FREE BIRTH CONTROL!!!

Today is a big day for women in these here United States!! On or after August 1st, 2012, health insurance plans will cover preventative services, which includes free birth control!!! Now, if you are covered under health insurance, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS. Of course, do your research. Not everyone is fit to be on birth control, and not everyone should be on the pill versus the shot, versus the patch, versus the rings. But do your research and rejoice that this is a big step towards women's health!!! From TheStir (click here to read the whole article!): "The regulation will see to it that various other recommended preventative health services are made more affordable to women. In other words, they'll be available without a co-payment. The services include: well-woman visits screening for gestational diabetes human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing for women 30 years and older sexually-transmitted infection counseling human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening an

Author of the Day: Alfred Kinsey

Alfred Kinsey Alfred Kinsey was a psychologist and biologist who published studies in human sexuality. In 1947, he founded his Institute for Sex Research, where he and his colleagues interviewed thousands and thousands of people about their sex lives, which Kinsey then published in two books-- Sexual Behavior in the Human Male and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female , otherwise known as the 'Kinsey Report.' His reports covered all kinds of things, like orgasm, masturbation, fantasies, foreplay, extramarital sex, homosexuality, and more. Unfortunately, he died young at the age of 62 in 1956. One article points out that while Kinsey's research was ground-breaking and interesting, it was probably flawed. He would meet his participants anywhere he could, and people would come to him to volunteer for his tests. This means the people that volunteered were probably not shy about sex and probably had very outgoing sex lives, which could skew his information. Despite any

PENIS!!!

Especially chocolate ones!!! Click on the picture to buy. Who doesn't like a good penis? But who actually knows that much about them? Just like any other organ, the penis is interesting and important. I found this awesome article on webmd about penis facts. I will briefly explain the article, but please go check it out: WebMD--Five Things You Didn't Know About your Penis . 1. Penises are part of the autonomic nervous system, the part of the nervous system that controls your heart and blood pressure. Are you able to control your heart rate and blood pressure? Usually if you really focus, you can bring it up or down,and that's just how your penis is. This is why erections may happen out of nowhere, and you may not be able to control them (like when you're sleeping!). This is why stress and other psychological problems can decrease sex drive or cause Erectile Dysfunction--you might want sex, but your body is just not 'up' to it. 2. Penises are either 'g

Make-Up Sex

This is a shorter post, because there's not a ton to say about it. What is make-up sex and does it work? Turn this... Make-up sex is having sex during or after a fight with your partner, in order to 'fix' the problem. When you're in a heated situation, the brain releases adrenaline and dopamine. Adrenaline, as most people know, gives you energy and gets you hyped up, and dopamine is the feel-good chemical. Dopamine is released when we are very happy or enjoying something. So the fact that these two are released during a fight can be responsible for making the blood rush downwards. But why would you want to have sex when you're angry? Well, an article in PsychologyToday says that pain and pleasure are very closely related. This is because of those chemicals that are released. This is also the reason that people abuse drugs. Though the pain of the drug sucks, it still gives them that feel-good feeling mentally. The most interesting theory is the one of being tr
