The actual Science of Adult toy Phthalates Screening

In response to a recent media scare about levels of phthalates in sex toys, my blog does its own hi-tech lab testing to bring you the safest sex toys!Further to a scare in 2001 over levels of phthalates in sex toys, a recent Greenpeace Netherlands report has brought attention back to the issue. The earlier scare had its effects - in 2005 the EU banned the use of the phthalate DEHP in children's toys, forcing toy manufacturers to develop alternatives - and the more recent Greenpeace research shows that many sex toys still carry high levels of phthalates.We've done our own research, both before (in our sex toys and phthalates buyer's guide - which links to other scientific research giving a more balanced view of the dangers of phthalates) and since the Greenpeace report.While the existing legislation only applies to toys and childcare articles which children are likely to hold in their mouths for long periods of time, we want our customers to be as confident as possible about buying sex toys, so we sent one of our most popular toys to a lab to have it tested for phthalates.So what did we send? Tracey Cox's Supersex Mini Rabbit Vibrator, which we've long considered the best mini-rabbit vibrator ever made: we even made a vibrator video about it!But even we hadn't put it through the kind of wringer it was put through by the laboratory test, which involved chopping up different parts of the toy, weighing them (using at least 5g of each part), then .

. Guidance would have helped her understand the importance of not presenting her own sexual choices in a way that her daughters hear them as an ideal they’re expected to meet, and which, if they don’t, they will need to keep secret from her so as not to disappoint her.

Doing sex education and sexual communication better also involves thinking about and leaving lots of room for how things are different for other people than they have been or are for us, or than we may perceive them to be for others. These differences are not just based on what nation someone lives in, but on things like gender, sexual orientation, embodiment, ethnicity, economic class, our smaller communities, and generational divides. It involves cultivating an awareness of our own double-standards, blind spots, and limited views, and working to expand those views and the behaviors and words that can stem from them. It also involves learning to listen to young people and to respond to what they’re really saying, not just what we want to hear or what they say that supports what we want to think or believe.

Im sorry to say that, overall, I found that the film failed to do this well. In failing to examine these difference, the film not only doesn’t show the how to communicate about sexuality well, but may eveninadvertently enable some of the ways people do so poorly.

No one lives in a vacuum, and we don’t all live in the Netherlands. Excellent teachers here have lost their jobs trying to provide quality sex education. Sex education for youth as a whole has a shortage of male educators in large part because it’s not uncommon for them to find themselves accused of having ulterior motives; some of us who provide it here as women are often presented as slattern. The young man in the Netherlands who feels comfortable displaying his collection of 170 condoms and his family live in a different place than a mother who, in 2001 in Baraboo, Wisconsin, gave her teenage son, who had become sexually active with his also-teenage girlfriend, access to condoms. When her son, acting responsibly, sought to get tested for STIs, she found herself facing criminal charges for providing him those condoms. Ive heard from progressive parents over the years who have gotten all manner of hell from their own families or communities for doing what Id consider very right by their teens around sex and sexuality.

By all means, those kinds of outcomes are not what happens all the time, but they add more reasons for adults to feel very afraid of communicating to young people well about sex, and to take the kind of approaches validly applauded in the film.

Parents and other allies cant change our cultural environment just by talking to teens, and our environment can create real barriers to that communication. So, it’s not just parents, churches, or schools who have to radically change; it’s our whole culture. Where we’re at with all of this right now isn’t something that happened because of media and the Internet or parents over the last decade or two. It’s something we’ve been cultivating since before the United States was established, with only a few brief times in history where we seemed to make some positive headway, only to lose ground again. For sure, it’s all a bit chicken and egg, but in this case, both have huge impacts.

It’s acknowledged in the film that talking about sex isn’t easy for parents. It also isn’t easy for teens to do with partners or other adults, or even with each other. It’s not easy for anyone, really, for all the reasons I’ve mentioned and more. I have talked with teens about sex and sexuality almost every day for over a decade, and you’re still never going to.

erapy for AIS is based on three pillars:

The first step is reinforcing the sexual identity of the subject with the help of psychologists. In cases of sexual ambiguity and determination of female gender, the second step is to perform a gonadectomy (removal of testicles), as they may become cancerous. Finally, it is necessary to administer hormone replacement therapy in case the subject is assigned the female sex. The prognosis of these patients is good if the testicles are timely removed, professor Mendoza states.

The Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome Guideline for physicians and patients is available at the web site of the Biomedical Research Network of Rare Diseases (CIBERER) www.ciberer.es, the Spanish Association of Human Genetics www.aegh.org and the research group on cancer in patients with polymalformation genetic syndromes (www.ct-csgp.org).
