Personal lubricant - Water-based.
Water-based personal lubricants are water soluble, and are generally the type which is least irritating to body surfaces. These are descended from a cellulose and water combination, originally labeled as 'Surgilube', released in the 1950s. Subsequent products have added various agents for spreading, water retention, and resistance to contamination. The viscosity of these products can be adjusted by adjusting their water content and concentration of cellulose (or other gel forming ...

Circumcision - Risks of circumcision.
Circumcision is a surgical procedure, and there is a risk of complications. The AAP, AMA, and AAFP state that the rate is between 0.2% and 0.6%, based upon large series. The CPS acknowledge these series, but additionally cite a review which suggested that a rate of 2% to 10% would be more realistic. The Royal Australasian College of Physicians states the rate of complications of infant circumcision as "between 0.2% and 0.6% to 2%-10%" in one section, and "1% to 5%" in another ...

| | | | | Intercourse: Encyclopedia II - Circumcision - History of circumcision It has been variously proposed that circumcision began as a religious sacrifice, as a rite of passage marking a boy's entrance into adulthood, as a form of sympathetic magic to ensure virility, as a means of suppressing (or enhancing) sexual pleasure, as an aid to hygiene where regular bathing was impractical, as a means of marking those of lower (or higher) social status, as a means of differentiating a circumcising group from their non-circumcising neighbors, as a means of discouraging masturbation or other socially proscribed sexual behav ...

| | | | | Intercourse: Encyclopedia II - Circumcision - The procedures of circumcision Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin from the penis. Clamps, such as the Gomco, Plastibell, and Mogen are commonly used for infant circumcision.[8] These are intended to protect the glans from harm, and crush the foreskin to achieve hemostasis. When the Gomco or Mogen clamp is used, a dorsal slit must be made before application of the clamp. In the case of the Mogen and Plastibell, the foreskin is then surgically removed, while when the Plastibell is used, the for ...

Circumcision - Aesthetics.
Circumcision may be undertaken as a body modification of the genitals to change the looks of the penis to appeal more to certain aesthetics. Where infant or childhood circumcision is the norm, people may consider non-circumcised penises to be less pref ...

| | | | | Intercourse: Encyclopedia II - Circumcision - Ethical Issues Circumcising infants as a public health measure is controversial. In cultures such as the USA, lay people may regard infant circumcision as a routine medical practice but medical organizations in Australia, Canada, and America do not recommend routine infant circumcision [15]. While the risks of circumcision-related complications are very low [16], the possible catastrophic complications of a poorly carried out circumcision, or of post-operative bleeding or infection, are not to be taken lightly. The American Association of Physicians recomm ...

| | | | | Intercourse: Encyclopedia II - Circumcision - Sexual The sexual effects of circumcision are controversial. Only few studies have been made about the sexual function of the foreskin and the ridged band. Surveys however indicate that the majority of circumcised males are satisfied with their state.
Circumcision - Cultural.
Potential partners not used to intact males may consider them unclean or otherwise less preferrable as partners. A 1988 study of randomly selected young mothers in Iowa, where most men are circumcised, found that 76% found the circumc ...

| | | | | Intercourse: Encyclopedia II - Common misconceptions about HIV and AIDS - HIV antibody testing is unreliable Diagnosis of infection using antibody testing is one of the best-established concepts in medicine. HIV antibody tests exceed the performance of most other infectious disease tests in both sensitivity (the ability of the screening test to give a positive finding when the person tested truly has the disease ) and specificity (the ability of the test to give a negative finding when the subjects tested are free of the disease under study). All current HIV antibody tests have sensitivity and specificity in excess of ...

AIDS is nothing more than a new name for old diseases The diseases that have come to be associated with AIDS in Africa - such as wasting syndrome, diarrheal diseases and Tuberculosis - have long been severe burdens there. However, high rates of mortality from these diseases, formerly confined to the elderly and malnourished, are now common among HIV-infected young and middle-aged people, including well-educated members of the middle class (UNAIDS, 2000).
For example, in a study in Cote d'Ivoire, HIV-seropositive individuals with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) were 17 times more likely to di ...

