      "body": "<html>\n<p>There is an overwhelming lack of understanding when it comes to &nbsp;female sexuality, from orgasm to dysfunction and general likes and &nbsp;dislikes, than there is for men. Just last week, researchers from Yale &nbsp;University were able to explain an evolutionary idea that attributes a woman’s orgasm to ovulation. While the two may have once been linked, mammals evolved menstrual cycles &nbsp;— and now they no longer need the hormonal rush of an orgasm to &nbsp;ovulate. Good thing, too, since only 57 percent of women in a 2015 &nbsp;survey reported achieving&nbsp;orgasm most or every time they had sex, <em>Mic </em>reported. For anyone who thinks that’s actually pretty good, their male partners had orgasms 95 percent of the time.</p>\n<p>Part of the problem is that science and research fields are still dominated by men; &nbsp;it’s not a coincidence we know more about the penis than the clitoris. &nbsp;There’s also poor knowledge of female anatomy among both men and women, &nbsp;and as <em>Mic</em> put it, “better knowledge of the parts can help with the mechanics.”</p>\n<p>Lucky for you, we rounded up sex facts that (ahem) touch on knowledge and mechanics.</p>\n<h2><strong>1. Vaginal orgasm is really an internal clitoral orgasm</strong></h2>\n<p>The sole purpose of a woman’s clitoris is to provide pleasure, and &nbsp;that’s it. Approximately 8,000 sensory nerve fibers are located in the &nbsp;“tender&nbsp;buttons” (for you Gertrude Stein fans)&nbsp;or “bulb” beneath the &nbsp;clitoral hood, nearly twice the amount found on the head of a penis. But &nbsp;there’s literally more: The clitoris is mostly subterranean, &nbsp;which means it mostly exists&nbsp;inside the vagina. The circular mass on &nbsp;the outside is&nbsp;connected to the shaft of the internal clitoris, and &nbsp;stimulating that shaft with either&nbsp;a penis or sex toy&nbsp;can greatly &nbsp;increase stimulation.</p>\n<h2>2. Women think about and want frequent sex, too</h2>\n<p>The idea that men are the only ones who think about sex all day is &nbsp;more stereotype than fact, (and that it’s as often as every 7 seconds is &nbsp;not proven by science). A recent survey &nbsp;from fertility app Kindara found that 53 percent of women were not &nbsp;having sex as much as they would have liked. In fact, almost three &nbsp;quarters of respondents wished they had sex at least three times a week.</p>\n<h2>3. Horny women were once thought mentally ill</h2>\n<p>Women living in the 19th century were considered crazy &nbsp;for having sexual urges. Physician George Taylor called it hysteria, a &nbsp;mental disorder that included symptoms like&nbsp;“excessive vaginal &nbsp;lubcrication” and “erotic fantasy,” <em>The Huffington Post</em> reported. Shocker, then, that it could be cured by \"pelvic massage.\"</p>\n<h2>4. Female sexuality is much more fluid</h2>\n<p>In 2016, a study published in the <em>Journal of Personality and Social Psychology</em> &nbsp;found that women were equally turned on by men and women, going so far &nbsp;as to say they could only be gay or bisexual, not straight. It’s not a &nbsp;generalizable study, but it echoes an earlier study &nbsp;that suggested women evolved to be more fluid than men as a mechanism &nbsp;to reduce conflict and tension among wives in polygynous marriages.</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://images.medicaldaily.com/sites/medicaldaily.com/files/styles/full_breakpoints_theme_medicaldaily_desktop_1x/public/2016/08/11/womens-sexuality.jpg\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\"/></p>\n<h2><strong>5. Period sex is not off limits</strong></h2>\n<p>Period sex &nbsp;has been a trending topic for years; all that’s changed recently is the &nbsp;number of men and women openly talking about it. Some can’t get behind &nbsp;it, but others enjoy the increased arousal and lubrication during that &nbsp;time of the month. Since the body is essentially preparing for &nbsp;reproduction, women sometimes feel more sexual during these encounters.</p>\n<h2><strong>6. Penis size doesn’t always matter</strong></h2>\n<p>Small studies on the relevance of a man’s penis size &nbsp;to women suggests it matters — but a 2015 video from Cut.com, a website &nbsp;devoted to video content, showed more women disagreeing with this idea &nbsp;than anything else. For many of them it mattered more “how you use it.” &nbsp;And then there is research, too, that shows men<a href=\"http://www.medicaldaily.com/does-size-matter-actual-women-describe-what-makes-good-looking-penis-343966\"> </a>worry more about size than women.