Homemade Viagra! 

I don’t recommend putting a clove headband on to try to boost your sex life!  I have heard about “a girl being so ugly she has to hang a porkchop around her neck to get the dog to play with her.” but this couture garland thig is just stupid! 

Garlic has long been used as a spice and has been reported to possess medicinal and pharmacological properties. Several studies have indicated that garlic can lower blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol, but what is really exciting is what it can raise!  Indeed!  Testosterone and the body parts (ED) that need it are raised when you take Garlic.

Cameron Diaz -  raises more testosterone than Garlic

Surf babe Cameron Diaz, is a picture of health at the beach!  The sexy Charlie’s Angel loves a substantial breakfast of garlic and lemon chicken with broccolini  to give her the energy for hours of surfing.  I wonder if Garlic repels Paparazzi or Great White Sharks?  Testosterone boosts women’s bodies, and sex drive just like a man’s! 

This “guy” is several cloves short of a full bulb – “there ain’t enough Garlic in Italy to help this guy”

Garlic repels all forms of bloodsuckers actually- including Vampires, Mosquitoes, Ticks, and possibly Statists too!  Garlic’s healing powers come from the sulphorous compounds it contains (the same ones feed the bacteria in your mouth, causing bad breath and the natural insect repellant effect)!  Parsley is the best weapon against garlic breath and lonely nights.

So stock up on some parsley and mouthwash, and get to eating some garlic.  You’ll live better, look better, and have more sex!  I guess we could call Garlic – Mother Nature’s Roids!

Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) (commonly known as “man that insensitive woman is a dude!” syndrome)

It used to be easy to tell if a boy was a boy, and a girl was a girl.  Now, it isn’t.  We all know that “looks can be deceiving” so just a general inspection of a pection doesn’t always mean anything.  So, we had to turn to chromosomal analysis -you know, the XX and the XY thing?  Boys have the Y, the girls X.   Some men think that the absence of Y is a genetic defect!  LOL!  I know the women are convinced that a Y is a genetic anomaly.  With the concerns unfair advantages relating to performance enhancing testosterones, human growth hormone, and red blood cell stimulating factors – who knew that the discussion would turn back to gender!

Now we can’t even go by the XX, XY thing!  Turns out some women have an insensitive Y! 

Is this a man or a women?   To her father, at least, 18-year-old South African running sensation Caster Semenya is simply “daddy’s little girl.”

As the Jamican sprinter set records on the track there was an overwhelming concern that she was a he.  And, critics may be right!  Caster might be XY, and she might even have testes!  But she’ll end up a “woman”, because her body never responds to the testosterone she’s producing?  Signs of AIS include hairless genitalia and the absence of menstruation. (There are reports that Semenya had “not attained puberty yet.”)  “Since testosterone helps in building muscle and strength, a case of androgen insensitivity syndrome wouldn’t give an XY-female athlete any kind of competitive advantage; if anything, it would be a liability.” (assumed- I am not so sure of that)  Seven of the eight women who tested positive for Y-chromosomal material during the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta had some form of AIS. They were allowed to compete.  Fair?  Hmmm.

Mandatory gender testing of Olympic athletes was stopped altogether in 1999, but Olympic and IAAF rules allow for gender tests if an athlete’s gender is challenged by another athlete or team, or event officials.  I am not sure there is a reliable test these days!  Maybe we should give each athelete $100 and see what he/she buys.  If there are more than two pairs of shoes, and some lip gloss on the receipt we can rest assured this athlete sits down to pee.  If, however, there are seven beers,  chicken wings,  a tool belt and toilet paper on the receipts, he’s all male.

It does go both ways…

Rena (Rusty) Kanokogi – A Brooklyn judo champ was stripped of her first place medal when judges realized she was a woman competing in a contest against men.  She just got her medal back – 50 years later!  Women can compete as men, but men cannot compete as women apparently.  Athletes who have undergone sex-reassignment are allowed to compete alongside their new gender, provided they follow regulations… whatever that means.

Too Many Good Vibes

Sarah Carmen has 200 orgasms a day.  That’s right – and that is an average day.    This girl gets good vibrations from almost anything – a train, hairdryer, even the photo-copier are all enough to make her go oh oh oh, ahhhhh. If this were common, there would be fewer sick days in the office I am sure! Sarah, 24, suffers from Permanent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS), which increases blood flow to the sex organs.  You’d think this would be good, but unfortunately it can be very intrusive, embarrassing, and debilitating!  We may chuckle, but it is no laughing matter to those who have PSAS.  (Yes, even laughter can trigger an orgasm in Sarah)

Another young lady named Heather Dearmon with PSAS said, “To me this is a sickness.  This is not, it’s not something I’ve chosen. … I would rather never have another orgasm in my life for the rest of my life than to have this problem.”

Anorgasmia is the polar opposite -  another woman’s nightmare is another woman’s dream!

Primary anorgasmia is a condition where one has never experienced an orgasm. This is significantly more common in women than men.  Women can sometimes achieve a relatively low level of sexual excitement and may think of intercourse or other sexual activities as pleasant despite their inability to orgasm. They get most of their reward from touching, holding, kissing, caressing, attention, and approval. However, women who regularly achieve high levels of sexual response without orgasmic release of tension may find the experience frustrating. Emotional irritability, restlessness, and pelvic pain or a heavy pelvic sensation may occur because of vascular engorgement.   Regardless of having a caring, skilled partner, having adequate time and privacy, and having no medical issues which would affect sexual satisfaction, some women are unable to orgasm.

Orgasm Lights Up the Brain

Orgasm is a total body response, not just a pelvic event. Brain wave patterns have shown distinct changes during orgasm, and muscles in many different areas of the body contract during this phase of sexual response.   When looking at brain activity, it  lights up in some areas and shuts off in others during sexual activity.  There aren’t too many differences between men’s and women’s brains when it comes to sex. In both, the brain region behind the left eye, called the lateral orbitofrontal cortex, shuts down during orgasm.  (the seat of reason and behavioral control). When you have an orgasm, you lose control!  The brain during an orgasm looks much like the brain of a person taking heroin.  When a woman has sex, a part of the brain stem called the periaqueductal gray (PAG) is activated. The PAG controls the “flight or fight” response. Women’s brains also showed decreased activity in the amygdala and hippocampus, which deal with fear and anxiety.  These differences existed because women have more of a need to feel safe and relaxed in order to enjoy sex. The area of the cortex associated with pain was activated in women, which shows that there is a distinct connection between pain and pleasure.

Pleasure in Pain!

Geri Halliwell (former Spice Girl, “Ginger”) was wearing the tiniest of bikinis, frolicking on the beach with her new love Henry Beckwith.  We can hope her periaqueductal gray (PAG) was activated and her lateral orbitofrontal cortex shut off at least once that weekend! 

Natalie Imbruglia was voted as having some of the sexiest eyes in tinsel town

So, you can tell alot about a woman’s ability to orgasm by looking into her left eye!?!   Women, you better quit faking – we men now know the secret.  My medical recommendation to women, keep it to under 100 orgasms a day if possible. (left eye wink)
