Science of sex

Besides the reason Mother Nature intended, sex has so many more personal health and happiness benefits than you might think. Did you know that having sex when you're older is good for your health ? Or that women want it just as much as men? (Actually, you probably did already know about that one.) The only issue with sex is that we don't talk about it enough. The typically taboo topic often makes us blush at the mere utterance of the word, but it's time to break free from our sheepish shackles and be empowered by it.it—these surprising things will make you sexier
 .Of all human activities, sex is possibly the ultimate mind-body experience. Reproductive organs often steal the spotlight in sex ed classes, but male and female sexual attraction responses engage senses and body parts from head to toe.One physiological response to attraction is pupil dilation. Studies have confirmed that heterosexual men rate women with wider pupils as more comely and feminine. A majority of heterosexual women, on the other hand, prefer moderately dilated pupils among men, which indicate interest -- not unbridled lust.Sexual attraction can do some less-than-attractive things to the human body. Case in point: sweaty palms. The classic symptom of attraction is the result of a release of norepinephrine in the brain that stimulates sweat glands into turning on their waterworks. The palms are especially affected by that dampening action since they're covered in up to 3,000 sweat glands per inch.
       Studies have found that the human nose guides sexual attraction -- and not in the dubiously pheromone-infused perfumes kind of way. Replicated studies have asked women to rate the body odor scents from men's undershirts. Over and over, the sweetest smelling were from men with the most diverse immune system makeup. In that way, without even knowing it, the women's noses were silently sussing out a man's genes to find the optimal fit.
Although a recent Australian study debunked the theory that a deeper male voice belies stronger sperm, other studies nevertheless support sexual preferences for bass notes. In addition to assessing lower-pitched male voices as more masculine, women also associate deeper voices with authority, larger body size and physical attractiveness.

 A prevailing theory of why humans kiss on the lips as a manifestation of sexual attraction is that it naturally evolved over time from sniffing each other, and the first known documentation of a romantic kiss came in a 1000 B.C. Indian text called the Mahabharata. In addition to exchanging affection, men also pass along testosterone in their saliva during lip-locks
Why does a cultural association between sex and toes exist? Anecdotally, many men and women report contracting their toes when they climax. One explanation for this could lie in where toe movement and sexual sensation is processed in the brain. In the male brain, at least, the somatosensory neurons responsible for genital sensation are nestled next to those devoted to the toes. Since toes and genitalia are neighbors in the brain, it lends some nestled next to those devoted to the toes. Since toes and genitalia are neighbors in the brain, it lends some neurological insight to the toe-orgasm association -- as well as the existence of foot fetishes.

READING AND UNDERSTANDING

All reading is geared to understanding. There would be no point in reading if we did not understand what we are reading. However there are many different obstacles in the way of easy understanding of a passage. It is your task as a reader to actively seek to break down the barriers to understanding.    One block to understanding is caused by references in the passage to things that are outside it. Pronoun are the first examples of words that refer to people and objects. Sometimes, it is easy to follow the reference at other times, it is more difficult. Look at the opening sentence of the passage you've just read that begins this way  "She was waiting for us:small, dowdy, dirty..."  Who was waiting? Who was the person waiting for? (Perhaps you would also like to know why she was waiting.)Answers to these questions will surely help you to understand and thus follow the reference. The first thing to do is to ask questions like the ones we have just asked and to read t...

TEACHING AND PEACE CORPS

Teaching today is hard work. The old demands that one knows his subject and master the art of teaching are increased by the need to prepare students for a world that is constantly changing, and in ways that were unfamiliar and complicated.     We now inhabit what we should call spaceship earth, and the instructor's book didn't come with it.     But it is not true that the demands of our own technological world represent the only or even the most difficult challenge to the teacher. Beyond the technological world, there is a world not constantly changing, in fact, where change has not come fast enough, and when change alone can bring partnership in the 20th century.     To the developing world, the peace corps teacher is asked to bring skills and knowledge. He is also asked to bring understanding, which respects the beauty of that world's religious beliefs and customs. The peace corps teacher must guide and, at the same time, respect the student's uniquene...

Housing Problems

Housing is certainly one of the basic necessities of man. However when rural dwellers migrated to the urban areas in very large numbers, housing has become a problem. This further exacerbate by the upsurge in the number of people coming to stay in a country, increasing the country's population in a manner that surpasses the rate at which houses are built, and the relative in cash flow which makes people desires better living conditions.    The importance of housing is so universally acknowledge that the United Nations declared 1986 international year of shelter. But so far, all efforts made, including building of housing estates by the government, have not solved the problem of inadequate housing. How could this be solved? The government should make provision of amenities to be getting in cheap rates, various building materials such as cement, roofing sheets, asbestos, as well as finishing materials such as paints and tiles. The government should build and sell the house at a...
