The National Health Service in London is now prescribing vibrators for women suffering from sexual problems. The NHS states that 50% of all women suffer from some type of sexual problem, ranging from general lack of desire to severe genital deformity. The NHS will be working with Sh!, an erotic boutique for women. The medical use of vibrators started in 1883, although it is still controversial, and most medical experts have apparently never even seen a vibrator. According to research done by the Ann Summers sex shop, one in three women now owns a vibrator.

German Teens Know Nothing about Sex

A new study issued by the Munich Institute for Youth Research, which questioned more than 5000 youngsters aged 12 to 16 about their sexual knowledge, found that 20 % of German teens think tampons are a form of contraception. Eight percent thought the pill was either taken once a month or right before sex. Why the low scores? Most German teens are afraid to ask questions about sex. Want to hear something worse? The boys did worse than the girls.

Is Nasal Spray the New Viagra?

A new nasal spray called PT-141 works directly on the brain's arousal centre. This gives hope to all of those women who suffer from female sexual dysfunction—especially since for many women, it's lack of libido (not physiological difficulties, like what Viagra works on) that causes problems. The only thing not sexy about PT-141 is the fact that you have to shove it up your nose. Researchers hope to have it out in two or three years.


The Teen Girls of World Com

The flaccid, money-losing, chapter-11-filing World Com Inc. received a court order last week from Pennsylvania's attorney general ordering it to thwart access to five alleged child pornography sites. It seems that several teen sites had been accessed via the telecom giant. The sites named in the original action were: www.teen-teen.biz, love.xloli.com, lusty.xloli.com, free.bigout.com/gallery.html, and girlsroom.tuportal.com/two/html. To legally satisfy the state's top policing agency, the company tracked down the hosting providers and asked them to stop users from accessing the sites. Because of the Internet's architecture, it would be technologically unfeasible to block Internet access only for people living in one state, World Com said, so access was denied for a time to all WorldCom users in the United States. World Com's quick actions were applauded by the state, and World Com seems to be out of hot water for once.
