carde kirkpatrick ask the sexpert This column, a weekly feature of the Emerald, is brought to you, by Planned Parenthood of Lane County as an educational effort. The writer is Carole Kirkpatrick, local psychologist in private prac tice. Send your questions to the Emerald, 300 EMU, P.O. Box 3159. Q. What are the effects of a male getting getting gonorrhea before puberty? In the 6th grade I had sexual encounters and then experienced burning upon urinat ing. I am now 18 and have never consulted a doctor. A. Since gonorrhea is the sec ond most common communicable disease in the U.S. (second only to the common cold), you might well suspect you had gonorrhea. However, it is very unlikely that you had gonorrhea if the burning sensation was your only symp tom. With gonorrhea in the male, you would also have had genital swel ling, a pus discharge. and possibly internal pain (as the infection spread to the bladder, prostate and kidneys). After the burning subsides, you can be left sterile because of the scarring of your urogenital tract. If untreated, one will continue to experience fever, pain, skin le sions, pus discharge, and even ar thritis. In severe untreated cases, death can result from complica tions too gory to detail here. So, you see, you had best check this out with a doctor, especially if you have continued to have any symp toms. See the student health center. Special note: Females are often without symptoms so you must not hesitate to seek medical atten tion if you have any questions. Q. I hate oral sex, but my boy friend would really like it. What should I do? A. First of all, it's O.K. to prefer not to do something sexually. But, given that many people do enjoy oral sex (60-80% of college educated people) there are ways to learn to like it if you are moti vated. The first principle is to take it slow. Don’t submerge for 20 mi nutes if the very thought of oral sex nauseates you. Get close briefly (like the navel, inner thigh). Gradually increase your time and proximity. Make some pleas ant associations (think of an ice cream cone, pickle, etc.). Or you can go all the way (so to speak) and actually apply some favorite substance (to the penis in this case). Chocolate syrup, pudding and whipped cream are old stand-bys. Good luck! Q. Does virginity have any rela tion to whether the “sex” is homosexual or heterosexual? I mean, if you've had homosexual sex, but no heterosexual sex, are you still a virgin? A. Since questions like these are largely semantic, I turn to my handy Webster's which tells me that a virgin is either a female ani mal or male who has not had sex Berg’s West now If you haven’t already got ten your ski equipment in shape for that first good snowfall, now’s the time! Come in and get set at the downhill ski headquarters — Berg's West. ual intercourse (this along with other inspiring words like unsul lied, pure, unused, etc.). Since in tercourse implies heterosexuality, the simple answer to your ques tion is yes, you are still a virgin. In some respects this question reminds me of all the high school females, who after having done it with fingers, vibrators and zu cchinis, wonder they still are vir gins! Technically, yes. Our society suffers from a pre-occupation with intact hymens and the question of their disposal. Many a "true" virgin is cha grined on her wedding not to pro duce the proverbial bloody sheets. (She probably lost it to her tricycle at 3). So don’t worry. r NATIONAL LAMPMNV ANIMAL IWU9I fltin ~ Miller Beer PRESENT / IT 50Y0IDO: GOING TO A TOGA FAk’JYI STEP ONE: Get a toga. QUESTION: How does one acquire a toga? The easiest way to get a toga is to borrow one. This is particularly simple if you are a Greek or if you happen to know a Greek. All Greeks own togas since they ate used for evenings at the Parthenon or visits to Xana phillipe’s house or just when one Greek drops over to another Greek’s house to split a cup of mead and a pita or two. Togas come in one size and will fit anybody including Siamese twins. If you are not a Greek or do not know a Greek, you can easily make your own toga. Here's how: 1. ) Take one bed sheet. If you do not own a sheet borrow a sheet from neighbor. Iell the neighbor you are going to show home movies; if you tell your neighbor you are going to make a toga, he or she might not loan you the sheet since one generally spills things on togas at toga parties. 2. ) Throw one end of the sheet over one shoulder and tuck the other end of the sheet between your legs. Tie the two ends together 3. ) Find the other two If you're still not sure how to have a good time with your toga, go see ANIMAL IMU9I loose ends. Almost all sheets have four comers. If you cannot find the other two ends or if your sheet does not have four corners, just tuck in anything you can find any place you can find to tuck. Cover all vital areas. This is a toga party NOT an orgy. Orgy instructions are sent to you through the mails in plain brown envelopes. 4.) Find a laurel wreath. Almost any drug store has a laurel wreath. Put it on your head. If you cannot find a lauiel wreath, a Christmas wreath will do. Tou now have a toga or a capoga, or laurel wreath, or as it is some times known, a hat. STEP TWO: Have some Miller Beer. STEP THREE: Attempt to dance with someone of the opposite sex. The presence of music is always helpful. (commercial: we’ve been forced to mention here that you should- play National Lampoon's Animal House soundtrack album because MC A Records is pac ing for part of this toga party manual) Keep an eye on your toga. Make sure it's holding together. Tou are not an exhibitionist 'tou're just a swell person out for a wild evening STEP FOUR: Enjoy yourself! . agatn.
