged Ferguson and the gallery to do so. Supporters such as Escondido city officials have found nothing wrong with Ferguson's window display, in fact one of the painting's fans is the mayor. "I mean, it's not in your face, and it's a beautiful painting and people should have a chance to see it," said Escondido Mayor Lori Holt Pfeiler. The painting will remain on display through Feb. 4.

How To Choose A Vibe

 

Eva Longoria treats all her girlfriends to a vibrator on their birthday. The 'Desperate Housewives' star claims the greatest gift for any woman is learning how to pleasure herself and insists she is happy to give electronic aids to her friends to help them discover themselves sexually.

The sexy actress, who famously said she didn't have an orgasm until she used a vibrator, revealed: "After I spoke openly about vibrators I literally got boxes and boxes of free sex toys sent to me. So I was constantly giving them away. "Even before that I'd give them to girlfriends for their birthdays and they'd be so excited."

Eva insists learning what pleases you sexually while experimenting on your own can only lead to a better sex life with your husband or boyfriend. She added to Cosmopolitan magazine: "You get better sex when you know your own body. How can you expect a man to know your body when you don't know what pleases you?"

 


Los Angeles Bans Unprotected Sex

January 2006

New regulations passed by the Los Angeles County board of supervisors bans unprotected sex in all county commercial sex venues (such as bathhouses and sex clubs) and requires them to pay $1,088 in annual licensing fees and undergo quarterly health inspections, the Los Angeles Times reports.

All sex clubs and bathhouses will be required to display signs and posters stating that unprotected sex is prohibited by patrons, and they must provide free condoms, lubricant, and information on HIV prevention and safer sex.

Owners of sex venues also are now required to prohibit entry to anyone appearing to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The measure, passed 3–0 by county supervisors, also requires commercial sex venues to offer HIV antibody testing and counseling.

County health officials are expected to begin issuing permits in mid February. Sex clubs and bathhouses must begin offering at least 20 hours of HIV testing and counseling availability per week beginning March 1, according to the new rules.

Venues that don’t comply with all new regulations can be shut down. The new regulations were passed by supervisors following studies showing that patrons of commercial sex venues were significantly more likely to be HIV-positive than the general population and were more likely to engage in unprotected sex, often with multiple partners during a single visit to a sex club or bathhouse.

Scott Campbell, president of a firm that runs three bathhouses in Los Angeles, told the Times he believes the new regulations unfairly target sex clubs as primary facilitators of unprotected sex and of placing gay men at risk for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. He notes that many gay men meet and engage in unprotected sex with partners they meet through Internet sites or at area bars and nightclubs.

He also said his three commercial sex venues already spent $200,000 annually on safer-sex materials and HIV prevention information before the new regulations were approved. The Times did not mention what county supervisors and health officials consider to be unprotected sex as to whether the definition applies specifically to anal sex or includes oral sex.

 

 

Religion Says Nudity During Sex Not Allowed?

January 2006

According to the religious edict issued by Rashad Hassan Khalil, a former dean of Al-Azhar University's faculty of Sharia (or Islamic law), "being completely naked during the act of coitus annuls the marriage".

The religious decree sparked a hot debate on the private satellite network Dream's popular religious talk show and on the front page of Sunday's Al-Masri Al-Yom, Egypt's leading independent daily newspaper. Suad Saleh, who heads the women's department of Al-Azhar's Islamic studies faculty, pleaded for "anything that can bring spouses closer to each other" and rejected the claim that nudity during intercourse could invalidate a union.

During the live televised debate, Islamic scholar Abdel Muti dismissed the fatwa: "Nothing is prohibited during marital sex, except of course sodomy." For his part, Al-Azhar's fatwa committee chairman Abdullah Megawar argued that married couples could see each other naked but should not look at each other's genitalia and suggested they cover up with a blanket during sex.

 


Couple Having Sex Call Police

January 2006

A couple were left highly embarrassed when they dialed 999 (the UK's version of 911) during sex . The red-faced pair had accidentally stood on the phone while they were making love and when shocked officers answered the call, all they could hear was what sounded like a woman crying and a man's voice in the background. They traced the call and rushed to the scene, where they found the couple, who explained they were "messing around".

A police spokesman said: "It happened while they were having sex. The woman had depressed with her foot the '9' button on the phone which happened to be on the floor.

"It certainly put a smile on the faces of the police - we were just very relieved it wasn't a violent situation and that the couple were clearly getting on very well together."

 

 


iPorn For iPods

January 2006

iPorns™ provides movie formats that are compatible with portable media devices. The company expects consumers to download movies and watch them at their convenience while traveling, commuting to work and during their leisure time at home, in parks, beaches, and other public spaces.

"Like other forms of entertainment, consumers want to watch programming that interests them at their convenience, so we expect that people will watch porn films in places other than the privacy of their bedroom," said David Joseph, CEO. "Technology gives us the opportunity to provide this service. We're calling this porn on the pod!"

iPorns™ was founded by Joseph who also serves as CEO of Red Light District and Platinum X films, leading adult entertainment companies that specialize in producing hard-core "gonzo" films. Red Light District is best known for their blockbuster, "One Night in Paris," featuring America's favorite celebutante. While films from his companies will be featured, iPorns™ also will offer films from other production companies. Joseph adds, "iPorns also provides immediate access to consumers who may be too embarrassed to shop in adult video stores or who don't want to wait for a tape to be mailed.

iPorns can provide almost immediate gratification." The cost to download a movie ranges from $1.99 to $12.99. The price is based on the length of a scene or the amount of a movie a consumer wants to view.

 

 

Adult Performers Reporting Increased STDs

January 2006

AIM Healthcare Foundation has become aware of an increasing number of adult performers reporting skin infections that have been diagnosed as “staph” infections. Dr. Sharon Mitchell, Ph.D., told AVN.com that “this can be contagious and is treatable with antibiotics…the trick is to detect, and diagnose it early on.”

Most staph skin infections are minor (such as pimples and boils) and can be treated without antibiotics (also known as antimicrobials or antibacterials). However, staph bacteria also can cause serious infections.

Mitchell, executive director at AIM, went on to say that “signs and symptoms include: localized swelling, redness discharge, and bump on the skin that looks like an oily, pussy pimple that won’t go away. These can be big and hard and painful infections, and they can be anywhere on your body. If you should have any of these symptoms please come into AIM for treatment immediately.”

AIM has also reported receiving a call from starlets that have gone “straight to anal” and are concerned about the onset of about seven cases of rectal gonorrhea. Mitchell explains that “AIM uses the PCR/DNA probe to detect chlamydia/gonorrhea in the urine, which is very specific to the urinary tract system and not systemically in other areas such as rectum, or throat.”

Mitchell warns “in order to detect gonorrhea in those areas we need to use a separate probe. So, if you are a female who is doing ‘straight to anal,’ we highly urge you to let us know, because if you are not doing vaginal, our urine test will not detect chlamydia/gonorrhea in any other area. Ask for a probe!” She added, “If you have rectal chlamydia or gonorrhea, it will go undetected and rectal bleeding or other serious infections may occur! If you are doing oral and no vaginal, we urge you to get a throat culture. Take the time to protect yourself and ask for a separate probe.”
