It might be a professional rate of 6 cents a word or a semi-pro rate of 1/2 a cent per word, but it is still paying. What I have seen of romance markets is that they offer royalties and no advance like many small publishers of novels these days. Which isn't to say you won't make money. Some authors do well. Some do better self-publishing. Some sell a story and later self-publish it when the rights revert back to them. </span><br />

We talked about the benefits of writing short stories, the process of submitting and how to analyze a market one might want to break into. One of the popular romance markets is Woman's World, though in the previous two blog posts I list many other romance specific markets and markets that accept fiction that are open to romance. Below is information on Woman's World.</span></span><br />

guidelines: <br />
<br />
We buy contemporary romances of 800 words. Stories must revolve around a
compelling, true-to-life relationship dilemma; may feature either a female or
male protagonist; and may be written in either the first or third person.
Characters may be married, single, divorced or widowed; should be down-to-earth
(no yuppies or jet-setters); and their dilemma should be poignantly or
humorously conveyed. Please think carefully about a story's setting, mood and
plot, and tell the story with interesting action and dialogue. (Every sentence,
paragraph, and scene of the story should deliver more information about your
characters and their situation and/or briskly advance the storyline). <br />
<br />
We are not interested in stories involving life-or-death matters, nor are we
interested in fluffy, flyaway-style romance. When we say romance, what we
really mean is relationship--whether it's just beginning or is about to
celebrate its 50th anniversary. The emphasis in our stories is on real
life-which is why we do not buy science fiction, fantasy or historical romance.<br />
<br />
We pay $800 per romance and retain First North American Serial Rights for six
months after publication.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mini mystery guidelines: <br />
<br />
We purchase short "solve-it-yourself" mysteries of 700 words--a count
that includes the narrative and the solution. Stories should be cleverly
plotted, entertaining cliffhangers that end with a challenge to the reader to
figure out whodunnit or howdunnit. The solution to the mystery is provided in a
separate box.<br />
<br />
Robbery, burglary, fraud and murder are acceptable subjects, but spare the
readers any gory details or excessive violence, please! We are also not
interested in ghost stories, science fiction or fantasy.<br />
<br />
We pay $500 per mystery and retain First North American Serial Rights for six
months after publication.<br />
<br />
<br />

I have often been told that "there are no romance markets for short stories" so there is no point in writing them. That simply is not true. What I have found is that there are markets but the ones that pay well are difficult to break into. There are many that don't pay professional rates (higher that 6 cents a word) and many are based on royalty only. In my research, the following list shows magazines, anthologies and online websites to submit to. These are all paying markets, either x cents a word or a flat fee.<br />
<br />
If you find any are no longer active or you want to add one to the list, please let me know.<br />

Delilah Marvelle is a historical romance writer, sexual
history buff and author of Lord of Pleasure and Mistress of Pleasure. Each
month, Delilah features a different sexually educational article on her blog.
January’s blog is called, The Art of Flagellation in which you can learn who
invented a machine in the 1800’s that could whip 20 people at once, which
country was reputed to be the ‘home of the art of flagellation’ and other
interesting facts. The November 2009 article, Aphrodisiacs for Freaks covers
strange aphrodisiacs used throughout the ages. June 2009, Lord of Gallantry,
talks about what risqué subjects were censored from Shakespeare’s plays for the
modern audience. Delilah’s blog makes history fun, delving into the clandestine subjects
the average person would like to know more about. </div>

Dating a Narcissist is not fun. They make you feel important in the beginning, but end up being an emotional vampire in the end who is full of drama, temper tantrums and takes advantage of you. You might not even know you've dated a narcissist. Although there certainly is a range and spectrum of narcissism, clinical Narcissistic Personality Disorder affects 1% of the population. According to a study by Twenge and Campbell in 2009, the rate of NPD his more than doubled in ten years. There are ways to recognize signs that someone is a narcissist.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
According to the Mayoclinic.com, these are traits of
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).</div>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Believing that you're better
than others</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Fantasizing about power,
success and attractiveness</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Exaggerating your
achievements or talents</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Expecting constant praise and
admiration</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Believing that you're special
and acting accordingly</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Failing to recognize other
people's emotions and feelings</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Expecting others to go along
with your ideas and plans</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Taking advantage of others</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Expressing disdain for those
you feel are inferior</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Being jealous of others</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Believing that others are
jealous of you</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Trouble keeping healthy
relationships</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Setting unrealistic goals</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Being easily hurt and
rejected</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Having a fragile self-esteem</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Appearing as tough-minded or
unemotional</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A person with NPD exhibits unrealistic self-confidence while
expecting others to agree with or bend to his or her expectations and schedule,
often bursting into a temper if they don’t get their way. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So what does this look like in real life?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Real examples of phrases that demonstrate narcissistic
tendencies can be easily found in Portland Craigslist personal ads. Here are
examples of phrases that serve as red flags for narcissistic traits (whether
these men are narcissists is unknown, but they advertise themselves in what isn’t
their best light):</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“In a city this size there must be one woman who has a soul
coupled with an interest in getting to know me.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
"Hot SWM Looking for Hot date"</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
"Handsome business exec looking for you to show me a good time"<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Notice how these ads brag about qualities and/or expect someone to entertain them or be good enough for them? These are people to avoid. I wanted to list some ads that women posted but after skimming a hundred of them, I couldn't find any. Not that I think women can't be narcissists, but maybe women don't present themselves that way in writing. If anyone has examples of female narcissistic headers in personal ads, feel free to post them.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Over the last few years there has been hype centered around the book, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Secret</i>. Everyone is “manifesting”
what they want through a combination of psychology (a.k.a. positive thinking),
supposed quantum physics (the law of attraction and aligning yourself with what you want
to bring into your life), and spirituality (asking for the universe to help
you). </span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Here
are the basic components of asking and receiving what you want:</span></div>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0in;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 200%; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">Decide what you
want. (Actually, this is way harder than it sounds.)</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 200%; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">Align yourself
with what you want. (If you want to be rich, live like you are rich, if
you want to attract a cheerful, funny mate behave that way yourself.)</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 200%; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">Visualize what
you want. (See yourself driving a Mercedes or I suppose, for some, fantasize
about sleeping with a really hot girl named Mercedes.)</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 200%; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">Go after what
you want. (Okay, this one I added from my own personal experiences.
But I’m not New-Agey enough to think that by never leaving your house and
only daydreaming about what you want, can you really get it. believe in being proactive.)</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 200%; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">Be thankful.</span></li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">So here is a little anecdote from my own love life (or
lack of) to demonstrate. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Once upon a time, I lived in Japan. A few months after I arrived, I decided that I wanted to have a
Japanese boyfriend. After all, I was in Japan. I did want to be
multicultural and internationalize and all that jazz. As soon as this international
mindset swept over me, I was asked on three dates in one week, all by men from
different cultures. The weird thing is, I really didn’t do anything to cause
any of these dates other than go to the same public places I always went to. One man was Indian who I met in a dance class, another was a
bartender from Mexico
who I sometimes spoke with (okay, flirted with), and the other was a Japanese
man who went to the same dance studio where I took classes. Even though I’d known them all for months, they all asked me on a date the same week. It was quite thrilling. So I
went on three dates that week, decided I was completely overwhelmed and didn’t
want to date three men at the same time. (Three is a bit much!) Then they all
vanished within two weeks, which was fortunate because I knew none of them were
really right for me. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">So one could say I followed the 5
step program above, asked and received, but realized that wasn’t what I
wanted. I had to start over. This time I tried to visual one man and I decided
he should be Japanese because if I had a Japanese boyfriend it would motivate me
to want to learn Japanese, help me be a cultural ambassador, etc.. I then
visualized my really hot break dance teacher. Well, I kept trying to visualize,
but I didn’t do a very good job because negative thoughts would invade
my head like: Why would he like me?— I’m his student. Why would he like me?—
I’m his <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">worst</i> student. Why would he
like me?— I don’t wear designer sweats and heavy make up in his dance classes
like those tiny, waif-like Japanese girls. Etc. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">One day (whether or not it was
related to positive thinking or not is difficult to prove), I thought, “I want Mr.
Hot Dance Teacher to invite me into his staffroom to talk with him and give me
a present.” The present I was imagining in my mind was, naturally, a kiss. Two
days later, he did invite me to sit down and talk with him in the staffroom and
he did give me a present. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a kiss. It was incense. Still
kind of nice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">But I continued to go back and
forth thinking: Does he like me? No, he doesn’t. Maybe I don’t want a boyfriend
who can’t speak English. Yes, I do, I want my hot dance teacher. Yeah, but why
would he want me?</span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Could it be that the reason my hot
dance teacher was hot and cold in his display of feelings, one day adjusting my
posture in a very hands-on, intimate way and then the next day practically
ignoring me, because I subconsciously exuded these hot cold thoughts of yes,
no, yes, no? Not surprisingly, he found a cute, Japanese girlfriend who is
a good dancer and wears designer sweats and lots of makeup. My internal
monologue came true to my despair. (Fortunately, his girlfriend was really nice
to me and I liked her very much.)</span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Next, I focused all my fantasizing
on my pretend boyfriend, Captain Jack Sparrow. Really, I don’t want Jack as a
boyfriend, I just tell everyone at work that I do. Then again, Johnny Depp
is pretty hot, so maybe I wouldn’t mind having him as a boyfriend. And there
are no self-conscious or negative thoughts that get in the way of my adoration
for Jack (like there was for Mr. Hot Dance Teacher) because, Jack isn’t real. So
everyday when I taught English to my students, I would randomly
throw in, “Who is my boyfriend?” or “What time did I go on a date with Jack
Sparrows last night?” The best game was the Pictionary game that for the final
round and 100 pt. bonus question they had to draw the sentence, “Captain Jack
Sparrows love Chastity.” I was pleased, though not really amazed after a year of
prepping them, that they actually were able to guess the sentence after two
minutes.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">With all this positive visualization, is it really so shocking I did eventually meet the man who fit Jack Sparrow's description? I was in a little bakery outside the Kotoni station in Sapporo when this gorgeous, man walked in. And I swear to god, he
looked like Captain Jack Sparrows. He was a foreigner like me with a goatee and the long dark hair,
though not quite as long or dread-lockish as Jack’s, but still quite nice. He
wore a bandana and slightly odd, mismatched clothes. His eyes were dark, framed
by such thick lashes I at first thought he wore black eyeliner. Not only was I
drooling, but completely in shock. Here was my pirate. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">I made eye contact and smiled at
him. Unfortunately, I was so shocked and unprepared for the actual event of
seeing the man I had been fantasizing about, I couldn’t think of anything to say.
I tried to gather up the courage to make small talk or ask him if he could read
one of the signs in kanji as a rouse to talk to him, but alas, the English
language completely failed me. Then he escaped before I could buy my break
items and was gone.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">So for two entire weeks, I thought
of all the things I could say to him, and fantasized even more about pirates. Then in the Odori Subway Station, after I had just finished teaching my
volunteer belly dance class, and was dressed in long black and white striped
pants and a pirate belly dance costume with a modest cover-up shirt when I had
the silly thought: I was dressed like a pirate and like attracts like, so it
would be only fitting if I bumped into the good-looking Jack Sparrows look-alike.
It was just a random, goofy thought in my head. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">How incredible, and slightly
humiliating (I was dressed like a pirate!) that I should randomly see him in
the subway minutes later. I was so shocked, even more so than the first time,
and just smiled and walked past him. Then I decided, no, I must go talk to him.
So I sucked up the courage and went over and said hi. Then, of course, when I
spoke I sounded like an idiot. I think I said something like, “You look like a
pirate. I like pirates.”</span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">He looked over my unusual attire
and said in a sexy French accent, “Oh, really? I wouldn’t have
guessed,” or something along those lines.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">This is a
good example of four of the steps from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
Secret</i>. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">I declared what I wanted: Jack Sparrow. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">I aligned myself by acting
like he already was my boyfriend in my fantasies and when I spoke about him and I dressed like a pirate. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">I visualized what I wanted. I didn’t
even have to do anything. It just happened. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Then I was proactive and actually
spoke with him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Of course, that way way back in Japan. I'm really more into Mr. Darcy these days. . . . At least, someone is like Mr. Darcy in his conduct.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Here's me being proactive here. . . </span><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">if anyone <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">happens</i> to know any
gentlemen that look like pirates, preferably the Captain Jack Sparrows kind (not the
have-no-teeth-and-a-peg-leg-kind) who behave in a most gentlemanly manner like Mr. Darcy, feel free to steer him my way.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">What gentleman or gentle lady are you going to manifest with your fantasies, the books you read and the attire you wear? </span>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Recently,
a friend recommended Anthol Kay's blog <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Married
Man Sex Life</i>. </span>His approach is to combine a variety of relationship advice
from "evolutionary psychology, Pickup Artist “Game”, sociology, biology,
life experience, romance novels, crappy women’s magazines, far too many books,
blogging, behavior modification and cheap porn." As such, you can imagine
a slight player approach to getting his results-- namely how to increase sex in
a married man's life. His basic plan trains men to become alpha males (becoming
sexually attractive for a woman) while maintaining beta qualities that make a woman
want to stay with a man. According to Kay, Alpha qualities are characteristics like
being rich, ambitious, handsome, assertive, protective, funny, riding a
motorcycle, being good at something like dancing, music or having other
talents. Beta qualities would be making a wife chicken soup when she is sick,
picking up her dry cleaning and helping with dishes. Men who tend to be natural
Betas are more likely to be willing to learn to be Alpha to please a mate. Natural Alphas pretty much do what they want. They are less likely to possess a willingness to learn new skills.<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">According
to Roy Huggins, graduate of Portland
State University
with a master’s degree in psychology and current counselor, “</span>Aptitude is
generally attractive, especially for women (for men, too.<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> </span>It's just that men are also heavily
influenced by boobs, etc.)<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> </span>Aptitude
in something that the viewer thinks is important and is<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> </span>especially attractive. Most people don't get turned on by an<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> </span>effective chess player -- unless they're
really into chess. But some<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> </span>things
feel<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> </span>important to pretty much all
people. I recall that in the<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> </span>late
90s, when American society started to realize that technical<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> </span>aptitude was extremely valuable for
financial success, geeky guys (who<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> </span>possess
a certain minimum of social skill) suddenly had a much easier<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> </span>time getting dates. Also, in communities
centered around an activity<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> </span>(i.e.
co-ed clubs or studios/schools where people study things like<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> </span>dance and martial arts) the most expert
members tend to attract<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> </span>romantic
attention from their peers. Quite often these people are men,<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> </span>but not always.<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">”<span style="color: black;"></span></span><br />
<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Summarizing
this, having skills is attractive. Whether you hangout with a bunch of bowlers
or are in an art community, and you are able to show off your skills in such a way
that they flatter you, you are more likely to attract someone. As such, one
might reason that the more abilities or aptitudes one has and the better one
can perform them, the more likely he/she has in attracting a mate . . . or
date. And these are especially important if you are a man. So keep that in
mind, gentlemen.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Take a moment to think about the skills, talents and abilities you excel in. Are you showing them off? I don't mean brag about them. Are you actually singing in public, karaoke, in a choir if you are a singer? If you know how to tango dance, do you attend milongas and drop in classes? Do you meet up with, network or mentor other professionals in your field? When you write a personal ad, do you mention things you are good at? (Listing sleeping, eating and playing video games are not going to impress anyone.) </span><br />
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; mso-fareast-language: JA;">If you don't think you are good at anything, you need to ask someone you know. Or maybe you need to develop an aptitude in something.</span></div>

Okay,
it isn’t exactly a little known fact that Valentine’s Day is a holiday for
women. Well, married women and women with boyfriends or girlfriends. Except in Japan.
Men get showered with gifts of chocolate! There is a separate holiday to give
gifts to women. When I lived in Japan,
woman complained they gave far more chocolate away than they received.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
That still doesn’t solve the problems of being alone on what is supposed to be
the most romantic day of the year. To temporarily alleviate this problem,
consider indulging is a little chocolate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Besides being an aphrodisiac, chocolate has many chemicals and endorphins
that cause you to feel good . . . even when your life otherwise sucks.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br />
So,
throw a party, invite friends over to watch (and possibly make fun of) a corny
romantic movie, build up your nerve to ask someone out on a date, go out on a
“date” with a friend. <span style="line-height: 200%;">But no matter what, include chocolate in your plans. Or any other comfort food that will make you feel good and conquer the Valentine's Day Depression.</span><span style="line-height: 200%;"> </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 200%;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 200%;">On Valentine's Day, prior to this day, or even after this day, is a good time for creating a personal ad. It is my personal and unofficial observation that there is an increased presence and use in personal ads in January and February. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br />
If
you are looking for a long term solution to this problem, consider reading post for that comes out later this month: Aptitude for Sexiness and next month's Manifesting Your Mojo. That way, next year you
will have a date when the big V-Day rolls around.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
The only real way
to prevent the sluggishness, overweight, depression, winter hibernation and
overindulgence of comfort foods is to exercise.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br />
Aerobic activity increases the heart rate, blood flow, and circulation
which means it is easier to become aroused. If you are worried about smelling,
you can always shower together. On the other hand, sweat contains pheromones,
or sexual hormones, a key ingredient to sexual chemistry. Usually if you use
deodorant, fresh sweat doesn’t smell bad. Only when bacteria is left and grows
is there the putrid smell associated with B.O..<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Besides the
instant benefits of circulation and hormones, exercising regularly will help
the overall sex drive in men and women. Regular aerobic activity provides more
energy, circulation, a balanced immune system and battles depression. But
physical exercise before going to bed with someone also provides the body with
a release of extra hormones, pheromones and increase in circulation which will
aid in the ability to ahem, GET IT ON! Oh, yeah, and people always talk about
how many calories are burned when you have sex, too. I guess that depends on
how aerobic you are.<br />
<br />
Here are a few ideas for exercise to increase circulation and getting those pheromones rolling:<br />
<br />
Go the to the gym together.<br />
Take a stroll after dinner.<br />
Go dancing. Ladies love a man who can dance. And they'll love a man who just tries to dance too!<br />
Yoga or meditation.<br />
Hiking in a scenic forest.<br />
A walk in the moonlight.<br />
Sunset on the beach.<br />
Play a sport.<br />
If you happen to be taking dance classes and want to show off, your partner will probably be a willing subject.<br />
Vacuuming--way more romantic if a man does this as chore play to show off how great he is to his wife.</div>

Antibiotics can render birth control's function as nonexistent. I'm actually surprised how many pharmacists don't mention this when people pick up their antibiotics--even when asked if the medication could have effect other medication. Really, I am speaking from personal experience. I once asked my pharmacist directly after my consult whether it could interact with my other medications.<br />
<br />
He said, "No."<br />
<br />
I said, "Um . . . what about my birth control?"<br />
<br />
"Oh, well, yeah."<br />
<br />
Considering I had just been at an alternative school and taught a class of teenage mothers and heard them discuss how many were pregnant because they didn't realize antibiotics negated birth control, it came as no surprise the local pharmacist was negligent. Though, I have sense learned no pharmacist ever mentions the causation between birth control, antibiotics and pregnancy.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01440798480002534874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473039200287376109.post-20681424398846963262013-12-10T09:29:00.000-08:002013-12-10T09:29:00.344-08:00How scent attracts the opposite sex<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Have you ever noticed how
certain smells effect your mood? For example, the smell of Oregon rain might make one feel refreshed.
The smell of baked goods makes one feel cozy and at home. That’s not all smells
can do; they can also stimulate the libido!</span></h1>
<h1 align="left" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Recently, studies have shown
how spicy smells affect the libido. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">Dr.
Alan Hirsch, </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-language: JA;">author of <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">What Flavor is Your
Personality</span>, researcher and founder of </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">the
Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, has studied the effects of various
smells which arouse men and women. Among men, the spicy smell of cinnamon rolls
and pumpkin pie ranked as the number one olfactory sexual trigger, increasing
sexual stimulation by 40%, measured by penile blood flow. </span></h1>
<h1 align="left" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">It would seem that men want women to be made out of sugar and spice and
everything nice. </span></h1>
<h1 align="left" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">Other scents stimulated men
on lower levels, but there weren’t any food scents that sexually repulsed men.
Women on the other hand, were aroused by scents like licorice, baby powder,
citrus and cucumber, which increased their libido by up to 14%, but smells like
charcoal barbeque smoke and cherry scent decreased their arousal by 18 %! </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;"></span></h1>
<h1 align="left" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;">And bad news for men--the smell of cologne also decreased women’s arousal. </span></h1>
<h1 align="left" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-language: JA;">The moral of this story is
that the best colognes for men and women are baked goods with lots of cinnamon
and spices. And in order for you or your house to smell like baked goods, it
helps to know how to make them. That in itself can be pretty sexy for attracting
women. </span></h1>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Often in the past, aphrodisiacs have been rare, expensive and even dangerous items such as Spanish fly, powdered rhino’s horn and tiger testicles. The psychology behind believing such substances were aphrodisiacs may be because they are rare and difficult to obtain. Therefore, one who can acquire them is more powerful and virile. Because specific animals are seen as having strength or sexual superiority by some cultures, the animals are then considered to possess this power in their sexual organs and therefore thought to pass ability on to men who consume these ingredients.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Other infamous aphrodisiacs such as Spanish Fly, Cup of Gold, and belladonna are dangerous. Spanish Fly is actually a beetle that causes urinary tract irritation which one registers as a sexual feeling, but it also causes permanent kidney and genital damage. Cup of Gold is a plant also known as solandra brevicalyx, solanaceae. This Central and South American flower can lead to death through excessive sexual drive. Yow! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Belladona is another plant in the solanacea, or nightshade family, that can cause a variety of side effects, among them, <span style="color: black;">hallucinations, psychotic behavior, respiratory arrest, convulsions and coma</span>. It is also easy to buy on the internet and in some herbal shops. I actually was surprised to find a bottle of homeopathic medicine of belladonna in my local health food store in Portland, Oregon. Though, I am sure the dosage is minuscule so that someone doesn’t overdose, I am not going to mention the store that sells it, as there are other herbs far safer and better to use.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
So instead of going out there and buying powdered rhino horn (which is an endangered species because people still kill them for their horns which are sold on the black market as aphrodisiacs),or applying black pepper to the genitals as was done a thousand years ago in China, consider if such methods are truly worth it. Try the safest and most potent natural Viagra’s: yohimbe bark or damiana. You can buy either as herbal tinctures in most health food stores. I have also found damiana alcohol sold in a liquor shop in a bottle in the shape of a woman’s body.<br />

Aphrodisiacs have been around for thousands of years. Two thousand years ago men applied black pepper to their genitals to cure impotence, men still ingest dangerous substances such as Spanish Fly and belladona, endangered animals are poached in order to be made into aphrodisiacs. When Viagra first came out it was pretty
common to hear stories about old men with heart conditions who weren’t supposed
to take it, yet they found a way to acquire some and then died. Hopefully
happy.<br />
<br />
As an alternative to black market aphrodisiacs
that kill endangered species—or you, let’s look at some cheap, natural ingredients
and supplements. These aphrodisiacs work by aiding in sexual function naturally by making up for the nutrition that the body is lacking.</div>

impotence, often mixed with wine in Great Britain
and Rome.
Cloves are reputed to be a male aphrodisiac because of their shape, especially
in Indonesian culture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From ancient China, to Islam to the Greeks, ginger
has been considered an aphrodisiac and cure all for many problems. Ginger is
commonly used as a digestive aid, anti-inflammatory, and increases blood flow.
Recently in a study in Nigeria
at the College of Medicine at the University of Ibada,
the effects of ginger on sexual functioning were tested on rats. The finding showed
that after the eight days the rats were given ginger infused water, they
experienced an increase of testosterone levels and also experienced an increase
of weight in their testes.</span></span></h1>
<h1 align="left" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Another sexual stimulant commonly found in a kitchen
is honey. </span><span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Honey is a great source of B vitamins which
is needed for testosterone production. It also contains boron which helps the
body metabolize estrogen in women and possibly enhances blood levels of
testosterone in men. Molasses is a great source of iron, magnesium, chromium,
and potassium, all being especially important in sexual hormone production for
men.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"></span></span></h1>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">That means holiday
foods—which you probably thought you should stay away from—like pumpkin pie,
spice cake, and gingersnaps are actually good for you. To maximize the effects
of these ingredients, try adding a teaspoon of ginger and molasses to apple pie and apple
crisp, add cinnamon to blackberry pie and cherry cobbler. Not only will your
secret ingredient be delectable to the palette, but be infusing aphrodisiacs
into your diet.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
Research done by the Health
Professional Follow-Up Study found that regular exercise, weight loss, and
weight maintenance were all “bedroom boosters”. Prescriptions, diet and exercise are considered science but the realm of
aphrodisiacs are erroneously considered magic.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
Some conservatives will claim that
herbs and “potions” are witchcraft. It’s true that wise women who knew of
medicinal cures long ago were thought of as witches—and sometimes burned at the
stake for it. But cooking with aphrodisiacs is no more witchcraft than
pharmaceuticals, nutrition or psychology.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
The idea behind aphrodisiacs is
that they aid in curing sexual inadequacies, whether those problems may be mental or
physical. In reality, most aphrodisiacs are not true cures, but are herbs, vegetables
and fruits rich in specific vitamins that heighten the body’s sexual
functioning.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
Hundreds of years ago, introducing
a new exotic food into European culture from the Americas like chocolate or tomatoes
did have a stimulating effect on the body, supplementing people with vitamins
they normally wouldn’t eat. Exotic foods like coffee or rare foods like
truffles were difficult to obtain, so eating a reputed aphrodisiac had
nutritional benefits. A boost of Vitamin A, B, C, etc. can increase energy,
stamina and overall well being. Small doses of caffeine increase energy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
Another way aphrodisiacs work is
that they stimulate the psyche if one is eating a food or meal that reminds
them of sexual organs such as bananas, asparagus, oysters or figs. In times of
the past, people used food that symbolically resembled parts of a man or
woman’s body in rituals, potions and cooking to inspire arousal. The
subconscious isn’t a bad way to go. All seeds and nuts were symbols of fertility
and virility because they represented male or female organs. Plants such as
cucumbers, bananas and carrots are considered phallic because of their long,
slender shape. Oysters and figs are symbolic of female organs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
Between the psychology and
nutrition of aphrodisiacs, usually that is all one needs in order to benefit.
But in some circumstances, the body needs more. Sometimes one needs something
to enhance the libido. That is where true aphrodisiacs come in. Damiana,
yohimbe bark, chocolate, and fava beans stimulate serotonin and dopamine and
help decrease depression. Some plants have natural hormones or help increase
hormones needed for sexual function such as soy which contains phytoestrogen
for women, or ginko for men. Other herbs that promote circulation include
ginger, and capsaicin (chili pepper).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
In some cases when that isn’t
enough, there are still other factors to examine such as exercise and medical
conditions. For more information on this, see previous posts <span style="line-height: 200%;">"Out of Order: 30 million American Men Battling Sexual Dysfunction" and </span><span style="line-height: 200%;">"Out of Order: Sexual Dysfunction Solutions." More posts on aphrodisiacs are to come in the upcoming months.</span></div>

<br />
Many
medications and <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/prescriptions"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">prescriptions</span></a>
have <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/side-effects"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">side effects</span></a>
that we don’t think about. Some of these can influence <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/sexual-function/articles"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">sexual
function</span></a>. These range from anti-depressants to over the counter
medications. Because everyone’s body is different and will react differently to
side effects, sometimes people aren’t even aware their body is being affected
in a negative way until they consider the medications they are taking and note
how this may be effecting their lives.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
There
are medications noted to increase or decrease sex drive because it effects <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/hormones"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">hormones</span></a>. Dopamine
increases sex drive whereas serotonin inhibits it. Drugs that block
testosterone in men, like steroids, will cause difficulty with libido and circulation.
<a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/birth-control"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Birth control</span></a> can suppress
or increase sexual function, depending on how it plays on that woman’s natural
hormonal balance. It can be pretty frustrating, possibly even more depressing,
for people on an anti-depressant who suddenly lack a sex drive and have one
more stress factor in their lives.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
If
an anti-histamine, allergy medicine, or <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/prescriptions-that-inhibit-sexual-function" title="Click to Continue > by I Want This"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">birth control</span></a> is noted to
cause dry mouth, it may also have other dehydrating side effects. Some people
may also experience headaches. The medication can also cause a lack of natural
lubrication. Imagine if one is taking two medications which are dehydrating,
such as an allergy medicine like Claritin and birth control. If a woman
notices an increase of side effects due to the medications she is taking, there
will probably be an increased need to use lubricating products.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
What
people often don’t consider is that there are over-the-counter medications like
Benadryl and cold medications which are known to cause drowsiness. Being tired
is going to decrease the sex drive. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Websites
like Net Doctor, always suggest that if one notices side effects on sexual and
is concerned, it is a bad idea to stop taking one’s medication. It is important
to speak with a physician to see if there is an alternative medication
available with fewer or different side effects.<br />
<br />
<b>Prescription medications that cause sexual dysfunctions include the following according to<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> <i style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px;">Harvard Guide to Women’s Health</i>:</span></b><br />
Opiates (codine, morphine and methadone)--effects libido<br />
Anti-depressions--increases difficulty in achieving orgasm<br />
Chemotherapy/Cancer (anti-estrogens, cyclophsphamide)--vaginal dryness, reduced libido, reduced ability to orgasm<br />
Anti-hypertensives (beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, diuretics and anit-adrenergics)--reduces libido and ability to orgasm<br />
Barbiturates --causes many different sexual dysfunctions at high doses<br />
Anti-cholinergics (propantheline and methantheline)--reduces libido<br />
Benzodiazepines (alprazolam and diazepam)--difficulty achieving orgasms<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Switching
prescriptions isn’t always an option. For those interested in learning natural
remedies to aid sexual function, please see the post on Miracle Herbs and Aphrodisiacs later next month.</div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Yeah, all this
aphrodisiac stuff is great and all but I need something a little stronger. I
need something that’s more than just nutrition,”one who has read about aphrodisiacs might say.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
The idea behind
aphrodisiacs is that it provides the nutrients to heighten the body’s sexual
functioning. A boost of Vitamin A, B, C etc. can increase energy, stamina and

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black;">According to the Journal of the American Medical Association
in a study reported in February 1999, about 43 % of women and 31 % of men
suffer from sexual inadequacy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>In
the article mentioned above, the causes for impotence ranges from lacking the
ability to be aroused, inability to orgasm, premature ejaculation, or other
sexual problems such as erectile dysfunction. The latter term specifically
refers to not being able to <span style="color: black;">achieve or maintain an
erection hard enough for sexual intercourse 50 % of the time. Thirty million
American men suffer from erectile dysfunction. Is it really so surprising that
drugs such as Viagra, Levitra and Cialis are so popular?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="background: #FFFFE5;">According
to the Journal of the American Medical Association in a study reported in
February 1999, about 43 % of women and 31 % of men suffer from sexual
inadequacy. </span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Although erectile dysfunction is considered a medical
condition, Harvard Health reports that female sexual dysfunction is not yet
considered a medical condition. . . . Interestingly, this dysfunctions occurs
12% more in women. There are now prescription medications for women, though
studies show they do no have the same results. Why is that?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Women's reactions to medications in studies are more
difficult to measure. They are qualitative not quantitative. Results can't be
measured directly and relies on subjective feedback. A man's response to a drug
like Viagra is easy to measure. Additionally, the causes are vastly different. Most Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) doesn't occur from lack of circulation or lack of testosterone like it does in men, but from psychological, social, economical and other issues that effect a woman's sense of well being. What causes dysfunction in men do not apply to women.</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
The factors that can effect these qualitative results in studies relate to a women's well being--which is essential to
healthy sexual function. Emotional health and personal relationship
factors were considered to be the number one factors related to sexual function
in women. Certainly there are other factors, but they generally relate to well
being: dissatisfaction with a relationship with a partner; health
problems, whether physical or mental; economic or social instability, being
single; and having less education. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Dr. John Bancroft, director of the Kinsey Institute
speculated in the <i>Archives of Sexual Behavior</i> (Oct. 2002), the societal
suppression and stigma of sexuality in women may be one cause of dysfunction.
Additionally, the evolutionary advantage of not wanting to create more
offspring than one can raise, may be an evolutionary reason for inhibiting
sexual function. Women may be genetically predisposed to experience
dysfunction.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Not only are the reasons behind dysfunction different for
women, but they physically manifest in different ways from men. They may
experience Hypoactive Sexuality Disorder (lack of interest), Sexual Aversion
Disorder (phobic avoidance), Orgasmic Disorder (inability or difficulty to
orgasm), Sexual Arousal Disorder (inability to obtain or maintain sexual
excitement), Vaginismus (involuntary muscle spasms which make it difficult
or impossible to enter the vagina), and Dyspareunia (pain during
intercourse). A woman can experience pain during intercourse or not
achieve an orgasm, but can still conceive a child. Whereas a man
can't without even start without an erection. Is that a clue as to why more research has been done to aid
men with reduced sexual function?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
In order to be considered affected by sexual dysfunction,
women must experience distress over their lack of sexual function. So even
if a woman has painful intercourse, it isn't considered a clinical condition
unless she cares or reports she cares. Interestingly, we don't have this same standard for men. If
they experience a lack of erection, it is considered erectile dysfunction.
Researcher since the 1999 Journal of American Medical Associate Study have
questioned whether women were actually asked if they experienced distress. Though, even if they were, this do not address this double standard.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
If there are 12% more women reported in studies who feel distress about sexual dysfunction than men, it would be interesting to know how many additional women versus men experience experience sexual dysfunction who do not care or expressed satisfaction with their sex life despite experiencing a condition such as Vaginismus. My guess is the rate of women experiencing FSD would go up.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="color: black;">According
to the Journal of the American Medical Association in a study reported in
February 1999, about 43 % of women and 31 % of men suffer from sexual
inadequacy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>The kinds of impotence in men ranges from low libido, delayed or inability to orgasm, premature
ejaculation, physical defects or abnormalities, and other sexual problems such as erectile dysfunction. The latter
term specifically refers to not being able to <span style="color: black;">achieve
or maintain an erection hard enough for sexual intercourse 50 % of the time.
Thirty million American men suffer from erectile dysfunction. Is it really so
surprising that drugs such as Viagra, Levitra and Cialis are so popular?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;">But are these drugs really the answer</span></b><span style="color: black;"> when the side effects may </span>include headache,
flushing, runny nose, visual problems, heart attacks, and interfere with many
prescriptions--including heart medications?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
There are plenty of people who
believe so, otherwise it wouldn't be such a booming industry, some elderly men
wouldn't be lying about heart conditions in order to obtain these drugs, and these prescriptions wouldn't have become so easily accessible to purchase through the internet. There are now prescription medications for women, though studies show they do no have the same results. Although erectile dysfunction is considered a medical condition, Harvard Health reports that female sexual dysfunction is not yet considered a medical condition. . . . Interestingly, this dysfunctions occurs 10% more in women.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">So what are the alternatives?</b> The cause of the sexual dysfunction
will effect the cure. Viagra, <span style="color: black;">Levitra and Cialis
primarily aid in blood flow and circulation. Natural remedies that increase
blood flow might include: damiana, yohimbe bark, capsaicin (chili peppers and
other spicy foods), ginger and regular exercise. If the problem is libido,
Viagra and other drugs that stimulate circulation will not help. In those
cases, medications that promote dopamine and serotonin are key. Natural mood
stimulants include chocolate, small amounts of wine, fava beans and black
beans.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
How do you write a good personal ad? Below is a list of things to include in a personal ad to
catch a woman’s eye. Many have good examples taken from Portland Craigslist
personal ads that men wrote looking for women.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Start with an interesting title.</b> Think of a good hook that
describes you, your personality or interests or something women might like. If
you start you ad with something like, “I enjoyed reading Pride and Prejudice”
or title your ad “Prince Charming looking for Princess,” it will appeal to a woman's romantic side and they will keep
reading. At least a certain demographic of women will. On the other hand, if you didn’t actually enjoy reading Pride and
Prejudice, then that plan isn’t going to work. Certainly the ad titled, “Does
your unborn baby need a father?” was an odd, if not eye-catching ad.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Talk about what you want in a polite and tactful way.</b> Focus
on the positive, not on all the things you don’t want. Here are two well-worded
examples:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I am honest and drama free and would want the same in
return.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I am also physically
fit and looking for the same.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Describe your interests.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Let your personality show in your word choice and how you
phrase things.</b> It is okay to be quirky and memorable.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I'm completely ready for a life-long rapturous romance,
friendship, play and a partner to ride the river of life with. Deep and heart-felt
conversation is a must for me, because I believe it's the backbone to true
intimacy.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Use humor.</b> A hilarious ad had this list:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Employed? Yes <br />
Car? Yes <br />
House? Yes <br />
Funny? Abso-F'n-Lutly <br />
Kids? No <br />
Psyco-x's? Nope! All my stalkers are in the past! Currently taking applications
for future psycho-x's. ;) <br />
Goals? Yes <br />
Adventurous? You have no idea! I've actually considered changing my middle name
to "Adventure". <br />
Attractive? Yes. I'm not Taylor Lautner, but chances are you aren't Megan Fox.
LOL</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Be sweet.</b> If it fits your romantic personality to say all
the ways you would like to spoil the woman you love like giving her foot
massages, making chicken soup for her when she has a cold and snuggling, and other sweet gestures, that
will make her heart melt. But again, make sure these are things you actually enjoy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Be honest </b>(especially about your age). And if you are in an open relationship and seeing other people. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Include an accurate photo of yourself. </b>Here are some tactful,
non-demanding ways to ask for a photo:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I can provide a photo upon exchange with you.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“If I sound like someone you'd want to talk to, email me and
tell me about yourself. Pictures are a plus, but really just tell me about you
(age, height, that type of stuff).” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Use a spell check and grammar check.</b> It makes you appear
intelligent and well-educated. And not lazy. It shows you want to make a good
impression.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Be concise and succinct in what you say.</b> Many online ads
don’t have the limits newspapers do, but still be aware of how much you are
saying and the quality of the information. Anything more than a page might be
too long and anything under a paragraph will be too short.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Be sincere.</b> There is no point in saying you want to be a
girl’s Romeo if you hate Shakespeare and won't be able to explain why you said
that later.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For a humorous look on how to make women run, screaming away
from your personal ad, wait for next months's post.</div>

