KissEvolution Anthropologists believe that kissing evolved from sniffing. Our ancestors would sniff to express sexual attraction. While smelling good is an important part of attraction today, we've grown up considerably since those early days of body snorting. Neck nibbles, French kisses, finger kisses, quickie kisses, tongue sucking, there's an endless variety of ways to snog. Is it okay to kiss on the first date? Yes, but only if it's what you want to do. What if I have bad breath? Just chew some gum, but make sure to keep it in your own mouth. What should I do about my braces? Be gentle and make sure you're kissing someone who's gentle too If I kiss somebody, does it mean I'm dating them? Kissing somebody does not mean you've signed on to a full-time relationship. While it's not the best idea to kiss everyone you meet, it does happen. But if you've kissed someone and then decide you don't like them, you should let them know as soon as possible. Remember to put yourself in their shoes and make sure you tell it too them nicely. How should I kiss? Everyone you kiss will want to be kissed in a different way. And each person will kiss you differently. Kissing is just one of those things you have to try. One tip to keep in mind if you're kissing someone for the first time is not to shove your tongue down the other person's throat. Start out slow and be gentle.
Love biteCan't keep your hands off each other? If you can't shake your primal urges, you've most likely been bitten by the love bug. The three phases of love Not all love is equal. According to anthropologist Helen Fisher, falling in love has three phases. Phase one: Lust The sex hormones, testosterone and oestrogen, make us positively lustful. Testosterone plays a big role in the sex drive of both men and women. In this stage, we're really on the look out for sexual gratification. Phase two: Attraction If you spend all of your waking hours thinking of nothing other than your new love and if you've lost your appetite and can't sleep, you're most likely in the attraction phase. You can blame your strange behaviour on the neuro transmitters, dopamine and norepinephrine, aka adrenalin. They give you the jitters and make your heart race. Phase three: Attachment When you're ready to make a commitment, you're probably in the attachment stage. Attachment is thought to be partly related to the hormone oxytocin. Released by both men and women when they have an orgasm, oxytocin is supposed to help you commit.

kissAre you waiting to utter those famous three little words? If you think you've found your soulmate, you sort of assume you'll know when the moment is right, but will you? Finding the perfect moment to say 'I love you' is a difficult task. Tip one: don't text You may be completely paranoid that your sweet words will be met by an ice-cold response, but resist the impulse to declare your devotion over the text waves. Tip two: find the perfect place For lots of people, saying 'I love you' represents the ultimate commitment within a relationship. Best then, to say it at a moment that you can look back on and sigh (in other words, not while you're in line waiting for fries at McDonald's). Tip three: wait until you're really, really sure Also, if you're really worried you're going to get laughed at, hold back on proclaiming your devotion until you're sure your one and only feels the same. Not sure you're really in love? You could try asking yourself a few hard questions. One word of caution: this isn't a hard and fast test, just meant to get you thinking!
SlapHands off buddy Sexual harassment is any kind of inappropriate sexual behaviour (from actual touching to language) that makes you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Examples of harassment include unwanted pinching or touching, obscene or sexually suggestive remarks / displays, sexist behaviour, unwanted requests for sexual behaviour, and threatened, attempted, or complete sexual assault. Bad attitude Harassment at school is a difficult issue, because in many situations a 'boys will be boys' attitude is adopted and the school may not have any really well-enforced ways of holding the harasser accountable. Many female teens (and adults for that matter) don't have the confidence to stand up for themselves when being harassed. Not just for boys Harassment isn't just restricted to guys either. Every day, male and female teens use sexually charged conduct as a weapon against each other. In some cases it's unintentional, like if a guy or girl comes on a bit heavy. Even so, it's important to make it clear when attention isn't wanted or warranted. The best thing to do is to politely but firmly ask the person to stop. Get help If the behaviour doesn't stop, or if the harasser is intimidating others as well, you need to get some help. Talk to a teacher or counsellor that you trust. But what if it's just flirting? There's a fine line sometimes between flirting and harassment, but, in general, harassment is an one-sided activity that makes you feel bad, while flirting is a two-way activity that makes you feel good about yourself.
The PillWhat is the pill? The combined pill (referred to as 'the pill') is the most popular type of birth control in the UK. The pill contains two hormones - oestrogen and progestogen - which are similar to the natural hormones women produce in their ovaries. Use There are many different brands of pills, each of which has different combinations of oestrogen and progestogen. You either take one pill a day for 21 days (21 day or phasic pills) or one pill a day for 28 days (28 day pills). Each type of pill has its advantages and disadvantages, so it is worth becoming familiar with each type and with the different brands available. How effective is it? How effective any contraceptive is depends on how old you are, how often you have sex, and whether you follow the instructions. The pill is 97 to 99.9 percent effective as birth control. It does not protect against STIs, so condoms should also be used for full protection against STIs, such as HIV/AIDS. Advantages
FeelingsRelationships Stroking, nuzzling, caressing, licking, nudging, rubbing, massaging. Anyway you do it, touch is one of the best ways to show somebody affection. It shows your partner how important he or she is, and it's a really good excuse to be able to explore somebody else's body. Why it feels good When we're touched or we touch someone else, our bodies produce a hormone called oxytocin. In turn, oxytocin promotes a desire to touch and be touched, because we feel good when oxytocin is released. In fact, even thinking of someone we love can stimulate this hormone. Increases sex drive Oxytocin increases testosterone production (responsible for sex drive in both men and women). More testosterone generally results in an increased sex drive. Oxytocin makes the penis and nipples more sensitive, improves erections and makes orgasms more intense. What's more, sexual activity increases the production of oxytocin. |
