True Or False Game Save the Children True or False Game 1 Introduction. Ask the participants to form a circle. Then read this aloud: Today we are going to talk about fertility facts for girls and for boys and clear up common misconceptions. Select two locations about ten meters apart. Tell the participants that one location is called “TRUE” 2 and the other is called “FALSE.” In between those locations, is “NOT SURE” Read these instructions: I am going to read a statement. Then for each statement I read, you will 'vote 3 with your feet.' This means that if you think it is true, move to the true location. If you think it is false, move to the false location. Then I will ask for a few volunteers to explain why they think it is true or false. Statement 1: If a girl misses her period, this could mean she is pregnant. Answer: TRUE. It is called the menstrual cycle because it repeats continuously, except during pregnancy, until menopause. Periods do stop during pregnancy. This is the most common reason for a missed period. However, it is common, especially for girls, not to have a regular cycle because it is not yet settled. Periods may also stop for some time due to hormonal reasons or environmental reasons. Talk to a health worker to find out more information on this. Statement 2: Most boys have wet dreams during puberty. Answer: TRUE. A wet dream (or nocturnal emission) is when a boy's penis becomes erect, and he ejaculates while sleeping. This causes the boy's underwear or the bed to be a little wet when he wakes up. If a boy does not know about wet dreams, he could be worried or confused. Wet dreams are completely natural and normal. A boy cannot stop himself from having wet dreams. Statement 3: When a girl is menstruating, she should not put salt on food. Answer: FALSE. It is very safe for a girl to put salt on relish or other food while she is menstruating. It is also safe for her to cook food, and for her to wash herself. She should wash herself with soap and water, outside of the body. Good hygiene, including washing daily with soap and water, is very important for both girls and boys. Statement 4: A girl should not go to school when she is menstruating. Answer: FALSE. A girl should go to school when she is menstruating. She should use a clean cloth or sanitary pad to manage her menstruation. Many schools may have special toilets for girls to use when menstruating so they can change the cloth or pad when it is needed. If she is nervous, she should talk to a teacher she trusts or a mother group member. Statement 5: A girl can get pregnant once her menstruation starts. Answer: TRUE. When a girl starts having menstrual periods it means that her reproductive organs have begun working and that she can become pregnant if she has sexual intercourse. It does NOT mean that her body is ready to carry a baby or that she is mentally ready to be a mother. It does NOT mean that she is ready for sex. Statement 6: Feelings of attraction do not need to be acted upon. Answer: TRUE. During puberty, it is normal to become mentally and physically more attracted to the opposite sex, to get strong feelings toward someone and to feel more sexual. Having these feelings is normal. However, these feelings do not need to be acted upon. Boys and girls can Save the Children learn to control their feelings. It's helpful for young people to play sports, focus on studies or do other activities to keep them busy and realize their own goals. Statement 7: Physically showing that you like someone can be done in many different ways. Answer: TRUE. It is normal during puberty to become mentally and physically attracted to those of the opposite sex. Boys and girls may want to show their affections towards someone. This can be expressed by talking together, helping each other with schoolwork, writing letters or poems, offering to help out, and/or through hugs. Just make sure you do not do anything that you are not ready for. Statement 8: Having unprotected sex in the water means that you will not get pregnant. Answer: FALSE. You can become pregnant if you have sex in the water. You can also become pregnant if you wash immediately after having sex. Discussion. Ask the participants to come together and form a circle. Then ask them these 4 questions. Allow time for group members to think about and discuss their responses. Make sure that both males and females respond. ?Are some of the TRUE statements I just read things that people in your village believe are FALSE? Which ones? Which of the true statements above are believed to be false by people in your village? ? ?Are some of the FALSE statements I just read things that people in your village believe are TRUE? Which ones? Which of the FALSE statements above are believed to be TRUE by people in your village? ?What advice would you give to someone who believed something was true, that you know is not true? 5 Closing. Read this out loud to the group: Being aware of your bodies and the changes happening is nothing shameful. In fact it helps girls and boys become more in control and make healthy decisions. Feeling attracted to a person of the opposite sex is normal. It only means your body is getting ready for the future. You should wait to have sex until you are mature and responsible for the consequences of having sex. 6 Commitment. Read this out loud: I would like to ask each one of you to make a commitment. Describe one way you will use to correct misinformation that you hear about fertility, menstruation, and growing up. .

POIS can occur either after intercourse or masturbation, starting seconds to hours after having an orgasm, and can be lasted to 2 - 7 days. The prevalence and incidence of POIS itself are not certainly known. Reviews: Waldinger and colleagues were the first to report cases of POIS and later in establishing the diagnosis, they proposed 5 preliminary diagnostic criteria, also known as Waldinger's Preliminary Diagnostic Criteria (WPDC). Symptoms can vary from somatic to psychological complaints. The mechanism underlying this disease are not clear. Immune modulated mechanism is one of the hypothesis that is widely believed to be the cause of this syndrome apart from opioid withdrawal and disordered cytokine or neuroendocrine responses. POIS treatment is also not standardized. Treatments includeintra lymphatic hyposensitization of autologous semen, non-steroid anti-inflamation drugs (NSAIDs), steroids such as Prednisone, antihistamines, benzodiazepines, hormones (hCG and Testosterone), alpha-blockers, and other adjuvant medications.