When someone is shopping, an advertisement is supposed to
represent the merchandize and show it off in its best light, making someone
want to buy it. This is the premise of good marketing: knowing your target audience and hooking them with what they want. It is the same with personal ads: you are showing yourself off to
your best advantage, and making yourself appear as attractive and intelligent as
possible. Because the reader doesn’t know you, hasn’t heard of you, and can’t
talk with you (yet), it is one way for someone to see your ad and be drawn to
you by what you say.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the other hand, it might be an opportunity for the target audience to
see how horrible someone is by what they say. (Not you, of course.) It only
takes one distasteful comment or one thoughtless remark to make people navigate
away. (And you wouldn’t believe how many post poorly written personal ads.)
But maybe you just aren’t good at writing or making yourself come across as
attractive in writing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here are a couple examples from poorly written personal ads
on the Portland Craigslist in January. Listed after each quote is the reason
why a woman might be turned off by the sentence or wording.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I have lived a life from perfect and have never cheated on
anybody before ending the relationship my word and I am proud of this.” (Odd
commentary, also poor grammar.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I am very Family orented and do not want to let my family
down.” (Poor grammar and poor spelling. Not to mention an odd thing to share.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Do you enjoy being passionately kissed while being fingered
and having your. . . .” (What kind of woman do you expect to answer this ad?)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Would you like an oral exam?” (Is sex the only thing you
care about?)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“If you are an honest Person plz have pic with you holding
something with the date on it.” (Obsessive, paranoid, psycho?)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“At the moment I'm around 3 weeks from literally living in
my car on the streets.” (Sad, pathetic and the girls are running away as fast
as possible.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: right 6.0in;">
“NO over weight people.
Thanks.” (Rude. And subjective. What does overweight really mean in our
culture? It will have most women obsessing over their self image—and hating
you—even if they are thin.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“no pic no responce.” (Demanding. Oh yeah, and can’t spell
or is too lazy to run a spell check.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: center 3.0in;">
“I like My women to be in
shape” (Misogynist who probably also wants his woman barefoot and pregnant.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I have a saggy-boob fetish.” (Whoa, not only is that weird
but if you decide I’m attractive to you, I will be afraid to go out in public
until I buy more supportive bras.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here are some things sure to turn off most women:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Demanding that a woman must send a photo.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Insisting she send a photo, but not having one posted of
yourself first.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Posting a photo of an anime character, your cat or a sunset.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Coming across as conceited by posting photographs of your
muscles.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Please, no pictures of your penis.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Saying what you don’t want instead of saying what you do
want. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being negative and talking about the past, like about an ex
and how you have been used.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Writing five sentences or less about yourself.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Writing five pages or more about yourself.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not using a spell check.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not consistently capitalizing the beginnings of sentences,
capitalizing random words, or a lack of punctuation.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being too forward and describing sexual things you want to
do to a woman that she would rather hear after she has gotten to know you—if at
all.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Saying you don’t want fat women to reply to your ad.
(Besides the fact that you are focusing on the negative and not saying what you
do want, it is insulting and not tactfully put. Ladies will be less likely to
respond to the ad even if they feel comfortable with their weight because they
don’t want someone who is a jerk who might make them feel fat.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being dishonest about your age such as by saying you are in
your forties but are forty-nine and about to turn fifty.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Behaving as if you are desperate (even if you are), wanting
someone to text you the night you post the ad.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Omitting your age.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Focusing/obsessing for sentences (or paragraphs!) on the annoyances
of spambots and emphasis on real people. One politely worded sentence will do. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

