Ads promoting female abortion: Who is to blame the advertiser or the people?
Ads promoting female abortion: Who is to blame the advertiser or the people?
Article by Pooja
As said before, ‘raising a girl is like watering the neighbor’s garden’, defines the mindset not only of the so-called modern India but also of people residing abroad.
Lately, in Canada, certain advertisements for ultrasound clinics are promoting abortion of female fetuses. According to the plaintiff Charan Gill, of the Progressive Intercultural Community Services Society, ads promoting such ultrasound clinics are running in two Punjabi-language newspapers, the Ajit Weekly and the Hamdard Weekly, published weekly from Toronto, New York, Vancouver and California, and the Indian city of Chandigarh.
It’s really, really sad that some newspapers, for sake of money, are misleading the public. The end result is they will tell the sex of the baby so that people that don’t want baby girls can abort it
said Gill.
However, authorities who run one such type of clinic in Washington were reluctant to give any evidence regarding the ultrasonic data. But an Ottawa-based family rights group asserted that figures show a wide difference between the ratio of girls and boys.
We found gender imbalance between boys and girls looking at census data going back to as early as 1990
said Mrozek, of the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada.
Generally it is assumed that in India, female feticide is carried out by the illiterate class, hence, hour of the need is to educate those but what kind of education does these ‘literate class’ need who are making such unethical decisions?
Women Are So Special!!!!!
WHY WOMEN ARE SO SPECIAL . . .
Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mum said, "I'm tired, and it's
getting late. I think I'll go to bed."
She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's
lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the
freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box
levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the
table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.
She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes
into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She
picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on
the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer. She
watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to
dry. She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom.
She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted
out some cash for the excursion and pulled a text book out from
hiding under the chair. She signed a birthday card for a friend,
addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the
grocery store. She put both near her bag.
Mum then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night
Solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth
and filed her nails.
Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed."
"I'm on my way," she said. She put some water into the dog's dish
and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked and
the patio light was on. She looked in on each of the kids and
turned out their bedside lamps and radios, hung up a shirt, threw
some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation
with the one up still doing homework.
In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next
day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her
6 most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and
visualized the accomplishment of her goals.
About that time, Dad turned off the TV
and announced to no one in particular. "I'm going to bed." And he
did...without another thought.

Suicide is a philosophical problem of life. Did Soni have to die like this?
BANGALORE: "Being truthful and honest has cost me my life. I am giving it for a cause. Save working women from humiliation," was written in bold letters in one of her suicide notes.
Soni (25), a softwre engineer working with Nokia in Marathahalli, wrote three suicide notes on Thursday night, before hanging herself in her house at Jayanagar 9th Block. She said harassment by managers Teja and Suchin forced her decision.
Though Soni committed suicide on Thursday night, the incident came to light on Saturday morning. Her father Jagadish, an official with BSNL in Mysore, tried reaching her all through Friday, but there was no response. Growing suspicious, he called her landlord. When they broke open the door, Soni's body was found hanging from the ceiling fan.
"Soni was complaining of harassment by her managers for the past few days. We even met and spoke to them. They assured us everything will be fine," Jagadish said.
Soni addressed one of the suicide notes to her parents and brother Sunil, another to her friend Venkat, and the third one to the media and police. In the last mentioned, she pleaded for stringent action against the 'people/manager who torture'.
In the note to her family members, Soni said both Teja and Suchin pressurized her to quit the job. "I always performed well, they didn't find any reason. So the b******* gave me less work. When asked, they gave bull**** reasons that I didn't entertain guys/team... I can't quit until I get a visa, but I am in a bad phase of life. I am going to die," she wrote.
She asked her parents to give all her money to Venkat so that he could do his MS. In her note to Venkat, Soni advised him to either get married or go back to Chennai. She also requested him to expose the problems her managers created.
Tilaknagar inspector Srinidhi said the police have started the investigations. "We will take action as per law," he added.
Women using words
Fine:
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
Five Minutes:
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour.
Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
Nothing:
Thisis the calm before the storm. This means “something†and you should beon your toes. Arguments that begin with “nothing†usually end in “fine†.
Go Ahead:
This is a dare, not permission, DON’T DO IT!
Loud Sigh:
Althoughnot actually a word, the loud sigh is often misunderstood by men. A“Loud Sigh†means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she iswasting her time standing here and arguing with you over “Nothing†.
That’s Okay:
Thisis one of the most dangerous statements that woman can make to a man.“That’s Okay†means that she wants to think long and hard beforedeciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
Thanks:
Thisis the least used of all words in the female vocabulary. If a woman isthanking you. Do not question it, just say you’re welcome and back outof the room slowly.
Mothers Love
My mom only had one eye. I hated her... She was such an embarrassment. .
She cooked for students & teachers to support the family.
There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to
Say hello to me.
I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me?
I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.
The next day at school one of my classmates said, 'EEEE, your mom only
Has one eye!'
I wanted to bury myself.
I also wanted my mom to just disappear..
I confronted her that day and said, ' If you're only gonna make me a
Laughing stock, why don't you just die?'
My mom did not respond....
I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because
I was full of anger.
I was oblivious to her feelings.
I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her.
So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.
Then, I got married.
I bought a house of my own.
I had kids of my own.
I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts, Then one day, my
Mother came to visit me.
She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her
Grandchildren.
When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at
Her for coming over uninvited.
I screamed at her, 'How dare you come to my house and scare my
Children!'
GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!'
And to this, my mother quietly answered, 'Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have
Gotten the wrong address,'
And she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house.
So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip.
After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.
My neighbors said that she died.
I did not shed a single tear.
They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.
'My dearest son,
I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to your house and
Scared your children.
I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion.
But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you.
I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were
Growing up.
You see.........when you were very little, you got into an accident, and
Lost your eye.
As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you
Having to grow up with one eye.
So I gave you mine.
I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my
Place, with that eye.
With all my love to you,
Your mother.
Send this to at least 10 people in the next 5 minutes to show you love your mother.
If you don't then it shows you have no heart
Always tell someone that you love them because you never know what day
Will be their last, or your own.
Always seek to resolve your problems or disagreements with loved ones
Because if either of you should pass on before, the one who is left alive will have the rest of their life to ponder those unresolved feelings but will never find closure. And closure usually brings
Peace...
'I asked God, 'How do I get the best out of life?'
God said, 'Face your past without regrets. Handle your present with
confidence. And prepare for the future without fear!''
SANITARY NAPKINS/PADS
Do not use pad for more than 3 hours can cause cervical cancer & bacteria infection.
FOR THOSE OF US WHO USE SANITARY NAPKINS/PADS:
IF u ever wondered what were the ingredients that made popular brands so
'free! and light and carefree', well here's the bit:
The material that makes the pad so paper THIN, is cellulose gel. YEap,
it's not even cotton!!!!!!
DO NOT wear the same pad for more than 3 hours of a maximum!!! After
this duration, the genital area is prone to bacterial action and may
result in cervical cancer or other complications!!!!!!!!!!
REMEMBER! NEVER NEVER NEVER WEAR THE SAME PAD FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS!!!!
SO yes, please pass on this message to as many women as possible and
save lives!!!!!!!!!!
If you are a woman and use pads, but especially if you use tampons, read
this and pass it on to your friends. For the men receiving this email,
please forward it to your friends, significant others, wife, sisters, mothers,
daughters, etc. Thanks!
Check the labels of the sanitary pads or tampons that you are going to
buy the next time and see whether you spot any of the familiar signs
stated in this email.
No wonder so many women in the world suffer from cervical cancer and
womb tumors. Have you heard that tampon makers include asbestos in
tampons? Why would they do this?
Because asbestos makes you bleed more, if you bleed more, you're going
to need to use more. Why isn't this against the law since asbestos is so
dangerous? Because the powers that be, in all their wisdom (not), did
not consider tampons as being ingested, and, therefore, didn't consider
them illegal or dangerous.
This month's Essence magazine has small article about this and they
mention two manufacturers of a cotton tampon alternative. The companies
are: Organic Essentials @1-800) 765-6491 and Terra Femme @(800)755-0212.
