The G Spot Produces Nitric Oxide

While I'm sure having scientific evidence for the G spot will reassure all those women who previously thought they were imagining their orgasms, what I really found interesting was this.

The elusive G spot really does exist, say researchers The Guardian

The research supports a previous study by the team which reported differences in the chemical make-up of the G spot tissues. Women who appear to have a G spot produced specific chemicals, including an enzyme that processes nitric oxide, the substance that triggers male erections.

That's a wonderful piece of biological feedback. Stimulating the G spot produces chemicals that trigger and (I presume) help maintain male erections. You gotta love nature.

The other interesting tidbit from the article (which goes a long way in explaining why it was a controversy in the first place) is that not only is this an easily recognizable area in the vagina, but some women have it, and some don't. So a quick examination can determine whether or not you are capable of having G spot orgasms.

(The article is safe for work, unless you count the gratuitous picture of Meg Ryan pretending to have an orgasm. I bet she just loves that picture.)

Both. But never mind the bread.

That's what Pooh said when Rabbit asked him if he wanted honey or butter with his bread. The right answer for eating perhaps (or not, if you recall what happened to Pooh next), but it turns out that for burns, one should stick to just the honey.


Honey Can Soothe a Burn New York Times

In studies of quick and easy treatments to soothe mild burns, scientists have found that honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that may promote healing. One study in 2006, examining results of more than a dozen previous studies, found that small, nonserious burns healed faster when treated with gauze and a dash of honey, on average, than those treated with antibiotic creams and other dressings. A separate report published earlier found similar results.

Butter, on the other hand, can lead to infections.
