Our Rating Out Of Four Stars-

This is a hard movie to watch, but well worth watching with a very realistic feel. Based on a true story, this drama was adapted from the life of Brandon Teena, born Teena Brandon, a woman who chose to live her life as a man and suffered tragic consequences as a result. In 1993, 20-year-old Brandon (Hilary Swank) leaves Lincoln, Nebraska for the nearby community of Falls City, where she sports a crew cut, favors jeans and boots, and is regarded as a man by most of the people in town.

While Brandon's friend Lonny (Matt McGrath) warns her that sexual outsiders aren't looked upon kindly in Falls City, she develops a reputation for being something of a ladies' man, and is soon living with a single mother named Candace (Alicia Goranson). But when Brandon meets teenage Lana (Chloe Sevigny), the two become romantically involved almost immediately. Brandon makes friends with Lana's mother (Jeanetta Arnette) and a burly ex-con named John (Peter Sarsgaard). John and his buddy Tom (Brendan Sexton) run with a rough group of men who like to drink and carouse, and they accept Brandon as one of their own. However, when Brandon ends up in jail on a traffic violation, her secret comes out, and, while Lana stands by Brandon's side, John and Tom feel betrayed -- and their anger soon boils over into violence.

Hi Lisa & John,

I know you get a lot of email, so if I don't hear a response I'll understand. I'm just hoping my question will be a common one and will reach your "Ask Lisa" section in the newsletter (which I thoroughly enjoy....excellent work!!)

I've recently been receiving a lot of spam about products that will supposedly increase the volume of your ejaculate. The one product name that I can remember is called "Spur-M". I'll admit I'm quite skeptical about it, but I'll freely admit there's also a LOT of things I know nothing about. Is it in any way possible that a supplement could do that? If not, is there any other way?

I'm 48 and I've found that over the years the size of my "load" is not what it used to be. I know that's a natural aging phenomenon but if there's a way I could reverse that, that would be very cool.

Thanks!

David

Hi David,

Thank you for your question. Honestly, I can not tell you exactly how many times I have been asked this, but I know that it is in the triple digits so it is a perfect topic to share with you fellow readers.

The three most commonly asked questions by men are- 1) How to make their penis larger. 2) How to prevent premature ejaculation or simply extend sex before allowing themselves to orgasm. 3) How to make themselves ejaculate more powerfully, and in greater amounts.

Is This What Women Want?

I find the desire to increase ejaculate from men a little humorous because a lot of women ask me how to avoid contact with male ejaculate from not wanting to swallow it to not wanting it on them. That is not to say that many women don't love slathering themselves in it or do enjoy swallowing and tasting... because there are and I am one of them... however, I think that men often have a different understanding of what women perceive as a sexually viral and powerful man. I can assure you that most of us really are not thinking that a man that ejaculates a lot is sexier than a lover that ejaculates an average to smaller amount.

I think that I can speak for most women in that we are often more impressed with the taste and what you have been consuming to make it sweeter versus bitter not the amount. But, for men who find it to be a goal, and there are many of you out there, I think it wise to first review what causes your ejaculate to be in smaller or larger amounts before we get to the products that claim to do it.

What Makes A Man Ejaculate More or Less Cum?

The volume of ejaculation is most often related to how often you ejaculate. Two things can happen: If you refrain from ejaculation, your semen will build up over a few days and then you can shoot a larger load. Or if you ejaculate often, the loads can be small initially, but over time your body will compensate by making more semen by ejaculating larger loads.

Let's take a look at what is involved so you will better understand how this all works-

Ejaculatory Ducts:
These passage ways are how your semen gets delivered to your urethra during ejaculation.

Epididymis:
This area is where your immature sperm develop into mature sperm where they remain until you're ready to ejaculate.

Testicles:
The boys produce both sperm and testosterone, and within each ball exists over half a mile of ducts that generate sperm.

