Disease (disease), sexually transmitted infections (hereinafter in this article – STI) – a broader term than the term “venereal disease”. STDs include sexually transmitted diseases.

STDs are divided into classic (this is the sexually transmitted diseases) and “new” STDs.

Classic STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) include syphilis, gonorrhea, chancroid, and venereal lymphogranulomatosis donovanosis. The latter three diseases occur mainly in tropical countries. Classic STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) are known for a long time.

“New” STDs include chlamydia, mycoplasmosis, ureaplasmosis, bacterial urethritis, trichomoniasis, candidiasis, Bacterial vaginosis, genital herpes, human papilloma virus (genital warts) and HIV infection.

By the “new” sexually transmitted diseases also include intestinal diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, as well as skin diseases, sexually transmitted infections (scabies, pubic lice, molluscum contagiosum). The “new” STDs exist, but many of these pathogens were discovered relatively recently.

Warning
In the remainder of the site, the term STI is not used for the purpose of simplification. Instead, it uses a more intuitive term “venereal disease”.

How prevalent sexually transmitted diseases?

STDs in the world are the most common infections. Their incidence is high in most countries.

Which countries have the lowest incidence of sexually transmitted diseases, and in which – the most high?

Speaking of classic STDs, the lowest incidence of notes in developed countries (Western Europe and the USA). At the same time in the U.S. incidence of gonorrhea, syphilis and chancroid higher than in other developed countries. If we talk about the less-developed countries (Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, CIS countries), the situation with the classic STDs in many of them can be regarded as an epidemic.

Regarding the “new” STDs (chlamydia, and viral infection), then there is the difference between developed and less developed countries is much less. These diseases are widespread throughout the world.

There Does Russia chancroid, and venereal lymphogranulomatosis donovanosis?

Rarely. These diseases are prevalent in tropical and subtropical climates. Few cases occurring in Russia are imported.

More dangerous STD?

In most cases, the greatest danger is not the STDs and their complications. For example, chlamydia, mycoplasmosis and ureaplasmosis in men can lead to prostatitis, and for women – to inflammatory diseases of the uterus and appendages. Since human papilloma virus is associated with a cancer of the cervix, vagina, vulva and penis, and with hepatitis B – the emergence of liver cancer. In utero infection with herpes simplex virus can cause severe pathology of the fetus. Learn more about these and other complications, see Complications.

In some groups are particularly high risk of contracting STDs?

By the traditional risk of STDs include prostitutes, as well as young people who often change sexual partners who are unwilling or unable to follow-up and treatment. However, a more correct to assume the risk group of classic sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). With the risk of chlamydial infection is much broader and includes the majority of young people with sexual life. By risk genital herpes and human papilloma virus infection can be attributed most of the people living sexuality.

If a person found one STD, whether it makes sense to him tested for other STDs?

Of course, yes. None of STDs can not be viewed in isolation from others. First, frequent mixed infection. Secondly, the contamination of one infection shows risky sexual behavior, and allows that person to suspect he had other STDs.

Condoms should be stored in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. Pants pocket – not the best place for their long-term (weeks and months) of storage. The temperature in the pocket above the temperature necessary for prolonged storage of condoms. In addition, the prolonged presence in his pants pocket because of the constant friction of possible tampering with the packaging.

When buying condoms, pay attention to shelf life. Using expired condoms – one of the most rasprostranennnyh cause explosions. Buy better condoms at the pharmacy, but not in a stall. The pharmacy less likely to buy expired condoms. In addition, ask the pharmacist to comply with the temperature regime of their storage. At the kiosk you can sell condoms lying in the window in the open sunlight in winter in a stall condoms can be at a negative temperature.

A very important point – the use of additional lubrication with condom use.

It is sold in a pharmacy or a sex shop. In its lack of special lubricants may replace egg protein.

It is worth mentioning that the lipstick, as well as the grease on the basis of fats, can damage a latex condom.

Initiator of the study, Ph.D. Page Pedzhett argues that the reason for such risky behavior on the part of women was the fact that before your first date, they manage to find enough information about the partner during telephone conversations and email correspondence, including ICQ that increases their interest.

Naturally the possibility of intimacy is directly related to the external appeal of men. If a woman man handsome, and in line with its expectations, it would be reluctant to have sex on the first day of real acquaintance.

Studies also showed that 35% of women who have sex on a first date, 80% did not use any means of contraception, while 76% did not even try to discuss AIDS and other diseases transmitted through sexual intercourse.

The poll was conducted among 750-ty of women, 560 of whom met with their online friends in real life. Women who dare to have sex, deliberately placed their questionnaires in the various dating sites, where indicated in their questionnaires that they were not opposed to make love on their first date, subject to mutual sympathy.

As it turned out, one love is not enough. Australian scientists for six years carried out a study involving three thousand married couples. As it turned out, in the first place in family relationships is a money issue. If a man or a woman does not suit the material well-being, then the marriage is almost doomed to failure.