A woman getting her Ph.D. at University of Colorado at Boulder sent the
following: 'I am writing this because women are not being informed about
the dangers of something most of us use: tampons. I am taking a class
this month and I have been learning a lot about biology and women,
including much about feminine hygiene. Recently we have learned that
tampons are actually dangerous (for other reasons than TSS). I'll tell
you this - after learning about this in our class, most of the females
wound up feeling angry and upset with the tampon industry, and I for
one, am going to do something about it To start, I want to inform
everyone I can, and email is the fastest way that I know how
HERE ! IS THE SCOOP:
Tampons contain two things that are potentially harmf ul: Rayon (for
absorbency), and dioxin (a chemical used in bleaching the products). The
tampon industry is convinced that we, as women, need bleached white
products in order to view the product as pure and clean. The problem
here is that the dioxin, which is produced in this bleaching process,
can lead to very harmful problems for a woman. Dioxin is potentially
carcinogenic cancer-associated)and is toxic to the immune and
reproductive systems. It has also been linked to endometriosis and lower
sperm counts for men. For both sexes, it breaks down the immune system.
Last September, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported that
there really is no set 'acceptable' level of exposure to dioxin given
that it is cumulative and slow to disintegrate. The real danger comes
from repeated contact Karen Couppert 'Pulling the Plug on the Tampon
Industry'). I'd say using about 4-5 tampons a day, five days a month,
for 38 menstruating years is 'repeated contact', wouldn't y! ou? Rayon
contributes to the danger of tampons and dioxin because it is a highly
absorbent substance. Therefore, when fibers from the tampons are left
behind in the vagina (as usually occurs), it creates a breeding ground
for the dioxin. It also stays in a lot longer than it would with just
cotton tampons. This is also the reason why TSS (toxic shock syndrome)
occurs.
WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES?
Using feminine hygiene products that aren't bleached and that are all
cotton. Other feminine hygiene products
(pads/napkins) contain dioxin as well, but they are not nearly as
dangerous since they are not in direct contact with the vagina. The
pads/napkins need to stop being bleached, but, obviously, tampons are
the most dangerous.
So, what can you do if you can't give up using tampons? Use tampons that
are made from 100% cotton, and that are UNBLEACHED. Unfortunately, there
are very few compani! es that make these safe tampons. They are usually
only found in health food stores.
Countries all over the world (Sweden, Germany, British Columbia, etc.)
have demanded a switch to this safer tampon, while the U.S. has decided
to keep us in the dark about it. In 1989, activists in England mounted a
campaign against chlorine bleaching. Six weeks and 50,000 letters later,
the makers of sanitary products switched to oxygen bleaching (one of the
green methods available) (MS magazine, May/June 1995).
WHAT TO DO NOW:
Tell people. Everyone. Inform them. We are being manipulated by this
industry and the government, let's do something about it! Please write
to the companies: Tampax(Tambrands), Playtex, O.B., Kotex. Call the 800
numbers listed on the boxes. Let them know that we demand a safe product
ALL COTTON UNBLEACHED TAMPONS.
AND FOR THOSE OF US WHO USE SANITARY NAPKINS/PADS:
IF u ever wondered what were the ingredients that made popular brands so
'free! and light and carefree', well here's the bit:
The material that makes the pad so paper THIN, is cellulose gel. YEAP,

Better to Start with TRUST, than Doubt!
Many men and women have had to deal with this tricky but important decision in one's life. Be it at work or personal life we all face relationship challenges from time to time. The media continues to provide us with a variety of negative stories of how people got cheated of their possessions. Yes, when you learn of the story, we most often tend to sympathise with the weak or the one who got duped.
When our subconscious mind unknowingly gets exposed to such stories time and again, our inner mind cautions us to be careful with any one and everyone. And here probably lies the mistake. We seem to take the 'one size fits all approach'. We begin our every interaction by being on guard with lots of self doubts about the intentions of the other person. Every move and every action of the other person is seen from a very suspicious angle.