Prostate Gland:
The male G-spot, the prostate gland is the about the size of a walnut and surrounds the upper part of the urethra (your pee hole). When you're sexually aroused, this gland shuts the uretheral passage to the bladder.

Seminal Vesicles:
This is where you produce seminal fluid the fluid that protects your sperm.

Vas deferens:
This is the tube that leads from the epididymis to the seminal vesicles. When you ejaculate, the first few contractions are the most intense and occur about one second apart.

The Products-

Perhaps you may have noticed that we do not promote ejaculate increasing drugs on our web site. The reason we do not is because we do not believe them to deliver what they promise and in some instances may even cause damage to your health.

Porn Tricks-

Remember that porn videos are geared at presenting "good sex" and often the really large loads you see men ejaculating are not real, but are enhanced by various tricks. You should be aware that the size of the load has nothing to do with the intensity of your orgasm or your value as a sex partner.

Be A Smart Consumer-

From porn stars Peter North to Bruno B endorsing volume increasing ejaculate pills that " increase your volume by up to 500% allowing you to shoot up to 13 feet," according to the marketing hype, you will find no shortage of attempts to sell you these products.

The most popular products right now are Semenax™ and Volume Pills™.

Herbs that are popular to recommend are-

Maca-
A Root (Lepidium meyenii, Walpers) increase stamina, libido and fertility in both men and women.

Lecithin-
(Nervous, Circulatory) is a fat-like substance called a phospholipid. Used primarily for High Cholesterol, Cardiovascular Disease, Overweight, Low Energy, Alcoholism

Don't Forget About The Disclaimers-

Common disclaimers that companies like these toss around are "Results may vary," and "This information is not a substitute for professional medical advice," "This product is not intended to prevent or treat any disease and has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration."

These disclaimers should not be taken lightly. What they are saying essentially is that their product may not work for you and that they will not be responsible if it doesn't or if you should have a major health problem from taking their product. While some of them offer a money back guarantee, you may want to know that these companies can make that near impossible for you to actually get your money back claiming that your results may vary or that you have not taken them correctly.

You need to be aware that as the consumer you have the responsibility to yourself to be educated about the chemicals and supplements that you decide to take because you may not be at all happy with the consequences if you don't.

The Affiliate Lure-

The other thing that I could not help but notice is that the Blogs are filled with advice on this stuff, but the links they are providing are often affiliate links. For those of you who aren't familiar with the world of affiliate programs... basically there are companies that offer a percentage or flat dollar amount for each sale that their affiliates refer to their web site. They then provide a special link that will credit each affiliate for the sale of that product.

Often you can spot them because they will have an affiliate code after the main link... such as http://www.HolisticWisdom.com/?123.htm where a normal link would simply be http//:www.HolisticWisdom.com. However, some affiliate programs provide blind links to use (meaning there is a redirect with no code shown to prevent the consumer from knowing it is an affiliate link) and you will never know that you were even referred by one.

In fact Peter North's web site has a link to the Volume Pill web site and it is an affiliate link. In turn the company Volume Pills can claim that any of the people that are linking to their site to earn income are endorsing their product. In reality, none of the affiliates may have ever tried it... the affiliates just know that the product sells well and they are making a lot of money getting the referral fees for it. Whether they have tired it and believe in it is really only known by them.

Please know that there is nothing wrong with affiliate programs, in fact we offer one ourselves. The point I am trying to make here is that you need to understand that a lot of marketing is hype. The person in a blog or chatroom who swears that these products worked for them and then gives you a link to the site, may simply be promoting the affiliate program they belong to so that they can earn income and may never have even tired the product.

Again, it is not about saying that all these companies are bad or want to cause you harm, it is about you being an educated consumer that has your best interests in mind.

What May Work-

PC Exercises
While Kegel exercises can help you last longer, they can also aid in increasing the length in which you ejaculate. There are a host of exercises you can do to keep your penis in great shape and shoot like a champion.
Learn how to do Kegel Exercises For Men.

