Get the right vitamins and minerals to keep you energised all day long.

YOU can’t hear, see, touch or smell it, but when you don’t have it, your body feels it immediately. You’re tired, listless and weak. If you’re still guessing what it is, the answer is energy.

Nobel laureate Albert V. Szent-Gyorgyi once described energy as the “currency” of life. He couldn’t be more right.

From eating, walking, exercising, working and to everything you do, you need energy. Even at a cellular level, energy is needed to fight off infections and break down toxins in the body. Your body also needs energy to produce hormones, enzymes and other molecules that are essential for survival.

Menurut akhbar China Daily, jumlah sebenar pengguguran dipercayai lebih tinggi berbanding 13 juta prosedur yang dilakukan di hospital-hospital kerana banyak lagi yang berbuat demikian di klinik luar bandar yang tidak berdaftar.

Sex Drive: How Do Men and Women Compare?

Experts say men score higher in libido, while women’s sex drive is more “fluid.”

Birds do it, bees do it, and men do it any old time. But women will only do it if the candles are scented just right — and their partner has done the dishes first. A stereotype, sure, but is it true? Do men really have stronger sex drives than women?

Well, yes, they do. Study after study illustrates that men’s sex drives are not only stronger than women’s, but much more straightforward. The sources of women’s libidos, by contrast, are much more difficult to pin down.

It’s common wisdom that women place more value on emotional connection as a spark of sexual desire. But women also appear to be heavily influenced by social and cultural factors as well.

“Sexual desire in women is extremely sensitive to environment and context,” says Edward O. Laumann, PhD, a professor of sociology at the University of Chicago and lead author of a major survey of sexual practices, The Social Organization of Sexuality: Sexual Practices in the United States.

Here are seven patterns of men’s and women’s sex drives that researchers have found. Bear in mind that individuals may vary from these norms.
1. Men think more about sex.

The majority of adult men under 60 think about sex at least once a day, reports Laumann. Only about one-quarter of women report this level of frequency. As men and women age, each fantasize less, but men still fantasize about twice as often.

In a comprehensive survey of studies comparing male and female sex drives, Roy Baumeister, a social psychologist at Florida State University, found that men reported more spontaneous sexual arousal and had more frequent and varied fantasies.
2. Men seek sex more avidly.

“Men want sex more often than women at the start of a relationship, in the middle of it, and after many years of it,” Baumeister concludes after reviewing several surveys of men and women. This isn’t just true of heterosexuals, he reports: gay men also have higher frequency of sex than lesbians at all stages of the relationship. Men also say they want more sex partners in their lifetime, and are more interested in casual sex.

Men are more likely to seek sex even when it is frowned upon or even outlawed:

* About two-thirds say they masturbate, even though about half also say they feel guilty about it, Laumann says. By contrast, about 40% of women say they masturbate, and the frequency of masturbation is smaller among women.
* Prostitution is still mostly a phenomenon of men seeking sex with women, rather than the other way around.
* Nuns do a better job of fulfilling their vows of chastity than priests. Baumeister cites a survey of several hundred clergy by Sheila Murphy in which 62% of priests admitted to sexual activity, compared to 49% of nuns. The men reported more partners on average than the women.

3. Women’s sexual inclinations are more complicated than men’s.

What turns women on? Not even women always seem to know. Northwestern University researcher Meredith Chivers and colleagues showed erotic films to gay and straight men and women. They asked them about their level of sexual arousal, and also measured their actual level of arousal through devices attached to their genitals.

For men, the results were predictable: Straight men said they were more turned on by depictions of male-female sex and female-female sex, and the measuring devices backed up their claims. Gay men said they were turned on by male-male sex, and again the devices backed them up. For women, the results were more surprising. Straight women, for example, saidthey were more turned on by male-female sex. But genitally they showed about the same reaction to male-female, male-male, and female-female sex.

“Men are very rigid and specific about who they become aroused by, who they want to have sex with, who they fall in love with,” says J. Michael Bailey, a Northwestern University sex researcher and co-author with Chivers on the study.

By contrast, women may be more open to same-sex relationships thanks to their less-directed sex drives, Bailey says. “Women probably have the capacity to become sexually interested in and fall in love with their own sex more than men do,” Bailey says. “They won’t necessarily do it, but they have the capacity.”

Why Women Lose Interest in Sex — and 10 Tips to Rekindle Desire

As you are reading this article, no less than one in three women you know are experiencing a loss of interest in sex.

