20 Things You Didn't Know About... Sex

1.Life emerged on earth about 3.8 billion years ago, but sex did not evolve until more than 2 billion years later. Dirty limericks emerged only quite recently, geologically speaking.

2. Sex—what is it good for? Scientists are not sure, since asexual reproduction is a better evolutionary strategy in some important ways.

3. For those who refuse to commit to one strategy: The hermaphroditic earthworm Dendrobaena rubida has both male and female genitalia. If it cannot find a partner, the worm doubles up so that its female bits and male bits can go to town.

4. Although famously monogamous, female Adélie penguins slip away from their mates occasionally to couple with unattached males. They exact a fee (pdf) for such a dalliance—stones to bolster their nests—not unlike certain people.

5. Some talented penguin teasers can get a gift even without putting out. Again, not unlike certain people.

6. Barbary macaques have a distinctive way to get their mates to make a sperm donation: yelling. If the female does not shout, the male almost never climaxes.

7. How do we know this? German primatologist Dana Pfefferle watched a group of macaques, counting the females’ yells and the males’ pelvic thrusts. She says this work is “quite weird, but it’s science.”

8. Here in the US of A, that kind of stuff ends up on YouTube.

9. Because Barry White sounds terrible underwater: Fish can produce a variety of noises with their bones,teeth, and gas bladders. Grant Gilmore of Estuarine Coastal and Ocean Science Inc. says that male fish probably use some of these sounds to woo females.

10. The spiny anteater, an egg-laying mammal native to Australia and New Guinea, has a penis with four heads, but only two fit into the female at once.

11. The tiny male paper nautilus, an octopus, impregnates the much larger female by shooting his penis (a modified tentacle) into her—and leaving it there.

12. Homosexual behavior is found in at least 1,500 species of mammal, fish, reptile, bird, and even invertebrate.

13. My two dads: When a male goose courts another male goose, a female sometimes slips in and mates with both males. Later, the male partners share paternal duties.

14. Some seagulls practice lesbian mating, although the eggs that result from their liaisons are sterile.

15. Biologists at the University of California at San Francisco have found that male fruit flies exposed to high levels of alcohol become hypersexual and try to court practically anything with wings, including other male fruit flies. Eventually the revelry turns into a dysfunctional orgy, with “a chain of males chasing each other,” says one insect expert (subscription).

16. As the flies get increasingly tanked, their chance for mating success keeps dropping. This is one more reason why the fruit fly is a great model for studying humans.

17. Only a few vertebrates besides humans copulate face to face. Among those that sometimes do this: hamsters, beavers, and some primates, such as bonobos and orangutans.

18. French kissing is rarer still. The only other species known to do it as a prelude to mating is the white-fronted parrot. After the birds open their beaks and touch tongues, the male spews his lunch onto the female’s chest.

19. It is here that the mating habits of the white-fronted parrot and Homo sapiens diverge.

20. Size really does matter: People tend to choose mates of similar race, education level—and chubbiness. A recent British study indicates that obese people usually select partners with comparable levels of body fat.

From virtual to real: sex for everyone

Types of Virtual Sex

There are many types of virtual sex that individuals can participate in. While some use common technologies, others may use more obscure methods to sexually arouse others or themselves. Here are just a few of the many types of methods for engaging in virtual sex.

Internet Chat – Many people started using AOL specifically to chat with others in hopes of meeting a friend or even a virtual sex partner. As opposed to Internet chat rooms, which offer a group of people the ability to communicate with everyone at once, private chat rooms allow two or more persons to communicate

only with each other. Individuals using these private chat rooms can send sexually explicit chat messages to flirt with and arouse others. Besides chat rooms, standard IM (instant messaging) is also used for virtual sex.

Phone Sex – Phone sex is another common way to engage in virtual sex. While many individuals have engaged in phone sex with a spouse or girl/boyfriend, others use fee-based phone sex services to flirt and engage in sexual conversation. Phone sex is perhaps the most popular method of engaging in virtual sex.

