NEWS: Sex no longer a taboo subject at nursing homes

How sweet is this?!?!?

Sex no longer a taboo subject at nursing homes

By MARGARET STAFFORD, Associated Press Writer Margaret Stafford, Associated Press Writer – Mon Dec 22, 12:09 pm ET

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – When Kansas State University sent researchers into nursing homes to find out how the topic of sex was being addressed, they initially found silence.

"Nobody was talking about it; it was a really hush-hush subject," said Gayle Doll, director of the university's Center on Aging. "I guess it's hard enough for people to think about their parents having sex, let alone their grandparents."

In response, the researchers have produced seminars and training aids to encourage nursing home caregivers to discuss and accommodate sexual desires.

The effort brings Kansas into a national discussion that advocates say will only grow as baby boomers age and take their beliefs about sexual freedom and civil rights into the nation's nursing homes.

One of the first Kansas seminars was held at Schowalter Villa in Hesston, where many staff first reacted with, "We're going to talk about WHAT?" said Lillian Claassen, vice president of health services at the villa.

Claassen said residents' sexuality had always been a difficult subject for nursing homes and the Kansas State training affirmed her earlier efforts to address the topic.

"It wasn't like we hadn't cared for these needs in the past, but it was liberating to some folks to have an open discussion with university researchers," Claassen said. "It empowered people to think about how they could help folks."

Doll said the training focuses on explaining what sexuality means for older adults, identifying barriers to fulfilling the sexual needs, finding strategies to help residents and how to discern appropriate from inappropriate sexual behaviors.

Solutions can be as simple as providing "do not disturb" signs or making sure staffers don't barge into residents' rooms without knocking. Claassen said her nursing home provides a discreet room for residents and has staff work through possible scenarios they may encounter.

Sometimes, it's as simple as arranging a bed for someone who needs physical therapy in a way that also allows that patient to be with his or her companion, she said.

"My greatest interest is to promote dignity in a situation that can be very challenging," Claassen said. "We all need touch, kindness and companionship. We try to enable that in this setting, which can be very public but where there is still a need for privacy."

Sexuality doesn't always mean intercourse. Many lonely or depressed residents are simply looking for ways to relieve loneliness and depression, Doll said.

For example, she told of one resident who had asked for pornography but dropped the request when the staff started spending more time with him.

"The staff can help with the loneliness and need for connection that residents often have," Doll said. "Some sexual expressions that might be seen as inappropriate will go away when they simply get the attention they deserve."

When the need does include sexual activity, the issue becomes more difficult if one of the residents is suffering from dementia, advocates say. That can manifest itself in a resident making passes at a staff member.

Claassen said her staff is trained to respond politely and to understand that the impaired resident may be mistaking the staff member for a spouse or reacting as he or she has in the past, which is often more vivid than the present for those suffering from dementia.

If a resident with dementia becomes involved with another resident, the issue becomes determining if the sexual activity is consensual, said Robin Dessel, a national expert on dementia who is the director of memory care at Hebrew Home in Riverdale, N.Y.

Dessel said people with dementia, even those who can no longer speak, have wants and desires and the ability to express them. It takes a trained and educated staff to recognize if a sexual overture or relationship involves abuse or is borne of real need, she said.

Dessel said she has seen a growing awareness that the aging do not forfeit their rights as they become infirm, and that includes the right to express sexuality. She expects that trend to increase as baby boomers, with more liberal attitudes toward sex than their parents, continue to age.

"No matter what we see, even if someone needs total care or is incontinent, they still feel," Dessel said. "If there's a bonding with someone else, I think it's a time of celebration at that point that there's something left, something good and pleasurable for that person."

To meet that challenge, clinicians and providers need some standardized parameters to use to assess patients' consent, Dessel said.

The Kansas State researchers say federal guidelines should be developed to help nursing homes deal with sexuality in a positive way.

"Nursing homes are the second most regulated industry in the country, behind nuclear power plants," Doll said. "But none of those regulations address sexuality. So, consequently, no one knows how to handle it."