</p>\n<h2>7. Missionary is best for women with back pain</h2>\n<p>More than half of American adults deal with some kind of back pain, and in a study &nbsp;from Waterloo University, researchers found missionary position while &nbsp;using a pillow for back support was best. For women feeling pain&nbsp;when &nbsp;touching their toes or after sitting for long periods of time, &nbsp;researchers recommended spooning or the doggy-style position</p>\n<h2>8. Personality plays a role</h2>\n<p>In a study &nbsp;of 278 newlywed heterosexual couples married for six months or less, &nbsp;researchers found both husbands and wives with low levels of neuroticism &nbsp;reported being more satisfied with their sex lives. Then, a study published in the <em>Journal of Research in Personality</em> &nbsp;found women who felt pressure from a partner to be perfect worried more &nbsp;about their sexual performance, possibly increasing the risk for sexual &nbsp;dysfunction and anxiety.</p>\n<h2>9. Apples an aphrodisiac?</h2>\n<p>An Italian study &nbsp;found that women who ate more apples experienced increased lubrication &nbsp;and sexual function, increasing their overall libido. As <em>Medical Daily</em> previously reported, &nbsp;the researchers believed the link had to do phloridzin, a key compound &nbsp;in apples that “mimics the female sex hormone estradiol, which plays a &nbsp;huge role in vaginal lubrication and female sexuality.” You can learn &nbsp;more about potential aphrodisiacs, and if they even work, here.</p>\n<h1>10. Infertility impacts 1 in 8 women</h1>\n<p>Even researchers of a recent study &nbsp;were surprised to find that almost half of the people experiencing &nbsp;infertility had not sought help. This can negatively affect women’s &nbsp;well-being, possibly leading to depression and emotional distress.</p>\n</html>",

The words, “Dear Sir or Madam,” scrawled loosely across &nbsp;the top. And nothing else. I wracked my brain for the lessons learned &nbsp;almost a decade before in high school about formal letters or business &nbsp;letters, but I struggled to apply these lessons to what I had to do now. &nbsp;Eventually, frustrated and annoyed, I sat down to my computer to &nbsp;search, “how to write a cover letter.” Yes, I Googled it. &nbsp;Unsurprisingly, search results were plentiful. Articles abounded on what &nbsp;to do and what to avoid, but still I felt perplexed. A search for cover &nbsp;letter <em>samples</em>, however, turned out to be the key. How quickly I was able to pull my own together after that!</p>\n<p>How often have you done &nbsp;this—searched the internet or asked a friend or colleague—when faced &nbsp;with drafting some new form of writing? Whether you’re writing a resume &nbsp;or a lesson plan, a thank you letter or a research paper, looking at &nbsp;samples of others’ work gives us a model to engage with while crafting &nbsp;our own unique material. Behold, the power of a mentor text.</p>\n<h1><strong>Observe and Replicate</strong></h1>\n<p><img src=\"http://69.195.124.95/~booksour/wp-content/uploads/MentorText_ObserveReplicate-749x500.jpg\" width=\"749\" height=\"500\"/></p>\n<p>This type of learning is not &nbsp;unique to writing. Think of the athlete who watches other players to &nbsp;learn a new skill or watches a game film to learn a new play. Think of &nbsp;the actor who spends countless hours watching and mimicking a great play &nbsp;to improve his own skills. Think of the businesswoman who watches TED &nbsp;Talks and practices to improve her public speaking.</p>\n<p>When we are asked to do or &nbsp;write something with which we are not familiar, we actively seek out &nbsp;models to emulate. We are using our own forms of mentor “texts”: the &nbsp;sample resume, the game film, the TED talks. These tools support us and &nbsp;help us grow our own skills. We needn’t rely on them forever.&nbsp;</p>\n<h1><strong>Mentor Texts in the Classroom</strong></h1>\n<p><img src=\"http://69.195.124.95/~booksour/wp-content/uploads/MentorText_InTheClassroom-750x500.jpg\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\"/></p>\n<p>Mentor texts fill this &nbsp;essential role within our classrooms for every age. Should a mentor text &nbsp;be something you read to the students once and then expect them to &nbsp;reproduce its wonder? Absolutely not. It is not something merely given &nbsp;to the students. Mentor texts should be well-loved, oft-referenced &nbsp;guides in the classroom<strong>. A powerful mentor text can—and &nbsp;should—be revisited time and time again to model strategies and to allow &nbsp;students to interact closely with the text.</strong> A strong teacher shows their students what to look for in the model and <em>why </em>it &nbsp;is a great example for their learning. The teacher guides them and &nbsp;supports them, while referring back to the text, as they experiment &nbsp;using their own words. Over time, your learners will draw less on the &nbsp;text support and more on their own skills, turning from fledgling &nbsp;attempts to masterful creations.