As you all know, we've been working on our GLIDES projects the past couple of days. My group and I chose to do it about "the changing faces of sexuality"
After doing all the research, I've been learning a lot about how sex became a new "trend", and the causes of it.
For example, the music. Different groups like AC/DC and Sex Pistols came out with songs about sex. For example, ACDC's "You shook me all night long":
She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there
'Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you
Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me all night long
Does anyone else know another song that might've had influence in the changing faces of sexuality?

Parents..Can't live with them, can't live without them.
If anyone read my post on Stoklosa's class blog, you can understand how I feel about my parents.
Lately they've been driving me crazy!..not only that, and to make it worse, I decided to have "The talk" with my mom during all these chaos, and now she's just worse!
I feel better though, after talking to her I feel that if I could talk to her about sex, I can talk to her about anything. Unfortunately, I chose the wrong moment to do it, and now she's just being a pain in the @$$.
So everyone, I recommend having the talk...just choose a good moment!!

Survey
Hey everyone..
So I created a poll asking who knew what an emergency contraception is..Only one person voted, and the answer was.."I've never heard about it"
It is very important to know what it is, therefore im going to give everyone a little heads up.
Emergency contraception is birth control that prevents pregnancy after sex, which is why it is sometimes called "the morning after pill," "the day after pill," or "morning after contraception." You can use emergency contraception right away - or up to five days after sex - if you think your birth control failed, you didn't use contraception, or you were forced to have sex.
(http://ec.princeton.edu/emergency-contraception.html)
Emergency contraception makes it much less likely you will get pregnant. But emergency contraceptives are not as effective as birth control that's used before or during sex, like the pill or condoms. So if you are sexually active or planning to be, don't use emergency contraception as your only protection against pregnancy. Also, emergency contraception does not protect against sexually transmitted infections, like HIV (only condoms do).
The first type of emergency contraceptive pill contains a hormone called progestin (learn more about these emergency contraceptive pills). This is the only type of pill available specifically for emergency contraception in the United States (the brand name is Plan B). In other countries, you can find several progestin-only emergency contraceptives and daily birth control pills. Plan B and other progestin-only pills are the most effective emergency contraceptive pills, reducing your risk of getting pregnant by 89% (What does that mean?). You are also less likely to have side effects if you use these pills for emergency contraception.
The second type of emergency contraceptive pill uses both progestin and a hormone called estrogen (learn more about these "combined" emergency contraceptive pills). Many brands of the daily pill can be used for emergency contraception in the United States (find out which ones here). (A specific combined morning after pill is no longer available in the United States because the company that made the one approved here called Preven has stopped selling it). In many other countries, you can find both combined emergency contraceptive pills and daily pills. These pills cut your chances of getting pregnant by 75% (What does that mean?), and you are more likely to experience side effects like nausea and vomiting.
Remember:
Some people call emergency contraceptive pills "morning after pills," but you don't have to wait until the morning after. You can take the pills right away or use them up to five days after sex if you did not use birth control, you think your birth control failed, or you were forced to have sex. (Wondering if you really could get pregnant? Find out here.) Also, the sooner you take emergency contraceptive pills, the better they work.
You can use pills labeled for emergency contraception or certain brands of daily birth control pills to prevent pregnancy after sex. (Find out which ones here).

More about Dr.Drew
Dr.Drew,the "protagonist" f the show, is the host of another famous VH1 show, "Celebrity Rehab with Dr.Drew"
"Celebrity Rehab" is the first television series to chronicle the dramatic, unscripted real life experiences of a group of actual celebrities as they make the life-changing decision to enter themselves into a drug, alcohol and addiction treatment program with the sincere desire to achieve true rehabilitation and recovery.
This compelling true account of addiction, healing, and redemption is being supervised with great compassion and insight by renowned addiction and recovery expert Dr. Drew Pinsky, Medical Director of the Department of Chemical Dependency Services at Southern California's Las Encinas Hospital, and host of the long-running radio and television advice series LOVELINE".
This inspirational journey begins inside one of Southern California's private addiction and recovery treatment facilities, the Pasadena Recovery Center, where a group of well-known celebrities make the brave decision to commit themselves to a legitimate protocol of supervised medical treatment over a period of several weeks At every step in
this challenging process, viewers at home will witness the real true life struggles of these celebrity patients, who ultimately appear in their sincerest human form as regular people in need of a helping hand and earnestly striving for recovery, health and future happiness.
The cast include "Rodney King, the man whose videotaped beating by police officers sparked the 1992 LA riots.Also in “Rehab” are former stripper-turned-”American Idol” Season 1 finalist Nikki McKibbin, actress Tawny Kitaen, model/actress Amber Smith, former Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler and Rod Stewart’s troubled son Sean Stewart.
I believe that this show is shocking, it is amazing to see how people that had the s-called "perfect lives" are now suffering with addiction and facing new problems everyday. For example, Steven Adler, former Guns N Roses drummer, was one of the famous faces of the 80's. Today, he is in the show, facing his addictions and realizing that everything he had is now gone.
Dr.Drew is an amazing host, he clearly knows the subject,and considering he now hosts two famous shows, he has all the experienced needed.

Take a moment to read this story.
http://www.sexetc.org/story/2067/
After reading her story, don’t you feel like people should be more concerned about their sex life?
She’s only nineteen years old and she’s already suffering from a lifelong STD.
I agree with this person, who preferred to remain anonymous, “the next best thing after being abstinent (which I know how unrealistic that is for many) is to truly know whom you’re having sex with.”