Think Sex, Sneeze More?
Sexual Thoughts, Orgasms Are Among the "Unusual Triggers of Sneezing," Doctors Report
By Miranda Hitti
WebMD Health News
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD

Dec. 19, 2008 -- Sure, you sneeze when you've got a cold. But some sneezes may happen just by thinking about sex or having an orgasm, British doctors report.

Mahmood Bhutta, a specialist in ear-nose-and-throat surgery at England's Wexham Park Hospital, writes of a colleague who once had a patient who "described uncontrollable fits of sneezing" immediately after having any sexual thought.

That patient, who was a middle-aged man, had no other symptoms. He said he'd had those sneezing fits immediately after thinking sexual thoughts throughout his adult life.

Bhutta and his colleague decided to do a little research, and they figured that since the condition might be embarrassing, it might not get reported -- except in Internet chat rooms.

So the researchers googled "sex, sneeze, OR sneezing" twice in 2007, and came up with reports by 17 people -- men and women -- who reported sneezing right after thinking sexual thoughts, and reports by three people of sneezing after orgasm.

Long before the Internet -- back in the 19th century -- there were reports of rare people who sneezed when sexually excited, but "there was no credible reason given for the phenomenon," Bhutta's team writes.

Bhutta's paper doesn't settle why some people sneeze when they think sexual thoughts or when they have an orgasm. But the researchers suggest that sexual thoughts or orgasm might trigger the body's subconscious nervous system, which could lead to sneezing in some people.

The report appears in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine.

NEWS: Sex toy thief gets probation

Sex toy thief gets probation

Jon Ostendorff

A former part-time pastor at a Haywood County church pleaded guilty on Monday to stealing a woman’s sex toy, a bottle of lubricant and a pair of her panties.

Superior Court Judge Marlene Hyatt sentenced Scott Gillis Murray, 48, of Murray Road, to two years probation on a four-month suspended prison term.
Murray resigned from his job at the New Covenant Church in Clyde in July after police charged him with stealing an “adult personal entertainment device.”
The owner of the device came home around 11 p.m. to find him in her house holding a plastic bag, Assistant District Attorney Jim Moore said during the hearing today. Murray broke his leg after jumping over her back porch while trying to escape, the prosecutor said.
He ditched the bag in woods near her house. He admitted the crimes to investigators the next day and they found her property after searching the area, Moore said.
The prosecutor said the victim did not want to come to the hearing.
“This has been, and still is, upsetting to her,” Moore said.
Murray said nothing other than answering the judge’s questions about his understanding of the plea deal.
The state dropped one charge and agreed to a guilty plea on the lesser charge breaking and entering. He had faced second-degree felony burglary, which could have meant an active prison sentence.
The judge found Murray had cooperated with investigators and accepted responsibility. She also found he had a good reputation in the community before the crime, had the support of his family and friends and that he had been through an alcohol treatment program.
She ordered that he continue his treatment and have no contact with the victim.
Murray's church work had included visiting people in hospitals and checking on members who hadn't been to church recently, New Covenant senior pastor Nick Honerkamp said after his arrest.
The church paid him a $500-a-month stipend to cover gas and other expenses, Honerkamp said.
Murray’s attorney, Bob Clark, told the court his client was sorry and was ready for his punishment.
“He accepts the fact that punishment has to come first before redemption,” he said.

Carnival Cancels CAHPA Cruise

Carnival Cancels CAHPA Cruise

By: Wendy Rossner

Posted: 12/04/2008

WOONSOCKET, R.I. – There are a million ways to get rejected: apply to college, send a friend request to that cute co-worker, try to secure a mortgage. But the Certified Adult Home Party Association certainly never expected to get a rejection from a cruise line.

Earlier this year, CAHPA reserved space with Carnival Cruise Lines for its February board meeting. Planning days packed with sun, fun, and educational seminars, more than 20 cabins had already been booked by association members.

When Carnival stopped responding to CAHPA's calls, the group's leadership didn't know what to make of it—until the cruise line canceled the reservations and refunded their money.