To add to the confusion within one's mind, we have a host of internal enemies of the mind in terms of one's own ego, jealousy, desires, anger, greed, fears, insecurity and inferiority to deal with. All these tend to wreck havoc within otherwise innocent mind creating further doubts. Now we may consult other near and dear friends and relatives for help little realising that they are likely to be biased either in your favour or against depending on the situation. Their opinions whether you like it or not is likely to further aggravate your ever growing doubts of the other person in question.
Since selfishness and self centeredness is the core of human nature, the same translates into everyday behaviour based on pre existing mindsets that are already heavily conditioned over the years. These glue-like mindsets coupled with die-hard habits form Concrete Wall-like Attitudes. That is the very start of Difficult Behaviours from otherwise well meaning people.
If you do not trust yourself, how do you expect others to trust you?
If you do not believe in yourself, how do you expect others to believe you?
If you do not love yourself, how do you expect others to love you?
If you do not respect yourself, how do you expect others to respect you?
Why men are never depressed
WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED:
Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another petrol station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$200. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks.. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.
Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original colo ur. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.
You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.
You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24th in 25 minutes.
No wonder men are happier.
How to Fend Off Urinary Tract Infections
For women with painful urinary tract infections (UTIs), understanding and avoiding certain activities can lead to a happier and healthier life.
The ABCs of UTIs
The urinary tract carries liquid waste from the kidneys through the ureters to the bladder then out the urethra. A healthy bladder can hold between 10-20 ounces of urine at a time and triggers the urge to urinate when it's about half full.
When bacteria—typically E. coli—makes its way from the rectum and enters the normally sterile urinary tract, three types of infections can result:
- Urethritis: an inflammation of the urethra
- Cystitis: an inflammation of the bladder (the most common UTI)
- Pyelonephritis (or kidney infection): an inflammation of the ureters and the kidneys (the most serious UTI)
Typically, urethritis and cystitis don't pose serious health threats, although they generally need to be treated with antibiotics. If left untreated, the infection may spread to the kidney.
Symptoms of UTIs include:
- Painful, burning urination
- Constant urge to urinate, even for small amounts of urine
- Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
- Back pain
- Fever, chills, or nausea
- Bloody urine*
Contributing Factors
Experts agree that several key factors contribute to UTIs. These include:
Sex
Many women begin their struggles with UTIs when they become sexually active. According to Dr Gillespie, while it's natural for some bacteria to make their way into the bladder during intercourse, it doesn't have to lead to infection. Dr Gillespie wrote You Don't Have to Live with Cystitis. She points out that UTIs result when the bladder is not emptying properly or becomes overrun with bacteria, which can happen when an ill-fitted diaphragm partially blocks the bladder neck or when there are abrasions on urethral tissue to which bacteria can adhere. Abrasions can happen when too much spermicide burns the outer edge of the urethra, when sexual positions drag the urethra up and down repeatedly, or when vaginal dryness leads to irritation (as is often the case in menopausal women).
Fluids
Women who don't drink enough fluids might be more susceptible to UTIs because their bladders are never full enough to empty completely.
Bathroom Habits
Women who go to the bathroom infrequently may also be more likely to get UTIs because when urine stays in the bladder longer, more bacteria can multiply. Dr Gillespie encourages patients to go when they feel the need. While she says it's important to urinate after sex, Dr Gillespie advises women not to run from the bedroom to the bathroom to "piddle." She recommends drinking a glass of water before sex so that afterward the bladder will be at least half-full and can empty more efficiently. Women are also encouraged to wipe from front to back to avoid the spread of bacteria.
Other Irritants
Snug-fitting jeans, underwear and pantyhose with nylon crotches, and other apparel that continually rub against the perineum and labia might cause abrasions on the tender tissue where bacteria can latch on, adds Dr Gillespie. Leaving tampons in while urinating could partially obstruct the bladder neck; additionally, sanitary pads are great breeding grounds for bacteria. Dr. Gillespie advises women to change pads regularly and remove tampons with every trip to the bathroom.
Treatment: What to Do and What to Avoid
Following basic guidelines can help shorten UTIs and lessen their discomfort.
- Get relief: To ease pain and burning, doctors often prescribe pyridium, an anesthetic for the bladder that turns urine bright orange. Roberts warns that women who use these medications to mask symptoms without treatment might develop a kidney infections.
