Sex and Science – Why We Need Sex
We all go through that phase in life where we ask ourselves if we’re ready to have sex. Some people prefer to wait until they get married to have sex while other becomes sexually active even if they don’t have commented relationships, as long as they use some sort of protection like premium condoms. Bottom line is, sex is something that we will have to face. Many people are afraid of sex, mainly because they don’t understand it. They become uncomfortable when the topic is brought up and they tend to just steer away from it.
If you want to stop being scared of sex, the best thing to do is to open up to it. To make it easier to cope with the topic, most people place sex as a subject for science and nature.
Sex is survival
First, you need to understand that sex is natural. It’s one of our basic needs and our brain is wired to want sex because of our survival instincts. Sex is used to help us create offspring and continue our lineage. If you don’t have sex, how can you have kids? Our basic instincts will always drive us to find a partner, have sex and make children.
Psychological needs
Not only is it a physical need, it’s also psychological. As humans, we are naturally social and can’t live alone. We need to find a partner and sex will be a big part of that relationship. It helps us bond without partner and create an emotional lock with them. It can also help improve our self-esteem, minimize depression and keep us generally happy and in a good mood.
Hormonal thing
Our biological chemistry also depends on sex. It can help balance out our hormones which can affect both our physical and psychological well-being. Hormones excreted during sex can stay in our system of hours, sometimes even days, and keep the natural flow of things.
Health reasons
We all have read heath articles about the benefits of sex, for example boosting up our immune system, minimizing the chances of certain types of cancers, and even improving heath health. Most of these are actually true, giving you more reasons to enjoy sex.
Safety is a primary concern when it comes to sex, so use premium condoms and other contraceptives. Be responsible for yourself and your partner’s health and prevent infections and unplanned pregnancies.

Natural Cures for Common STDS
Although there are countless prescription and even over the
counter drugs that you can use to cure sexually transmitted illnesses and
infections, some people prefer to use natural medication. People have been
using plants as medicine for thousands of years, in fact without these plants,
modern pharmaceuticals would not exist. Below are a few common STDs and natural
remedies for them.
HPV
Human papillomavirus or HPV is one of the most usual
sexually transmitted infections. Because of this, our immune system usually has
no problem protecting us and countering it. being diagnosed with this infection
shouldn’t be a cause of panic, so don’t agree to harsh testing like treatments
injected to the cervix or even biopsy, 70% of untreated cases actually clear
out the infection within a few months. You can use the extract from St. John’s
or St. Joan’s wort which contains Hypericum perforatum, a few times a day to
clear out the infection.
Chlamydia
Another common infection, this is caused by a bacterium that
stays in the cervix. Untreated, this can permanently damage the sex organs,
cause infertility and pelvic pain. Most doctors would use antibiotics to cure
this infection. Natural remedies would be extracts from yarrow, usnea, pau
d’arco and Echinacea, taken 3 to 6 times per day together with an antibiotic.
This helps remove deeper infections without any relapse, scarring and will not
affect fertility.
Genital Herpes
About 1 in every 5 college students are diagnosed with
genital herpes. The bad thing about this infection is that it can stay doormat
and it’s resilient to drugs, meaning once you get infected, it says there
forever. Infections like these are one of the main reasons why people should
have safe sex, since infections could affect them for the rest of
their lives. Thankfully, there are natural remedies that help tone down the
symptoms. Lemon and hyssop balms can help soothe any active sores. You can use
oil form St. John’s or St. Joan’s wort to cure spots that develop on the skin. Black
currants can also keep the virus dormant and minimize the chances of outbreaks.
People need to be
aware and well knowledgeable about the consequences of being sexually active.
The best treatment for STD is
still prevention and safe sex. Multi-vitamins can also
help keep out immune system from becoming weak and stop infections from
spreading out. Many natural multi-vitamins are available in health shops and
even drugstores.

Stop Arresting New Yorkers for Carrying Condoms
Believe it or not, carrying a condom in New York could lead to your arrest. Why? Because it is legal for law enforcement to cite condom possession as evidence that a person engaged in prostitution. Targeting condoms, however, is ineffective at deterring prostitution and threatens public health. The practice also contributes to police discrimination against New York's LGBT community. Thankfully, the city's five District Attorneys can end the policy without having to wait for Albany lawmakers to fix the problem. So it's time to act.
Law enforcement is inadvertently discouraging sex workers from using protection without actually deterring them from engaging in prostitution. Multiple studies have found that sex workers are opting not to carry condoms for fear of being arrested. In addition to the thousands of formal prostitution prosecutions in New York City every year, the NYPD routinely seizes condoms from suspected sex workers without actually making arrests. These efforts at deterrence are not working: in one recent study, 20 percent of local sex workers who reported having their condoms seized said they had unprotected sex mere hours after their run-ins with the police. Every one of those cases represents a potential new infection of a sexually transmitted disease.
