Why Children Who Live Without Dads Have Earlier Sex

Researchers have known for years that children raised without a dad at home tend to start having sex at a younger age than those that do. I guess it was assumed that the factors were environmental - that kids saw their single mom dating so they started dating earlier and things like that. But a new study from researchers at six major U.S. universities have called that assumption into question. This new study argues that earlier sex is best explained by genetics, and the same genetic disposition that leads to earlier sex also creates problems for men in marriages.

This seems just a little counter intuitive to me. The challenges in any family without a father present are far-reaching and the results of absentee fathers' leaving their families cross many behavioral spectra. In any case, the research is interesting, but I am not yet convinced that genetics plays the dominant role in children having sex sooner. A responsible, committed father makes a good difference in so many areas.

Child Sex Boom Fueled by Poverty ( Part 2 )

Earlier this year, the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crimes stated in its Global Report on Trafficking in Persons that 79 percent of all global trafficking is for sexual exploitation, one of the world's fastest-growing crimes. The report stated that the proportion of minors involved in the various forms of human-trafficking increased from about 15 percent to nearly 22 percent between 2003 and 2007. This past June, the Obama Administration expanded the U.S. watch list of countries suspected of not doing enough to combat human-trafficking, putting more than four dozen nations on notice that they might face sanctions if their records don’t improve.

ECPAT International’s recent report also warned that the number of children and young people trafficked within their own country is increasing. Such trafficking frequently involves movement from rural to urban areas or from one city or town to another without the need for travel documentation.

Purchasing sex, whether from children or adults, creates huge monetary incentives for human traffickers, according to Siddharth Kara, a board member of the Washington-based NGO “Free the Slaves” and author of the 2008 book “Sex Trafficking.” Even within the exploding slavery industry, which according to Kara generated $152.3 billion in revenues in 2007, trafficked sex workers are by far the most profitable of slaves.

It’s because of these huge revenues that destination countries often turn a blind eye to sex tourism. The International Labor Organization says it contributes as much as 14 percent of the gross domestic product of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand.

Child Sex Boom Fueled by Poverty ( Part 1 )

BANGKOK, Thailand — Narisaraporn Asipong, a matronly social worker at the “Mercy Center” shelter met 8-year-old Niran (a pseudonym) five years ago in Klong Toey, Bangkok’s largest concentration of slum communities.

“His step-father was beating him so he was scared to go home,” says Asipong, who has worked with street children for the last seven years. “He came with me to Mercy Center and I enrolled him in school.” A year later, Niran returned home because he missed his mother. “One day, I saw him on the streets again,” she says. “He looked very skinny and unhealthy.”

Asipong was not surprised when she heard that Niran was living with an older man who offered him food, money and video games in exchange for sexual favors. “There are groups of people who take advantage of children and sexually exploit them,” says Asipong. “The children get tricked easily because of promises of quick money.”

Niran told Asipong he was sick, and had HIV/AIDS. The United Nations estimates that 1 percent of Thailand's population is infected with the HIV virus — nearly three times the rate in the U.S. “When I last saw Niran in the hospital he told me that he wanted to be a good boy again,” says Asipong. On Aug. 22, 2009, Aspiong attended Niran’s cremation ceremony in Kanchanabuori, Thailand.

Niran was just one of the estimated 1.8 million children worldwide trapped in the multi-billion dollar commercial sex trade every year. Commercial sexual exploitation of children is booming according to a new global report, and governments are not doing enough to protect young people.

"The recent economic downturn is set to drive more vulnerable children and young people to be exploited by the global sex trade," says Carmen Madrinan, executive director of ECPAT International, the organization that authored the August 2009 report. "The indifference that sustains the criminality, greed and perverse demands of adults for sex with children and young people needs to end."

Increasing poverty in children’s countries of origin and smaller budgets for social services are two of the factors heightening children’s vulnerability. Deterioration of living conditions often compels young people to abandon school in order to contribute to the family income, putting them at risk of seeking livelihood options that lead to their being exploited, according to ECPAT International.

As a result of the current global downturn, hundreds of factories have closed in Thailand, leaving thousands of both Thai and non-Thai workers unemployed. Unemployment is rising at a rate of about 100,000 workers a month and may climb to 1.5 million by the end of the year.

“If you ask me, the government is not correcting the source of the problem,” says Asipong. “It’s just treating the symptoms. Poverty is a big contribution to the problem in Thailand, especially in the countryside. Whether parents or children, both have to struggle to survive.”

Street children and stateless children are extremely vulnerable to commercial sexual exploitation, says Amanda Bissex, UNICEF Thailand's Chief of Child Protection. "We need to improve law enforcement and the economic welfare of children," she says, "but we also need to address people's attitudes and create an environment where there is zero tolerance for abuse of children, whether in their home country or overseas."

Another Journalist Faces Lashing in Saudi Sex Scandal Fallout

A 36-year-old Saudi journalist remains in prison and faces 70 lashes for working at an unlicensed television station after two female reporters were pardoned by King Abdullah Monday for the same alleged offenses, a lawyer involved with the case said Tuesday.