- Get cultured: Many doctors now prescribe antibiotics to women with recurrent UTIs without seeing them in the office each time. However, some physicians believe that it is essential to stress the importance of taking "clean" urine samples to ascertain which, if any, bacteria is present. Any woman who suffers five or more UTIs per year needs a complete urologic evaluation to see if she has other physical problems.
- Drink up: At the first sign of a UTI, experts advise women to drink plenty of water to dilute the bacteria in the bladder. This not only eases some of the discomfort, it also fills the bladder, which can then empty more completely. While cranberries contain a substance that appears to keep E. coli bacteria from attaching to the bladder lining, it doesn't kill the bacteria. That means cranberries are good for prevention, but not treatment, says Dr. Gillespie.
- Take your medicine:Evidence suggests that for uncomplicated bacterial UTIs three days of antibiotics are generally enough. Cases that quickly recur and kidney infections might require longer-term antibiotic use. Kidney infections are much more serious and may need to be treated with intravenous antibiotics. For women who experience UTIs after intercourse, some doctors recommend using prophylactic antibiotics before or after sex. Staying the course with treatment can help keep future infections at bay.

7 shades of love
"Love in the heart was not meant there to stay. Love is not love till you give it away". For love to be ever lasting and eternal every one should be aware of the different stages of love and know its significance. Following are the different phases through which you will travel in your love life and only those who pass it will have an endless love.
ATTRACTION
Attraction can be defined as something, which is more than friendship and is a step towards getting ready for a relationship. Now attraction is of two types:
a. Physical Attraction - happens when your body reacts to another person. Heart rate increases; temperature rises, palms get sweaty; stomach flutters; throat tightens; etc. This is what will tell you that you are ready for the first contact and also whether you are comfortable in the company of the other person.
b. Emotional Attraction - develops next if the circumstances are right. After being drawn to a person physically, you then begin to come closer. If you find you have things in common -- hobbies, ideologies, career, education, or some other common ground -- then an emotional attraction starts to form. Sometimes an emotional attraction can occur even when a physical attraction does not. And in this case, the bond will be stronger between the two who connect, since no preconceived notions based on physical appearance has occurred.
INTIMACY
Intimacy is something, which a person experiences when you learn to trust and believe your lover. It is a close association with another person of the deepest nature. You share you thoughts, feelings, and dreams. You feel free to discuss everything with this person and you are absolutely comfortable in his company. Thus intimacy develops gradually. If you can't establish intimacy with your partner, your relationship may work for a while, but is unlikely to endure throughout the years. Intimacy is actually the path to a true, healthy and beautiful relationship.
ROMANCE
Romance is the essence of a relationship. Without romance your love life will not exist. Romance is the true identity of your love. It brings out your true self and helps you be a better lover, husband and partner. Romance is a celebration of the life you live as part of a couple. It springs naturally and originates from within your heart. It makes you do things that you possibly couldn't have imagined to do otherwise. It shows you who you are and reminds you of the role you play in a relationship. Romance is not responsibility but it is caring about your responsibilities towards your lover and partner. Romance is the appreciation of two people who are celebrating the lucky coincidence that they found each other.
PASSION
The third stage is passion, which basically means a desire for another person, which has grown to an intensity that can't be ignored. This is often where an emotional relationship turns into a physical relationship. The passion stage is very important. For from here you will understand the true meaning and nature of your relationship. If there is no passion then its best to let go but if there is passion in your relationship then it is time to go on to the next stage.
COMMITMENT
The last stage is commitment. This is when you know that you want to spend your whole life with this person you love and you can do anything for him. It is when your whole world just revolves round your lover and you take a pledge to remain true to your mate throughout good and bad times, be by his side whenever he needs you.
Sex AFTER 50
Sex after 50: How to hold onto the passion
Aging affects your whole body, so it's bound to have an impact on sex. A Mayo Clinic specialist offers tips for a satisfying sex life as you grow older.
Dr. Janice Swanson
Though movies and television might tell you that sex is only for the young and beautiful, don't believe it. The need for intimacy is ageless. Sex may not be the same as it was in your 20s, but it can still be as fulfilling and enjoyable as ever.