Amino Acids
Amino acids are believed to increase ejaculate fluid (not the amount of actual sperm but the seminal fluid) if taken regularly. Some amino acids include: L-Arginine L-Lysine L-Carnitine

Zinc
Zinc has been shown to improve both the amount of sperm you produce and the sperm's ability to move spontaneously and independently. Coupled with amino acids, this will increase sperm volume significantly.

Horny Goat Weed
Also called epimedium sagittatum, this plant boosts both your libido and testosterone levels, hence leading to stronger ejaculation.

Pumpkin Seeds
While they may not readily increase sperm volume, they do enhance prostate health and testosterone production.

And the list goes on and on. There are a lot of supplements out there that may help and Chinese medicine offers a great deal of them. Visiting an Acupuncturist is a great way to learn more about them.

Don't Overdose!

I have hear a lot of men who begin taking normal, recommended dosages of pills or supplements and then begin taking huge amounts to get results. Whatever you take, remember that anything taken in large quantities may cause long term damage and should be avoided.

In Closing

There are many products out on the market right now that claim to be able to increase ejaculate fluid among other things. Ask your doctor and pharmacist if you want to take them because it is not just about determining if they are effective, or may cause health risks, but you need to determine base don your health and other factors if YOU should be taking them.

Hi Lisa,

I just wanted to say how much I loved your video The Art of Female Ejaculation! I was not sure what to expect... I mean I guess I was not sure if it would be boring or even helpful. I am happy to say that I found it to not only be full of great information that both my husband and I have really benefited from, but we found it quite sexy too! I am also happy to report that I am 40 years old and was able to ejaculate for the first time last night. Thank you for educating women on something that should be taught to us as young girls as part of our sex education. You have a huge fan in both of us!

Joke Submitted By A Reader-

A young boy knows about sex and where babies come from because his mother told him that "the man puts his penis inside the woman and she gets pregnant." A few days later, after pondering this for some time, the boy asks in all the innocence and wonder of a child, "Does the man ever get his penis back?"

Hi,

First of all I'd like to say how much I've enjoyed your site for the past year since I've first discovered it. Secondly, I'd just wanted to say that you and your husband have inspired me to study to become a sexual therapist. I know the career move may be a difficult one, but the way I see it, I won't be happy until I do what my heart desires as my career. I love the way you two present sexual advice in a way that isn't dirty but is still informative and I'd like to be able to be a part of that. I'd like to help in the opening of the eyes of the new generation and be able to let them know that sex and all things related to sex does not have to be dirty. It is something that can and should be enjoyed. Well, I just thought you'd like to know. Thank you once again for inspiring me to make this move.

Your reader,

I find your newsletter very interesting and informative, it's very well done and professional.

While inflatable sex dolls are still illegal in conservative Singapore, sex toys are beginning to make their way into acceptance so that stores may sell them.

Right now there are seven or eight such stores in the tiny island-nation of four million people. Some shops make up to 1,000 Singapore dollars (606 US dollars) a day. Surveys have shown that Singaporeans have sex less frequently than other Asians.

The city-state also suffers from a serious shortage of babies because couples are postponing parenthood, or are simply unable to procreate because they are too busy or stressed out. So it seems that people are starting to use these items to spice up their sex lives, which may have become monotonous.

According to shop owners, popular items include vibrators, massage oils and artificial vaginas made of silicon. Yet according to shop owner Chan, the items in his shop are tame compared to those sold in similar shops in Japan and Western countries. "We have customers turning up, usually the younger ones, asking for more realistic and vivid sex toys they've seen overseas. Unfortunately, we have to turn them down, or offer them alternatives," said Chan.

Local laws state that it is an offense to sell, distribute, exhibit import or export an "obscene object". Those found guilty can be jailed for up to three months, or fined, or both. But the jury is out as to what local authorities deem obscene, with the police advising interested parties to consult their lawyers first before setting up shop.