Omar Felimban was charged with working for the Lebanese Broadcasting Corp., the Beirut-based satellite TV station known as LBC, after it had its license suspended for airing a racy show this summer, Sulaiman Al Jumeii, a Jeddah-based lawyer advocating on Felimban’s behalf, said.

According to widely-published reports, the main subject of the show, Mazen Abdul Jawad, a 32-year-old airline clerk, shocked the conservative kingdom by revealing the secrets of his sex life. During the broadcast, the divorced father of four told tales of sleeping with his neighbor at the age of 14, and picking up girls using the chatting functions of Bluetooth on his mobile phone. He also showed off some sex toys to the cameras.

Abdul Jawad denies he confessed to these acts and accuses LBC of editing the broadcast, according to his lawyer Al Jumeii.

A spokeswoman for LBC in Beirut declined to comment.

Abdul Jawad was sentenced to five years in jail and 1,000 lashes earlier this month. Three friends who appeared on the show with him got two-year terms and 300 lashes each. And LBC, which is owned by the Saudi billionaire investor Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, had its license from the Ministry of Culture and Information suspended and had to close down its offices in Riyadh and Jeddah in August because of the show.

The television station is also facing a lawsuit filed at the Ministry of Culture and Information by Abdul Jawad for allegedly deceiving him during the tapings. “All the producers and executives involved in making the show have fled the country, and the only ones facing penalties are the participants and the journalists who were coordinators at the station,” Al Jumeii said.

The Ministry of Culture and Information is investigating Abdul Jawad’s claims, its spokesman Abdulrahman Al-Hazza said. It has also taken over the cases of the two female journalists from the courts and will examine if any laws were broken.

Representatives for the women could not be reached for comment.

The female journalists could be banned from the profession, pay a fine or go to prison, but they will not face lashings, Al Jumeii said. He said he presented the case of Felimban to the Minister of Culture and Information on Tuesday and was assured the case would be transferred from the courts to the ministry soon.

The VIBRATOR - Not Just for HER

Vibrators only for the ladies? I don't think so. As it turns out, men are getting it on with the very popular sex toy far more famously than we ever thought. Recent research out of Indiana University indicates that the vibrator is not necessarily a guy's competition in the bedroom.

Truth be told, this popular vibrating device is his guilty pleasure, too. So what exactly did researchers uncover about this unspoken aspect of his pleasuring? And what are the benefits being reaped by both him and her when it comes to incorporating this third-party?

Sex therapists, sex educators, and physicians have long advised experimenting with vibrators to help people overcome a sexual disorder. The gadget has also been strongly recommended to improve a person’s or couple’s sexual pleasuring and satisfaction.

Yet to date, the vibrator has been largely cast as the female’s other significant other. Much of this is due to women unabashedly touting its ability to catapult her into her first orgasm or first multiple orgasms experience. Men, on the other hand, have been mum on the issue of vibrator use, seemingly uninterested beyond the competition it posed — that is until they were asked...

As reported in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, researchers at Indiana University’s Center for Sexual Health Promotion probed the matter of his and her vibrator use with two studies. In making no mistakes about the results, they went large-scale, with one study relying on nationally representative sample of 1,047 men, while the other involved 2,056 women.

Findings from the research demonstrated that a couple's vibrator use during sex play is common, with about 45 percent of men and 53 percent of women, ages 18 to 60, reporting such. The study focusing on men specifically found that 10 percent had used a vibrator in the last month, while over 14 percent had in the past year and over 20 percent over a year ago.

Both studies found, too, that using a vibrator is associated with more positive sexual functioning. Males reporting recent vibrator use were likelier to rate themselves higher when it came to sexual desire, erectile function, intercourse satisfaction and orgasmic function.

The studies further correlated vibrator use with an individual being more proactive in attending to one’s sexual health. Those reporting use, especially recent use, were likelier to report actively taking care of their sexual health, for example, conducting a testicular self-exam.

Equally interesting was the finding that challenged the stereotype that only gay or bisexual men use the sex toy. Researchers found no statistical difference when it came to one’s sexual orientation and prevalence. Heterosexual men did, however, most commonly report vibrator use during foreplay or intercourse with their partner.

When it came to the ladies, researchers learned that almost one in four had pleasured themselves with a vibrator in the last month. The studies users, in general, were:

— Much more likely to have had a gynecological exam in the past year.

— Significantly more likely to have performed a genital self-exam in the past month.

These gals also scored higher on survey items related to positive sexual functioning, like sexual excitement, desire, lubrication, orgasm and overall function.

Such findings complement a vibrator use study conducted by The Berman Center, which found that using this sex toy is actually good for you. Regardless of relationship status or age, vibrator use was associated with improved sexual function. Those using the gadget had greater sexual interest and desire. They also experienced better arousal, easier and more frequent climax, and less pain during and after sex.

Not surprisingly, these women experienced higher levels of sexual satisfaction, as well as heightened quality of life!

Researchers at The Berman Center further found that almost 60 percent of the women in relationships reported vibrator use compared to over one-third of single gals. Two-thirds of partners were also found to be in support of using a vibe.

Women also reported trying a vibrator mostly out of curiosity. Guy or gal, hopefully this article turned on yours!

P.S. Boost your sexual health by eating lots of Vitamin C and Vitamin D rich diets.