What aspects of sex are likely to change as you and your partner get older? How can you both adapt to those changes? Janice Swanson, doctor of psychology, a licensed psychologist and a specialist in human sexuality at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., has some answers.
Why is sexual health and aging such an important topic?
The changes your body goes through as you age impact your whole sexual experience — not just your sexual function. Sex education in the U.S. focuses largely on coming into adulthood and not on what happens to your body during the aging process. When confronted with the normal changes of aging, you may feel as ill-prepared and awkward about sex as you did during your first sexual experiences as an adolescent.
Not much has been written about this complex transition, but that's changing. People are living longer than they ever have before, and many have the expectation of being sexually active for the majority of their years.
Specifically, what can you do to maintain a satisfying sex life as you get older?
Most important, communicate with your partner. It sounds simple, but it can't happen unless you actually set aside time to be sensual and sexual together.
When you're spending intimate time with your partner, verbalize your thoughts about lovemaking. Tell your partner what you want from him or her. Be honest about what you're experiencing physically and emotionally as your body undergoes the inevitable changes of aging.
More generally, it never hurts to do some reading. Learn about sex during the second half of life. Often, books include helpful exercises and suggestions — such as sensual massage, different types of foreplay and sexual variety — that can help you.
How do the changes in men's bodies as they age affect sexual health?
For men, testosterone plays a critical role in the sexual experience. Men's testosterone levels are highest in their late teens. After that, they gradually fall throughout the lifespan. By the time men reach age 60 to 65, most will notice a difference in their sexual response. The penis may take longer to become erect, and erections may not be as firm. It may also take longer to achieve full arousal and to have orgasmic and ejaculatory experiences.
Another significant change is in the actual chemistry of an erection. A chemical the body produces to help sustain engorgement of the penis has a shorter duration of activity as men get older. Drugs such as sildenafil (Viagra), vardenafil (Levitra) and tadalafil (Cialis) have been introduced to help with the general functioning of that biochemistry.
What physical changes in women as they age impact their sexual health?
As women approach menopause, they experience a hormonal transition very similar to the one they reached in adolescence — except that now, instead of starting up, their cycles are shutting down. The amount of estrogen their bodies produce declines. As a result, many women feel noticeably less receptive to their partners' sexual overtures. They also may miss that midcycle spark of interest that reproductive biology gave them. And because estrogen affects the brain, women may experience emotional changes as well.
What kinds of medical conditions can cause problems with sexual health?
Any condition that affects general health and well-being is also going to affect sexual function. Illnesses that involve the cardiovascular system, high blood pressure, diabetes, hormonal problems, depression or anxiety — and the medications used to treat these conditions — could pose a potential problem for your sexual health.
Your blood pressure, for instance, could affect your ability to become aroused, as could the medication you take to treat high blood pressure. For a man, this might mean difficulty in getting an erection. For a woman, it might affect how her clitoris engorges.
What people often don't think about is the emotional effects of having an ailment. After a heart attack, for instance, you could become depressed because the experience drove home the fact of your mortality. One of the symptoms of depression is the loss of pleasure or sexual interest. So even though the heart attack itself may have no direct effect on your sexual functioning, your emotions may disrupt it.
What can you do if you suspect your medications are having a negative effect on your sexual health?
Certain medications can inhibit each part of your sexual response, including your desire for sex, your ability to become aroused and your orgasmic function. If you think you may be experiencing sexual side effects from a medication, talk with your doctor. It may be possible to switch to a different medication with fewer known sexual side effects.
Don't let embarrassment keep you from asking for your doctor's help. But don't stop taking prescribed medication before discussing it with your doctor, either, even if that medication seems to be messing up your sex life. The results of quitting therapy can be much worse than the side effects.
The situation gets more complicated if you have to take not just one but several medications — each of which can have a different effect on your sexual function. In this case, sexual flexibility, including the type of sexual activity you engage in and how you approach it, can be helpful. Your sexual relationship can evolve to meet your changing medical circumstances.
How can surgical procedures have an impact on your sexual health?
Any surgical procedure that affects your pelvis and your central nervous system is going to have a temporary — but often significant — impact on how you respond sexually. Over the long term, though, the body is amazingly resilient. Given time for healing and some loving attention to stimulation, you can become sexually responsive again.
Is there any age at which you can stop being concerned about having safe sex?
No. People of all ages should remain vigilant about practicing safe sex. If you're having sex with new or different partners, talk with your doctor about your risk of sexually transmitted diseases.
If you're in a monogamous relationship, and you've both been tested twice, then you probably don't need to worry about protection. But you need to go through the process of finding out that you and your partner are disease-free. Until you know for sure, use condoms or some other form of protection.
What sexual health concerns are most common in long-term relationships, say 30 years or longer?
The most common concerns between couples are discrepancies of libido and maintaining passion for each other. Sexual concerns like these are normal. They're not a sign that the relationship is over. Instead, they're an opportunity for growth. If you don't know what's needed for you to grow or where to turn for help, you may avoid your partner's advances, rather than engage them. It's engagement that leads to growth and a much more fulfilling sexual experience for both of you.
What do you tell a couple when one wants to engage and one wants to avoid?
Couples can become polarized — one person initiates contact while the other avoids it. What's most helpful is to recognize that's what's happening. If you're the one who's mainly avoiding, you need to take charge of some engagement. And if you're the one who's already engaged, continue to tell your partner what you need, but try not to carry the sole responsibility for initiating every sexual experience.
Also helpful is to get an understanding — if you're in a heterosexual relationship — of how your opposite-sex partner's body really works. That way, you can appreciate the context of your partner's needs. It's often said that men have sex in order to feel close, and women need to feel close to have sex. You can find a middle ground, though. If men focus on being romantic and women put less effort into experiencing sex the same way men do, you can usually find the sexual flexibility that accommodates both your needs.
How can a couple adjust sexually when one partner becomes a caregiver to the other because of illness?
If you're the one who's ill, your sexuality may take a backseat to survival or treating your illness. Pain, discomfort, medications or worry can overshadow your sexual desire. If you're the caregiver, your sexual desire might be compromised by the stress of dealing with the situation or the demands of caring for your partner.
You both need to be able to grieve what's happening in your relationship. As a caregiver, be aware of your changing role. Find a way to set aside the caregiver role from time to time, and be a partner instead — so that you can relax and feel nurtured by your partner. That way, you can enjoy a mutually satisfying sexual encounter.
Where can a couple having problems find resources to help them out?
Start at a good bookstore with a well-stocked human sexuality section. You'll find helpful resources geared specifically toward sexuality during the second half of life. Beginning at a bookstore, rather than a video store, usually provides better references and resources for a couple seeking help.
Talk with your doctor if you and your partner have worked on a particular concern for six months and what you've tried just isn't working for you. Your doctor may be able to provide useful suggestions, or he or she can refer you to a sexual medicine specialist.
What are the main questions couples ask and how do you counsel them?
Often, couples ask, "What is normal?" There's a wide range of what's considered normal, and it varies depending on each individual and each relationship. More importantly, ask yourselves what is satisfying and mutually acceptable to the two of you. One partner may be ready for certain sexual experiences, but the other person isn't ready for that. You, as a couple, need to practice some sexual flexibility, understand where your bodies are in terms of age-related physical changes, and communicate your needs effectively.
Another question that comes up for couples in the second half of life is, "How do we handle these changes in our bodies?" Often, couples want to know how to get back sexual arousal and sexual activity that they experienced in their 20s, 30s and early 40s. Instead, think about how things are changing for you, and learn how you can optimize your body's response for sexual experiences in the here and now. This takes a combination of education, sexual flexibility, communication with your partner and understanding of each other's bodies.
Finally, couples often ask, "How do I tell my partner what I really need or what I really want?" You may be so worried about hurting your partner's feelings that you can't be candid about your needs. Deal with this concern by speaking about your own experience. Use "I" statements — such as "I think my body responds better when ... " or "I find that as I get older I need more touch all over my body ... " — to break down barriers in communication with your partner.
