The flu is typically a virus that affects most people during winter months. Scientists attribute this seasonality to certain winter behaviors, such as cold climate changes, sharing indoor space constantly, less immunity-boosting Vitamin D from sunlight, low humidity rates, and winter physiology, such as runny noses, which allow viruses into mucous membranes. However, even though it still occurs more often in winter, people are getting the flu more often than usual during the summer months now, too.

Summer does not kill off flu germs. A person who is infected with the flu virus can pass it to others any time of year. People who travel during the summer, especially to other countries, run a higher risk of contracting the flu virus. This is because even though the United States is not in its regular flu season, many other parts of their world are. It has been suggested by scientists that in Southeast Asia, where animals and humans live in close proximity with each other, flu viruses are never dormant. They constantly mingle and swap genetic information. Scientists claim that the flu virus originates here in a viral reservoir somewhere in the tropics. Therefore, traveling and going on vacation during this time means you are more likely to come in contact with an infected person and get sick yourself.

Unlike the typical flu virus, swine flu, or H1N1 influenza, is a form of the flu that has not slowed down at all during summer months. People do all sorts of things to prevent getting the swine flu. Drug stores have run out of the medicine Tamiflu as many people who do not even show flu symptoms medicate themselves. However, taking unnecessary medications is strongly advised against by doctors. Using antibiotics improperly has caused drug-resistant influenza strains, and regular viruses have morphed into stronger strains for which there is no vaccine. Taking antibiotics can be hard on the body by weakening the immune system and making it harder to fight off germs.

So, what can be done to avoid summer flu viruses? Focusing on your natural defenses is the best way to go. Flu viruses evolve every year, changing enough to evade the formerly prepared immune system and re-emerging with an entirely different genetic makeup ready to challenge your immune system once again. This is why it is important to have a strong immune system that can fight off the flu and other illnesses. Having good health in general helps maintain a healthy immune system, but doing certain things can help increase resistance to the flu. Exercising helps with physical health as well stress relief. Getting enough rest strengthens your defenses; not enough will wear down your immune system. Drink a lot of water – dehydration during summer months is a serious issue and can drastically weaken your immune system. Eat 8-10 servings of fresh vegetables and fruit every day, which are an excellent source of immune-boosting nutrients. Don’t forget to wash your hands several times a day to help avoid contact with germs.

While swine flu hysteria seems to be dying down, people are still getting sick during summer from both it and the regular influenza virus. Focus on strengthening your body’s natural defenses and see a doctor if symptoms worsen or do not go away.

Pain is without doubt associated with disease, and very often people tend to believe you should necessarily have pain when you have a serious illness. However, this is not always the case. In fact, a heart attack may present with very mild symptoms, which might not cause any pain initially. These can act as an alarm if you have the knowledge and skill to identify its significance.

Many people who end up developing heart attacks testify having initially developed chest tightness. This can feel like a squeezing sensation, and is more a discomfort rather than pain. Heart disease is very often associated with pain radiating to the arms, neck, back, shoulders and even epigastria. These, however, can occur with other less significant conditions, for examples, indigestion. However, a high level of suspicion should always be maintained. A previous cardiovascular history is important in such cases and should indicate that the heart might be involved again.

Other symptoms which might indicate a person has had a heart attack include agonizing pain, feeling dizzy or getting the sensation of fainting, profuse sweating even if it is quite cold, nausea, loss of energy in the limbs and shortness of breath. In some people who have a history of heart disease and angina, that is chest pain due to a heart condition, the rate, duration and intensity of the angina, may give a clue of an impending heart attack, especially if the symptoms do not alleviate in response to nitroglycerin. Heart attacks are usually more common in patients with unstable angina.

It is quite common for heart attacks to occur in the early morning, typically from around 4 am to 10 am. This is believed to be caused by high levels of adrenaline in the early hours. This may cause rupture of plaques and the formation of a blood clot, leading to a heart attack. It is to be noted though that heart attacks occur very rarely during exercise. Angina though occurs commonly during strenuous effort. Silent heart attacks may still occur at any time, and may go unnoticed.

Symptoms of a heart attack are similar to those of angina. However, the big and important difference which needs to be taken into consideration is that heart attack symptoms tend to occur for at least 15 minutes and does not alleviate with rest. An important life saving advice in such situations would be to take an aspirin, as it has a ‘thinning’ effect on the blood, which is then less likely to clot.

Atypical symptoms associated with heart attacks include heartburn, light-headedness and nausea. These are particularly common in people who also suffer from diabetes, in the elderly and in women. Heart attacks may also cause arrhythmias.

Heart attacks are without doubt a common occurrence these days, especially due to the sedentary lifestyles most people live. However, there are a number of risk factors for heart attacks which can be controlled. Another important point to be noted is the fact that heart attacks can be silent killers. It is therefore essential to identify those silent episodes as early as possible for a better prognosis.