Adult-shop owners are having a field day teasing their customers into shedding their inhibitions, even if it can be an arduous process. "Asians in general don't have open minds. Some of my customers who are first-time buyers dare not ask how the various items work, or even worse, be seen by their friends entering my shop," said saleslady Lee.

She has strong opinions about some local men who visit her shop. "A few can sound like experts when explaining to their friends the benefits of buying things like vibrators for their partners. But they themselves will never buy the products, preferring to pop by later alone," she scoffed. Shop owners are more impressed with female customers, who tend to be frank with their sexual needs and are not afraid to ask direct questions. "For example, when buying a vibrator, they want to know the intensity of the vibration, so that they can get the exact piece they need," said Chan.

But not everyone in society can readily accept the presence of adult novelty shops. Shop owners say they have encountered foul-mouthed parents who accuse them of leading their children astray, as well as critics who claim that such shops promote sexual promiscuity. Lee, who is married to a car audio shop owner in his 30s, said some customers claim to have wives stricken with terminal disease who are unable to have sex with them. "They tell me they don't wish to cheat on their wives, and are only looking to relieve themselves through these toys. How can that be possibly wrong?"

Fighting Harsh Adult Entertainment Regulations

The Free Speech Coalition (FSC) and the Association of Club Executives (ACE) members are mobilizing to fight a state bill (SB 32) which proposes a wide range of harsh adult entertainment regulations. The bill is currently on a fast track through the Missouri Senate, headed for a Judiciary Committee hearing.

Among the numerous provisions in this bill Is a “sin” tax requiring adult businesses to pay a $5 admission tax for each person entering the business, the funds to be deposited into the “State Schools Money Fund."

The bill also creates a 20% sales tax for adult businesses. SB 32 requires employees to be over 21. It bans exhibition of sexually explicit videos and live entertainment in viewing rooms. The bill prohibits nudity. Semi-nudity is allowed only if a person is an employee who does not touch customers and remains a specified distance away from patrons and behind a railing.

Under the bill, all adult business must close between 10 PM and 10 AM and no adult business can sell liquor. Free Speech Coalition member Dick Snow asks for assistance in notifying Missouri adult businesses of this threat and urging them to get involved in this critical legislative fight.

Adam & Eve’s adult store national expansion plans are meeting resistance in its first planned location outside North Carolina. Nassau County lawyer Gary Baker, while admitting that it may be impossible to stop the store, is nonetheless attempting to organize a resistance. Baker said that he plans to have someone photograph each person who walks in the store, and place the photos on a Web site and in local newspapers.

“Adam & Eve’s lawyers have grossly misjudged the determination of the people in this community,” said Baker. “If the county tries to stop Adam & Eve from opening on [highway] A1A, it will be sued and most likely will lose,” said Michael Parnell, Editor of Florida News-Leader, taking a different view in an editorial. “We cannot afford the waste of taxpayer money.” Parnell also warned of the legal prowess of Adam & Eve’s Philip D. Harvey. “Harvey is a forceful advocate for sexual pleasure and the freedom to enjoy it,” said Parnell. “He is not afraid to fight for what he believes is right.”

Lap Dance Law Thrown Out By Nevada Judge

District Court Judge Sally Loehrer judge ruled that a Las Vegas law prohibiting strippers from fondling customers during lap dances is unconstitutionally vague. She affirmed a lower court ruling that as many as five misdemeanor criminal cases filed against Las Vegas strippers should be dismissed.

The ruling affects only dancers within city limits. The Clark County Commission in 2002 limited touching between strippers and patrons during private lap dances, specifically barring strippers from touching or sitting on the customer's genital area. But the municipal code was not as specific, saying only that strippers and their patrons should not ``fondle'' or ``caress'' each other.

City attorneys told Loehrer touching is illegal when dancers engage in contact aimed at sexually arousing the customer. But defense lawyer James Colin argued the lack of specifics makes it impossible to enforce the law. ``It's too confusing,'' Colin said. ``No one knows.'' Under Loehrer's ruling, no dancer in the city can be arrested for violating the municipal code. The city is considering an appeal.

