It seems that whenever I hear about people with tourettes they use swear words or abusive terms as the 'random noises'.
Is this not just a freudian slip ?

A close relative of mine has severe problems with her teeth. They are beginning to rot out of her mouth. Every two or three weeks, it's a root-canal or a tooth has to be pulled and a crown set in. Now her front teeth are breaking up all to pieces? What in blazes is going on here? Yes, she sees a dentist when she can afford it, and she flosses once a day and brushes 2 x's a day. I wish I could help her but I can't....help me help her please. Pretty soon she will probablly have to have false teeth in the front...!!

Currently taking cough medicine and Biaxin to treat a sinus infection, and to give me some relief of my cough at night. I've seen a doctor, and everything is going okay so far.

Except for the fact that I have a hoarse voice. I am drinking Tea with Honey, sucking on throat losanges. I am getting some relief. Anything else I can do?

What I mean by mental-only is no actual stimulation of erogenous zones at all. Just purely mental thoughts and images.
The-Clitoris.com has an article about that so I was just curious.
If you have had an orgasm like that what was it like comparatively.
Sorry if this question seems silly, that article just made me really curious.

This is something I heard during MIDDLE school. It was discussed by two guys at a lunch table. There names wher Justin and Mark. Mark was telling Justin that he had farted the day before 5 times and lost about 5 pounds. Is it actually true you can lose pounds from farting. Note- I ask for those who are willing to answer to please put more then yes or no. Like say why it's yes or no support your answer in other words. Those who give up well thought up answers will be greatly appeciated.

I want to get a piercing in my breast nipples or clit. Which one adds more sexual simulation. If you have one or either, what did it feel like when it was done. How does it feel now. Do you wish you didn't do it. When you got it done, where was it and were you in a room with other people or just the person doing it. Thanks. I am a female by the way!!

I can not have an orgasim. I've tried. It doesn't matter if i'm by myself or with my boyfriend. I get right to that point then all of a sudden I lose interest completely. I don't even ever really get turned on and I wonder if not being able to orgasim has something to do with it. I'm only 22 years old I feel like this should not be hapening. It's begun to really cause problems in my relationship. Does anyone have any suggestions? or should I just speak with my doctor about this? Thanks in advance!! =)
