Since the advent of Monica Lewinsky, oral sex has been a hot topic for talk shows and related. The latest Guttmacher Institute survey indicates that teen sex is about the same as it was in 1991. Great leaps in oral sex have just not happened. Vagina sex is about the same. However, you would not know it in the popular press. The hysteria about teen sex is just that…hysteria.

There will probably be less sex on television and more talk about it. Why?  If you want hard core sex or erotica, one user can go to the internet. So television is targeting especially women with shows about the talk of sex. Talking about sex and doing sex is quite different and for women it means so much more. They can explore their feelings and imagine what might happen. Even some males like that. For the religious sex talk or mild sex simulation that fades to black is not a sin. By the way, television talk is generally a good activity for television.

Gays have been accepted. This is particularly true among the under 30 crowd and it appears that homosexuality is not growing rather it is coming out of the closet. If you go to a bar and two young women are kissing they are doing it to attract men. In other words, it is a new strategy to attract the other sex. And so it goes.

What to do with severe acne? There is a new breakthrough, a gizmo called (photophneumatic therapy.) It is electrically powered and has a strong suction cup that is placed over the acne. The cup sucks up the deleterious debris to the surface of the skin and it kills the bacteria. Quite soon the debris under the skin dries and the outer skin heals. The cost is $150 dollars to $500.00 per treatment. After the third, it is generally fixed. However, the person must return over the years.

 

Photodynamic therapy is used to help those with skin cancer. However, it may also apply to acne.

 

Then there is acutance. It works, but the side effects can be severe depression and thus an individual must be severely monitored.
