    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+tension" rel="tag">Sexual tension</a> can make or break a relationship. In most cases, relationships tend to blossom further thanks to the presence of sexual tension that keeps both the couple wanting more of each other. However, there are times when too much of a sexual tension hints a different message to you partner. Knowing to build to right amount of sexual tension with your partner can reward you with a long lasting relationship.<br><br><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/men+and+women" rel="tag">Men and women</a> have different definitions to the mysterious idea of 'sexual tension'. For women, sexual tension would refer to the feeling when she talks to the person that she feels attraction for. The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/possibilities" rel="tag">possibilities</a> of what is going to happen next create this tension within her, and hence making her wait in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/anticipation" rel="tag">anticipation</a>. Sexual tension makes a woman ask if the guy is really into her, if he is going to kiss her and such. <br><br>The problem arises when only one party feels the tension. When this happens, chances are whatever hope of seeing <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sparks" rel="tag">sparks</a> flying is diminished. For a relationship to blossom, sexual tension must be felt between both the couple. This sexual tension will be the secret tool that helps to bind the couple together, emotionally and physically. It is difficult to tell if the guy you are talking to is having the same sexual tension, hence the only way is only to kiss and tell.<br><br>It is definitely not possible to hide your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+tensions" rel="tag">sexual tensions</a> in front of a person you are attracted to. But the only way to test if the person is really into you is to make your sexual tensions known. <br><br>To do so, guys would usually use this sleek method: When you are having your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/first+kiss" rel="tag">first kiss</a>, push her away and shake your head. She might feel rejected, but she will definitely come back for more. By doing this, you are creating a sexual tension and she will be even more drawn to you.<br><br>Too much of sexual tension however, might harm your relationship. By "running away" from her, ignoring her and depriving her of some love would give her the impression that you are not crazy about her. As much as we hate to say it, women love the attention that men offer. But if you think that creating as much sexual tension as possible will help, then you are very wrong.<br><br>Instead, be wise with your actions and know when the exact moment to create those tensions is. There is every opportunity to turn up the tension in your everyday life. <br><br>Be it while you are having dinner with her or just a nice walk at the park, sexual tension can easily be created to spice up the relationship. As mentioned before, creating sexual tension is good, as long as you know how to limit them and not make her feel cheated of her feelings.<br><br>No one has the exact definition of the 'sexual tension.' But if you don't feel it, it just means that she is not the one for you. Learning to use sexual tension to heighten the feeling and being loved and wanted is definitely useful. Just keep in mind to keep it on a limit.<bio>Michael Dat specialises in dating techniques for men.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Treating male <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+impotency" rel="tag">sexual impotency</a> together as a couple can be an effective way to deal with this <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/delicate+issue" rel="tag">delicate issue</a>. Male sexual impotency can involve a number of factors and more often than not the root cause is found to be of a physiological or psychological nature. Seeking treatment for sexual impotency as a couple involves a number of issues such as what type of couple would this type of treatment be most suited to and what type of couple is likely to achieve positive results from this approach. This article will give some ideas of the type of couple most suitable for treating male sexual impotency as a couple. <br /><br /> First of all the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/couple+need" rel="tag">couple need</a> to be able to communicate and not be embarrassed to openly discuss the most intimate sexual issues within their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/relationship" rel="tag">relationship</a>. They need to be forthcoming about their feelings, desires and problems with these issues. They must be able to view the male sexual impotency as a joint problem without apportioning blame to one partner or the other. Treating male sexual impotency together as a couple can only be successful if the couple are committed to working through the course of treatment together. <br /><br /> Secondly, the couple must possess a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/good+sense+of+humour" rel="tag">good <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sense+of+humour" rel="tag">sense of humour</a></a>. Whilst the problem of male sexual impotency is a serious issue within the relationship, it is important not to be stressed out by it. Humour often helps to deal with the treatment and keep matters in a proper perspective. <br /><br /> Thirdly, the couple need to deal with and openly discuss their sexual history not just in their own relationship but maybe also in previous relationships. This can often lead to identifying a 'crack' in their relationship which can lead to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/proactive+measures" rel="tag">proactive measures</a> within the treatment program to repair the crack. Male sexual impotency is a delicate issue for discussion within this context and will require a high level of commitment from both sides to achieve a positive result. <br /><br /> Finally, the couple need to appreciate that there is unlikely to be an immediate short term solution particularly if the problem is of a psychological nature. They must be realistic about the outcome of a course of treatment for male sexual impotency and accept that it may take some time for the full extent of the treatment to take effect.  <bio>For more information on Male Sexual Impotency visit <a href="http://www.aboutinfertilitysite.com/" >http://www.aboutinfertilitysite.com/</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Lepers were shunned in ancient times partly because they were a contagious group, but more so because they had a repulsive appearance. Any serious skin condition is a signal to the observer that the other person has a problem: whatever the problem may be, the signal is negative, and attraction is not sparked. While we are much more sophisticated today about skin disorders there remains an innate negative quality about unattractive skin. This is mainly because of the sexual nature of skin. Skin is the largest and most visible sex organ in the body. All <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+activity" rel="tag">sexual activity</a> starts with an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/initial+attraction" rel="tag">initial attraction</a> between partners, and without <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mutual+attraction" rel="tag">mutual attraction</a> nothing else happens, or even matters as far as sex goes. Attractiveness is the alpha and omega of all sexual activity, an attribute in which nature has invested vast resources. <br /><br /> Plants and animals that reproduce sexually require some type of attraction mechanism to draw the male and female together. These mechanisms are of four basic types: chemical, visual, auditory and tactile. The higher the life form the more mechanisms employed by the organism. Mammals for example often use all four mechanisms, while lower forms may use only one, or two. The female firefly uses visual <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/light+signals" rel="tag">light signals</a>, while female moths use a sexual scent called a pheromone. In this series we are concerned about the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/visual+signals" rel="tag">visual signals</a> produced by the skin, though the skin also produces <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/chemical+signals" rel="tag">chemical signals</a> which play a role as well. Many surveys show that sexual turnoffs are related to defects in skin and hair. In humans <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+attraction" rel="tag">sexual attraction</a> is mainly visual so our topic is how to maximize your attractiveness through healthy skin. <br /><br /> Our appearance, how others