An Italian man committed suicide after his wife fell into a coma, but just hours after he killed himself the woman woke up. The 70-year-old man, Ettore, had sat by his wife's bedside for four months after she slipped into a coma following a heart attack. He finally gave up hope and gassed himself in the garage of his family home. Less than a day later, his wife, Rossana, woke up in her hospital bed and immediately asked for him.

Oddly the town in Italy where they live lies just 40 miles from Verona, where fictional star-crossed lover Romeo killed himself believing Juliet to have died. But minutes later Juliet woke up and seeing Romeo dead, stabbed herself.

Former Judge Masturbating In Court?

A former state judge in Oklahoma City, allegedly used a sex toy called a penis pump in court, was charged with three felony counts of indecent exposure by Oklahoma authorities. Former Judge Donald Thompson, 58, pleaded not guilty in the Creek County District Court in the northeastern Oklahoma town of Sapulpa.

If convicted, Thompson could face up to 10 years in prison for each count. At the courthouse on Thursday, Thompson was taken to a backroom where he provided a DNA sample to authorities. Last year, a court reporter who worked for Thompson was fired after she said she saw the judge masturbate and use the penis pump during hearings. Other witnesses claimed they saw Thompson use the pump in court. Thompson stepped down in August after the allegations came to light and the state attorney general acted to remove him from the bench. Officials searched Thompson's courtroom and chambers, and performed tests on carpet, a chair, a trash can and the judge's robe. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for March 22.

Brazil is one of the Latin American countries hardest hit by the AIDS epidemic and will hand out a record 11 million condoms to prevent the spread of the disease during its erotically charged Carnival festival when casual sex rises.

The "Dress Yourself" campaign is to remind revelers a condom should be part of their outfit, no matter how little they wear to parades and parties renowned for semi-nude, hip-thrusting dancers. Millions of Brazilians and foreigners flock to cities such as Rio de Janeiro, Salvador and Recife for the Feb. 4 to Feb. 9 festival.

Crammed streets and close contact in tropical heat intensifies sexual relations, health authorities said. The safe-sex campaign hits Brazilian television screens next week showing grinning celebrities waving condoms as they dance to popular Carnival samba tune, "What will you wear?" Brazil's AIDS program uses free distribution of condoms and a cocktail of free drugs to prevent the spread of the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, which causes the disease.

Brazil, a country of 180 million people, uses around 1.2 billion condoms a year. The government wants to boost that number to 3 billion by 2008 through free distribution and manufacture of cheaper domestic products.

Sex Shop Hold Up...
Give Me Your Money & Blow Up Doll

Police are searching for a pistol-wielding robber who stole female leather bondage gear and an inflatable sex doll from an erotica store in Milan. The clerk at the "Night Shop" speculated that the raunchy robber might have been unsatisfied with the payout of his hold-up, which only yielded him about 60 euros ($78). He took an inflatable doll and a leather outfit for a woman.

Antwerp, Belgian port city's waterfront will dim the bright new lights after prostitutes complained they were putting off potential clients. "We had some remarks from the prostitutes that there was too much light, both for them and the clients," city council spokesman Jorn Verbeeck said.

Prostitutes complained to city and police officials that the lights installed in December did not give them enough privacy and hurt business. The port, which tolerates prostitutes in a select few streets near the waterfront, will next week test an electric system to dim the lights, Verbeeck said. If the test gets the thumbs-up from the city's sex workers, the system will be rolled out across the red light district.

Viagra May Help Those With Enlarged Hearts

Tests on animals indicate Viagra may aid in the treatment of enlarged hearts that can result from high blood pressure. Plans are under way for a trial to determine if similar results occur in humans given the drug widely used to treat erectile dysfunction. The drug, known generically as sildenafil citrate, blocked and even reversed some of the heart enlargement in mice with blood pressure stress.