  • 1 Men's Sexual Health and Traditional Healing Systems in Urban Slum
    Men’s Sexual Health and Traditional Healing Systems in Urban Slum Communities of Mumbai, India Abdelwahed Mekki-Berrada (PhD), Stephen L. Schensul (PhD) Sharad S. Narvekar (MD), Ravi K. Verma (PhD), Niranjan Saggurti (PhD) INTRODUCTION The India subcontinent has been a crossroad of language, religion, culture, trade and movement over many centuries and the size and social complexity of current boundaries of the nation of India, as carved out by colonial independence, make it no less a crossroad in this new millennium. Of the many aspects that have intrigued scholars in this dynamic mix of humanity, medicine and healing has received a significant amount of attention. India was and is a laboratory for the exploration of a variety of theories and approaches to humankind’s physical and emotional ills. The ancient traditions of ayurveda and the closely related siddha , which made its way to many countries in the region with the Indian Diaspora; yunani , brought by conquering Muslims from the Middle East, allopathy brought and established by the English Raj through its military, missionaries, and colonial rule; homeopathy, brought by German physicians; and the current increasingly popularity of yoga derived from eastern Buddhist religion and culture, and many other more localized medical and spiritual traditions characterized by itinerant healers, village dokturs , and family practices. All these traditions and practices constitute the medical and healing “pluralism” of India (Leslie 1992, 1976; Trawick 1992). A central question for those who have studied Indian health care systems is how these alternatives exist side-by-side and how are they utilized, in general and in terms of specific health problems.

While taking into account the thousands of years of halakhic development that have led to modern stances on porn and masturbation, this teshuvah explores how modern psychological and social studies might present a different picture on how to adhere to Jewish values of health, relationships, and connection with God. We are compelled to combine wisdom from past teachers with up-to-date research to make informed halakhic decisions that respond to the needs of modern-day Jewry. This teshuvah hopes to provide guidance for the coming generations on how to develop a spiritual and health-conscious relationship to their sexuality, specifically around the use of pornography. She’elah: May the Modern Jew Consume Porn & Erotica? As long as pornography has been available, society has been uneasy with its use, and that uneasiness pervades America today even as pornography consumption continues to rise. A 2013 study reported that 12% of Americans admit to consuming online porn and that the numbers are growing yearly (Pew Research Center).

Several heterogeneous dysfunctions belong to this group and may be of either psychogenic or organic origin. 2. CLASSIFICATION AND AETIOLOGY 2.1 Anejaculation Anejaculation is the complete absence of antegrade or retrograde ejaculation. It is caused by failure of emission of semen from the prostate and seminal ducts into the urethra [1]. True anejaculation is usually associated with a normal orgasmic sensation. Occasionally, for example in incomplete spinal cord injuries, this sensation may be altered or decreased. True anejaculation is always connected with central or peripheral nervous system dysfunctions or influence of drugs [2] (Table 1). Table 1. Aetiology of anejaculation Neural Drug-related Spinal cord injury Antihypertensives Cauda equina lesions Antipsychotics Retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy Antidepressants Aortoiliac surgery Alcohol Colorectal surgery Multiple sclerosis Parkinson’s disease Autonomic neuropathy (juvenile diabetes) 2.2 Anorgasmia Anorgasmia is the inability to reach orgasm.

  • Amniotic Sac – a Tissue Which Encases the Embryo and Fills with Fluid at Two Weeks
    Healthy Family Tool Kit “Life Begins” VOCABULARY Amniotic sac – a tissue which encases the embryo and fills with fluid at two weeks. This “bag of waters” surrounds the unborn baby and is a natural shock absorber protecting the baby. Anus – digestive system external opening Birth canal – the passageway through which the unborn baby passes during birth Breast – tissue on the ribs that produce milk in the female after she gives birth Chromosomes – patterns of DNA which provide information to build living things. Each cell in the human body contains 46 chromosomes except the male sperm cell and the female egg cell with 23 each, which when joined together contain information to build a complete individual. Conception – union of the sperm and the egg. Contractions – muscular movement of the uterus during labor DNA – chemical containing the code to build life, arranged into chromosomes Delivery – birth of a baby Egg cell – female sex cell; it contains one-half of the patterns for a human life (23 chromosomes) Fallopian tubes – a pair of tube-like structures that pick up an egg cell after ovulation and conduct it toward the uterus. It is the area in which conception is most likely to occur. Fertilization – union of sperm and egg Hormones – chemical messengers that influence changes in the body. Labor – time of changes occurring in the pregnant female that prepare her body for childbirth Menstruation – the shedding of the soft, nest-like tissue lining of the uterus caused by the lack of implantation of a fertilized egg. This is a regular monthly occurrence for most females.