</p>\n<h1><strong>What Makes a Mentor Text</strong></h1>\n<p><img src=\"http://69.195.124.95/~booksour/wp-content/uploads/WhatMakesaMentorText-750x500.jpg\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\"/></p>\n<p>The magic of a strong mentor &nbsp;text is not in the text. It is the teacher’s passion and energy, the &nbsp;ownership of instruction that comes from the teacher’s choice<em>. </em>Whenever &nbsp;possible, you should you use mentor texts that speak to you, that you &nbsp;love, that you radiate enthusiasm for. Perhaps you’ve always loved <em>Where the Wild Things Are</em>, or maybe you’re more motivated by Steve Jenkins and Robin Page’s <em>What Would You Do With A Tail Like This? </em>These are the books you should be using with your students because your emotions are contagious; your passion becomes<em> their</em> passion. Let them learn from the vivid verbs in Kevin Henke’s <em>Wemberly Worried</em>, and the character development in Gary Paulsen’s <em>Hatchet</em> or Harper Lee’s classic <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em>.</p>\n<p>There are lists galore with &nbsp;mentor texts to teach different skills or themes, but the truth is that &nbsp;almost any book can be a mentor text. What matters is how you engage &nbsp;your students with the text, preparing them to one day select and &nbsp;evaluate their own books to inspire and guide their growing craft. Maybe &nbsp;you already have your favorites, or maybe you’re looking for something &nbsp;new. Here are some books we love!</p>\n<p>#book</p>\n<p>#story</p>\n<p>#feature</p>\n</html>",

      "body": "<html>\n<p>&nbsp;*Cringe*. I am sure some of you are not too comfortable about the &nbsp;topic especially with our children. But….Let’s not be in denial. Parents need to wake up to reality. &nbsp;</p>\n<pre><code>32% of the youth aged 15-24 engage in sex and 78% of this is unprotected sex</code></pre>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<blockquote>Data from YAFS 4 indicate that 32 percent of young &nbsp;Filipinos between the ages of 15 to 24 have had sex before marriage. &nbsp;This shows a significant increase from 17.8 percent in 1994 and 23.2 &nbsp;percent in 2002. By age groups, more of those in the 20-24 age group had &nbsp;sex before marriage (54 percent) than those aged 15-19 (17 percent). &nbsp;The highest premarital sex prevalence were found in the National &nbsp;Capital Region (NCR), (40.9 percent), and Central Luzon (39.1 percent) &nbsp;while the lowest was in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), &nbsp;(7.7 percent).</blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;Beth Angsioco, reminds us “Let us not forget that per the respondents’ &nbsp;profile, more than 70 percent of them are Catholics. Yet, the Catholic &nbsp;hierarchy and its allies are blocking the implementation of the RH law, &nbsp;the law that can help young people responsibly manage their sexual &nbsp;lives.” &nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Just before I had kids , a friend told me that her daughter was only &nbsp;18 years old when she got pregnant. This happened during their first &nbsp;date. She expressed regret that she should have never assumed that her &nbsp;girl will never have sex before marriage. She says she should have &nbsp;lectured her girl about protection. My friend’s story left such an &nbsp;imprint on my mind that I resolved to teach my girls all I can about sex &nbsp;education when the appropriate time came. I knew I could not leave it &nbsp;to the school to teach them about it.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Let’s see…&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;<strong>What is happening to our sex education? </strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://aboutmyrecovery.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/Sex_Education1.gif\" width=\"497\" height=\"361\"/></p>\n<p>&nbsp;With the Reproductive Health Law still in TRO, sex education is left &nbsp;hanging in public schools. It is optional though when the law is in &nbsp;effect. Let’s look at this statement from Dr. Angelita Aguirre, head of &nbsp;Human Life International.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<blockquote>““The module should be scrapped. It does not have the &nbsp;emotional, psychological and spiritual dimensions of human sexuality. &nbsp;This is very important,” &nbsp;““The code of morality is high. We are not pagans. We would like to &nbsp;pressure everybody indulging in a conjugal act to get married first,” &nbsp;she said. Aguirre pointed out that the modules did not mention that a person had to get married before having sex.