Pope John Paul II has said that education, chastity and sexual fidelity are the responsible methods to combat AIDS after Spanish bishops supported condom use to fight the disease but then quickly reversed their position.

The Vatican has come under fire from AIDS activists because it forbids use of condoms, even to prevent transmission of the HIV virus. "The Holy See ... considers that it is necessary above all to combat this disease in a responsible way by increasing prevention, notably through education about respect of the sacred value of life and formation about the correct practice of sexuality, which presupposes chastity and fidelity,'' John Paul said.

The pope's comments came days after Spanish bishops made front-page headlines by announcing an apparent change in policy toward condom use. The pope told members of a Vatican council on health care issues that they should pay special attention to AIDS victims.

FDA Delays Morning After Pill

US regulators have delayed a decision on whether to approve over-the-counter sales of a Barr Pharmaceuticals "morning-after pill" to prevent pregnancy, prompting a lawsuit from a women's rights group.

Barr said it was optimistic the Food and Drug Administration ultimately would grant its request to sell the product, called Plan B, without a prescription to women and girls age 16 and older. The FDA said it would complete its review "in the near future," according to a statement from Barr. Plan B, sold now only by prescription, is an emergency contraceptive that may prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours after sexual intercourse.

The FDA is under political pressure from advocates and opponents of expanding access to Plan B. Women's groups argue it would reduce abortions, while some conservatives say it would lead to more promiscuity and sexually transmitted diseases, especially among teenagers," despite studies that show it has no impact on women's sexual behavior.

Plan B is different from RU-486, a pill that causes an abortion early in pregnancy. RU-486 also is known as Mifeprex or mifepristone.

Repairing damaged DNA seems to affect a woman's chance of developing breast cancer. Deficient DNA repair appears to triple the risk of breast cancer, researchers have found.

The average percentage of damaged DNA that could be repaired was significantly lower in the breast cancer patients than in their unaffected siblings, investigators reported in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Obscenity Laws Ruled Unconstitutional

In a decision that is bound to have enormous impact on the Adult entertainment industry, obscenity charges against producer Rob Black and his wife Lizzy Borden of Extreme Associates were thrown out of court today by a federal judge in Pittsburgh. All ten counts were dismissed as US District Court Judge Gary Lancaster made the dismissal on the grounds that obscenity laws are unconstitutional.

“We find that the federal obscenity statutes place a burden on the exercise of the fundamental rights of liberty, privacy and speech,” wrote Judge Lancaster in his opinion. The judge based his decision on the Supreme Court’s Lawrence vs. Texas ruling last year, which struck down a Texas sodomy statute. Lawrence v. Texas said in effect that the government can no longer use “compelling interest” as a rationale for suppressing what adults many do in private. The Black ruling extends this concept to Adult entertainment. In effect, you should be able to see what you’re able to do.

Judge Lancaster’s opinion: “After Lawrence, the government can no longer rely on the advancement of a moral code, i.e., preventing consenting adults from entertaining lewd or lascivious thoughts, as a legitimate, let alone a compelling state interest.”

Walters cautioned that since the case ended in a dismissal, not an acquittal, the government will likely appeal.

Inside Deep Throat Documentary

"Inside Deep Throat" is a documentary that premiered this month at the Sundance Film Festival. It examines the legacy of the 1972 flick, a forerunner of today's hardcore adult-entertainment industry and a touchstone for obscenity laws.

"Deep Throat" was shot for $25,000 in just six days. Its male star was a film-crew member shoved in front of the camera as a last-minute replacement. Its director readily conceded it was not even a good movie. Yet it was a cultural phenomenon whose theatrical grosses are estimated at $600 million, and it became an emblem of decadence for anti-pornography crusaders and the namesake for an informer who helped bring down a president.