The suggestion was for a woman to take off her blouse and corset in order to make him listen to what she had to say. Despite one's doubts in this method, Lady Chatterley decided to put this to the test. Though with one addition: She wrote on her bosom in magic marker: I am breaking up with you.

</xml><![endif]-->Many single people wait until February before they start
looking for a date. And, of course, because they’re in such a desperate,
crabby, why-doesn’t-anyone-love-me mood, they are unsuccessful in getting a date
and instead binge on a bag full of chocolate. Not that Lady Chatterley has ever been one of these people.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, how are you going to avoid this predicament? Start
looking early!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Places to find love</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Forget bars! If you want to find someone intelligent, classy,
and who might share the same interests as you, try these alternative places.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Book clubs:</b> Looking for nerd love? All you have to do is an
internet search for “book clubs” in your local area. Barnes and Nobles has groups. For those in Portland, the book mecca of Powell’s Books has three
different locations in the Portland
area and their calendar is packed with authors, events and book groups. And if
you are a guy and really want to go someplace filled with women, check out the
Cheeky Pages romance book group. (Though they also have mystery, science
fiction and other genres.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
http://www.powells.com/calendar.html</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Romance Writers of America:</b> There are over 30 local
chapters. The Portland
chapter, Rose City Romance Writers has a membership of over 100 people, mostly
women. Those are pretty good odds for the guys. At least for guys who enjoy supporting romance writing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Dancing:</b> Women love men who can dance and what better place
to go than someplace that teaches dance? And for the men, there are almost
always more women at places that teach dance or host open dance so you are in
high demand. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For a complete list of dance events going on in Portland go to Portland
Dancing. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Meet Up:</b> This group is a way to connect and meet other
people with similar interests. For example, on the Meet Up website, there are
categories such as arts and entertainment, sports and recreation, heath and
support as well as many others. In Portland,
there are tarot card groups, ASL practice groups, outdoors groups and others.

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Outdoors Clubs: </b>If you enjoy the outdoors, organizations
such as the Trails Club of Oregon, or Mazamas a Portland hiking, rock climbing, skiing club
might be right for you. There also is the Willamette Sailing Club, and
Bergreunde Mountain Friends, an outdoor, sports and social club.</div>

<b>LoveTribe: </b>A different way to connect with people: There is
an organization called LoveTribe, all about bringing people together and
helping them connect in nontraditional ways to create a feeling of community
with parties like snuggle parties and game nights. Their events are edgy, not a
dating service, and certainly not right for all people, but something different
to try. LoveTribe started in Portland
and has branched out to many other cities.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Online dating:</b> Let say you don’t read books, can’t dance, don’t like
the outdoors, and have no hobbies, so none of those social clubs seem right to
you. When you have tried everything else, or you don’t have any time (or money)
to attend a social club, there is always the internet. Craigslist is free and
always has local personal ads. I know two different middle school teachers who
met their husbands through online personal ads, one with Eharmony and the other
with Match.com. And neither woman is afraid to tell people that’s how she met
her husband. Craigslist and Okcupid are free. As a result, there is also
a higher rate of unemployed people without cars and cell phones. On the plus
side, Okcupid is said to cater to a younger, nerdier crowd. Plenty of Fish and
Christian Singles are other dating sites. And there are many more out there.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
According
to the ACADV (Alabama Coalition Against Domestic Violence), one out of three
high school students have been in, or will be in, an abusive relationship. This
number seems so high it is difficult to believe. Yet the National Coalition
Against Domestic Violence reports statistics that are just as shocking: In
Oregon, one in ten women experience intimate partner violence. The highest rate
of intimate partner violence occurs in women between the ages of 21-24. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
Why?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
Possible
reasons ACADV suggests so many young women are involved in abusive
relationships might be because women see other examples of violence and abuse
in relationships and think it is normal, consider their boyfriend’s jealousy
and anger is romantic, they internalize their problems and blame themselves,
feel they have to solve their problems themselves, and are afraid to ask for
help. Overall, teenagers are inexperienced in relationships, are confused about
what romance means, and succumb to peer pressure more than an adult might. Because
youths desire independence from their parents, and are less likely to confide
in them and ask for help, many parents aren’t aware of the situations their
children may be in.</div>