As with medications for any serious diseases, antiretroviral drugs can have toxic side effects. However, there is no evidence that antiretroviral drugs cause the severe immunosuppression that typifies AIDS, and abundant evidence that antiretroviral therapy, when ...

| | | | | Intercourse: Encyclopedia II - Common misconceptions about HIV and AIDS - The distribution of AIDS cases casts doubt on HIV as the cause. Viruses are not gender-specific yet only a small proportion of AIDS cases are among women The distribution of AIDS cases, whether in the United States or elsewhere in the world, invariably mirrors the prevalence of HIV in a population. In the United States, HIV first appeared in populations of homosexual men and injection-drug users, a majority of whom are male. Because HIV is spread primarily through sex or by the exchange of HIV-contaminated needles during intravenous drug use, it is not surprising that a majority of U.S. AIDS cases have occurred in men (U.S. Census Bureau, 1999).
These behaviors also show a gender skew: ...

| | | | | Intercourse: Encyclopedia II - Common misconceptions about HIV and AIDS - HIV cannot be the cause of AIDS because the body develops a vigorous antibody response to the virus This reasoning ignores numerous examples of viruses other than HIV that can be pathogenic after evidence of immunity appears. Measles virus may persist for years in brain cells, eventually causing a chronic neurologic disease despite the presence of antibodies. Viruses such as cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex and varicella zoster may be activated after years of latency even in the presence of abundant antibodies. In animals, viral relatives of HIV ...

| | | | | Intercourse: Encyclopedia II - Common misconceptions about HIV and AIDS - Only a small number of CD4+ T cells are infected by HIV not enough to damage the immune system New techniques such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have enabled scientists to demonstrate that a much larger proportion of CD4+ T cells are infected than previously realized, particularly in lymphoid tissues. Robert Gallo, who is one of the preeminent HIV virologists, suggests that as many as 3% of CD4+ T cells show signs of HIV invasion. Macrophages and other cell types are also infected with HIV and serve as reservoirs for the virus.
Although the fraction of CD4+ T cells that is infected with HIV at any given time is never h ...

| | | | | Intercourse: Encyclopedia II - Common misconceptions about HIV and AIDS - HIV is not the cause of AIDS because many individuals with HIV have not developed AIDS HIV disease has a prolonged and variable course. The median period of time between infection with HIV and the onset of clinically apparent disease is approximately 10 years in industrialized countries, according to prospective studies of homosexual men in which dates of seroconversion are known. Similar estimates of asymptomatic periods have been made for HIV-infected blood-transfusion recipients, injection-drug users and adult hemophiliacs (Alcabes et al., 1993).
As with many diseases, a number of factors can influence the course of ...

| | | | | Intercourse: Encyclopedia II - Common misconceptions about HIV and AIDS - HIV is not the cause of AIDS because some people have symptoms associated with AIDS but are not infected with HIV Most AIDS symptoms result from the development of opportunistic infections and cancers associated with severe immunosuppression secondary to HIV.
However, immunosuppression has many other potential causes. Individuals who take glucocorticoids and/or immunosuppressive drugs to prevent transplant rejection or for autoimmune diseases can have increased susceptibility to unusual infections, as do individuals with certain genetic conditions, severe malnutrition and certain kinds of cancers. There is no evidence suggesting that the numbers ...

| | | | | Intercourse: Encyclopedia II - Common misconceptions about HIV and AIDS - HIV was introduced to North America by a Canadian flight attendant A Canadian airline steward named Gaëtan Dugas was referred to as "Patient O" (for "Out of California") in an early AIDS study by Dr William Darrow of the Centers for Disease Control. He was responsible for infecting several of the first few hundred victims of the disease, but he was not the first person to bring or spread AIDS to North America. This rumor may have started with Randy Shilts' 1987 book And The Band Played On (and the movie based on it, where Dugas is referred to as AIDS' Patient Zero), but neither the book nor t ...