Practice makes perfect

This is probably everyone's favorite tip that has ever been able to offer. Yes, having more sex will eventually lead to the “big bang” when you want it. Of course, assuming that you have a partner who is understanding of your situation, and is willing to participate, this can be a fun, and unique experience for you both. If you need a little help convincing your significant other of this, remind them that the more time that goes by, the more likely you are to get excited, and offer small pop rocks rather than the big fireworks display at the end. Point being, this is for their benefit as well. What a great excuse to experiment and see what works for you both.

As you do this, you setting your method of control to a new level, in turn preparing yourself for a whole new sexual experience.

Pinch it off

Yes, we know that sounds painful, but it works. What you are going to do is go about your usual romantic encounter, but when you feel that you are about to ejaculate, you are going to pinch the tip of your penis right at the shaft, do this for about 30 seconds or until the urge stops.

These five techniques are all home remedies that have been passed on from one man to another, all to have been known to work. They are not from medical scientists or doctors, it is always best to discuss these issues with your physician.

Some of such activities include wearing a hot and sexy dress, dancing naked in your room, watch the sexual movies with your partner, etc.

Warm it up
What warm up is to a workout is the foreplay to sex; you should prepare your body to have pleasurable sex.

Groping kissing, stroking and biting are superb go-to moves; but nothing is more enthralling and startling than a sensual, paroxysm massage. Massages not only make us feel good, but, as an additional bonus, they limber up the skin and hook us up with our partner. Therefore, playing on some lovely sexy music, lightning an aroma soy candle, and massaging each other from head to toe are some excellent warming up proceedings.  

Try everything once
Nothing is more elating and riveting than the unexpected, so trying sex with different positions or using a vibrating toy might be all that is required to put the enchantment back into your lovemaking. For instance, going through a book with your partner, such as the Kama Sutra, The Position, the Day Playbook or The Position of Sex Bible is also a very helpful way.

The detailed study of every aspect of human sexuality is what we call as sexology. At present, there are three fields of practice in sexology: sexual education, research, and clinical practice.

This methodical study of human sexuality includes all features of sexuality, such as--

1. Sexuality of particular groups, such as children, handicapped, elderly

2. Normal sexuality

3. Sexual intercourse

4. Paraphilias

5. Sexual development

6. Sex addiction

7. Sexual malfunction

8. Sexual abuse

Sexology is generally studied at the academia level, but the modalities of its studies may vary in different countries. In several European countries, it is essential to be a general practitioner or doctor first in order to be a sexologist. In some countries such as United States, a professional as a psychologist, psychiatrist, and an anthropologist specialized in the human sexuality field can be accepted as a sexologist.

It is imperative to emphasize on the fact that the l’Université du Québec in Quebec is the only university all over the world which provides a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in sexology. Thus, if you want to be famous as a renowned sexologist in province of Quebec, it is compulsory to have a bachelor’s degree in sexology.

History of the Sexology

One of the most primitive sex researchers before the sexology movement of 20th century was Richard Freiherr, whose book was named Psychopathia Sexualis traced a number of atypical sexual abnormalities. The great sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld established a Sexology Institute in Berlin in 1919.

In the early 20th centuries, and late 19th famous sexologist Sigmund Freud created a sexuality theory based on the case studies of his clients.

Sexology is related to many other fields of study too such as—

Numerous fields of medicine, along with gynaecology, andrology, and the sex organs anatomy
The sociology, psychology, and anthropology of sexual deeds
The neuroscience is also used to research on many fundamental sexual reflexes, and is ever more relevant to more intricate features of the sexual behavior
Psychoanalysis also studies few of the more severe disorders regarding sexual behavior
There are many aspects of sexual behaviors that come under certain law and some sexual offences are studied under the subject of criminology
The sexual activities of other animals, and their comparison with sexual behavior of humans are studied under biology.
One of the very important aspects of sexology is the study of sexually transmitted diseases termed as epidemiology.
Sexology also includes some of the public issues like the debates over public health, abortion reproductive technology, and birth control.

Some of the famous sexologists’ are—

Theodor Hendrik van de Velde
Havelock Ellis
Milton Diamond
Ernest Bornemann
Kurt Freund
Anne Fausto-Sterling
Oswalt Kolle
Alfred Kinsey
 
The most important thing to know is that now, in modern times, there is no reason to keep quite or be ashamed of problems linked to sexuality. A bad or dysfunctional sex life is something very frustrating to both partners and sometimes it may cloud a relationship to a point of no return. Today there are many advances in the field of sexology. It is not a dirty little secret anymore. Today, the world is smaller, people worldwide suffer from basically the same things in the field of sexual problem, after all we all still mate in the same way. Problems like sexual addiction can be cured by therapy. Fetishes such as S&M are no longer considered abnormal and are encouraged to be fully explored. Its' a much wider and more open world out there, there is no need to suffer, be open as well and seek help.

