QUESTION: Hi! I enjoy sex and for the most part I'm OK with giving oral sex to my male partners, but I'm currently dating a guy exclusively and his cum tastes awful.
Question: Since the release of the Kinsey movie last year, friends ask me about the Kinsey scale and the test.
QUESTION: I have worn a cock ring to enhance sexual pleasure for my girlfriend and to make sex more interesting.
QUESTION: Hi, this may be a terribly awkward e-mail to read but here goes.
QUESTION: I recently lost my virginity to my boyfriend.
QUESTION: I am a guy who has never learned how to initiate sex in a new relationship. Consequently, most of the relationships in which I have been involved in the past few years have fizzled out into "just friends" friendships, which leave me cold, uninterested, and, above all, inexperienced and dissatisfied. What can I do to learn initiation of sex in new relationships in such a way that both I and my new partner are fine with the escalation?
QUESTION: My boyfriend and I have been dating for a while and have had sex, but lately he seems to be avoiding it.
A significant number of Americans believe in the power of psychiatric medications but far fewer would take them to help deal with their problems, according to a recent report released by IU's Consortium for Mental Health Services Research.
WASHINGTON -- Suffer from springtime allergies? You could be among the first affected by the USA Patriot Act poised for final congressional passage this week. Besides terrorism, the bill takes aim at the production of methamphetamine, a highly addictive drug that cannot be manufactured without a key ingredient of everyday cold and allergy medicines. The bill would impose new limits next month for how much relief a person can buy over the counter. Beginning Sept. 30, it'll take a flash of identifiaction to buy that medication.
Reversing the freshman 15 before spring break can seem impossible when pizza and Taco Johns seem like the only meal options. For freshmen and their mooching friends, the food courts offer a lot of healthy options as long as they know where to look. "I think we do a good job of providing lots of options," said registered dietitian Heidi Boruff, who helps plan and implement the menu at Residential Programs and Services. For breakfast, lunch and dinner, Boruff has compiled a sample week-long menu of varied healthy options that stress utilizing the salad bar and the Iron Kettle.
After months of research, four scientists at the School of Informatics have unveiled a mathematical framework that could serve as a way to predict the spread of disease through air travel. The study was published in a recent edition of the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Science." The computational model was stochastic, meaning it took into account random variations across a broad range of factors. The study used census data and a database provided by the International Air Transport Association. Never before has such a detailed amount of airline information been employed in this type of research. The database of the International Air Transport Association includes all commercial airports in the world and the flight connections among them, as well as the number of passengers traveling on a given route.
Kidney dialysis patients might no longer have to go through the hassle of monitoring their kidney health through the conventional treatment method for kidney failure — hemodialysis. A hand-held personal computing device for dialysis patients to monitor their health is in the early stages of development from collaborated research efforts between IU Informatics professors and IU-Purdue University Indianapolis medical researchers. Their research is designed to test whether the simple hand-held computing device can effectively give dialysis patients real-time feedback of their dietary intake.
Research into genetics-versus-environment and genomic studies has been revolutionized with the completion of the genome for Daphnia pulex, commonly known as the water flea. Scientists at IU and the Joint Genome Institute recently announced they have completed a "shotgun" sequence of the Daphnia genome. Daphnia is an important organism for genetic-versus-environment studies and serves as a model organism in evolutionary and ecological research projects.
Years ago, when associate professor of psychology Olaf Sporns was in high school, he replicated the earth's ancient atmosphere by mixing gases, including methane, hydrogen and ammonia, and esind sparks through the gases to synthesize building modes of early life. "One day, I blew the top off the apparatus," Sporns said. "No big deal, really. But I was more careful after that."
