You’ve seen those erectile-dysfunction drug ads on TV and online—even former Bears coach Mike Ditka barks at you to “get back in the game” in a Levitra commercial. Erection issues are plenty common, even in guys who aren’t as old as the famous Viagra pitchman, former senator Bob Dole. Seven percent of 18- to 29-year-old men and 9 percent of 30- to 39-year-olds are unable to achieve orgasm, according to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. But is a pill the answer for you? What Can You Expect from Drugs? The class of drugs that Levitra,…
Sex problems If you are experiencing sex problems, you will probably be feeling very alone and helpless. Shame, fear and embarrassment are other common emotions felt by people living with sexual dysfunction, and many will suffer for months, even years in silence – too afraid to discuss their concerns with anyone. Sex problems are very common, and can occur for a number of reasons. In the majority of cases they are linked to other challenges and difficulties. For example, when you are feeling stressed and have a lot on your mind, you don’t often feel like having sex or being…
Psychotherapy If sexual issues are preventing true closeness between you and your partner, you may want to consider some form of therapy. If the problem is a lack of knowledge about sex, your health care provider or a sex therapist can teach you (and your partner) about the sexual response cycle and the elements of sexual stimulation. Armed with this new knowledge, many couples can go forward on their own. Psychotherapy can help a woman identify problems in her life that may be expressed as sexual problems. For some women these problems are fairly clear, including past sexual or other…

When I was teaching high school, we would cover human reproduction for about 2 weeks in the spring semester of Biology. Sometimes the students would get an additional unit in Health class, but that was it, unless they elected to take Anatomy/ Physiology. The students always had tons of questions. Questions like, “Is it true that you cannot get pregnant by putting Coke (Coca-Cola) in your [vagina]?” or “Can you get pregnant by going down on a guy?” Despite having the access to contraception via a medically staffed satellite health clinic on campus, and getting some education in school, kids were…
Teaching about sexuality encourages students to develop a coherent set of personal values based upon respecting themselves and others. Students who understand and value themselves and others are better equipped to develop meaningful and respectful relationships. They are able to take a positive approach to managing their lives and develop the necessary skills to prepare them for current and future life challenges. Sexuality education lays the foundations for students by learning the correct names for parts of the body, understanding principles of human reproduction, exploring family and interpersonal relationships, learning about safety, and developing confidence. These can then be built…
Looks like it’s one step forward and one step back for Kansas. Last week, a committee in the statehouse squashed a bill that would have expanded spanking rights in schools. That’s a point for student rights. Another two bills were introduced this month in the state House and Senate that would require parental consent before kids would be allowed to take sex education classes. State law currently allows local school boards to decide whether they want to require parents to approve sex education for their kids. Republican state Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook sponsored bills S.B. 376 and H.B. 2620 after a constituent came…
In the school where I work, I teach a lot of very factual sex education to teenage boys. In an ideal world, I’d have time to get to know each class and we’d be able to talk honestly about our hopes and fears and feelings. But there isn’t an exam in sex education, so the subject gets squeezed to the edges of the curriculum and, in some schools, squeezed out altogether. In the brief time I have with each class, I talk a bit about the importance of relationships and love but the teenagers sitting there are far more interested…
In the 14 years or so since Viagra was introduced in 1998, the number of men diagnosed with erectile dysfunction (ED) has increased by a whopping 250 percent. Men are realizing more and more that they’re not alone and that they have options. Aside from pills like Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis, for example, there are surgical, therapeutic, even do-it-yourself treatments that can bring back that lovin’ feeling. “Some older ED treatments are actually being used more than ever, especially for men who can’t take the pill,” says Michael Feloney, MD, a urologist at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.