Multiple orgasms are actually a series of repetitive orgasmic experiences that take place in quick sequence. Moreover, in the field of multiple orgasms, females have the biological superiority over men. This is because unlike the men, women do not experience a refractory period after sex (the period when men cannot be aroused after the ejaculation). Thus, women can respond instantly after orgasm to yet another vaginal, clitoral, and G-spot stimulation (G-spot is the small, heaved bump of urethral tissue just within the vagina along its frontage wall).

The fact is that almost all women are able to enjoy multiple orgasms. Actually, if a woman can attain an orgasm once, she is supposed to be able to acquire multiples as well!

Here are some tips to perk up your chances of acquiring multiple orgasms--

Know your body. You should crawl before you start walking; that means you must have one orgasm pleasurably before you go for multiple orgasms. Try to know your body's sizzling and blistering spots and not-spots (areas which stimulation doesn’t please you). Thus knowing your body is the indispensable base to sexual response.
Put into practice. It takes practice both for you and for your loving partner to get multiple orgasms. It is kind of like learning to boast your first orgasm. Both of you have to plunge yourself in sexual fantasy, or do whatever it takes to arouse yourself and your partner such as wearing a hot sexy dress, watching a sexy movies, dancing together on a love number. You can also use different types of lubrication so you can keep trying to achieve multiple orgasms by invigorating all of your genital body parts, such as the vagina, clitoris, and G-spot and not worrying about chaffing of vaginal dryness.
Slow down-- use much foreplay, particularly foreplay that results in the clitoral stimulation. Oral sex has an imperative part of fine foreplay. It is as warm and affectionate as you can get to your partner in the actual intercourse. Oral sex could be performed in the hot water shower or bath or even on the kitchen counter!
Relax for a while before the sexual intercourse. Often, the reason for not experiencing multiple orgasms is lack of sleep. Generally, after the first orgasm men and women feel very relaxed. Hence that they may want to doze off. However, if you are previously well rested, you can defy that sleep lure, and go for the next orgasm, and the next one after that, and more.

Medications—there are many medicines available these days, which are very effective in prolonging erection for men and in addition or even as a result cause multiple orgasms for men and women since when the man has a prolonged erection he also has a stronger libido and a stronger urge to please the woman, it also prolongs the time of the intercourse which helps generate multiple orgasms. Some of these drugs are Viagra, Super Hardon and Cialis.

With the advent of fast acting chemical drugs (allopathic drugs are mostly made of fast acting chemicals in atomic, molecular or even in polymer forms), the scenario of medical treatment has revolutionized and treatment of acute as well as chronic ailments including life threatening ones, underwent a sea of changes. Entering the blood stream faster, these chemicals which are abundant in allopathic drugs act fast and can provide immediate relief and apart from curing or controlling illness in the long term therapy they also improve the quality of life substantially.

However, since modern prescription drugs are mostly fast acting, our body system may not fully adjust to the entering drug which enter the body and takes its effect very fast, In some cases the drug chemicals interfere with the metabolic process and other body processes and may release dangerous toxins and free radicals which then manifest in the form of various side effects some of which may have life threatening prospects.

Also these drugs must be administered in properly measured doses to provide with the best curing results commensurate with low side effects. Again, it is necessary to monitor the gains and the losses caused by these drugs over a period of time and to assess whether the gains of treatment substantially outweigh the losses caused by it.

One of the most important aspects of treatment is drug compliance. Antibiotics have the tendency to become resistant if drug compliance is poor or drug is stopped before completing the full course. The thumb rule in drug compliance is the less the number of times a drug is taken per day (or per week) the better the compliance will be. Accordingly, some pharmaceuticals manufacture slow release drugs called Long Acting (LA), Sustained Release (SR) or even once a Day (OD) which taken once a day works throughout the day allowing better compliance. Some drugs are even available in once a week format.

There are drugs that need to be used concomitantly. For example, pain killers must be taken along with antacids or proton pump inhibitors to neutralize or block secretion of acid in the stomach induced by pain killers.

There are drugs that need to be taken first thing in the morning or to be taken in an upright position and drugs that if taken nothing else is to be taken thereafter for an hour or so. Also there are drugs that are to be taken with or without food.

Most importantly some drugs are contraindicated while another drug therapy is going on. Patients suffering from low blood pressure should not take Viagra without add-ons. The question of overdosing and emergency treatment in such an eventuality is also a matter of importance.

The above list in not quite extensive enough and there are many other important aspects that need to be considered before taking prescription drugs and only a qualified physician can impress upon the patient the threadbare of drug administration. Therefore, medical opinion is a must before you take prescription drugs.