In a letter sent to Bobbi Nolan, CAHPA's secretary, a cruise line representative wrote, "We are a family cruise line and all of our onboard activities are set in a family-friendly atmosphere... Based on information that was gathered from your booking, it is our understanding that your group is comprised of clients requesting ‘adult-themed' activities and functions. The premise of your group is to attend private functions revolving around their specific interests and affiliation... Carnival Cruise Lines does not tolerate public nudity, fighting, or general lewd, inappropriate, or reckless behavior, as set forth in Carnival's ticket contract."

The cancellation—and the accompanying letter—incensed CAHPA President Rina Valan. "This is out-and-out discrimination and it's slanderous," she says, disputing Carnival's insinuations of nudity and lewd conduct. "We're businesspeople. We help support hundreds of thousands of women in America."

The association had chosen Carnival based on members' past positive experiences with the line. Valan says the group had even awarded Carnival cruises as prizes, booking as many as 1,700 rooms in recent years, and that she personally has spent approximately $50,000 with the carrier.

According to Valan, Carnival knew from the beginning the nature of the group. "They had all the info up front," she says, explaining that the group was small enough that all business would take place in the conference rooms that CAHPA had been coordinating with Carnival to schedule. Nor was there to be any signage in public areas, she says, because all communication would occur internally. Furthermore, Carnival's concerns should have been assuaged by CAHPA's roster of successful meetings—past events have been held at Marriott and Sheraton venues.

So, if other passengers wouldn't even be aware of CAHPA's presence on the ship, and major hotel chains have hosted the group, what exactly was the problem? Though the rejection letter stated that group was not being singled out, Valan is baffled about Carnival's claim that CAHPA had requested "adult-themed services."

She says, "We represent 100,000 families, let alone customers. We all do a lot of business, and, especially in this economy to assume about a business group that they'll be lewd or there will be public nudity..."

In response, CAHPA directed a letter of complaint to Carnival's president, and a representative from the cruise line's group sales department phoned Valan this morning, more than a week after CAHPA sent its missive. "Someone finally called us," she says. "I couldn't believe what I was hearing. [The Carnival rep] was just a robot going on about how they have been burned by groups in the past. ‘We looked on the website and we just got concerned.'"

During the call, the Carnival rep asked specifically what CAHPA planned to do in its meetings and what items it would be bringing on board for the event. Valan explained that the group is similar to a chamber of commerce—an argument that garnered no leeway from the cruise company. "This is legislative, this is networking, these are CEOs of large corporations, and you want to know what we're going to be bringing or discussing?" Valan says she asked. The rep maintained that Carnival asks similar questions of all groups, whatever their nature, a claim Valan doesn't buy.

Finally, Valan ended the call, explaining that CAHPA had rebooked after Carnival had rescinded the reservations. "You've cancelled our group. You've put us in an uproar," she told them. "We booked with another cruise line."

It was Norwegian Cruise Line that "welcomed us with open arms."

So the cruise and CAHPA's board meeting will go ahead, but the group is considering further action against Carnival. Valan says that, after the "terse" phone call, her attorney will be contacting the cruise line. What kind of restitution are they seeking? "An apology would have been nice," she says. "They wouldn't acknowledge that at all. They have no clue.

"We're not out to get anybody—we're trying to help women. It's always been our mission to help women, whether to help her get freedom or enhance her personal relationships or finances, especially in these times," Valan says. "We don't need another roadblock like this."

Carnival did not respond to our request for comment.

Mission to Re-Position

In a rut? That’s normal. By nature the human brain is designed to find the simplest and easiest way get things done. Once we find a position, time and technique that works – we tend to stick to it. But eventually we all get bored. But no worries, I have a cure!

Shake it up! Explore new positions. Keep in mind that any really good position has got to comfortable for your bodies, so you can maintain it. Look at the furniture in your home. Lean over the soft armrest of your over-stuffed love seat. A carpeted staircase can help eliminate any height differences that may get in your way. Keep a pile of pillows to tuck under knees, her belly or his back. Look around your home and you will find a wealth of possibilities and loads of soft spots where you can catch your partner by surprise! Stash lube and other sex supplies in your get-it-on locations. And for extra fun, don’t tell your partner about your new mission to re-position! Spontaneity is an absolute aphrodisiac. Leave ‘em wondering, “Who is this spontaneous, creative sexual beauty!?!”
