Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder: "Not tonight! Every night"&lt;br/&gt;Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) is defined as a persistent lack of desire or absence of sexual fantasies, mood and sex stimulation.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;2. Sexual Arousal Disorder: "Nothing Play Turn-On"&lt;br/&gt;When your body ignores listening to your mind which says "YES" to sex, it's called sexual arousal disorder (SAD). Medically speaking, SAD is defined as the persistent or recurring inability to maintain adequate genital lubrication, swelling or other responses. Vaginal lubrication is dependent on the swelling of blood vessels in the genital region, so any impediment to blood flow could potentially cause SAD.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;3. Female Orgasmic Disorder: "Lack of / No Orgasm"&lt;br/&gt;A persistent delay in, or complete absence of, orgasm that causes the woman marked distress is called "female orgasmic disorder" (FOD).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;4.

Find good quality dark chocolate, &lt;A href="http://longevity.about.com/od/lifelongnutrition/ht/taste_chocolate.htm"&gt;learn to appreciate it&lt;/A&gt;, and have a bit of it each day. Eating chocolate may lower your blood pressure and cholesterol while providing an energy boost.&lt;DIV class="lsLks"&gt;&lt;A href="http://longevity.about.com/od/lifelongnutrition/p/chocolate.htm"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV class="lsItm"&gt;&lt;H3&gt;3. &lt;A href="http://longevity.about.com/od/lifelongbeauty/tp/smiling.htm"&gt;Smile&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/H3&gt;Smiling is a great way to change your attitude, connect with people and give benefit to your body. Like &lt;A href="http://longevity.about.com/od/preventingandreversing/ht/relax_response.htm"&gt;relaxation&lt;/A&gt;, smiling can work to counteract the effects of stress. By forcing ourselves to &lt;A href="http://longevity.about.com/od/lifelongbeauty/tp/smiling.htm"&gt;smile&lt;/A&gt;, we "trick" our body into believing that everything is good, thereby reducing stress. Like a switch, smiling can actually change your mood. So put a smile on, even if you don't feel like it, and pretty soon you'll be smiling for real.&lt;DIV class="lsLks"&gt;&lt;A href="http://longevity.about.com/od/lifelongbeauty/tp/smiling.htm"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/longevity+healthy+aging+live+longer+sex+chocolate+/" rel="tag"&gt;longevity healthy aging live longer sex chocolate &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://longevity.about.com/od/longevity101/tp/fun_ways.htm</clipSource><pubDate>Mon, 29 Sep 2008 14:44:58 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Andropause</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/63C7520E-73C4-4E26-9884-A7B2F5F28C1D/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/topsexualhealth/"&gt;topsexualhealth&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  As you enter your thirties, most men begin to experience signs of andropause. Like Menopause in women, Andropause begins to alter your body’s production of hormones, most noticeably Testosterone. These changes happen over time and gradually affect physical performance, fatigue and energy levels, moods, sex drive, and even thinning hair. Provacyl™ works by helping your body increase hormone production and balancing the testosterone to estrogen ratios, as well as helping the body convert testosterone to DHT. &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://topsexualhealth.blogspot.com/search/label/Andropause" title="http://topsexualhealth.blogspot.com/search/label/Andropause"&gt;topsexualhealth.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you haven't heard of andropause, it isn't new. It has been in medical literature since the forties. The ability to diagnose andropause however, is relatively new. Sensitive tests for available testosterone are now an option. The links between bio-available testosterone and the signs of aging are more evident than ever. Starting in our thirties, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin or SBHG increases. SBHG traps much of the testosterone that is still circulating and makes it unavailable to affect the body. So not only is production down, but absorption is up.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/andropause/" rel="tag"&gt;andropause&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/production+of+testosterone/" rel="tag"&gt;production of testosterone&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/increase+hormone+production/" rel="tag"&gt;increase hormone production&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/maintain+erection/" rel="tag"&gt;maintain erection&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/improve+sexual+function/" rel="tag"&gt;improve sexual function&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/androgen/" rel="tag"&gt;androgen&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/male+sex+hormone/" rel="tag"&gt;male sex hormone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://topsexualhealth.blogspot.com/search/label/Andropause</clipSource><pubDate>Thu, 25 Sep 2008 23:05:06 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title> Acupuncture Reduces Side Effects of Breast Cancer Treatment</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/8DB719CB-E7BE-48A1-8C5F-A5178935BC06/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/SenorCoconut/"&gt;SenorCoconut&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.ahealthblog.com/acupuncture-reduces-side-effects-of-breast-cancer/" title="http://www.ahealthblog.com/acupuncture-reduces-side-effects-of-breast-cancer/"&gt;www.ahealthblog.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/SenorCoconut/512/A7CDA265-C5CD-4B00-8EE4-AAA37CB0204D.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;Acupuncture is as effective and longer-lasting in managing the common debilitating side effects of hot flashes, night sweats, and excessive sweating (vasomotor symptoms) associated with breast cancer treatment and has no treatment side effects compared to conventional drug therapy, according to a first-of-its-kind study presented September 24, 2008, at the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology’s 50th Annual Meeting in Boston.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;Findings also show there were additional benefits to acupuncture treatment for breast cancer patients, such as an increased sense of well being, more energy, and in some cases, a higher sex drive, that were not experienced in those patients who underwent drug treatment for their hot flashes.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;The reduction in hot flashes lasted longer for those breast cancer patients after completing their acupuncture treatment, compared to patients after stopping their drug therapy plan.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/acupuncture/" rel="tag"&gt;acupuncture&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/breast+cancer+treatment/" rel="tag"&gt;breast cancer treatment&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.ahealthblog.com/acupuncture-reduces-side-effects-of-breast-cancer/</clipSource><pubDate>Mon, 22 Sep 2008 21:01:33 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Jon Stewart rips McCain, GOP duplicity on off-shore drilling</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/1ED4C70D-F42F-4898-BA77-A82E5EEB430E/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/ratilfar/"&gt;ratilfar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  In the end the only ones getting drilled here are the taxpayers.

