With society being more liberated than before, everyone has become open about sex. And so have teenagers. Teenagers are usually more influenced by peer pressure than parents. They are more vulnerable. In a recent survey conducted by Australian Research Centre for Sex, Health and Society, at La Trobe University, found that “One third of Aussie teenagers have confessed that they have experienced unwanted sex.”
This survey involved 2926 students from 105 schools in state and private schools.
Overall, 25% of year 10 students, and more than 50% of year 12 students, said they had had intercourse. “Average age of the year 10 students was 15 and the year 12s was usually 17” said Professor Smith. 90% of teenagers who were sexually active indicated they wanted to have sex.
This survey also indicated healthy awareness of safe-sex messages in teenagers. They used condoms and contraceptives for safer sex. They were not embarrassed about asking for information about sex. 56% of girls and boys said that their main source of information was their mother.
From the abstract:
Teenagers are burdened by peer pressure. They are influenced by the way adults behave around them socially too. This survey clearly shows that sex education does help them. Teenagers, especially girls indulge in unwanted sex due to pressure from their partner or in cases where they are drunk. Teenagers have more number of sexual partners nowadays. This has underscored the need for sex education to prevent any future issues that may arise and its risks.
No doubts everyone wants sex and most of them do visit www.asureting.com regularly to find sex mates. But teens look for partners within school premises usually. It’s amazing to know the comfort level adolescents share with their mother, to understand more about sex and its risks. Today, it is essential for parents to let their children share their feeling regarding physical needs or sex. Parents can guide them and lead them to indulge in safer or protective sex. Raising fingers on sex education cannot stop teens from having sex or even being pregnant. The onus is on parents to be their foundation or first source of knowledge.

Are you driving your lover bonkers?
It’s true that nobody or no one is perfect. When we look for a life partner we look for certain attributes. But it’s rare to find someone with all qualities that we need. When two people are in love they believe that they are made for each other. Later once they live together couples realize how different they are. Later, the daily trifle issues gain more importance that makes daily life hell. What bothers you is your partner's complains. The constant nagging that you've been driving him/ her crazy. However, if you have been ignoring this reaction thinking that your partner's just overreacting; maybe you should watch your behavior.
Check if you are doing any of these following things daily. 1. Snore like a drilling machine; 2. Be a cling-on or be possessive; 3. Compare constantly. ; 4. Not listening. ; 5. Always be late. ; 6. Give constant advice. ; 7. Harp on old issues. 8. Criticize your partner in front of others. If you are doing any of these things you are a big turn off to your partner.
Though no one snores deliberately, it’s very irritating. At least acknowledge that you have a problem and consult a doctor. Clinging on to a partner due to jealousy or possessiveness can be really stifling. A partner is not always responsible for your happiness and entertainment. So go get a life. At the same time, if you compare or pass on a deaf ear to your partner it shows that you have no respect for your partner. It can be very depressing to hear someone moaning or cribbing about every small thing.
From the abstract:
When two people meet, there are sparks, which make them come together. They start dating, living together and sharing life. Initially both find each other perfect. They believe they are made for each other. Later once they live together couples realize how different they are. Their flaws become more visible than their positive qualities. The honey moon period is then over powered by small tiffs and daily life chores and issues.
Few small issues become big when they become a part of daily life. For instance if you act as a critic to your partner in front of others, this shows that you want to prove that your partner is worthless and incompetent. There is no need for such broadcasting. One can easily point out mistakes in another person but it’s difficult to accept mistakes. In any case, one should avoid the 8 things mentioned above in order to maintain happiness, peace and harmony in a relationship.
It takes a lot to be a couple in ‘love’ for years to come. It needs deep understanding, sacrifice and compromise to remain in love for long.

Women can now blame their hormones for being unfaithful
Women go through lot of hormonal changes throughout life. These changes usually occur during menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause. However, sometimes these changes may be triggered all of a sudden due to thyroid glands and estrogen (the female sex hormone).
In a recent study conducted by Dr. Kristina Durante of The University of Texas at Austin and colleagues found that estrogen levels in a woman is a deciding factor that can make a woman look good and also affect her fertility. Also, if a woman had high level of estrogen known as estradiol she not only looks and feel pretty but she is also more prone to hop from man to man. High level of estrogen is linked with making a woman attractive and flirtatious.
"These women are willing to trade up when the opportunity arises and continue to extract these lucrative resources from men when they can," says Kristina, who led the study. To reach the conclusion, Durante's team tested 52 female undergraduates aged 17 to 30 who were not taking hormone contraceptives. They took two estradiol samples from each, as hormone levels fluctuate from week to week.
“High oestradiol women reported that they had dated more men and were more willing to cheat, from innocent flirts to serious affairs. These women, however, proved no more interested in one-night stands than women with lower levels of oestradiol.”
From the abstract:
They say beauty is only skin deep. But now we know that it’s deep till the sex hormones. Though it’s not possible to believe that all beautiful women are flirtatious and switch partners time to time, this research proves it to be true. Usually attractive women do get more options to choose from. They receive more male attention. This makes them opportunistic.
When such women are in relationship they tend to look for something more or better. This leads to an unfaithful behavior. However, if you are in love with your partner no matter how many options you get, one will still remain faithful. Also, a couple needs to have an understanding between them about their sexual desires and materialistic wants. Selflessness to an extent is essential to balance a relationship. AST- Asurething.net provides couples with an open ground to discuss about their sexual desires.
It is the boundaries you set for yourself that restricts you and not the boundaries society or others set.

Swingers have lower divorce rates
In today’s life nothing remains forever. Love, hatred, relationships and people, nothing really remains alive forever. Let’s face it. That’s a bestowed reality of nature. There are more divorce rates now in comparison to few decades ago. Divorce has become very common nowadays. We rarely find couples celebrating their silver jubilees and golden jubilees. Though there are several reasons behind it the rate of increase is alarming.
The Americans for Divorce Reform estimates that "Probably, 40 or possibly even 50 percent of marriages will end in divorce if current trends continue.” which is actually a projection.
There is one type of couple who are least affected by this. They are Swingers. Apparently it has been found that swingers have a lower divorce rate. In scientific studies conducted by professors of Bellarmine University, on 1092 swingers, show consistently that swingers bond better in a relationship than monogamous couples.
“Half of those who rated their relationship very happy before becoming swingers maintained it had become even happier. 90% of those with less happy relationships said swinging improved them. Almost 70% of swingers claimed no problem with jealousy, around a quarter admitted to some jealousy but only 6% said it was very much a problem.” Another interesting outcome of research is that swingers are happier in their relationships than the average person. 60% of swingers said that swinging improved their relationship. Also swingers rate themselves happier (59% against 32% very happy). Overall they consider their lives much more exciting (76% against 54% exciting) than couples who don't consider swinging as a lifestyle.
From the abstract:
The recent study on swingers and monogamous couples clearly shows that swingers are happy couples. The root cause of most divorces is lack of communication, dishonesty, or finances. Swingers have solid relationships based on honesty and open communication, which goes to eliminate almost all of the issues listed above.
Swingers that do divorce do it for other reasons than swinging. Most of the monogamous couples who turned swingers have said that swinging proved to be better for their relationship. There are a lot of questions people raise about STD and AIDS. However, being a swinger does not make catching an STD more likely. There are no public health concerns associated with swinging. Swingers play it safe they use condoms. Indeed, all swingers clubs such as AST – www.asurething.net have rules about condom use and the irresponsible ones are excluded
Whether you are a single or a couple (monogamous or swinger couple) you should enjoy safer sex.
