Sex:The Big "O" & The Big Difference:

A man usually needs about two or three minutes of stimulation to have an orgasm,a woman generally needs 10 times more. For a man,an orgasm is instinctive.For a woman,it happens only after direct stimulation of the clitoris. A man's climax usually lasts for 10-13 seconds.For a woman,it lasts 6-60 seconds. A man must recuperate after an orgasm but a woman can have repeated orgasms within minutes or in rapid succession. Wonder why a man rolls over and sleeps after? During sex,his body releases oxytocin,a hormone that induces drowsiness.A woman is more relaxed after sex,which is why she wants to talk or cuddle.

Men,women navigate differently:

Men and women solve spatial problems differently, with women having a tendency to use landmarks for navigation,says a study.Spatial problems are those in which the learner is unable to understand the concept of directions:up,down,left,right and so on.In one of the first research studies to assess gender differences in cognitive performance in non-human primates,experts compared normal female and male monkeys to see how they solve spatial problems. Researchers at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center,Atlanta,found the tendency to use landmarks for navigation was typical only of females.

Contraceptive patch raises clot risk:

Women who use a contraceptive patch appear to be more than twice as likely to develop a dangerous blood clot in their veints as thhose who use an oral contraceptive, new research shows. Alexdender M Walker and colleagues,from i3 Drug Safety in Auburndale, Massachusetts, note that it was not known if users of the patch system ran the same risk of stroke, heart attack and venous blood clots as users of oral contraceptives. They point out that the FDA changed the labelling for the patch contraceptive system in 2005 to warn of a possible increased risk of socalled "thrombotic events," because of a higher average circulating estrogen levels with the product.

Most US women face stroke risk

Nearly all American women are in danger of heart disease or stroke and should be more aggressive about lowering their risk-including asking their doctors about daily aspirin use,the American Heart Association said on Monday in new guidelines. It is the first time guidelines have urged all women to consider aspirin for preventing strokes, although specialists warn that it can cause ulcers and dangerous bleeding.They said it is probably not a good idea for young women with no big health problems."We do not want women to go to the drugstore and just start taking this themselves. It is critical that every woman talk to her doctor."Said Lori Mosca, director of preventive cardiology at New York Presbyterian Hospital and chair of the expert panel that wrote the guidelines.