McCain at a governor's conference in Washington, they discussed energy but parted company on the issue of drilling in ANWR, which he has opposed.&lt;/blockquote&gt; And in regard to her position on a social issue:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;she supports abstinence-until-marriage programs, &lt;i&gt;where teens are taught to refrain from sex until marriage&lt;/i&gt; and contraception is discussed only to explain its failings.&lt;/blockquote&gt; ....."Christian conservatives" should see she did not do a very good job in her own family on that issue (i.e. Bristol's pregnancy and open under-age drinking), instead of giving her blind praise. &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:#e5e5e5"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122048513733097089.html?mod=googlenews_wsj" title="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122048513733097089.html?mod=googlenews_wsj"&gt;online.wsj.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/blueridge/512/E209F33B-5118-4BE7-8150-3B7DCDC116A0.gif" alt="The Wall Street Journal Home Page" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;H1 class="articleTitle"&gt;Focus Turns to Palin Record&lt;/H1&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P class="times"&gt;In the five days since Sen.

Palin has supported abortion restrictions and floated the idea of pulling books she considered offensive from a local library. But she also drew the ire of the religious right by shelving calls for new abortion limits, when she worried it would distract from her bipartisan deal to push through a new gas pipeline. She forced through property-tax cuts, but also raised taxes on oil companies. She has close relations with organized labor, backing union contracts on a state pipeline.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;But Gov.

It's a computer simulation where hundreds of virtual organisms evolve swimming skills. 
These organisms are 
called "swimbots". 
You can set mate preference criteria and thus influence what the swimbots consider as 
attractive qualities in potential mates. The most attractive swimbots get chosen most 
often to have little babies, and so their genetic building blocks propogate to future generations. Eventually, swimbots get better at 
pursuing each other, competing for food, and becoming babes to other swimbots. 
Local gene pools emerge which compete for sex and food (for energy to have more sex). 
Eventually a dominant sub-population takes over. 
&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.swimbots.com/" title="http://www.swimbots.com/"&gt;www.swimbots.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;
