This article was about a man suffering with extreme allergies to his own semen. They had to give him allergy shots (of his own semen) to rid him of his nasty reactions to sex.

Thankfully, he responded well to therapy.

There are other inhibitions too, that I'd like to talk about: loss of libido, vaginal atrophy (where sex is painful), inpotence for men, etc.

In such a sex crazed society, it's amazing to me how relationships like these exist. I think this just goes to show that love is certainly just as an important factor in a relationship, because of these obstacles.

Could these things be a case of the planet naturally hemming back the human population, I mean this in a non-political way please.

This is a big planet and many people live here, maybe we are too many and people are developing sex problems as a way of cutting back?

Otherwise what would stop us?

At a very basic level, We Eat,Sleep,Sex. Without those three the human race could not continue. Or do you see it as something else?

Reproduction on a mass level.

Only so much space that is inhabitable, resources only go so far before being exhausted. or do you think it is something else?

People would not naturally give up sex, something has to make them, right? or what do you think?

Something has to eventually give right? or what is your conclusions?

On an Aries note, being confrontational and calling out BS right?

MBlake, it's possible sexual allergies are part of a bigger issue; nature scaling back reproduction, by thwarting fertility.

I wouldn't be surprised, at all.

I did not link it because a taurus going on a long detailed explanation is not everyone's cup of tea.

Let me say that it boiled down to AIDS being just another part of nature that is trying to cut us back.

Think about how many different kinds of diseases and types of sickness that plague the human body, The only thing that keeps nature from doing what IT IS trying to do is our brains figuring ways around it.

An operation of cutting open the chest to install stints in a person's heart was unheard of to a caveman.

It is AMAZING how we keep getting past something she throw's at us only to find a new disease, mental illness, sickness tomorrow.

Like cops and robbers, same premise. We get smart enough to beat one thing, then it gets wiser and we have to do it all over again, see?

I keep wondering what it is that is going to give, and how.

Hey you know staff infection is a good example of a smarter sickness, It comes from hospitals where humans go to get better.

It's just too bad that our technology did not increase at a rate fast enough to propell us to other planets or moons, and allow us greater range of resources and habitable lands (yeah, I like the idea of space )... the population will boom on this very small planet, especially in underdeveloped countries. We will not have enough resources to feed everyone.

Perhaps the planet does not want us growing ten times more, We have to do much just to support what we currently have.

I do not know if having a person or a person and his/her family on every square acre that can be inhabited is the goal or a good thing? (extreme example I know) but people have to keep spreading out to get away from other people.

Randall what is the reason for having all these people? Does it serve a function in your thoughts? What is the game plan here?

Is mankind truly removed from nature?

I agree with you Randall... there is a misallocation of resources, but HOW that will get "solved" seems impossible to me. Maybe I'm just jaded though

Certain countries are incredibly wasteful. Sharing wealth is not exactly something that people want to be forced into...

Ideas and perception's can be hard to break through to get to the other side, I hope that can be understood, It still is and most likely always will be for me too.

I will admit to using the "False Bridge Theory" in order to gain a hand-hold on an idea if its solid, Then a solid bridge can be made for understanding.

I do not support anti-human propaganda, though. While I can take it in humor, when crossed with people who are serious about it - not so much.

In reality, the population boom will happen in underdeveloped countries. It is a fact, that the U.S. relies on current populations to at least replace themselves through reproduction.

A decrease in population here would be a terrible thing - however, I've seen people compare American consumption into the equation...

Then there's the argument about how 1 American consumes more than 3 individuals in a underdeveloped country?

Ultimately, comparing individuals and lifestyles and casting judgment becomes a nasty subject, all around.

Wrinkle-busting Botox has long been used to rev up the sex lives of women who blame waning allure on facial lines and creases, but doctors now say the injections can help smooth problems below the belt as well.

The newest use for botulinum Toxin A, the active ingredient in drugs such as Botox or Dysport, is to help ease painful vaginal conditions that plague women with excruciating burning sensations or constrict their muscles so tightly that sex is all but impossible.

“Almost to a patient, they say it’s like hitting a brick wall,” said Dr. Peter T. Pacik, a New Hampshire plastic surgeon who is conducting an FDA-approved clinical trial testing the use of Botox on severe cases of vaginismus. “Most patients I treat are unable to consummate, unable to have a family.”

Such patients – perhaps as many as 6 percent of all women worldwide – suffer from what Pacik describes as a reflex reaction to sexual penetration that causes their muscles to spasm. The problem is often rooted in fear caused by sexual abuse or a rigid upbringing, but it becomes unmistakably physical.

“It’s uncontrollable and involuntary,” said Pacik, the author of “When Sex Seems Impossible: Stories of Vaginismus & How You Can Achieve Intimacy.”

To treat the problem, Pacik injects the muscles at the entrance of the vagina with Botox, which works as it does in the face, interrupting nerve impulses and allowing the muscles to relax.

“When I inject them, I put them asleep,” he said. “You would not be able to approach these people with a needle.”

When they wake up, the women find that they are relaxed enough to allow penetration and, soon, to have normal sex with their husbands or partners. Pacik has treated 78 patients so far and all but one have virtually been cured after a single session, he said.

His work was echoed this week by a new report in the journal Archives of Dermatologythat said a 26-year-old woman was cured of vulvodynia, an excruciating, persistent burning vaginal pain, with the use of botulinum Toxin A injections.

And it was confirmed by Patti Dyer, a 59-year-old Maine nurse who said she has suffered from vaginismus for more than 30 years. Despite having three children, all delivered by cesarean section, Dyer said sex has always been painful to the point of tears. She and her husband, Bill, toughed it out because of their love for each other, she said. But when she heard about Pacik’s work, she had to try it.

On Jan. 10, Dyer had the $6,300 Botox treatment. Within two weeks, she said, she and her husband were able to have sex for the first time in a dozen years. With a month, they were catching up on lost time.

“We’re like honeymooners,” she said. “This is so exciting. This is what it should have been 30 years ago.”

Dyer would recommend Botox down below to anyone suffering like she was. But when it comes to using the drug in her face, she draws the line.
