Young men fake orgasms

Its sort of a standing joke when my friends and I speak about orgasms that many women have faked an orgasm. Rarely is it mentioned that young men ALSO fake orgasms. According to research published in the November issue of 'The Journal of Sex research' 25% of men also fake orgasm. Go here to read more.

university for one sex:transgender??

This is a great post from 15 year old Sex etc blogger Leo Johnson:

Imagine it. You’ve been attending the college of your dreams for three years. But there’s a problem: you’re at a men’s college, but you’ve come to identify as a woman. Or maybe you’re a woman at a women’s college, and you’ve come to identify as a man. Even if you were at a co-ed college, transitioning between genders is difficult, and it can complicate everything from choosing which bathroom you use at a restaurant to your photo ID.
So, what do you do when you’ve been attending a single-sex college, and you finally gained the confidence to start transitioning to a different gender? The coming out process isn’t instantaneous. Your friends may know when your family doesn’t, and people you have personal relationships with will almost certainly know before college administration. Should single-sex colleges demand that all trans people leave the instant they start to transition? That seems a tad unreasonable. If trans people aren’t being kicked out immediately, when should they have to leave, if at all?
Trans students have paid tuition, attended classes and done work the same as any other students. They may no longer fulfill a school’s gender or sex requirement for admission, but they’ve already been admitted. Kicking them out could easily be seen as punishing them for being a transgender person.
This isn’t a question with an easy answer. And as long as we only define people as either male or female, there will always be problems with this system, in every imaginable place.

A Life Free of Violence is Our Right

Free SHAW resources

SHAW is a SHine SA initiative that runs from 14-21 February every year and targets young adults between 18 and 30 years.

Sex is something that is not often publicly discussed, although it is a part of our everyday lives; on television, in magazines, on billboards, on the Web. The images we see promote sexuality, but don’t teach us how to be responsible for our sexual health. Sexual health awareness is not just about preventing diseases, it’s also about open communication and acceptance of individual differences, resulting in realistic expectations and an understanding of sexuality and relationships.

Sexual Health Awareness Week aims to broaden people's understanding of sexual health and relationships, raising awareness of sexual health issues in South Australia.
The focus for 2011 is choices in contraception with the theme of Your Life. Your Contraception. Your Choice. 50 years ago the Pill revolutionised contraception. Now there are many different options. It’s your choice. Choose what is right for you.

Orders will be processed in early February to ensure that you have them for Sexual Health Awareness Week

Breath and sex

Have you ever wondered what breathing has to do with sex? No? well have a read of the below blurb from my favourite blog sexuality.about.com. There is a discussion about how important breathing is for healthy satisfying sex, but also about breathing, sex and people with chronic pulmonary disease. Very interesting.

November is COPD Awareness Month. In case you are like about half the people who could be diagnosed with COPD, which is to say, unaware of it, COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease which is an umbrella term that describes a range of lung disorders, all of which lead to narrowing or blockage of the airways in your lungs.
One of my favorite sex educators, and author of Urban Tantra, Barbara Carrellas often says that sex travels on the breath. Certainly without breath there is no sex. But this doesn't mean one has to breath a certain way, or even breathe on their own, to have breath and to have sex. The relationship between breath and sex is intense, and also complex.

“Glee” Girls Gone Wild – Why GQ’s Pictorial Has Me Seeing Red

By Womens Voices Published: November 8, 2010

Written by Alexandra MacAaron, originally posted on Women’s Voices for Change.

The sexification of schoolgirls is nothing new.

From Humbert Humbert’s masturbatory musings on nymphets to Britney Spears’ pouty parochial school student in “Hit Me Baby One More Time,” apparently there’s something about a short pleated skirt and pigtails that drives men wild.

So why are so many people upset by the pictorial in the current issue of GQ?

Because of “Glee.” Those half-naked schoolgirls with the come hither eyes aren’t just any models. They’re the girls of “Glee.”

I’m a Gleek, I admit it. In fact, I was an early adopter, faithfully following the scrappy show choir at McKinley High before it became so fashionable. My tween daughter and I curl up together to watch it every week. We even made a pilgrimage down to Radio City Music Hall to catch them in concert (which I wrote about for Women’s Voices for Change). The show has always pushed the envelope, but has also dealt with a lot of difficult topics — teen homosexuality, teen pregnancy, racism, kids with physical and mental disabilities — and done so with candor, understanding, and affection.