Also at risk of marriage, if the woman more time to children than a spouse. Beautiful floor oblivious to the fact that men in the shower – the children themselves, and they should be given exactly the same love and care, much beloved flock.

Many couples said that an important factor in the breakup of relationships are the bad habits of spouses. For example, if the husband smokes, but his wife does not, then there is a greater likelihood that sooner or later, the woman does not want to stay with her husband-smoker. The same can be said about alcohol. If one spouse has drinks in the other – no, the divorce becomes more likely.

According to statistics, twice as likely to break down those families where the man over a woman for nine years or more. Those marriages where the man married under the age of 25 years, is also doomed to divorce.

Canadian psychologists have decided to conduct a study to understand what does is fantastic sex. In the study, experts found the eight main components of unforgettable sex. Not much in, is not it?

Surprising fact that orgasm was not included in the list. Apparently, people attach too much importance to this word, oblivious to the fact that sex can be perfect without it. In an exciting experiment, attended by more than 5 thousand people between the ages of 23’s to 65 years.

He reads out the full list:

1. Total concentration on sex.

2. Psychological intimacy between partners.

3. Respect, care and admiration.

4. The ability to feel the desire to partner without words.

5. Looseness and sincerity.

6. Loss of sense of time and inner tranquility.

So, concentrate, relax and fully understand. True love – genuine emotions of two people whose bodies skillfully tell about their feelings.

Perhaps your partner is just tired, he had problems at work or a long time not resting, and constant stress being felt.

Fatigue and overwork If your partner has recently worked a lot, often sit up late, it is quite logical that general fatigue and stress were the result of a temporary loss of interest in sex. Give your favorite time to rest, recover. And soon all will be required as before.

Financial problemyVsem known when the purse is empty, then the mood, too, at zero. And, as it does not seem surprising, but financial problems affect sexual attitudes.

The reasons may in fact be set, do not rush to condemn the wife bitter word “apostate”, and sit down and discuss this problem together.

Police City of Tampa, Florida arrested a young man who repeatedly called on the telephone 911 in search of sexual gratification.

As it turned out, missed the Women’s Society 29-year-old Joshua Basso (pictured) was looking for phone sex 911, simply because he ran out of money on a mobile phone, and it was the only number he could dial for free.

It Basso tried to flirt with girls, the operators gave them sexual innuendo and even suggested itself to their home for a visit.

Within 15 minutes after the operator hung up the phone for the fifth time in succession, the police arrested the failed Romeo and filed charges of falsification of calls to emergency services.

Already in the police station Basso confessed to officers that did not think so innocent calls to 911 will lead him to trouble.

FPA has interviewed more than 500 men and found that one-third of respondents were cases of breakage or slippage of condoms during sex. What is interesting – two-thirds could not explain the reasons for the failure to use condoms, and a quarter are not even aware that condoms come in different sizes. And about half of the confessed that they talk about the amount of the contraceptive they are simply confused.

According to the expert FPA Tony Benfilda, the main factor influencing it, slip a condom or not, is how he sits on the penis of each individual man. People experiencing problems with condoms, often lose confidence in them as contraceptives, potentially increasing the risk of unwanted pregnancy and STDs: “Both men come in different shapes and sizes, as well as condoms. Improper use leads to undesirable consequences associated with sexual health. Recent research by Britain show that we now have the highest percentage than ever before, new cases of chlamydia and unwanted pregnancies. ”

The representative of the Ministry of Health confirmed: “When used correctly, condoms provide the best protection from most STDs. So just need to advise men to use condoms and to select suitable for them contraceptives.

Here, the authors answer the question posed in the title of the book:

Leyner: People often do not present themselves as men of the forces required to produce ejaculation. In the production of sperm involved a lot of important organs. As if the five chefs in the male perineum without stopping preparing all these substances, in her inbox.

Goldberg: Hormones, the distinguished after orgasm – prolactin and oxytocin, initiate sleep. However, you should remember as a prayer – men orgasm more frequently than women, so you got an answer to the question of why men fall asleep after sex. If women had an orgasm as often as men, they always slept.

Here’s another unusual question: Who snores more – men or women, and why?

Leyner: Men snore more often and mostly because of their anatomy. Respiratory Tract men are not as widespread as female, and when men gain weight, fat accumulate around the neck, which narrows the airways. While women often gain weight on the hips.

And finally a question: who listens more, men or women, and why?

Leyner: There are some physiological reasons behind this cultural stereotype.

Goldberg: It’s not about who listens less – the fact is that we listen differently. Several studies using magnetic resonance imaging, showed that during the hearing process in the male brain is active only one of the halves, while the female brain is activated completely. And when a man hears a female voice, he hears them in different areas of the brain, while women can hear women’s voices in one part of the brain responsible for perception of music, so we can say that women’s voices more complex … and more difficult for us men to perception.