“Loss of libido in women, or low sexual desire, is the most common sexual problem for women and the main reason they seek sex therapy,” says Patricia Koch, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biobehavioral Health & Women’s Studies at Pennsylvania State University and Adjunct Professor of Human Sexuality at Widener University. “It affects anywhere from 33% to 67% of women, depending on how sexual desire is defined and reported,” according to Koch, whose research specializes in loss of libido in women.

It can happen to men, too – but because it only affects about half as many men as women, it is not men’s top sex problem. (See Loss of Libido in Men for more on that.) So what exactly does loss of libido mean for women and why does it happen? WebMD consulted the top experts in the field of sexuality for answers on not only the causes, but the treatments as well.
What Does Loss of Libido Mean?

“Sexual desire is one of the most difficult to define because it is more psychological than physiological,” says Koch, who is also President of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality.

Edward Laumann, lead author of The Social Organization of Sexuality, a compendium of survey data on sexual practices in the United States, offers a simple definition: “It is a lack of interest in sex for several months of the past year.”

In short, women know it when they don’t feel it.
Is Loss of Libido in Women Normal?

“Don’t call loss of libido a disorder,” Laumann says. “How can it be a dysfunction if one-third of women, no matter what their age, report that they lose interest?

“This is normal,” he says, and a growing number of researchers concur.

“Low sexual desire is not a disease, it is the understandable result of an imbalance in your life…in your relationship, your life circumstances or your body,” writes Kathryn Hall, Ph.D. in Reclaiming Your Sexual Self: How You Can Bring Desire Back into Your Life.

Just because loss of libido in women is normal and common, however, doesn’t mean you can’t fix it. Many women feel as if they are letting their partners down. They also feel alienated and left out in today’s powerfully sexually-charged world where everyone, from the models in lingerie ads to the doctors on TV, seem to think of little else besides sex. It’s as if “you’re the only one who doesn’t get the joke,” writes Hall.

Even worse, losing interest in sex can mean you miss out on a lot more than simply one of life’s few non-fattening pleasures. It can begin to drain the passion out of the rest of your life, as well.

Women file for divorce over hubbies’ unusual sex drive

TWO women have filed for divorce on grounds that their husbands’ unusual sex drive is linked to black magic, reports Metro Ahad.

Syarie Lawyers Association deputy president Musa Awang said in the first case, the couple had been married for a year.

“The riddle to the husband’s unnatural sex drive was answered when a relative of the wife saw the husband in the house when the family had seen him leave for work earlier.

“The relative heard the husband’s voice in the bedroom and upon checking, found an ‘individual’ in the room looking exactly like the husband,” he said.

Musa said that the wife had since filed a complaint with the religious department and applied for fasakh.

Is Sex Bad? or Just About the Most Enjoyable Exercise in the Universe?

There have been a lot of discussions about it, and also a remarkable lack of discussion in some quarters about a fascinating subject: Is sex bad? Or good?

I move in all sorts of circles, it seems. Ranging from artists, who have no problem at all discussing the subject, to people who go to very strict churches and pretend that it doesn’t exist at all.And just about anybody in between.

Does Sex Feel Good for Women

For some women it does and for some it doesn’t. Some find intercourse painful, frustrating, or boring. If you feel this way, you’re not alone. When a young woman first starts having intercourse, it’s not always what she expects.
Why does sex not feel good?

When a couple is kissing and touching, if the woman is excited, her vagina gets wet and slippery. The woman’s vagina has to be wet for the man’s penis to slide in easily. Otherwise, intercourse could be uncomfortable for both of them. When a woman feels nervous, guilty or afraid, her vagina might not lubricate or her vagina might tighten up. This can make intercourse difficult or even impossible.

A kiss is just a kiss, but intimate sex should remain so

A trend to treat oral sex as casually as kissing means teens are losing a sense of intimacy, writes Bettina Arndt.

Thirty years ago men dreamt of oral sex. Men would talk of this sexual activity as an almost unimaginable treat, high on the list of sexual desires they had little hope of ever fulfilling.

Now it is commonplace, with more than 80 per cent of Australian men and women having had the experience, according to the latest sex survey – Australian Study of Health and Relationships – published in April by La Trobe University.

Today oral sex is on the menu, not as some exotic dessert to be enjoyed long after the meat and potatoes but for a growing number of teenagers, a mere hors d’oeuvre.

Flirting

Have you giggled at a joke or held his gaze for a few seconds longer than you usually would? If so, you were flirting.

Flirting is defined as the process of making playful romantic or sexual overtures. It’s how we initially express a sexual or romantic interest in another person. Generally, if you are attracted to a person, you’ll flirt as a way of discovering if they are attracted to you as well. These flirtatious actions include your conversation, body language, and/or physical contact.