&nbsp;</blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;Saying NO is easy for some kids but not everyone has a strong will. Sex Education goes beyond just saying “NO” . &nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://aboutmyrecovery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/birth-control-NO.gif\" width=\"545\" height=\"496\"/></p>\n<p>&nbsp;As a concerned parent of two girls, I took an active role in teaching &nbsp;the basics of sex education even if their Catholic high school included a &nbsp;bit of sex education in their curriculum. Much as I want my two girls &nbsp;to get married first before having sex, this kind of sex education &nbsp;strategy (get married before having sex) does not make sense to teens &nbsp;these days. First of all, some Catholic schools instill fear of &nbsp;committing mortal sin even on sexual feelings. Why can’t they explain &nbsp;about raging hormones instead of judging their feelings? It’s a &nbsp;confusing time for teenagers. Most often, these high school girls turn &nbsp;to their girl classmates for relationships. How many girl-girl &nbsp;relationships are occuring in all girl schools? Often, the school turns a &nbsp;blind eye because these relationships won’t induce pregnancy. Secondly, &nbsp;our teens are exposed to sexual images in magazines, TV, movies and the &nbsp;internet.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;The issue of morality can be taught separately from sex education. &nbsp;Morality is taught in the Christian Living Education or its equivalent &nbsp;like Values Education.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<blockquote>God has a strong view of any kind of immorality, so we &nbsp;should try to err on the side of purity. For example, the apostle Paul &nbsp;said that the Church will be presented to Christ as a pure virgin bride: &nbsp;“<em>I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to &nbsp;one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to &nbsp;him</em>.”&nbsp;</blockquote>\n<p><img src=\"http://aboutmyrecovery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/sex-education-lectures.jpeg\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\"/></p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;My mother discussed sex openly with me when I was 15 years old. I &nbsp;knew the morality issue already and formed my own beliefs at that age. &nbsp;Mom didn’t have to go through the graphic details but what struck me was &nbsp;the responsibility of the sexual act. In the same manner, I discussed &nbsp;sex education with my two girls as “<em>are you ready to have children?</em>” &nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;When they blurted “<strong>NO WAY</strong>“, I added “<em>Then you should abstain until you are ready</em>“. My own definition of “readiness” is when one is married but I didn’t want to explicitly state that fact yet. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;I continued “<em>Don’t even believe your boyfriend when he says he has protection</em>“.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;They giggled. I gave a clear example of a family friend who got &nbsp;pregnant at the age of 18 because she thought she wouldn’t get pregnant &nbsp;at that age. Besides it was her first time. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Then I continued “<em>just one tiny drop contains millions of sperm to impregnate you. It takes only 1 sperm cell, mind you!</em>”&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Then I proceeded to explain how the second daughter and Luijoe were conceived …and…&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;“<em>ewww. I dont want to listen now</em>”&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;I explained condoms, birth control etc are not fool proof methods of birth control. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;We need to teach them responsible parenthood together with the sex &nbsp;education. We don’t need to teach everything but at least give them the &nbsp;basic facts. Along the way, the children can do some more research on &nbsp;their own.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Phillipine Catholic Bishops Oppose Sex-Ed in Schools, Say it Should be Left to Parents &nbsp;is true if all parents know how to discuss sex with their children. We &nbsp;can’t assume parents know how to discuss sex openly. Some might be &nbsp;uneducated to understand the anatomy of reproduction and thus fail to &nbsp;grasp natural birth control methods.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;The schools together with the parents can bridge the gap of sex education. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;If you are a parent, are you ready to tackle the topic of sex education with your children?&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"http://aboutmyrecovery.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/failing-sex-education.jpg\" width=\"482\" height=\"381\"/></p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",