see us, is the key message that we send each time we meet an individual, long before we say a single word. Looking attractive and feeling good about how we look sends a powerful, positive message. My aim is that you will have an appreciation of the incredible wonder, beauty, and excitement of life and how you can enjoy these gifts for many years. A few items I must set straight from the beginning. <br /><br /> I know of no better way to absolutely guarantee ugly skin than cigarette smoking. Smoking is a prime example of how people try to be happy by employing a destructive process. Ask any smoker why they smoke and they will all answer that "they enjoy it". I cannot believe that these people are ignorant of the fact that they are injuring their bodies. If you want to smoke, that is your business, but remember you will have poor health and ugly skin and that is not what this book is about. In a later chapter we present a discussion of just what cigarette smoking does to skin. <br /><br /> If you are overweight you will need to lose that weight if you are really seriously interested in being healthy and attractive. I know that the subject of "overweight" is controversial and fraught with political land mines. The facts are simple. The body is not designed to carry and service that extra burden, so it taxes all you physiological systems. Carrying extra weight has no merits, and is not beneficial by any stretch of the mind. It does matter how overweight you are and for how long, but the real key to successful weight control is understanding the reason you are overweight and correcting that reason. Here is one appearance guide to go by, whether you are a man or a woman, your waist must be smaller than your hips. If you cannot define a waist you are overweight and there are no exceptions. This is important for a number of reasons, one of which is the cardiovascular association, but equally important is the attraction process. To the opposite sex, a waist that is smaller than the hips is a powerful sexual attraction. We shall discuss why later.   <bio>Peter T.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+abuse" rel="tag">Sexual abuse</a> is a common area of abuse effecting many people in their lives. Sexual abuse begins with a predator; this predator may attack or use molestation to get what he or she wants. Most predators are considered male, with only 2% of reported cases being that of women. Sexual abuse ranges from <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/rape" rel="tag">rape</a> to molestation; very traumatic instances have also been reported as sexual abusers have killed and murdered their victims. <br /><br /> Sexual abuse involving women and rape is on the rise and carries many problems. To hel combat the problems that face the sexually abused, hospitals carry "rape kits" that help get evidence to use in order to press charges using DNA results on the abuser. Also, law enforcement would be involved to arrest and provide a warrant against the abuser also. <br /><br /> Sexual abuse has occurred many times to children. Being fondled inappropriately by an elder has occurred or some report major include issues like intercourse with a child or teen or even, in some cases, rape. The reasons behind abuse from a known predator is not known. Some people do believe it is an illness and some believe that it is a something of physical nature and/or an activity that acts as a stimulant.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Sexual abuse is linked to many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/serial+killers" rel="tag">serial killers</a> and also many molesters themselves. Many famed serial killers as Richard Ramirez ( the Night Stalker) had issues in the past of sexual abuse. This sometimes brings sexual abusers and the sexual abused into focus by saying that "he did it, so its okay for me me to do it". <br /><br /> Sexual abuse can be traumatically linked sometimes to diseases such as AIDS, DID and also night terrors. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexually+abused+children" rel="tag">Sexually abused children</a> also may have night terrors from being molested; these are also known to be <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/warning+signs" rel="tag">warning signs</a>. Other warning signs include frantic behavior and hallucinations or "flashbacks" due to the severity of the sexual abuse. <br /><br /> In order to protect the public against those that sexually abuse, some abusers must sign up in states where they live as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+predators" rel="tag">sexual predators</a>. This locates them and what neighborhood they live in. It also gives their age and descriptions so that people know the whereabouts of where someone lives and how they can protect their neighbors and their children. But sometimes thats all they can do because, in most cases, the offender will be a repeat offender. <br /><br /> Sexual abuse is traumatic for the abused. Sometimes suicide has occurred by someone who never was able to get help for the circumstances for which they where abused. Usually, a therapist or psychologist is needed in this span of time to help the individual heal and become able to cope with themselves and the terror that surrounds them. Also available are supports groups and hospital organizations that may help the sexually abused. <br /><br /> Sexual abuse has its warning signs also from small children not "playing" with certain elders or friends or crying when in their presence. Also, for women who have been raped, night terrors and also constant sobbing is another sign of recent or past abuse.   <bio><a href="http://www.theabusesite.com/sexualabuse.html" >http://www.theabusesite.com/sexualabuse.html</a> brings you the latest news on sexual abuse.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Our overall appearance is what we present to the world, but we see each other first in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/bits+and+pieces" rel="tag">bits and pieces</a>. When we meet a new person we look at the mouth first, specifically at the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/teeth" rel="tag">teeth</a>.  Why? Because the teeth can hurt us, they bite! This is an early protective mechanism, developed long before we could speak, to identify friend from foe. Today we smile to assure the person we meet that we are friendly, our teeth are not in a biting position. (You can laugh with your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mouth+open" rel="tag">mouth open</a>, but try to smile with your mouth open, it looks <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ridiculous" rel="tag">ridiculous</a>.) <br /><br /> Next we look at the eyes to make sure the smile is real. A lower face smile is a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fake+smile" rel="tag">fake smile</a>. If the eyes do not light up with a smile, we are put on alert that perhaps this person is not hostile, but is not friendly either. After checking the eyes we look at the skin of the face, then the hair on the head and finally the rest of the body is given a quick once over.  All this is done for two reasons. The first is for protection, and the second is for reproduction. We shall decide in a matter of second whether or not that person will be a sexual, or non-sexual partner purely from appearance sake. If you have already made a life long commitment to a mate and yet find the other person attractive, your higher brain center will say to you, "Back off, this is a non-mate". If you do not heed this instruction immediately you have set yourself up for trouble.  But you already know that. <br /><br /> The need for approval is the need for acceptance, for humans are not designed to live alone. To live alone, without daily <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/human+contact" rel="tag">human contact</a> and without love, is a slow, destructive process except for a relatively few people who are solitary types. The need to be attractive is an inborn sexual mechanism that stays with us for life. As noted above, every animal has some sexually attractive feature, be it bright feathers or a lion's mane, it is always there. Humans have developed very subtle sexual attraction mechanisms, but our skin is one of the most important of all. <br /><br /> The attractive person gets the best job in most instances, gets the most attractive mate and usually makes the most money.  