"Inside Deep Throat" - produced by Brian Grazer, whose films include "Apollo 13" and "A Beautiful Mind" - opens theatrically in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston and five other cities Feb. 11. Grazer had been contemplating a film about "Deep Throat" star Linda Lovelace, who died in a 2002 car crash, but found the focus too narrow. "I was less interested in the story of Linda Lovelace and more on the movie's effect on popular culture," Grazer said.

Porn movies previously had been made under the thin guise of sober sex-education films, but "Deep Throat" had an irreverent attitude. Co-star Harry Reems, the lighting director on the film who stepped in after the original male lead did not work out, played a doctor helping a patient played by Lovelace cope with an unusual "condition" - a sexually sensitive area at the back of her throat. "It was the first porn film to drop any pretense that it had educational value," said Reems, now a real-estate broker in Park City. "There was no socially redeeming value, and so the word of mouth went out from people who saw it saying 'This is just a comedy. It's great. You've got to see this."

Its director, Jerry Damiano, said he did not think "Deep Throat" was a good movie, yet it overcame its preposterous story and cheesy production values. After "Deep Throat" opened in Times Square, attention from media critics and outraged conservatives turned it into a must-see movie. Arriving amid the women's liberation movement, "Deep Throat" was also heralded as a celebration of female sexual fulfillment. "It was the first time respectable middle-class women went to porn theaters," social critic Camille Paglia says in an interview in "Inside Deep Throat."

Other cultural commentators appearing in the documentary include Norman Mailer, Ruth Westheimer, Gore Vidal, Erica Jong and Hugh Hefner. Incorporating explicit oral-sex footage from the 1972 original, "Inside Deep Throat" has drawn an NC-17 rating, prohibiting people younger than 17 from seeing it. Showing the notorious sex act was necessary for the documentary, said "Inside Deep Throat" directors Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, the filmmakers behind such acclaimed documentaries as "Party Monster" and "The Eyes of Tammy Faye." "There was no way we were going to make a film called `Inside Deep Throat' without including the act," Barbato said. "Our film is not salacious or gratuitous. That scene needed to be in there."

The movie was so ingrained in popular culture that "Deep Throat" became the nickname of the source who helped Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein investigate the Watergate scandal that led to President Nixon's resignation. "Deep Throat" was the object of repeated legal assaults by anti-smut forces. The most notable case was aimed at Reems, who was convicted of obscenity in 1976 and faced a potential five-year prison term.

Celebrities including Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty came to Reems' defense, and the conviction was overturned. What happened to its supposed $600 million in theatrical revenues is a mystery. Lovelace, Reems and director Damiano never got any of it. Normal film-distribution channels were closed to "Deep Throat" because of its subject matter, so much of the distribution was handled by outfits linked to organized crime.

Theaters were visited daily by bagmen who collected the receipts in cash. There was no formal accounting and everyone involved skimmed off a piece of the action, Bailey and Barbato said. "I suppose it's kind of Hollywood-like," Bailey said. "The money just disappears."

Marriage Protection Amendment

Senator Wayne Allard (R-CO) has reintroduced the Marriage Protection Amendment (MPA) on the Senate floor making it one of the first items of business in the first full week of President Bush’s second term.

In light of the many serious issues that our country is facing, it is absolutely outrageous that a small group of right-wing Senators would make discriminating against gays and lesbian people their TOP priority right now. But just as we did during the past two bouts with the Amendment last year, the Human Rights Campaign will fight them every step of the way. Here’s what you can do now to stop this hateful amendment:

1) Write your Senators today and urge them to oppose the newly reintroduced Marriage Protection Amendment and ANY efforts to put discrimination in our Constitution. Click here to send an e-mail now.

2) Follow up your e-mail with a phone call. After you’ve sent your e-mails, make a phone call to each of your Senators as well. You can call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your Senators' office.

