Sex is considered
to be the least boring and most pleasurable
activity. We express out most fundamental natures
through our sexual choices. Pleasure, enjoyment,
and sharing are the fruits of sexual expression.
Sex in any form whether verbal or visual is an
exciting topic. The subject of sex influences our
most elemental our elemental feelings and touches
us in the most sensitive areas of our being.
The common human
trait of difficulty in discussing matters related
to sex has contributed to the growth of
unscrupulous 'sex therapists' in India. Studies
have shown, most of the general practitioners'
spend very little time with their patients
discussing their sexual problems. Many teachers in
medical colleges are personally uncomfortable
discussing issues of sexuality with their students
and this has created a huge vacuum of information
related to sexual health.
We have featured
many insightful articles on the key concepts in
human sexuality, which will increase effectiveness
in your daily practice. Biggest sex controversies
of out time, "Is there a 'G' spot? " and
"Do female ejaculate?" are also
featured.
Vatsyayana and
other ancient seers described over twenty
different coital positions. Majority of these
positions featured five most popular coital
positions with their advantages and disadvantages
to bring spice to your sex life. The impact of
physical illness on sexual ability, sex during
pregnancy, sex after surgery, response of sense
organs to sex and sex appeal of different female
body parts are featured with research studies.
Extensive coverage of sex researches will shock,
inform and transform your understanding of sexual
health. These findings once again reaffirm, sex
can be one of the most gratifying experiences that
life has to offer at any age.
Premature
ejaculation is an frequent dysfunction and our
article features thirteen different
non-pharmacological and effective treatment
modalities for this nightmare
Aphrodisiacs pay
an important role in promoting the sexual urge. We
have listed several aphrodisiac recipes mentioned
in ayurvedic text. Though the most powerful sex
stimulant lies between the ears, human quest
continues for elusive" love drugs and libido
enhancers".
In recent times
many vested interests are waging a war against
Ayurveda to check its unprecedented growth. There
has been a systematic, ongoing campaign to malign
Ayurvedic medicines especially, those containing
metals and minerals. Surprisingly, the focus is on
the safety and not the efficacy when it comes to
Ayurvedic.
Ayurvedic
medicines should not be studied after splitting up
the individual drugs. They have to be looked at in
a synergistic way. They are safe as the
ingredients are buffered by many other compounds
contained in them. Medical journals and newspapers
tend to give disproportionately dramatic coverage
to isolated reports of harm caused by taking these
medicines. Interestingly, none of the credible
journals have carried human trials of Ayurvedic
medicines that caused any harmful effects The
failure of Allopathy to effectively treat a wide
range of chronic illopathy to effectively treat a
wide range of chronic illnesses opens up a space
for Ayurveda in the west. To appease western
medicine proponents, Ayurvedic approaches are
starting to dovetails with Alolopathic approaches
i.e. reduce stress, reduce exposure to free
radicals, improve nutrition, manage weight,
caloric consciousness and so on. In India we use
these herbs as medicines and not as dietary
supplement.
Ayurveda resists
the Cartesian world view of Allopathy, which
separates mind and body and its advocacy of the
mechanical intervention into nature that strives
to manufacture health. In Ayurveda, knowledge is
context bound, resistant to universalizing rules
applicable to all. Another policy appears to be
underway is systematic way of Allopathization of
Ayurveda and closing down small Ayurvedic firms by
insisting and imposing number of restrictions.
Here the politics is of a different style.
Ayurvedic drug research has to follow the line of
Allopathy.
