ask the sexpert Q: Is it normal fora heterosexual 22-year-old male to be totally sexually uninvolved with women? Is there a way to break this behavior pattern? A: Sexual activity varies from person to person. What is nor mal for one person might not be normal for another. Usually, in our culture, by the time a male is 22 years old, he has exper ienced some form of dating, kissing, hugging or sexual ac tivity. Without knowing more about the situation, it is difficult to decide what might be con tibuting to the lack of invol vement. Since the question in dicates dissatisfaction and a desire to change, some form of counseling might be very help ful. Planned Parenthood offers free counseling by appointment. Maybe coun seling would be helpful in ex ploring feelings and looking at ways of breaking this pattern of behavior. Q: Can sleeping on a heated waterbed affect my BBI (basal V, Bibliophile It!

A: Sleeping on a heated wa terbed should not affect your internal temperature. If you are using the temperature method (BBI) by itself and are con cerned about pregnancy, you might want to combine that method with the calendar method and the mucus method of birth control (all are con sidered “natural methods” of birth control). Furthermore, us ing foam and condoms during your fertile days will also in crease the effectiveness of rhythm. Q: Do you have medical ser vices at Planned Parenthood or are you just educational? A: Planned Parenthood has a broad range of services both educational and medical. Some of our medical services include annual gynecological exams, pregnancy testing, pap smears and lab work, treatments for STD (sexually-transmitted dis eases) and vaginal infections, plus dispensing of birth control methods: pills, IUD insertions and removals, and diaphragm fittings. Patients may also pur chase non-prescription meth ods too: diaphragm jelly, foam, condoms and vaginal supposi tories. Q: Sometimes when I've had an appointment with my gyn ecologist, I’ve had to postpone it because of my period. Why can't women have exams while they’re menstruating? A: Your gynecologist sug gested you postpone your exam until you are no longer on your period because lab tests are clearest and more accuate when no red blood cells are present. If a woman is bleeding heavily, tests may not pick up causal factors. For example, the bacterium which cause a vaginal infection. Also, if a pa tient is menstruating, it is more difficult for a doctor to see the cervix during the internal exam. A gonorrhea check, on the other hand, can be performed when a woman in menstruating; it is even a good time to do so because these bacterium grow well in blood and more easily detected in a blood culture.

Observers note that Isham might not object to re-locating under such a plan — if the move meant transferring from Salem to Washington D C. Others want to take Marion County out of the Second Con gressional District (which would force Republican Denny Smith to move if he wants to retain the seat he recently wrested from Al Ullman). And, says one legisla tor, "I’m sure if that were the case, Senate President Fred Heard would have tremendous interest in that seat.” Additionally, there is precedent for court-ordered, state-wide congressional elec tions, with candidates running for at-large positions should the legislature fail to draw up a plan — a grim prospect for Oregon’s Democrats since Republicans currently hold five of the six state-wide offices. Myers, a self-proclaimed reapportionment expert, is put ting his money on the Democrats’ ability to hammer out a plan. Yet he’s sure the matter won’t end there. r 1 Prepare for GRE LSAT GMAT Workshops for all exams given this term. Call the Learning Resources Center for schedule information. 686-3226