Use your own words to let your Senators know about your opposition, or follow our script:

“My name is _________ and I live in the Senator’s state. I am calling to urge the Senator to oppose the so-called ‘Marriage Protection Amendment’ that will discriminate against same-sex couples. This amendment does nothing to ‘protect’ marriage. Instead, it singles out a group of people for discrimination in the United States Constitution. The Constitution has always been used to guarantee rights and freedoms, not to take them away. I strongly urge the Senator to oppose the amendment.

Thank you.

3) Spread the word. Our combined response must be loud and immediate. There is no doubt that the extreme right-wing has already begun mobilizing their activists. We must drown them out by being louder, larger, and more organized.

As you might guess, the legislators behind this amendment are responding to a small but vocal group of right wing individuals and organizations who try to discriminate against the gay and lesbian community at every turn. It is the job of fair-minded Americans like us to tell them that they are wrong. Thank you for your immediate action today. We are glad you are with us, and urge you to stay tuned for news about what’s next.

Sincerely,

Armpit Sweat Great Pheromone For Sex!

Researchers claim women who wore perfume with an added chemical found in female sweat were more likely to have sex than those who did not. The pheromone Athena 10:13 works naturally for younger women as a "sexual attractant" but levels fall after the menopause reports the Mirror. In the Harvard University-linked study, 22 post-menopausal women used the chemical while 22 others used a placebo.

Unsafe Sex Making US Standout

The public health burden related to unsafe sexual activity is three times higher in the US than in other developed nations, according to researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly all the premature deaths and adverse health consequences are preventable. Sexual behavior can lead to a variety of harmful consequences, such as unintended pregnancies and infections.

20 million cases of adverse health conditions (7532 per 100,000 population) and 30,000 deaths (1.3 percent of US deaths) were a consequence of unsafe sexual behavior. The majority of this public health burden falls on women - 62 percent of behavior-related adverse health events. Cervical cancer was the leading cause of sex-related mortality among women, followed by HIV. Men suffered the majority of deaths (66 percent), primarily from HIV.

Unsafe Sex With Parental Notification

The Journal of the American Medical Association has shown that laws that would require parents to be notified when teens seek birth control would do little to curb underage sex and could cause a troubling number of girls to engage in unsafe intercourse.

Parental-notification proposals that would affect federally funded clinics have been repeatedly introduced in Congress in the past few years. Local laws are already in place in Texas, Utah and in McHenry County, Ill.

School Board Opposes Abstinence-only
Sex Ed Video

The Washoe County district’s SHARE sex education advisory committee rejected the video last year on a vote of 8-2. In a letter to the board of trustees, SHARE committee member Nancy Lim criticized the video for suggesting that condoms “don’t work” and for potentially inspiring irrational fears. “The over-hyped, fear-based tone was felt to be a turnoff for many teens who most needed to hear the abstinence message,” Lim said.

“Examples of the alarmist format included blood dripping into a sink when a link was drawn between teen suicide rates and teen sexuality.” The video was introduced to the board by trustee Lezlie Porter, the only member who voted in favor of it. Porter said the video offers updated, scientific information to teens. She said it would be an improvement over the current seventh-grade sex-education video used in the district, which Porter called a “talking head” video. The video currently used in the district was produced in the late 1980s by a pathologist at the University of Nevada, Reno.

“There’s no compelling message” in the current tape, Porter said. “It’s just, ‘Here’s an STD, here’s what it looks like, now onto the next one.’ ” Porter said the proposed video would give children more clear direction on the dangers of extramarital sex. “I think the message of (the proposed) video is that kids need to be careful, and that abstinence is the best choice,” Porter said.

Trustee Jonnie Pullman, who voted against adopting the proposed video, called the video “sensationalized.” “I really did expect to support this film. And I don’t,” Pullman said. “It reminds me of a few videos I saw in school. One was ‘Red Highways.’ ” Pullman referred to an education film from a genre infamous for scaring teenagers with graphic depictions of car accidents. Trustee Barbara Price said the proposed video could be harmful to students. “In several instances throughout the film, … kids could be led to believe that if you’re sexually active, depression can follow and also suicide,” Price said.