Every woman I have known, including my wife, has a sense of insecurity about how she looks. No matter how beautiful she may be, the insecurity is there. I am now convinced that this is truly a genetic mechanism specific to women. While men surely are aware of the importance of appearance they are, as a group, less occupied with how they look than women. This may be a burden to women, but I believe God in the design of women, has given each woman a very special appeal, unique to her and to her alone. If women could sense this special trait and maximize it, perhaps then they would spend less time worrying about how other women look. <br /><br /> One Last Item: The knowledge gained by scientific research has opened new frontiers. I say frontiers because that is all they are. We are only at the beginning of great discoveries in our understanding of biological mechanisms. Our knowledge of biology, while awesome compare to 50 years ago, still is quite primitive. This is not said to downplay the significant discoveries that have been made, but to emphasize that the best is yet to come, every true scientist knows that quite well.  Aging is tied to sexual activity in a complex way, more complex than we can enter into in this book. My goal is that you will have acquired the basis to appreciate the relationship between attractiveness and sexual activity, and how a longer happier life can result from maximizing both of these marvelous gifts of God.   <bio>Peter T.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[A <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/passionate+marriage" rel="tag">passionate marriage</a> is not simply a cure for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+desires" rel="tag">sexual desires</a> or sexual dysfunctions but it is instrumental for a life-long sexual development.<br><br>They say people get better in bed as they get older. In general, people who are into 40s, 50s, and 60s can reach their sexual potential. This fact will show how your relationship with yourself controls <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/intimate+relation" rel="tag">intimate relation</a> and sexual desire for your partner. According to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sex+researchers" rel="tag">sex researchers</a>, married couples have more sex, more varied sex and more emotionally and physically satisfying sex than singles.<br><br>When sex works well in marriage, it can add a great deal to a couples' happiness. Sex can lead to as much as 15% to 20% increase in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/marital+satisfaction" rel="tag">marital satisfaction</a>. And when a passionate marriage clicks well, it clicks extremely well. However, when sex doesn't click well, it's dreadful. When sex doesn't work, it can subtract 50% to 70% of marital satisfaction.<br><br>Here are some tips for maintaining a passionate marriage:<br><br>1. Never blend fantasy to create a passionate marriage.<br>2. Continue your separate interests to prolong a passionate marriage.<br>3. Freshness is the means to a passionate marriage.<br>4. Boost your self-esteem by making something out of yourself.<br>5. Keep eye contact with each other out of bed.<br>6. Give each other a hug to relax.<br><br>If your marriage is similar to that of others, and you are scared, angry, vindictive, or have a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/lazy+side" rel="tag">lazy side</a> which restricts the quality of a sexual relationship, there will be a lot of things at stake in trying to make or keep a passionate marriage alive. If you are less passionate or sex is less exciting than on your first mating, it doesn't mean that your marriage is in trouble. However, it is the cause of lack of intimacy and passion in a relationship.<br><br>In addition, passionate marriage needs each person to confront the fear of defining him or herself while drawing closer to his/her partner. This process is known to be differentiation, and it involves changing the way you think about marriage. Marriage is not only a union of two persons but it is a process of learning new things about you. In this way, you will know that you are distinct from your partner and will draw you nearer to him/her.<br><br>Sexual encounters will provide you a perfect chance to differentiate and develop the strength to love deeply. A combination of humor and compassion will help you to have personal, marital and sexual fulfillment. Every sexual experience, from kissing to bold erotic conduct, is a realistic image of the way your partner and you feel about each other and yourselves outside the bedroom.<br><br>Well, rather than rushing into activities together so as to fashion or rejuvenate a passionate marriage, it's best to begin with the personal ardor that made you appealing and fascinating to your partner in the first place. Go out with your buddies to a museum -- and bring back to the marriage a fresh sense of excitement and passion.<br><br>Passionate marriage is beyond treating sexual dysfunction to achieve sexual potential but it could help you to extract the best in you, to build an energizing adult sexuality.<bio>For more information on <a href="http://www.passionatemarriages.com/">Passionate Marriages</a> please visit our website.</bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/human+pheromones" rel="tag">Human pheromones</a> are natural chemicals produced by the body that are thought to cause the attraction between <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/opposite+sex" rel="tag">opposite sex</a>es.<br /><br />While it is believed that there is some connection, the real analysis lies in how much do human pheromones and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+attraction" rel="tag">sexual attraction</a> depend on each other. <br /><br /> Scientists have determined a marked difference in the pheromones between males and females. It has also been looked at as to why there are different pheromones for each gender. <br /><br /> Since there are still some unexplored aspects of human pheromones, there are also different opinions on its effectiveness. Some scientists do not believe pheromones are as important in humans as they are in other species. <br /><br /> Makers of synthetic human pheromones believe that they are very important in sexual attraction. In fact, these manufacturers sell these <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/synthetic+pheromones" rel="tag">synthetic pheromones</a> on the basis that they will help a person attract someone of the opposite sex. These <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/synthetic+hormones" rel="tag">synthetic hormones</a> are used as a perfume or added to a perfume. <br /><br /> The idea is that by supplementing your own pheromones you will become more attractive to the opposite sex. <br /><br /> The use and effectiveness of pheromones in the animal kingdom seem to suggest that they will perform the same function with humans as well. Many people swear by using the synthetic pheromones to get a date. <br /><br /> It is all a matter of personal experience, really, because science still seems to be at odds with itself over conclusive proof. The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/most+important+thing" rel="tag">most important thing</a> is if you can prove it to yourself that there is a link between human pheromones and sexual attraction. <br /><br /> Satisfied and repeat customers are usually a good indication whether there is substance behind claims, and in this case it would seem to prove that human pheromones and sexual attraction are linked. Many customers buy again and again and will testify that the pheromones work.   <bio>Tisha Diaz recommends scented and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/unscented+pheromones" rel="tag">unscented pheromones</a> for men and women at <a href="http://www.pheromonespro.com/" >http://www.pheromonespro.com/</a> where you can also get free pheromone samples and more in-depth information in the pheromone community forums.  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Whether you like it or not, good looks do matter. And this is especially true if you are female. You see, it's true what they say, men are more visual, as opposed to women who are more cerebral and tactile. As this is so, there is more pressure on your part to look attractive. <br /><br /> Men's Preference for Good Looking Women has Its Evolutionary Roots <br /><br /> Men's tendency to prefer women with good looks has its evolutionary roots. You see, good looks are associated with physical health which is then associated with reproductive health. Men's ability to produce an offspring, on the other hand, is less associated with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/physical+attractiveness" rel="tag">physical attractiveness</a>. <br /><br /> Aside from attractiveness to the opposite sex, looking good has many other implications. Physical attractiveness has many social effects. Attractive people tend to be ahead in the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/social+sphere" rel="tag">social sphere</a>. Good-looking men and women do better in their professional lives - less attractive people (based on self-perception) tend to earn 13% less then attractive people. They also get treated better by people of authority and tend to marry into prominent families. <br /><br /> What Makes for an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/attractive+person" rel="tag">Attractive Person</a>? <br /><br /> But what makes for an attractive person? People's perception of physical attractiveness stems from a combination of universal standard of beauty, culture-specific judgment of beauty, and personal subjective preference. <br /><br /> On a universal level, good looks are associated with good health. Basically, people with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/lustrous+hair" rel="tag">lustrous hair</a>, clear skin, clear eyes, and symmetrical features (all of which signify health) are considered attractive. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/perception+of+beauty" rel="tag">Perception of Beauty</a> Varies <br /><br /> Perception of beauty varies more on a cultural level. Some cultures prefer thinner women while others find voluptuous women more attractive. Some cultures give more preference to lighter, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fairer+skin" rel="tag">fairer skin</a>, while others like it dark or tanned. <br /><br /> Preference for physical attractiveness also varies in individuals. Social status and bearing have a lot of influence on this. As statistics would have it, those at a higher status in the Western setting prefer thinner and leaner women, while those at a lower class status prefer voluptuous women with bigger busts. <br /><br /> Work on Your Physical Attractiveness with Fredricks Coupon Codes <br /><br /> But then again, these are general findings and they don't necessarily tell what kind of women that hot guy you have a big crush on prefers. One thing's for sure though. You do have to take care of yourself. You must keep yourself looking good because whether you like it or not, it is important for your social existence. <br /><br /> So go on ahead and start pampering yourself. First things first, you must take care of your health. Remember, it's the one major factor associated with good looks and is the main reason why men developed such preference for beauty. Some of the most obvious signs of good health in women are shiny hair, clear skin and eyes, and a healthy figure. <br /><br /> Get a Load of Those Fredricks Coupon Codes <br /><br /> Also, you must feel good about yourself. You must feel comfortable with the way that you are. Your feeling of confidence and contentment is bound to radiate on your appearance. You will not fail at attracting people with this. <br /><br /> And oh, do not forget to feel comfortable and sexy in your outfit.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+harassment" rel="tag">Sexual harassment</a> is a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+advance" rel="tag">sexual advance</a>, whether pysical or verbal. These all become harassment when rejection or submission to such advances affect the employment of an individual, or if it affects the performance at work of a person. This means even jokes can count as harassment. There are many instances where sexual harassment occurs. The following are some of the examples of it, however keep in mind that they are not limited only to the following: <br /><br /> 1. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/man+or+woman" rel="tag">Man or woman</a> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+harasser" rel="tag">sexual harasser</a> <br /><br /> Keep in mind that the victim doesn't have to be a woman - it could bee a man. Harassment includes both physical or verbal conduct or advances. This conduct is just as common for both sexes, only men report it less to the police. <br /><br /> 2. It's all about control <br /><br /> Keep in mind that the one who is doing the harassing may be the supervisor of the victim, it could be the victims boss, the agent of the employer, a fellow worker, or someone who is not an employee. What sexual harassment is, it is a need for control. And anyone who has a need for this and gets it via being sexually aggressive could be constituted as a harasser. <br /><br /> 3. The victim could be you <br /><br /> Also, a victim of sexual harassment need not be the particular person who is harassed. A sexual <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/harassment+victim" rel="tag">harassment victim</a> could just be anyone who is affected by any conduct that is offensive. What is important is that the actions and overall conduct of the harasser is completely unwelcome. <br /><br /> It is also extremely important and helpful for any victim of sexual harassment to inform directly the perceived harasser if their conduct is offensive or completely unwelcome, and so therefore must be stopped. As much as possible, the victim should make use of any mechanisms available in the system, such as a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/grievance" rel="tag">grievance</a> complaint perhaps. <br /><br /> 4. Intimidation and hostility <br /><br /> These are the feelings or overall vibe of a workplace when there exists an environment where sexual harassment is present. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fortunately" rel="tag">Fortunately</a>, the Supreme Court of the United States have made employers liable for any sexual harassment that occurs within their own local workplaces. This applies even if the employer was himself not aware of any harassment that occurs. This is simply because it is one of the employers responsibility to create a work atmosphere that is free from sexual harassment, intimidation or hostility. <br /><br /> Prevention is worth more than a pound of cure <br /><br /> Prevention is always worth it more than a cure or tons of cases filed because there was no effective system in place to deal with sexual harassment in the first place. Employers must always communicate to their staff that any and all forms of harassment sexual or otherwise is not tolerable. A complaint and effective grievance system would work best, with actions appropriately taken once a complaint is filed by an employee. <br /><br /> 5. Make an anti-sexual harassment policy <br /><br /> It would serve everyones good if a program in the workplace exists that outlines in detail the policy that the company stands for that is against sexual harassment and make every employee sign it. It is to be kept in each ones personnel file.  Employees should also be notified of their particular rights and to report immediately any incidents of sexual harassment. Of course, the atmosphere where employees air and file their complaints must be open and free from fear. <br /><br /> 6. Train everyone concerned <br /><br /> Appropriately educating everyone in the workplace, from supervisors to managers to all of the employees concerned about their role in the company and their behavior while inside the workplace is important in establishing boundaries on how to act. <br /><br /> The issue is quite real and serious even today, and should not be brushed off as not important. It affects every aspect of the work environment and if not addressed appropriately it could bring down the law on the work place and could even financially affect the whole organization. It is important therefore to put in place pro-active measures to prevent unnecessary misunderstanding later on. If you can set a positive example the entire system will continue to run smoothly. If not, sexual harassment could crop up again and again.  <bio>For more great sexual harassment related articles and resources check out <a href="http://weknowsettlements.info" >http://weknowsettlements.info</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sex- the word itself brings about a wide range of reactions. While some might smile, others would be shocked at the use of the word publicly. We all are amused and intimidated by sex to a certain extent. And an even larger truth is that although a large number of people might be facing one or other kind of sexual issue/problem, there are very few who are aware of the problem, and a lesser number of those will have the guts to actually acknowledge it. It is often an unspoken taboo. In such a scenario going to a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hypnotherapist" rel="tag">hypnotherapist</a> too can become a problem, but once you make that leap of faith, things will only go uphill from there. <br /><br /> It might sound hard to believe, but like a lot of other problems, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+issues" rel="tag">sexual issues</a> also can be successfully dealt with, through <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hypnotherapy" rel="tag">hypnotherapy</a>. And as bizarre as it may sound, it might not be such a bad idea to approach a hypnotherapist for solutions to your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+problems" rel="tag">sexual problems</a>. It has been proven that hypnotherapy can very successfully solve a range