HOW A MAN IS CONNED BY SEXY WIGGLE OF WOMEN’S HIPS

Men are able to tell when a woman is at her most fertile stage - simply by watching the way she walks, a new study has revealed. Her dance moves are also a giveaway, but the way she walks provides men with the biggest clue. Exactly what signal she gives out remains unclear - but it may  involve a wiggle of the hips, the German scientists say.

48 young women were filmed as they walked up and down in a straight line and danced for 30 second bursts. Their movements were then turned into silhouettes, so that their appearance would not detract from their moves. More than 40 years after the George Harrison wrote the Beatles song Something, the University of Gottingen researchers set out to discover if there really is something special in the way a woman moves.

Two hundred men were then made to watch the videos of the walking or dancing silhouettes and comment on how attractive the moves were. The results clearly showed there to be something about the women’s movements when they were at their most fertile, that was more alluring to men, the Daily Mail reported.
The women underwent the process twice - once when they were at their most fertile and again when the odds of them becoming pregnant were very low. Both their dances and walks appealed more, the women’s gait was particularly appealing around the time that her odds of pregnancy were high, the researchers reported.

The scientists didn’t scrutinise the women’s moves to find out just what was attractive to the male eye. But researcher Bernhard Fink said that it is unlikely to do with the speed of their walk. Instead, the answer could lie in a sway, or wiggle, of the hips. “This study suggests that women’s body movements provide subtle clues to female fertility , which men can detect and are attracted to,” he added. The study was recently published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences

COUPLES ARE HAVING SEX SANS ORGASMS

Many couples are finding that the technique of karezza has helped heal their marriages, inject more spark into their sex lives, shed porn addiction, and even cure sexual dysfunction.
The word karezza was coined by Dr. Alice Bunker Stockham in 1896, a Chicago obstetrician and feminist who crusaded for birth control, a ban on corsets and sexual fulfillment for both men and women.
For strengthening marriages, Stockholm encouraged male continence, although she encouraged women abstain from orgasm as well, in the interest of equality.
Lauded by doctors and American's alike, karezza is beginning to be seen as a natural alternative to Viagra, and possibly a cure for sexual dysfunction, or lack of desire, in women.
Deb Feintech, a counsellor from Portland, Maine, says she often uses karezza to help couples repair their broken relationships.

"The people most interested are men. It's very radical for them, but they are finding the emotional intimacy far outweighs any of the thrill of the chase and the mating mind," the Daily Mail quoted her as telling ABC News.
She added that the practice is not just helpful for middle-aged couples struggling with the boredom of a long marriage, but also for young couples headed to the altar.

Sex in films can influence teens’ behaviours

Exposure to sexual content in movies at an early age probably influences adolescents’ sexual behaviour, according to a new study. Even though a great deal of research has shown that adolescents who watch more risky behaviours in popular movies, like drinking or smoking, are more likely to drink and smoke themselves, surprisingly little research has examined whether movies influence adolescents’ sexual behaviours until now.

Over six years, psychological scientists examined whether or not seeing sex on the big screen translates into sex in the real world for adolescents. Their findings revealed not only that it did but also explained some of the reasons why.

“Much research has shown that adolescents’ sexual attitudes and behaviours are influenced by media,” said Ross O’Hara, currently a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Missouri, who conducted the research with other psychological scientists while at Dartmouth College.

“But the role of movies has been somewhat neglected, despite other findings that movies are more influential than TV or music,” O’Hara noted.

Before recruiting participants for the study, O’Hara and his fellow researchers surveyed 684 top grossing movies from 1998 to 2004. They coded the movies for seconds of sexual content, like heavy kissing or sexual intercourse.

Researchers then recruited 1,228 participants who were from 12 to 14 years of age. Each participant reported which movies they had seen from a number of different collections of fifty that were randomly selected. Six years later the participants were surveyed to find out how old they were when they became sexually active and how risky their sexual behaviour might have been. Did they use condoms consistently? Were they monogamous or did they have multiple partners?

“Adolescents who are exposed to more sexual content in movies start having sex at younger ages, have more sexual partners, and are less likely to use condoms with casual sexual partners,” O’Hara explained.

To find out why do movies have these effects on adolescents, these researchers examined the role of a personality trait known as sensation-seeking.

One of the great dangers of adolescence, is the predisposition for sensation seeking behaviour. Between the ages of ten and fifteen, the tendency to seek more novel and intense stimulation of all kinds peaks. The wild hormonal surges of adolescence makes judicious thinking a bit more difficult.

O’Hara and his colleagues found that greater exposure to sexual content in movies at a young age actually led to a higher peak in sensation seeking during adolescence. As a result, sensation seeking sexual behaviour can last well into the late teens and even into the early twenties if young people are exposed to these kinds of movies. But researchers point out that sexual exposure in movies tends to activate sensation seeking both because of biology and the way that boys and girls are socialized.

“These movies appear to fundamentally influence their personality through changes in sensation-seeking, which has far-reaching implications for all of their risk-taking behaviours,” O’Hara said.

But sensation seeking did not entirely explain these effects; the researchers also speculate that adolescents learn specific behaviours from the sexual messages in movies. Many adolescents turn to movies to acquire “sexual scripts” that offer examples of how to behave when confronted with complicated emotional situations.

Researchers point out that it is important to remember that this research cannot conclude a direct causal effect of movies on sexual behaviour. Nonetheless, O’Hara said, “This study, and its confluence with other work, strongly suggests that parents need to restrict their children from seeing sexual content in movies at young ages.”

Their findings will be published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science (http://www.hindustantimes.com/Entertainment/SexAndRelationships/Sex-in-films-can-influence-teens-behaviours/Article1-891045.aspx)
