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.

Why kids run away

Why Kids Run Away Remember how you felt the last time you got in a big fight with your parents or one of your brothers or sisters? That kind of anger and hurt can be what pushes someone to run away from home.These are problems faced by lots of kids and teens — and there are ways to deal with all of these problems besides running away. Kids who think about running away might not know how to solve tough problems or don't have adults to help them. Sometimes a really big problem can make it seem like running away is the only choice. Unfortunately, the problems kids hope to escape by running away are replaced by other — sometimes even bigger — problems of life on the streets. When you think about running away, you probably imagine that there will be no more rules, no parent to tell you what to do, no more fights. Sounds great and exciting, right? In reality, running away is anything but fun. Kids and teens who run away face new problems like not having any money, food to eat, a s...

THE RIVER CROSSING.

It is no military secret that an opposed river crossing operation is difficult even under ideal conditions. But without adequate standard equipment and with a poor level of training of soldiers and officers, it could become impossible. But the Army Headquarters and Supreme Headquarters had strongly advised against embarking on an opposed river crossing because of inadequacy of equipment and deficiency in the training of troops for such a semi-specialist operation. The Supreme Headquarters had advised on unopposed crossing while the division passed through 1 Division's secure position to capture the town. The Division commander decided to take a grave and calculated risk that could be called bravado. But if the operation had been successful, as it nearly was, it would have been one of the most praiseworthy operations of the entire war. In the end, it failed and the commander had to take the blame for it.     The first landing, in which the Division Commander himself took part,...

How to lose weight

Choose a low-carb diet If you want to lose weight you should start by avoiding sugar and starch (like bread). This is an old idea: For 150 years or more there have been an infinite number of weight-loss diets based on eating fewer carbs. What’s new is that dozens of modern scientific studies have proven that, yes, low carb is the most effective way to lose weight . Obviously, it’s still possible to lose weight on any diet – just eat fewer calories than you burn, right? The problem with this simplistic advice is that it ignores the elephant in the room: Hunger. Most people don’t like to “just eat less”, i.e. being hungry forever. That’s dieting for masochists. Sooner or later a normal person will give up and eat, hence the prevalence of “yo-yo dieting”. The main advantage of the low carb diet is that they cause you to want to eat less . Even without counting calories most overweight people eat far fewer calories on low carb. Sugar and starch may increase your hunger, while avoiding t...