Webcam – Web cameras are more than just a way to talk with parents or friends from college. They are also one of the most popular ways to participate in virtual sex. Using a webcam, users can become aroused from visual stimuli, audio stimuli, and even communicate through text on a computer screen. Webcams are extremely affordable and use the Internet to communicate. There are even pay webcam sites that allow users to interact with others via webcam. Webcams are extremely popular and many individuals have set up a webcam in their home to stream images of their daily habits, including their sex life. Anyone can log on and view the streaming images. With the advent of YouTube, many individuals have recorded sexually explicit video with their webcam and uploaded it for anyone to view.

Viewpoint 1: Virtual Sex Is Real Sex

Those who answer yes to the question point out that people have very "real" responses to things that happen online, and that sex is no different. We can feel joy and sorrow, arousal and disgust, anxiety and calm all while we sit in front of our computer. We also have physical responses (from butterflies in our stomach to physical arousal and orgasm and from full belly laughs to uncontrollable sobbing). We build meaningful relationships and break ups -- and these experiences have repercussions in our real life, thus crossing the line from virtual to real. So if "real sex" includes a psychological, emotional, and physical response to erotic stimulation, then virtual sex would have to count.

For those who argue that real sex requires a human connection or relationship, this too is present for many people who engage in virtual sex as part of their experiences online.

Researchers and therapists who talk about "problematic online sexual behaviors" (usually referred to as things such as watching "too much" internet pornography, engaging in erotic or sexual chat without their partner's knowledge, etc…) also seem to consider virtual sex to have real sex-like implications for relationships. In this case, they might not think virtual sex is "healthy" sex, but they treat it as real, or at least as a real problem.

Viewpoint 2: Virtual Sex Is Not Real Sex

Usually people who say that virtual sex isn't real sex point to the absence of physical contact in virtual sex. It's true that while virtual sex currently engages many senses it doesn't include immediate human touch. No matter how complicated and deeply felt the sexual communications are during virtual sex, if you want to feel touch you have to touch yourself. The field of teledildonics is beginning to address this, but so far the results have been disappointing.

Some people who engage in virtual sex while in relationships say that it's not the same as real sex, which would be cheating. A similar argument has been made in a very different arena by people who look at violent or coercive pornography (whether it involves real people pretending or computer generated images). These people have suggested that virtual interactions stop them from engaging in real interactions that would be harmful to others. This is a highly contentious point with researchers on both sides arguing that virtual experiences either relieve the desire to do something in real life or fuel that desire.

You Can't Compare Virtual Sex To Offline Sex

You may have noticed that both answers to this question are based on comparing "real sex" to virtual sex. There are problems with this approach.

First, it presumes a universally agreed upon understanding of "real sex". This doesn't exist. Indeed we not only lack a full understanding of online sexual interactions and what they mean for people, we don't fully understand offline sexual interactions and their meanings (it's hard to get into the bedrooms of the nation, the doors are usually closed and locked when researchers come knocking). If we are trying to answer this question by comparing off line sex to online sex we're still missing too many pieces to make a fair comparison.

We can also wonder about the logic of using offline sexuality as the standard of "real sex." It's possible that people who grow up with easy access to virtual spaces and new technologies may have a different experience of sexuality both on and offline than those who don't. In this case we aren't comparing apples to apples, and when we try to do so we may miss much of the richness and complexity of online sexual development.

The Bottom Line

If this question is ultimately about individual experience, the bottom line is that for many people virtual sex is real sex. These interactions are meaningful and can impact aspects of their whole lives. Like all sexual interactions, they can be both healthy and unhealthy. And for others, virtual sexual interactions may be more like playing a video game, a temporary amusement that doesn't carry deeper meaning or impact other aspects of their life.

If you are trying to come up with a social or cultural answer, the results will be less clear. Technologies, and our uses of them, are so new and most public discussion, even when framed by professionals, is far from objective. Media engagement with these issues tends to be superficial and sensationalist.

