Q1 - What were the first (but not necessarily effective) condoms believed to be made out of?

 

Woven fabric. Research claims that the first condoms were fashioned from woven fabric. Unfortunately, viruses and sperm could easily sneak through the fibers. The intestines of animals became a safer alternative, though still not as safe as the condoms of today. Did you know Casanova used condoms made of animal intestines that he decorated and tied in place with a pink ribbon?

 

Q2 - What is a common name for the birth control method Ortho Evra?

 

The Patch. Ortho Evra or "The Patch" is a small patch, attached to certain parts of the body, that releases hormones to prevent ovulation or implantation of the zygote. It works in a similar way to the pill, also helping issues unrelated to pregnancy, such as acne. It's a good alternative for women who have trouble with taking medication at the same time each day.

 

Q3 - Why should one use a water-based lubricant instead of an oil-based lubricant on latex condoms?

 

Oil-based lubricants damage latex, while water-based lubricants do not. When oil-based lubricants are applied to latex condoms, the condom becomes more susceptible to rips and tears. Always be aware of this! Safe lubricants that don't harm latex include Astro Glide and ForPlay. Even water or saliva is preferred over unsafe alternatives such as baby oil, butter, or petroleum jelly.

 

Q4 - How does the Rhythm Method work?

 

The menstrual cycle is tracked and the woman refrains from vaginal intercourse or uses protection during "unsafe days" while she is ovulating. If a woman has a regular menstrual cycle, she can track the days where she ovulates by using the Rhythm Method (also called the Calendar Method) She should either refrain from vaginal sex or use protection at this point. Effectiveness varies from 75% to 95%. Two other methods mentioned were the Cervical Mucus Method (Ovulation Method) and the Basal Body Temperature Method. The one about fingernails was nonsense -- don't rely on this.

 

Q5 - Which of the following is FALSE about withdrawal? (The removal of the penis from the vagina before ejaculation)

 

When done correctly, withdrawal is just as effective as condoms. Withdrawal is less effective than condoms. Reasons why withdrawal is not the choice method of contraception is because pre-ejaculate or pre-cum (released before ejaculation) can contain sperm, lots of control and experience is needed, men suffering from premature ejaculation cannot use it, and it doesn't protect against sexually transmitted diseases. Sex educator Sue Johanson recommends condoms.

 

Q6 - Which specific part of the male reproductive system is surgery performed on during a vasectomy (sterilization)?

 

Vas deferens. A vasectomy is performed by cutting, or sometimes blocking, the vas deferens off from the rest of the genitals so that semen does not contain sperm. Though in many cases irreversible, vasectomies are safe, fast, inexpensive, and very effective. Vasectomies are recommended for men and their partners who: don't want (more) children, have a partner whose life would be threatened by pregnancy, do not want to pass on a genetic illness, etc. The common female equivalent of sterilization is called a tubal ligation.

 

Q7 - Which sexual act has the lowest chance of infecting an individual with HIV?

 

Oral sex. It is believed that enzymes in the saliva destroy the virus as it enters the body through the mouth. Unless cuts or scrapes in the mouth allow HIV into the bloodstream, oral sex is a very safe option for having sex with an infected individual. When one is receiving vaginal or anal sex, however, small tears in the membranes can cause contraction of the disease to occur. This is especially true of anal sex. No matter what you're doing, if you're having sex with someone who is infected or has not been tested, use a condom! HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) may evolve into AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Both affect the body's immune system and are incurable. At least 40,000 men and women are infected each year in the United States.

 

Q8 - Though gonorrhea often has no symptoms, which of the following is NOT a symptom of this disease?

 

Bloating. Gonorrhea is a disease that affects the penis, vagina, cervix, anus, urethra, or throat. While some strange symptoms may be clear, it generally has no symptoms. Left untreated, gonorrhea can lead to infertility in both men and women. 600,000 men and women in the United States contract this disease each year.

 

Q9 - Which event corresponds with the beginning of pregnancy, according to most medical and scientific texts?

 

When the zygote (fertilized egg) becomes attached to the uterine wall. While there is conflict, many medical and scientific professionals consider pregnancy to begin when the quickly dividing zygote attaches itself to the uterine wall and begins to develop in an embryo. The embryo gives off hormones that signal the body to prevent the shedding of the uterine lining, thus preventing miscarriage. Despite this, about half of pregnancies are terminated this way before the women is even aware that she is pregnant.

 

Q10 - Which fraction most accurately describes how many pregnancies in the United States are unintended?

 

1/2. 50% of all pregnancies occur from acts of sex not meant for conception. 40% of these unintended pregnancies will end in abortion. At least half of these women who chose to abort used some form of protection while having sex. Always use protection.

[someguy 67067]

The study of women's sexuality is relatively new in the grand scale of research history, but now science is finding statistics about it that make most women say, "Duh." Here are a few recent studies that might surprise some men.

1- Women Get Turned On By Other Women

Women tend to become aroused by all sorts of erotica, including scenarios with men, men and women, and just women, which indicates a bisexual arousal pattern. This doesn't mean women all behave in a bisexual manner. Nor does it mean that your wife will be game to bring home the cute receptionist from her office for a three-way. It simply means that many women can be turned on by both thoughts or images of both genders. This is different from most straight men, who only become aroused by heterosexual erotica, and gay men, who mostly become aroused by homosexual material.

2- Women Who Think They're Hot Orgasm Easier

Body image is connected to sexuality for women. Women who are more positive about their own genitals find it easier to orgasm and are more likely to engage in sexual-health-promoting behaviors, such as having regular gynecological exams or performing self-examinations.

3- Women Would Prefer You Cheat

Women fear emotional infidelity from their partners more than physical infidelity, and men fear the opposite. That means long, lingering platonic lunches might drive your gal more crazy than knowing you had a one-time hookup. As for their behavior, women feel less guilt about a sexual affair than men. But they feel a lot of guilt about an emotional affair.

4- A Woman Can Be Wet And Not Mentally Aroused

Women's brains can separate mental arousal from genital arousal. The two function separately. For instance, even if she is not mentally stimulated, a woman's body can have a physiological reaction to sex. (Thus the confusion of a few rape victims who experience a spontaneous orgasm during the trauma.) It's also how prostitutes can work without actually being turned on by their customers. And women can sometimes be mentally aroused and have trouble becoming wet and wild down below.

5- Women Feel Bonded After Sex

In general, women have less ability to have a stand-alone physical relationship because their bodies release oxytocin during orgasm. Oxytocin, the female-bonding hormone, is also released during breastfeeding. For that reason, women sometimes develop feelings through sex even when they don't mean to. Yes, that's why you keep getting texts from that girl you casually hooked up with.
