This chapter reflects the position on the Child Support Act as it was in autumn 1994. However, important concessions were made by the government in December 1994 and early in 1995. Briefly, these changes were, first, that action would be deferred on certain categories of cases (where parents had not co-operated or supplied enough information, […]

Manual Sex on Women
Many men (and women too) do not know exactly what to do with the female genitals. What feels good? Rubbing? Can rubbing hurt? Can anything break? When does a woman like to have her clitoris touched? Where do women like to be touched? Men and women who worry about these questions may become overly cautious […]

NGO responses
In many countries in the Asian region the first cases of AIDS were reported in the mid-1980s. It was non-governmental organisations (NGOs) or community-based organisations (CBOs) which responded to this issue quickly. These organisations were established by and for vulnerable people or groups such as sex workers, IDUs and MSM. They worked to educate and […]

Battles within Families
The Faulks case involves contestation over professional medical care, much of which took place outside the patient’s home. It also involves competition between the claims of a foster son and those of the doctor that provided the care. What happens then when legal adversaries are members of the same family and when care occurs mainly […]
Hormonal Correlates
The enthusiasm for a hormonal direct-drive model for sexuality is reflected in many studies that imply benefits from estrogen replacement therapy (HRT). In biological models of menopause, sexual functioning should be closely associated with changes in reproductive hormones—estradiol (a form of estrogen), progestin, or androstenedione (a form of testosterone). Most, if not all, of the […]

One such program was through Vermont-based Project Harmony, which aims to promote community partnerships and provides hands-on training for law enforcement officials. With funding from the U. S. State Department’s Bureau for International Narcotics and […]
Foreplay: The Prelude?
It is interesting to consider how people define “foreplay.” Is foreplay all of the sexual behaviors that take place before sexual intercourse? What if sexual intercourse doesn’t occur? For the majority of heterosexuals, foreplay is often defined as everything that happens before vaginal penetration (touching, kissing, massage, oral sex, etc.). It has been viewed as […]
The significance of contexts
The first analytical line to draw from this case is that it illustrates well what happens when social contexts become mixed. By social context I here mean more or less institutionalised frames that contain not only certain types of practices but also—as a consequence of this—certain ways of thinking. I have elsewhere discussed the term […]
