...cannot be underestimated. According to the US Public Health Service, over 33,000 Americans become infected with an STI each day. At least one in four Americans will contract an STI some time in their lives. Some viral STIs including genital herpes and genital warts can be transmitted via skin-to-skin contact, and are incurable. In up to 75 percent of individuals infected with chlamydia (the most common STI on college campuses), gonorrhea, and/or other bacterial infection, symptoms never appear. However, if left untreated, these infection often lead to complications such as sterility, cervical cancer, and/or pelvic inflammatory disease...
...lubricant, and instructions on proper condom use, and are restocked weekly. We encourage students to utilize this resource if they choose to engage in sexual activity, but warm that condoms are only effective if used correctly, and do not provide sufficient protection from certain STIs which are spread through skin-to-skin contact...
Merizzi claims that estrogen causes cellulite by trapping fat underneath the skin. Cellasene supposedly boosts metabolism and circulation, thereby unlocking the trapped fat. Wrong, says Dr. Michael Rosenbaum, an obesity expert at Columbia University who co-authored an authoritative study of the anatomy of cellulite that was published last June in a peer-reviewed journal. There is no difference in blood flow in tissue with cellulite and tissue without it. And if estrogen caused cellulite, Rosenbaum notes, it would disappear at menopause...
...connective tissue that separates a woman's muscles from her skin is shaped like a honeycomb and allows even small amounts of fat to dimple out, whether she's fat or thin. (A man's connective tissue stretches over the fatty layer more tautly, keeping it smooth.) Losing weight, working out and plastic surgery can help reduce cellulite. But they can't change the underlying structure of a woman's body. And neither can Cellasene. So here's a modest proposal: perhaps it's our attitudes about skin texture that ought to change...
...photograph of his close friend Nicole Bouban (pictured) is the most visually compelling portrait displayed. Reclining on a pillow whose filigreed embroideries of butterflies merge with the platinum waves of her hair, Bouban's marmoreal face achieves the vacuity of expression associated with mannequins or dolls. Her smooth skin seems carved out of soap. But Wols's depiction is more than a trite objectification of a woman's face. Though she is reclining, this is not an image of repose. He effects the same response as that engendered in his self-portraits: the image is impossible to penetrate. Aside from...
