bbc: The roots of the modern sex education film go back a long way. Early examples were deeply moral movies made in the shadows of war, where young military men were warned about the dangers of loose women, and how venereal disease would ruin them.

This stark and unpleasant tale is a bit more Shakespeare than sex education.

Made in 1917 to prevent Canadian soldiers travelling to World War I catching syphilis and other sexually-transmitted diseases, it tells the story of Dick, a plucky soldier in London.

We see Dick accosted by a prostitute in the street. As they talk another Canadian intervenes and warns Dick away from the woman, giving him the card of a doctor he can visit.

The doctor takes our hero on a tour of hospital wards where he sees the lesions and other unpleasant symptoms that syphilis can cause. Dick realises the ladies of the night are not for him.

But back in Canada, it is revealed that Dick's brother Tom has not been so lucky. The film shows a flashback of Tom being robbed by a prostitute and it becomes apparent that Tom's wife has caught syphilis from him.

Tom is cured of the disease, but when his wife gives birth, the baby is blind.

"The film - as the biblical title suggests - is essentially a straight sermon, a form that its target audience would have found familiar both from church at home and during their military service," says Bryony Dixon, curator of silent films at the BFI.

at: Statistics show the difference between the attitudes of men and women toward masturbation. In the study 59 percent of men said they masturbated once a week to once a day, and 29 percent of women said they masturbated once every few months to every few weeks. Twenty-nine percent of women said they never masturbated.

Although some people view masturbation negatively, many experts agree masturbation could be beneficial for sexual, mental and even general health.

It seems that the only potential ill effects of masturbation come from negative emotions associated with engaging in it, such as guilt, shame and spiritual conflict resulting from the persistent cultural stigma that surrounds this behavior.”

am: Ah, doggie style... the position most animals use to get it on, humans being no exception. As one of men's and women's favorite sexual position, doggie style has been a welcome addition to people's sex lives for ages.Whether you're a fan of the anal or vaginal canal, sex from behind can provide for some of the best sex you'll ever have. And contrary to popular opinion, women enjoy this position just as much as men do.

Today's tip is going to add a little gusto to the rear-entry position. If you weren't yet aware of it, something as simple as moving her leg slightly or angling your penis differently can turn your "bend over" into a roller coaster ride of orgasms.

The original rear-entry position involves the woman on all fours and the man (that would be you) behind her on his knees, holding onto her hips as he penetrates her.

mustang: Foreplay is an integral part of any sexual experience. According to a lecture in "Lifespan Sexuality," the excitement phase, or the stage synonymous with foreplay, is one of the longest f four phases of the human sexual response cycle.

Arousal occurs from both physical and visual stimulation, from activities such as touching, being touched, dry humping, oral sex, or even just an active imagination and good visual of your partner's ass.

With an adequate amount of warming up, not only will your body actually heat up temperature-wise, but there will also be other physical responses.

A woman's vagina will start lubricating and become larger and more elastic, and a male will gain a full erection. Both sexes often have erect nipples, a faster heart rate, and quicker breathing during this stage.

rl: Movies, porn, music, fashion, and glossy magazines fixate on the sexualized woman.

All that advice on how to be more attractive, how to give great blow jobs, and how to be good in bed, sexuality and sexual pleasure are still defined on male terms.

Sex is over when the man ejaculates; blow jobs are less gross than “carpet munching;” and sexually experienced men are virile, whereas experienced women are sluts.

Under such slanted expectations and double standards, women are seen not as autonomous sexual actors but as passive sexual objects.

By objectifying women and defining them by their chosen sexual activity, pop culture conflates sexual acts with the entirety of sexuality.

rl: Uncle Max's Agony Column

Dear Max: I'm a female college student and a feminist. I expect equal pay, equal treatment, and fairness when it comes to chores at home. But I have fantasies of domestic discipline.

Some days, I'd like to rush home and clean the apartment and make dinner for my boyfriend wearing only an apron.

Then I'd appreciate it if he'd find some excuse—something I did wrong—to spank me until I cry before having wild sex with me.

My guy, being open-minded, would be up for this. But how on earth do I set effective boundaries?

How can you be taken seriously as an equal when you tell your boyfriend that you'd like him to dominate you outside the bedroom (the cooking and cleaning aspect) on occasion?

I want this to be a periodic, not a consistent, dynamic. It's totally unrealistic to pretend to be Betty Crocker all the time. - Clara

Dear Clara: Get a necklace or a bracelet, sweetie. One you wear only when you want the boyfriend to take charge. You decide when that bracelet or necklace goes on, and you decide when it comes off—which puts you in control, paradoxically, of your own submission.

When you're wearing it, of course, you're Betty Crocker (whoever she is), and the boyfriend has your consent to order you about, spank your ass, and fuck you senseless.

When it's off, you're equals. Easy!