So where does this leave us? Well, we need to begin by acknowledging that the way we answer this question for ourselves has as much, if not more, to do with our values and beliefs about sexuality than it has to do with technology or what any individual is actually doing online. It also means we have to talk to each other and share those values and beliefs as well as live with the uncomfortable fact that some questions will never have neat answers.

Other Forms of Virtual Sex

While most forms of virtual sex rely on visual or audio stimuli, new sexual arousal and masturbation methods have been created. For instance, devices that are connected to a computer via USB and can be controlled remotely from the Internet have been created for masturbation. These devices include USB dildos and USB pocket pussies. These devices can enhance virtual arousal between individuals through tactile sensation. These devices are the first in a possible long line of devices that will simulate the act of intercourse and other types of sex between individuals over communications equipment.

Less popular types of virtual sex include interactive video games and DVDs. In interactive games such as Video Strip Poker, the player must win games in order to remove a piece of clothing. With interactive DVDs, a porn actress can be controlled to engage in sex acts by manipulating the DVD menu or selecting scenes.

Advantages of Virtual Sex

Obviously, one of the many advantages of participating in virtual sex is that it is generally safe. There is absolutely no risk of catching a sexually transmitted disease and no transfer of bodily fluids.

For couples in a relationship who are unable to meet each other in person, virtual sex offers an interesting and exciting way to arouse one another sexually and maintain a sexual bond. It is suggested that the average virtual sex participant is engaging in virtual sex with a romantic partner (e.g. spouse or boy/girlfriend).

Virtual sex is also an easy way to engage in sexual arousal. For those with a busy schedule or those who are too shy to meet others in person, virtual sex is a great way to meet new and interesting people and arouse each other.

Virtual sex is usually very affordable and convenient. Participants do not have to go out on a date or spend a long amount of time with someone in order to engage in virtual sex.

Risks of Virtual Sex

One of the biggest problems with virtual sex is that it can be easy for adults to prey on minors. Child predators are a very real danger, especially on websites with lots of underage traffic. However, for most adults, virtual sex is safe and harmless.

Virtual sex methods such as fee-based phone chat and webcam services can be extremely expensive. It is common to spend $1 or $2 per minute to engage in phone sex or webcam sex.

Virtual sex can be detrimental to some adults by making it easier to have a virtual sex life than to create emotional bonds with people in the real world.

Couples Counseling Boosts Sex Lives After Prostate Cancer

The side effects of prostate cancer treatments, including surgery and radiation, can seriously disrupt a couple's sex life.

But a new study finds that counseling helped married men and women figure out what sorts of treatments for erectile dysfunction worked for them and how to incorporate those methods during sex. In doing so, they returned some luster to their love lives.

Researchers enrolled more than 200 men who'd been treated for prostate cancer and their wives into one of three groups: one received three face-to-face counseling

sessions; the other was offered Internet-based counseling; and the third was put on a wait list.

At a six-month follow-up (about three months after counseling), men who received either the face-to-face or web-based counseling reported an improvement in sexual function and satisfaction with sex. When the man reported his sexual function improved, his wife's reports of sexual function and satisfaction did as well.

Those in the wait-listed group experienced no improvements, suggesting that "time alone doesn't heal the issues," said study author Leslie Schover, a professor of behavioral science and a clinical psychologist at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

The study is published in the Sept. 26 online issue of Cancer.

Despite nerve-sparing surgery, prostate cancer treatment still causes significant erectile dysfunction, experts say. Other problems may include difficulty reaching orgasm; decreased intensity of orgasm; pain and leaking urine at orgasm.

Many men who have prostate cancer are older, and their erectile function may have already been compromised due to the cancer itself or other underlying vascular or nerve disease, explained Dr. Bruce Gilbert, director of reproductive and sexual medicine at North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System's Smith Institute for Urology.

