The National Enquirer's Story On Charlie Sheen's HIV Status Endangers Public Health

Earlier today, The National Enquirer reported that they'll be releasing the story of Charlie Sheen's "explosive secret" that he has been "hiding from the world". They claim that "decades of debauchery have finally caught up" to him and connect his HIV-positive status with years of womanizing.

Regardless of whether their story is true, it is not only a violation of his privacy, but a public health threat in and of itself. For starters, his "explosive secret" and so-called cover up are not part of a scandal, but a matter of personal medical privacy. And decades of "debauchery" and "womanizing" do not inevitably result in HIV transmission.

Transmission can occur in a single sexual act as well as through other activities than involve the exchange of vaginal fluids, rectal fluids, seminal fluids, blood or breast milk. It’s stories like these that further stigmatize HIV and other STIs and put the public at risk under the farcical guise of journalism and public interest. By outing...

Are All Women Lesbian or Bisexual?

Sometimes researchers break the mould and get it right — other times their claims simply don't add up. Jess examines a study which concludes that women are never heterosexual based on their pupil dilation response to sexual stimuli.

Check out the video and read through her additional notes below.

Jess has some concerns about this study’s findings:

  • Pupil response doesn’t necessarily indicate sexual arousal or attraction. It’s possible that sexualized videos of women draw more attention and alertness - not necessarily arousal in all cases. Our pupils do dilate when sexually aroused, but their dilation is really by-product of the nervous system processing information. They dilate in response to light, in response to challenging math questions, in response to images of war. Their dilation is considered part of a fight or flight response.
  • We create more space for female sexuality to be fluid, so it’s possible that...

Should We Be Having More or Less Sex?

This morning on Global TV’s The Morning Show, they ponder the question: should we be having more or less sex? Terry Crews and his wife, Rebecca King Crews attribute a boost in relationship satisfaction to a 90-day ban on sex while Natasha Bell of The Telegraph insists that having sex with her partner within the first hour of arriving home is the marriage-saver. Check out Dr. Jess’ thoughts below.

I love both Natasha’s and Terry’s approach to keeping the spark alive. Sensory and sexual deprivation helps to cultivate desire, while setting a sex deadline encourages you to start sex even in the absence of desire. So which approach should you choose? I suggest you blend the two according to your needs and personality types.
 
If you’re more of an explorer, a sex fast may be just what the doctor ordered as it offers a few unique benefits:
  • Absence builds desire
  • When your usual stimuli are absent, the brain cultivates new stimuli (i.e. you’ll...