of sexual problems such as impotency, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/premature+ejaculation" rel="tag">premature ejaculation</a>, frigidity and low <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sex+drive" rel="tag">sex drive</a> amongst others. Hypnotherapy is now available in High Wycombe and Buckinghamshire as well. <br /><br /> What a hypnotherapist does is that he actually tries to get to the core of the problem, and does not look at it just at face value. He delves into your subconscious mind, and takes you on a journey of discovery. Any sort of a sexual problem, could be either physiological or physical. In a surprisingly large number of cases, the physical symptoms are a by-product of the psychological problems. While undergoing hypnotherapy for sexual issues, the hypnotherapist gradually leads you to the actual problem. This might take some time and a lot of self- questioning. You and your hypnotherapist take this journey together, and the hypnotherapist is your guide in some ways. Once you have unraveled the actual incident which might have been the core issue behind your sexual issues, the healing process can start. Anxiety, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/commitment+phobia" rel="tag">commitment phobia</a>, negative self image and a childhood incident of abuse are just some of the reasons that could cause the problems. Hypnotherapy can definitely help you overcome these and a lot more and you can avail of its benefits in High Wycombe and Buckinghamshire. <br /><br /> One of the biggest advantages of hypnotherapy is that it allows you to get rid of a lot of the negative emotions that may be within you. And until these emotions are taken care of, one should not expect a breakthrough in the therapy, because the purpose of the therapy is to unravel your emotions and find out what it is that is causing the problem. Auto suggestions and positive reinforcements, are some of the techniques that help you in improving your self image and self worth...and this in turn also positively affects all other areas of your life.  To sum it all up, hypnotherapy will not only deal with your sexual problems, it is also the best tool to help you regain your confidence and self esteem.   <bio>Terry Doherty is a world renowned Hypnotherapist and life coach.

Something that for them is a bit unusual but is also a sexual turn on. By nature people are shy and easily embarrassed so most people are hesitant to admit their sexual fetish in public to friends and family but will sometimes share these fetishes with their spouse or sexual partner. <br><br>Some fetishes can be so extreme and bizarre that a person may be too embarrassed to share them with their mate. The fetish may become an obsession and the person will seek out others that already share this fetish in order to feel accepted and also to possibly meet up and engage in this unusual sexual activity with others that are in a "community" dedicated to the activity.<br><br>When we say extreme, we are talking about things such as cross dressing and forced feminization, including the use of female hormones.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ The Menace of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+harassment" rel="tag">Sexual Harassment</a> in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/memphis+schools" rel="tag">Memphis Schools</a> <br /><br /> Mention the words "sexual harassment" and images of leering executives making lewd comments to or in the presence of co-workers or employees comes to mind. We tend to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/associate" rel="tag">associate</a> sexual harassment as an adult phenomenon; the kind that gets men =96 and in rare cases women =96 in deep trouble, or at the very least leaves them with a lighter wallet. We don't associate it with young students in schools.<br /><br /><br /><br /> There is enough evidence to show that we should, at least where <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/memphis+city+schools" rel="tag">Memphis City schools</a> are concerned. The statistics speak for themselves. Studies conducted by <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/girls" rel="tag">Girls</a> for Change a program founded through the initiatives of the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/memphis+area" rel="tag">Memphis Area</a> Women's Council, Center for Research on Women and the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/university+of+memphis" rel="tag">University of Memphis</a> Women Studies program, has found shockingly high rates of sexual harassment against girls in the Memphis schools.<br /><br /><br /><br /> The girls surveyed were between the ages of 13 to 17 and were middle or high schoolers in Memphis schools. Close to 76% reported either being the victim of harassment or having witnessed harassment in some form at school. Most of the students surveyed =96 close to 92% - belonged to Memphis public schools and at least 86% of the victims were African Americans.  The mean age of the girls surveyed was 13.88 years.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Sexual Harassment in Memphis Schools is not Merely Bullying <br /><br /> We tend to think of instances of girls being teased or called names at school as bullying and, according to experts who are concerned at the effects of such harassment on girls in Memphis schools, we need to draw the line between bullying and sexual harassment. According to available data from the 2005 Youth Risk Behavioral survey, the incidences of sexual relationships, forced or otherwise, in Memphis schools are higher than the national average. Not only this, students at Memphis schools are more likely to have multiple partners, or become pregnant or impregnate a partner than their peers elsewhere in the country.  The Memphis Area Women's Council together with the Center for Research on Women is working on establishing the relationship between the high prevalence of sexual harassment in Memphis schools and the increased incidence of premature sexual activity in students. <br /><br /> Sexual Harassment and its Effects on Students in Memphis Schools <br /><br /> Sexual harassment in Memphis schools can take many forms =96 it can be in the form of spreading malicious rumors about a student, making unwanted phone calls or sending explicit emails, name calling, offensive jokes, and graffiti. In its virulent display, perpetrators may be emboldened enough to pinch, grab, snap bras, pull down skirts and engage in other behavior that aimed to humiliate the victim. The Memphis Girls for Change Program focuses on empowering girl students of Memphis schools and equipping them to deal with such instances in a school environment that's very often a mute spectator.   <bio>Patricia Hawke is a staff writer for Schools K-12, providing free, in-depth reports on all U.S. public and private K-12 schools.

Shapely breasts are also attractive; a good shape always shows even though you are dressed. <br /><br /> You should pay attention to this detail before going in for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/breast+enlargement" rel="tag">breast enlargement</a>; you should talk to your doctor before deciding on the type and size of implants that the doctor may advice you to accept. It is not just larger breasts that you should be interested in, only larger breasts might not be so attractive as shapely breasts. <br /><br /> Most men are attracted to breasts that are firm and taut and also are highly shapely and in harmony with the rest of the body regarding figure. You should also take care to wear clothes that will not hide your breasts or show them, the clothes should be such which accentuate the shape and the natural beauty of breasts. Shapely breasts are highly preferred even though these are smaller. <br /><br /> Sensuous and tantalizing are the two effects that can be got after breast enlargement, sensuous breast enlargement is when you put reasonably sized implants that will enable you to look more sensuous and attractive, larger implants will make you look tantalizing rather than looking attractive, therefore it is your choice. Being sensuous can attract people towards you and will also <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/aim" rel="tag">aim</a> for relationships, however tantalizing effect will only make you an object for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gawking" rel="tag">gawking</a>. <br /><br /> All those hoping to start a new life with renewed confidence should choose the size of implants after giving it a lot of thoughts, it is necessary to remember that the way you look will attract people to you, however, it is only your self that can culminate acquaintances into relationships, therefore, breast size can only be to increase your attractiveness and nothing more. <br /><br /> Psychiatrists have often pointed out that majority of women who go in for breast enlargement are often depressed, and that these are most likely to think about suicide more than other women. You can analyze yourself and find another alternative as a cure if you want to get out of depression. Alternative therapies and mind and body exercises like Yoga will benefit you to get out of depression. However, you should opt for breast enlargement if you seriously feel that your self image and public image will get a boost after breast enlargement. Other than the surgery there are a number of techniques that can help you get larger breasts that can enhance your attractiveness.   <bio>Find more information about breast enhancement and breast enhancement pills right here <a href="http://www.breast-enhancement-pills.us/" >http://www.breast-enhancement-pills.us/</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ A condom is a device made out of polyurethane or latex, specifically made for birth control. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/married+couples" rel="tag">Married couples</a> use <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/condoms" rel="tag">condoms</a> during <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+intercourse" rel="tag">sexual intercourse</a> to prevent pregnancies. The use of condoms by many married couples has been essential if not beneficial to their sexual relationship. It has definitely added so many more options for the married couple when it comes to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/making+love" rel="tag">making love</a> and basically engaging in sexual intercourse. <br /><br /> Are you one of those married couples that are quite suspicious about introducing condoms before making love? Well, here are some reasons for you to really consider them. <br /><br /> First of all, we all know that the condom is a contraceptive. The proper and effective use of a condom can do wonders for a married couple who wishes to avoid pregnancies during sexual intercourse. They are considered as one of the more reliable and convenient <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/birth+control+methods" rel="tag">birth control methods</a> for a couple. <br /><br /> Second, the simplicity of the condom's design and purpose gives it an edge over other birth control methods. Married couples who opt to use condoms over sponges, IUDs, and other birth control methods are less likely to contract or be hindered by side effects. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/this+also+means+that" rel="tag">This <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/also+means+that" rel="tag">also means that</a></a> the only time that condoms are worn is during the time that actual sexual intercourse is performed. There is no need to worry about not taking a pill at an actual time, among other things. <br /><br /> Third, condoms come in so many sizes to ensure a perfect fit. They come in different textures, and some married couples claim that the pleasure in sexual intercourse is heightened using this variety in condoms. They also come in different colors and shapes, introducing some opportunities for married couples to practice their creativity when it comes to making love. <br /><br /> Fourth, condoms are readily available in most, if not all, pharmacies and related convenience stores. A married couple can buy condoms over the counter; there are no prescriptions or a visit to the doctor that is required. Condoms which are extremely capable of doing its duty for a married couple do not cost too much, either. <br /><br /> Fifth, a married couple that uses condoms during sexual intercourse is sure to have a less messy environment. Condoms keep things as neat as they can while the married couple enjoys the act which they are united for. Additionally, a married couple does not need a manual to go ahead and use a condom. It's not very complicated =96 all that needs to be done is for one person to put a condom on before engaging in the actual activity of making love. These simple devices are extremely user-friendly, and they require just a little practice for a married couple to use them regularly. <br /><br /> Discuss these reasons with your partner, and give it a shot. Condoms are not inconvenient. Many married couples do admit that it is quite awkward at first; however, once they get the hang of it, they would mention that it does add more options and more opportunities to experience pleasure while making love.   <bio>If you enjoy reading this, you may enjoy to read about <a href="http://www.reddycondom.com" >http://www.reddycondom.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/perfumes" rel="tag">Perfumes</a> and colognes have been around in one fashion or another almost as long as man has been on earth. Early man washed seldom washed themselves, so obnoxious aromas were covered up with crushed flowers, particularly for women. Perfumes have been used throughout the years in religious ceremonies, as part of sexual ceremonies, as an honor, and in gifts. Fashion throughout time has led the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/perfume+industry" rel="tag">perfume industry</a> into new dimensions and has created a ten billion dollar industry.  	  Perfumes are created from a basic oil and alcohol base and then scented with floral and plant extracts. Blending these <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/natural+aromas" rel="tag">natural aromas</a> has produced a cacophony of varieties to suit every occasion and every desire. Most women typically have between four and eight everyday perfumes and one special occasion scent. Men have smaller collections, ranging between three and six, but most men also tend to have one special occasion scent set aside for those intimate moments.  	  Chanel No. 5 has been around, and increasing in popularity, since 1921.While the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/basic+marketing" rel="tag">basic marketing</a> tactics have changed, Chanel still holds to its belief that every woman should have a little perfume for whenever they wish to be kissed. Despite drastic changes in the perfume market, it is estimated that a bottle of this timeless perfume sells once every thirty seconds.  	  The 1970s brought about the sultry revolution, enticing women into perfume sales for the first time using <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+prowess" rel="tag">sexual prowess</a> as its marketing campaign. And it worked. Opium was introduced along with a few other long standing scents and has maintained its popularity ever since.  	  The 1980s brought about the erotic marketing of designer scent, heavily laden with vanilla and enticing both men and women to explore the power of aroma in sexual interactions. Since then, sex has been selling the most popular fragrances with fierce success. Combined with the introduction of power hitter perfumes, the fragrance industry boomed into an explosive industry.  	  Today, perfume is available for every occasion fro every day use to sexual exploitation. Nearly every woman in developed countries uses perfume as a statement of availability, interest, or seduction. Men are just as likely to turn to fragrance to express sexual interest and their sexual prowess. The world of fragrance has grown from a pleasant form of odor control to an entire sexual industry. Having lost the reputation that perfumes are only for the exclusively wealthy and are only worthy of their price, the perfume industry is growing and gaining popularity.  <bio>Kuersten Steizer writes about <a href="http://www.perfumefragrancecoupons.com" >http://www.perfumefragrancecoupons.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[How do you know when you like someone? If you're like most people, it's a gut feeling. You just "know." <br /><br /> As a result, if you asked a man to explain why he was attracted to a woman, he would probably tell you the wrong answers. He would say that it was her personality or her smile or the way she laughed. But he didn't make the decision to be attracted to her from his head; he felt it in his heart. <br /><br /> Most of us don't tend to examine how we form feelings of attraction. All we know is that we feel an irresistible force drawing us closer to another person. <br /><br /> Many more factors are at work in creating attraction than the obvious traits of appearance, personality, and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+chemistry" rel="tag">sexual chemistry</a>. Today, I'm going to share four crucial factors that create attraction and tell you what they mean for YOU. <br /><br /> First of all, let me clarify something. Attractiveness is not simply a measure of objectively "attractive" traits in a person. No one is ever attractive on their own; they're always attractive TO someone. For example, when you <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/look+in+the+mirror" rel="tag">look in the mirror</a>, you decide whether or not you are attractive to yourself. This doesn't mean that someone else will look at you and judge your attractiveness in the same way. <br /><br /> Social psychology has determined that there are multiple factors that influence <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/interpersonal+attraction" rel="tag">interpersonal attraction</a> -- and, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/lo+and+behold" rel="tag">lo and behold</a>, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/physical+attractiveness" rel="tag">physical attractiveness</a> is only one of them. <br /><br /> 1. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/propinquity" rel="tag">Propinquity</a> <br /><br /> The first factor is "propinquity," which means that people tend to form relationships with others living nearby. For example, the chances of you starting a relationship with someone from Denmark are much lower than the chances of you starting a relationship with someone who lives in your town. <br /><br /> This has two implications. First of all, dismissing local men from your dating radar may not be a good idea. I know many women who will only date men who are NOT from their hometown.  No matter what their opinions are about "local boys," they're certainly lowering their chances of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/finding+a+partner" rel="tag">finding a partner</a>. <br /><br /> Second, you can decrease the distance between you and thousands of eligible men with the click of a button. That's right: with the internet. Internet dating brings thousands of eligible singles into close contact, making geographical distance less of an obstacle. <br /><br /> 2. Familiarity <br /><br /> The second factor is "familiarity," also known as the "exposure effect." This means that you tend to like a person that you see more often, or that you're familiar with. This explains why so many students and co-workers tend to form relationships: they see one another on a regular basis in the classroom or in the office. <br /><br /> For you, this means that you can increase your attractiveness to men by being a "regular." Make a habit of going to the same cafés. Go to the gym at the same time every day. Join a club where you interact with the same people regularly. Become a familiar face, and soon you'll find that men are more interested. <br /><br /> 3. Similarity <br /><br /> This is a crucial attraction factor from a statistical point of view. According to "Sex in America: A Definitive Survey," people tend to marry partners who are similar in age, in education, in religion, and in race or ethnic background. <br /><br /> We tend to marry people like us for a variety of reasons. Many partners tend to meet through their social network, which implies that they already have a good deal of things in common.<br /><br />Relationships based on a common set of values tend to face fewer conflicts when it comes to big life decisions like childrearing.<br /><br /><br /><br /> What this means for you is twofold. First, you should recognize that focusing your dating efforts on meeting people with whom you already share something in common (like a hobby, a profession, or the same group of friends) will yield greater results than hoping to bump into the "perfect man" on the street, on the bus, or in a crowded nightclub. <br /><br /> Second, it is always best to play up your similarities rather than your differences when you first meet someone that you are interested in. Find out what you have in common, even if it's as basic as a similar taste in music, and build your conversation from that point. <br /><br /> 4. Reciprocal liking <br /><br /> This is one of my favorite factors of attraction: it's the theory that you can encourage someone's interest in you simply by showing your interest in them. <br /><br /> We all know people who've liked us immensely since the moment they met us, and it's almost impossible not to like them back.  There's something enormously flattering about being liked by someone, especially if they're an attractive member of the opposite sex. <br /><br /> This principle raises doubts about the effectiveness of the "ice queen" technique, whereby women pretend to be aloof and indifferent in order to make men pursue them. There is no sound scientific research proving that it pays to act coldly, UNLESS the other person is super-attractive and used to women fawning all over him. For 90% of us, acting in friendly and interested manner will ignite a reciprocal liking. <br /><br /> So what should you do? Smile! Let a man know that you enjoy his company. For shy guys, or guys who are afraid of rejection, your display of interest will be exactly what he needs to get the courage to take your interaction to the next step. <br /><br /> Now that you understand some of the genuine factors that influence why people find each other attractive, you're ready to find out how you can move beyond mere attractiveness to irresistibility.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[For the last two decades various <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/yoga+practices" rel="tag">yoga practices</a> have been brought into the mainstream. These decades could be better termed as renaissance decades for yoga. Among age old yoga practices most objectionable practice of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/naked+yoga" rel="tag">naked yoga</a> or nudist yoga has been also revived. <br /><br /> In America a good number of men and women find nudist yoga as a source of great relaxation and peace of mind. Every year, a reasonable increase in nudist <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/yoga+practitioners" rel="tag">yoga practitioners</a> or seekers has resulted in a good number of nudist <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/yoga+classes" rel="tag">yoga classes</a>. Therein you are needed to shed your clothes in order to perform yoga. <br /><br /> The concept of naked yoga has been derived from the concept of Ancient India- <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/tantra+yoga" rel="tag">Tantra Yoga</a>. This yoga ensures your holistic health improvement like other forms of yoga. You are made to shed clothes to be in a liberated mental and physical state that greatly ensures your desired attainment from yoga practices. <br /><br /> If you are sick of appearing naked before people in nudist yoga classes, a good number of naked yoga videos have come on the block to solve your problem. You can practice nudist yoga while watching these videos at home. However you are required to take tips from an expert nudist yogi before starting your nudist yoga practice. <br /><br /> Naked yoga therapy is specifically meant to enhance your sexual capacity. That's why a couple not satisfied with their sexual compatibility is often recommended to perform nudist yoga to increase their sexual drive as well as compatibility to lead a better sexual life. The practice has been even found useful in curing various sexual abnormalities. Male impotency could be effectively remedied with certain naked <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/yoga+asanas" rel="tag">yoga asanas</a>. <br /><br /> Naked yoga is also connected with metaphysics. Its practitioners claim that they get much needed tranquility and salvation by practicing nudist yoga. <br /><br /> An interesting trend has been noticed recently. Folks are longing for a naked yoga performance on beach under the sun to attain twin objectives of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/yoga+benefits" rel="tag">yoga benefits</a> as well as suntan. However you are required to take permission from authorities to perform naked beach yoga. Many nudist yoga classes on beach sides are also started to meet this growing demand of nude yoga at the beach side. <br /><br /> Couple nudist yoga is also gaining great acceptance. With the help of naked couple yoga videos, a couple can enjoy performing naked yoga at home. The practice helps in increasing sexual compatibility  between the spouses. <br /><br /> If you happen to be comfortable without clothes, naked yoga is a sheer fun.  <bio>To get more information on yoga, your body and yoga and yoga tips visit <a href="http://www.therealyoga.com/" >http://www.therealyoga.com/</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[STD, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexually+transmitted+diseases" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexually+transmitted+disease" rel="tag">sexually transmitted disease</a>s</a> have been called the 21st century plague. <br /><br /> Sexually transmitted disease includes well-known diseases like gonorrhea and syphilis, but also <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/genital+warts" rel="tag">genital warts</a>, genital herpes and chlamydia. <br /><br /> The stigma of what used to be called <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/venereal+diseases" rel="tag">venereal diseases</a> has largely gone, partly because everyone knows someone who has had to visit the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/std+clinic" rel="tag">STD clinic</a>. Nice girls catch STDs, too. <br /><br /> STDs are transmitted by <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+contact" rel="tag">sexual contact</a>. The more people you have sexual contact with, the greater your chance of having sex with someone who has STD and the greater the chance that you will be infected too. You can catch STD if the first person you have sexual intercourse with is infected, so it is not necessarily a sign of sexual license. Check out <a href="http://www.std-testing.info">http://www.std-testing.info</a> for more information. <br /><br /> Most sexually transmitted diseases respond to treatment if caught in the early stages. Some, like syphilis and gonorrhea respond to antibiotics. Genital warts may need to be frozen off with liquid nitrogen. Not all hepatitis infections are treatable. <br /><br /> Many of these diseases have no symptoms. Gonorrhea may cause painful urination in males, but no immediate symptoms in females. Chlamydia has no immediate symptoms in males or females, yet if left untreated will cause infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease in females. <br /><br /> Because of the lack of symptoms, it is advisable for any adult who is sexually active to be tested for STDs. The consequences of a night of passion could be life-long and result in insanity or death at an early age if STDs are not detected and treated. <br /><br /> Diagnosis is simple; a swab is taken and sent for analysis. If the laboratory finds a positive result you will be asked back for treatment. If the result is positive you may be asked for a list of sexual contacts, or be asked to contact anyone you have had sexual relations with, so those people can also be treated. <br /><br /> AIDS/HIV is the sexually transmitted disease that everyone is aware of, but many people forget the older and more common diseases that also kill. Condoms help reduce the risk of STD transmission; they do not remove the risk entirely.   <bio>Ciara McGrath is a full time mother to four teenage daughters between 13 and 19, including 17 year old twins.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[It's common knowledge that acne, even in mild cases, can cause permanent facial scaring which is unfortunate. But did you know that acne can exact and even heavier emotional toll? Psychological scarring and social disabling among <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/acne+sufferers" rel="tag">acne sufferers</a>, both teenagers and adults, actually can have far more serious long term consequences than the physical fallout. <br /><br /> By some estimates, around 85% of people between the ages of 12 and 25 develop acne. The psychological and social impacts during this emotionally sensitive time of life are huge. Adolescents are in the throes of developing their personalities just when acne manifests itself. During this time, peer acceptance is critical, and peer status becomes <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/inextricably" rel="tag">inextricably</a> woven with physical appearance and attractiveness, often leading to severe emotional disturbance when acne erupts. <br /><br /> Studies indicate that <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/psychological+consequences" rel="tag">psychological consequences</a> from acne primarily take the form of embarrassment, impaired self-image, low self-esteem, self-consciousness, frustration, and anger. There is a subset, as also shown in studies, where the sufferer believes that their personality has been adversely and permanently affected. Depression, to some degree, haunts younger people with acne to a greater extent than in the normal population. However, there is no clear indication that their depression in relation to acne is generally severe enough to require treatment. Most teens studied were far more likely to describe their mental state in terms of embarrassment, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/self+consciousness" rel="tag">self consciousness</a>, impaired self esteem and the like. Adults with acne, however, are more prone to suffer <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/anxiety+and+depression" rel="tag">anxiety and depression</a> needing treatment. <br /><br /> Acne flare-ups trigger these negative feelings as soon as they appear, and are aggravated in the teenage setting by taunting, stigmatizing, and apprehensions of being scrutinized and judged. Simply walking past a mirror can bring on feelings of self loathing. Some people report that their emotional reactions are at their worst when <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/looking+in+the+mirror" rel="tag">looking in the mirror</a>. <br /><br /> Feeding acne's emotional fallout are media generated ideal images of unblemished skin. People with acne become acutely aware that they have failed to live up to the ideal of perfect, flawless skin projected in television, film and advertising. Magazines targeting the younger female demographic certainly never portray anyone with pimples, nor, for that matter, will you encounter such images in publications for more mature audiences. One's sexual attractiveness, so seemingly vital in the teenage years, is then found to be abysmal by comparison. <br /><br /> Of course, there's a something of a paradox at work here. One of the acne myths is that stress in one's life causes acne. Studies have proven that this is untrue, and, in fact, it's the other way around. Acne can cause stress which, in turn, suggests that it was stress that caused the acne in the first place. <br /><br /> So, what are the remedies? First and foremost, of course, is treatment to relieve the symptoms of acne outbreaks as soon as they appear. Given the nature of the disease, there are numerous approaches to treatment (accompanied by information overload). A proactive stance toward treatment is the most effective way to ameliorate the damaging feelings. Beyond that, support and sensitivity on the part of one's family and close friends goes a long way toward propping up both teenagers and adults while treatment is in progress.   <bio>Robert G.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Everyone has a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/myspace" rel="tag">Myspace</a> account these days. You can find almost anything on myspace, from love, games, books, movies, music, and even <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/friends" rel="tag">friends</a>. One of the most <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/intriguing" rel="tag">intriguing</a> things about myspace to me is the web templates that the web site provides to its users. These templates can be modified in many different ways to produce millions of different myspace web pages. Also biographical information along with quotes and other miscellaneous information are easily entered into this template. It seems to me that many of the users on myspace are just trying to keep in touch with old friends, but some users are looking for a "good time". Also it seems that some users are just on myspace to try to get as many "friends" to add them to their lists as they can. The only thing that worries me about myspace is the amount of younger children that have pages on the site. <br /><br /> I have seen many different news shows lately about <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+predators" rel="tag">sexual predators</a> that try to lure young children into a meeting with them for sex. I am afraid that myspace makes this much easier for these sexual predators to find children, because it basically gives them a direct link to them. I <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/guess" rel="tag">guess</a> as with all things, parents need to keep an eye on their children, and make sure that they are not getting themselves into anything that they should not be getting into. <br /><br /> My wife and I recently had a son, so now I am really taking an interest into anything that I think can harm him. I think that the information that is provided on myspace can really do some harm if it falls into the wrong hands. I do not think that I will ever allow my son to be online in a room by himself without myself or my wife with him, because I am afraid that a sexual predator might lure him into a meeting. Just remember that myspace is like many other things in life -- most people use its power for good, but a few use it for evil. So just be sure that you supervise your kids and keep them safe.   <bio>For good, safe fun, check out our Myspace Games Codes at <a href="http://redpython.com/" >http://redpython.com/</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>