"Before nerve-sparing prostatectomy [surgical removal of the prostate], 100 percent of men would have erectile dysfunction afterward," Gilbert said. "That has come down quite a bit. But you are dealing with a population of men who are generally not 30 or 40 years old. They're older and may already have an underlying problem with erectile dysfunction."

Most men have some level of erection difficulties after prostate cancer surgery, experts said.

In addition to dealing with that, "the counseling program focused on the woman's right to pleasure in sex and on fixing problems like postmenopausal vaginal dryness or loss of desire related to poor sexual communication," Schover said.

"We educated both partners about available treatments to restore erections and had them complete a 'decision aid' to figure out what treatment to try, based on mutual opinions," she said. "If that treatment did not work well for them, we encouraged them to try another choice."

After prostrate cancer, many men try pills for erectile dysfunction, experts said. But those may not be enough. Other options include penile injections, vacuum pumps and or penile implants, but Schover said she suspects many men throw in the towel when they don't get the results they want and don't pursue the other alternatives.

Men and women were given questionnaires that asked about a wide variety of measures of sexual function and sexual satisfaction, including their erectile function (for men), ability to achieve orgasm and their level of desire.

"Every subscale improved except desire, which we weren't surprised by because very few had low desire to begin with, so there wasn't that far to go on that," Schover said.

Men's ability to achieve "near-normal" erections also improved after counseling. Before counseling, about 12 percent to 15 percent of men reported few erection difficulties. That increased to between 36 percent and 44 percent for those who underwent counseling.

At one year, men who reported that they found a successful erectile dysfunction treatment had scores on the sexual function and satisfaction scale that were about the same as healthy men.

One limitation of the study is that about 34 percent of couples enrolled in the counseling dropped out for unknown reasons, said Dr. Bruce Gilbert, director of reproductive and sexual medicine at the Smith Institute for Urology at North Shore LIJ Health System.

Still, he added, "a study like this is very important and highlights that there is a lot that happens if you engage couples or the patient in some type of counseling," Gilbert said.

Couples and physicians should also never forget that while prostate cancer is frightening, so is the worry that even if it's cured, "they may not be the same after a procedure than before," Gilbert said. "That's a real fear for men."

Ideally, patients should start "penile rehabilitation" even prior to having the treatment, which has been shown to improve outcomes.

Urologists should be able to suggest methods of improving erectile function, experts noted. They suggested that if you're not getting all the help you need from your urologist, ask for a referral to a urologist that specializes in sexual medicine, or a mental health professional that treats issues related to cancer treatment, often found at large teaching hospitals in major cities.

Dr. Elizabeth Kavaler, a urologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, said "the idea of providing Internet-based counseling to couples experiencing sexual dysfunction after prostate surgery is excellent."

"This study proves that patients and their partners respond to instructive sex therapy. Since insurance coverage for psychotherapy is sparse, it is encouraging to know that web-based help is available to these couples," Kavaler said.

Bishop Eddie Long's wife decides again to seek divorce

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The reconciliation of Vanessa and Eddie Long didn't make it through the day, as the wife of the charismatic New Birth Missionary Baptist pastor has decided against withdrawing her petition for divorce filed late Thursday afternoon.

John Amis, AP Vanessa and Eddie Long, the beleaguered pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, have been married for more than two decades.

"Mrs. Long continues to hope that this matter may be resolved expeditiously, harmoniously and fairly; however, she has determined that dismissal of her divorce petition is not appropriate at this time," Kilpatrick Townsend partner Michael W. Tyler said in a prepared statement.

"To avoid any undue confusion, Mrs. Long's future statements, if any, will be issued through her attorneys," he said. A spokesman for Kilpatrick Townsend refused further comment.

Vanessa Long released three statements to the media Friday. First she announced she was seeking to end her 21-year-marriage following "a great deal of deliberation and prayer."

Then, around lunchtime, in a statement sent through New Birth's public relations firm, Vanessa Long said, upon further "prayerful reflection," she was withdrawing the divorce petition.

"I love my husband," she said in the second press release. "I believe in him and admire his strength and courage."

Long, a New Birth elder, said her decision to seek a divorce was driven by "years of attacks in the media that frustrated and overwhelmed me." She and her husband "mutually agreed to find healing," Vanessa Long said.

Six hours later, her attorneys announced she was proceeding with the divorce "consistent with her original [statement] made this morning."

In the divorce filing, Vanessa Long, 53, said her marriage to the New Birth pastor was "irretrievably broken" and there was "no hope of reconciliation." The couple has been in a "state of separation," according to the petition.

"Vanessa is, and has always been, a loving, dedicated and committed wife and mother," Bishop Long said in a statement Friday night. "My love for her is deep and unwavering. It remains our sincere desire to continue working together in seeking God’s will in these circumstances."

Vanessa Long has kept a low profile since the September 2010 lawsuit filed against her husband by former New Birth members Anthony Flagg, Spencer LeGrande, Jamal Parris and Maurice Robinson alleging the bishop used his influence, trips, gifts and jobs to coerce them into sexual relationships.

Though she has never spoken publicly about the allegations, she provided her husband with a symbolic lift when she appeared by his side at New Birth the Sunday after the lawsuit was filed. The bishop, who told his congregation that day he planned to "vigorously" fight the allegations against him, reached a settlement with his accusers in late May after months of mediation.

A bio on New Birth's website describes Vanessa Long as "the quiet strength in the Long family ... an awesome woman of God in her own right. She is an inspiration to many of the women at New Birth as they watch her lovingly and quietly support her husband in every sense of the word."

This would be Bishop Long's second divorce. His first wife, Dabara S. Houston, alleged she was the victim of "cruel treatment" and claimed she was afraid of her husband's "violent and vicious temper," according to Fulton County Superior Court records. She and her son "had to flee [the couple's Fairburn home] in order to ensure their safety," the documents say.

The couple was married in 1981 and separated after a couple years, according to the documents. Long's first wife made the abuse allegation in a counterclaim after he petitioned for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

A 'stay-sober' pill: Coming to a pharmacy near you?

A new in-development drug treatment may help prevent drunkenness and potentially stave off those embarrassing moments of public intoxication. Photo: Sonja Pacho/Corbis

Korea already sells supposedly hangover-free alcohol, but what if a pill could stop you from getting drunk in the first place? That's the premise of a new "stay sober" tablet reportedly under development in Australia. The pill, which limits the effect of alcohol on the brain, is being tested on mice — who showed no signs of becoming "tipsy," despite being administered enough alcohol to make them "fall over," reports Britain's Telegraph. Would this just take the fun out of drinking? Here's what you should know:

How does the pill work?
It relies on naloxone, an FDA-approved drug that is typically used to treat heroine overdoses. Researchers used naloxone to target the brain's glial cells, which the immune system uses to protect the brain from outside attack. Mice who were injected with the drug and then given alcohol showed no loss of motor skills. The "groundbreaking discovery" here, says Nick Greene of the Village Voice, is that our immune systems may have more to do with drunkenness than our nervous systems.

And this would work on people, too?
Possibly. The pill "may benefit alcoholics and binge drinkers," says Rheana Murray of the New York Daily News, and could even keep heavy drinkers from embarrassing themselves at their company Christmas party.

When can I get it? 
Not for awhile. There are still some kinks to work out before a "stay sober" pill study could be attempted on humans. "Even the most treacherous frat house hazing," says Dan Childs at ABC, "probably would not involve separating the lightweights from the boozehounds, injecting them with alcohol-filled syringes, and setting them loose on an obstacle course" — as this study did with mice. Regardless, says Greene, "it's a stupid invention" that makes drinking "less fun." The researchers might as well be working on "cake that tastes like arugula."

'Hugo': From A Master, A Love Letter To His Medium

He peers out from behind windows and clock faces, frames through which his sad eyes light on every detail of the train station that's his home: dogs and humans in courtship rituals, flurries of snow and ash, giant whirling contraptions and their individual parts. Hugo (the boy) is an observer of the world's wonders.
There is much to observe, for Hugo (the film) is a marvel of spectacle, a sensory feast steeped in cinematic lore that proves pure joy is attainable in three dimensions. Martin Scorsese, a director who has risen

to living-legend status primarily via gory crime sagas, here makes the endearing confession that he, too, was once a shy kid awestruck by the idea of images flickering on a screen.

The film is based on a heavily illustrated 2007 novel by Brian Selznick that has proved enormously popular with children despite primarily revolving around a 19th century French filmmaker — as sure a sign as any that movies are not dead to future generations. The orphaned protagonist (Asa Butterfield) is a determined scavenger who spends his days manning (and his nights sleeping in) the clock in a bustling 1931 Paris terminus, one of those movie settings where the inhabitants have their own mini-adventures in the margins. Hugo's efforts to fix a broken automaton lead him to the cute, ebullient Isabelle (Chloe Grace Moretz) and curmudgeonly toy-shop proprietor Georges Melies (Ben Kingsley).

Turns out that Hugo has actually stumbled across the Georges Melies, real-life magician and director of A Trip To The Moon — the one where the rocket plunges into the Man in the Moon's eye — along with over 500 other films from cinema's earliest days. Here's where the story, to its own detriment, shifts from hero's journey to hero-worship, and the question of the moment becomes, "Will Melies get the respect that's coming to him?"

Yet magic still persists: As Hugo and Isabelle dig deeper into the past, they find their own fates intertwined with that of Melies's films, and that flickering screen becomes a portal in the dark, illuminating everyone's hopes and dreams.

With his companion Isabelle (Chloe Grace Moretz), Hugo hopes to finish rebuilding an automaton his father had once dreamed of restoring.

The train station, though a wondrous plaything, renders itself claustrophobic over two hours, and we relish the few scenes that venture outside its walls. But even in these cramped confines, Hugo dangles from a clock, a la Harold Lloyd, and stares down a train that seems to leap at him straight from the minds of the Lumiere brothers (who have minor roles as well). It's pure cinephile candy.

As befitting both its fetishistically detailed source material and the era in which it's set, Hugo is Scorsese's most visually accomplished film. He and cinematographer Robert Richardson exploit the possibilities of depth in every frame, from the cavernous Fritz Langian inner workings of the station clock to the brim of Sacha Baron Cohen's inspector cap as he leans way into the camera to snarl.

Some sequences show signs of that old Melies magic, deliberately distorting reality as kids climb station rafters at impossible heights and loose papers animate themselves as they billow through the air. When 3-D works, it really works: To see Hugo in two dimensions is to take a pass on substantial splendor.

But the best trick the filmmakers pull off is the one that's hardest to see coming: By restaging some of movie history's most pioneering works in 3-D — by approximating the vastness of space in A Trip To The Moon and flinging trains at cameras 116 years after the Lumieres — Scorsese has made these crusty college-circuit prints new again.

And what's more, he's made them new to the most important audience: children.

How to Take Care Your Baby

Having a baby is one of the most exciting moment of your life. But it also can be one of the most nerve-racking! You may feel overwhelmed by the knowledge that your little baby is totally dependent on you to meet all its needs. But keep in mind that you and your baby will get through this together and challenging time in the process, you will build a special bond that will last for a lifetime. Here are some steps to get you started on the road to success as a new parent:

Any parent will agree that kids fall sick a lot more often than adults

. From common colds and fevers to classic childhood ailments like the measles and chicken pox, many parents feel that they spend a large proportion of their child’s early years either wondering if they are sick or rushing them

to a doctor’s waiting room.

However, there are times when some parents’ genuine anxiety about their child’s health can become obsessive. Experts agree that while there’s every reason to monitor your child’s health on an ongoing basis, there’s no reason to press the panic button every time he or she complains of being ill.

Make sure you have your baby's car seat installed in your car. You will need this to bring the baby home from the hospital. Hospital nursery staff can help you if you are unsure how to install base. Or you can request assistance at the local police station or fire department.

    Conducted a study to decide whether you want to breastfeed or give formula your baby in a bottle. Some parents even do a combination of both. If you decide to breastfeed and your baby is having trouble sticking to, or experiencing other problems, check with a lactation consultant at a local hospital or call your local La Leche League.

    Remember never leave your baby unattended on the couch, changing table or bed. Babies can move suddenly. That's a good idea to always keep your baby's hand or a rope on him at the table turned right from the start.

    If your baby is circumcised, check with your doctor about the best way to treat the wound until it heals.
    Also follow your doctor's advice for treatment of the umbilical cord. Some recommend cleaning every day with alcohol, while others now prefer to let it dry itself. Either way, expect the stump falls within the first few weeks or more.

    Always put your baby to sleep on his back or in a crib or bassinet with a firm mattress covered by a sheet tight. You can use a baby sleep positioners to ensure that the baby remains in place. Be sure to remove all pillows, blankets and stuffed toys, because it can cover your baby. Sleeping blanket or sleeping bag is the safest option to use if you need to keep your baby warm.

    Have a rectal thermometer ready in case of sick babies. If your baby registers a rectal temperature above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius, you should contact your pediatrician immediately.
    Prepare to do lots of laundry. Babies can easily go through three or four garments in one day. You can buy special detergent for baby's delicate skin of your baby. You may also need the power of Super stain remover for baby spit up and leak-out diaper stains.

    Try to establish routines early as possible. This will help your baby to know what to expect each day and will help build a sense of security.

    In the process of caring for your baby, do not forget to take care of yourself, too. Sleep whenever you can, and do not be afraid to ask for help from family and friends when you need it. Many women suffer from baby blues for a few days after birth, but if you experience prolonged sadness or feel unable to cope, seek professional help as soon as possible.

All in the family

Dr RK Anand, medical director and head of the paediatric department at Mumbai’s Jaslok Hospital, says parents are more confused these days because very few of them, unlike earlier, have a reliable family physician who would minister to all members of a family.

“Ideally, we should encourage people to choose a good general practitioner (GP),” he explains. “You should only go to a specialist when your family doctor recommends you do so.”

That’s because it’s important to keep a patient’s case history. “This will clearly show you that the child has gained height and weight,” says Dr Anand. He adds, “These days, there are parents who actually shop for doctors – they keep on trying new ones. What you need to do is to find a medical practitioner that you trust and stick with her or him.”

After all, it's something of a torturous situation to be in. You get to be close to the woman you love but not in a romantic sense. It's beneficial though and can be instrumental towards getting her back. If you can establish yourself as a trustworthy, non-threatening friend to your ex, she'll slowly begin to rely on and confide in you. From there it's only one step towards getting back together again.

Ensure that your ex girlfriend knows that you are making positive changes in your life after the break up. Once a relationship has run its course it's easy for the woman to find many faults with her ex. Those faults are what lead up to the break up and can stand in the way of the couple getting back together. If you want your ex girlfriend to get back together with you become a better version of the man she fell in love with. Focus on making your life the best it can be. You can do this by getting in better shape, earning your degree or volunteering. Show her what a catch you are and she'll start to find you irresistible all over again.

The things you do after your breakup will either set the stage for a reunion with your girlfriend or will ensure she's gone for good. Saying or doing the wrong thing can impact your future with the woman you love. If you still need and want her don't leave your future with her to chance, there are ways to win her back.
There are guaranteed ways to get her back regardless of why you two split. If you're tired of feeling heartbroken and if you're worried about her meeting a new guy, now is the time to get her back for good.
