Sex with an Uncircumcised Man

Written by Shaina Gaul on February 3, 2010 - 2:56pm

I’ll be honest; I had to do a lot of research before sitting down to write this article. I have only come into contact with one uncircumcised penis during my short stint as a single adult woman, and it didn’t really seem to be that big of a deal at the time.

Written by Mamta Singh on March 1, 2010 - 9:02pm

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (hereafter referred to as IPF for short), is a chronic and progressive disease of the lung wherein the lung tissues thicken, stiffen and scar without a definitive cause. Recent studies believe that scarring or an inflammatory response of the lung tissues begins when the tissues are repeatedly injured by some chemical or an unknown pathogen.

Gang Stalking: Psychological Targeting in a Group Setting

Written by Rheyanne Weaver on March 9, 2010 - 12:19am

The average functioning individual does not have a lot to be logically paranoid about. Sure, there's the occasional whisper that you overhear and think is about yourself. There's also the fear that someone is following you. Then there is gang stalking.

Written by Aimee Boyle on November 3, 2009 - 6:24pm

We've watched 'What Not To Wear' and have slowly begun collectively tossing our overalls forever and never, ever buying plastic belts, no matter how neon, gold or skinny-jean oriented they may be.

Written by Alison Stanton on March 19, 2010 - 7:07am

Acupuncture involves inserting and manipulating very thin needles into different points on your body to help relieve pain or for other healthful purposes. The word acupuncture comes from the Latin words "acus" meaning "needle" and "pungere" which means "to prick".

A Woman’s Heart, Anxiety vs. Heart Attack

Written by Mary Kyle on September 16, 2009 - 7:58pm

There is no doubt that women today are under more stress than ever. One of the “gifts” left to us by the women’s liberation movement is that we not only get to fry-the-bacon-up-in-a-pan at night, but we are also frequently out there in the workforce bringing-home-the-bacon as well.

Bed Bugs: Sleeping Alone?

Written by Kellen Wilson on March 19, 2010 - 12:38pm

Bed bugs are becoming an increasing problem in apartment complexes, hotels and dorms. Their bite does not hurt but will cause a skin lesion similar to a mosquito or flea bite and it may itch. Nasty as it sounds that you may be sleeping with bugs, there is some good news. Bed bugs are not known to transmit any infectious agents.

Teen Girls and Birth Control—How Young is Too Young?

Written by Lauren Proper on March 12, 2009 - 2:07pm

When I first talked with my parents about going to see a gynecologist and getting prescribed birth control pills, they freaked out. I was almost 17 years old and in a serious, long-term relationship. But the response I got was that I was being irresponsible just for having sex, and birth control was a no-go. A few months later, I had a pregnancy scare. I was lucky, but some young women aren’t.
