Abstinence There are a number of reasons why you might choose to abstain from sex: to avoid pregnancy out of wedlock, to avoid sexually transmitted diseases, to live with circumstances beyond your control (such as you can't find anyone desirable to have sex with you), to honor religious or philosophical convictions, to deal with a strong fear, or as a temporary break from an otherwise active life. Since sex is fueled by a strong biological drive, abstinence is not always easy. Thoughtful advice and practical information can help a lot. Web:
Aphrodisiacs An aphrodisiac is a substance, such as a food, drug or fragrance, that stimulates sexual desire. As long as there have been people, people have been looking for aphrodisiacs and there have been precious few. However, under certain circumstances the right accessories can change a possible situation into a real experience. (Remember in physics class, when a teacher used to go on and on about the difference between potential and kinetic energy? Now is your chance to put all that theory into action.) Turn to the Net and there's a good chance that you can find the information you need. And if you can't, you can always try my favorite trick, putting a copy of Harley Hahn's Student Guide to Unix under the pillow. Web:

Human Sexuality Sexuality means a lot more than sex. Sexuality affects how we act, how we dress, how we form relationships, how we relate to our society as a whole, and how we think about ourselves.

Safe Sex "Safe sex" refers to being able to carry out sexual activities in a way that is pleasurable, without exposing yourself to the risk of disease or unwanted pregnancy. Strictly speaking, there is no way to guarantee that any sexual activity will be 100 percent risk-free. For this reason, you will sometimes see the expression "safer sex", which is considered to be the more politically correct term by those people who care about such things. The basic idea of safe sex is to acquire good habits before you get too far into your sexual career. Learn the dos and don'ts, the ins and outs, and all the in-betweens of safe sexual practices. And if you still want to take risks, you can always jump out of an airplane. Web:
