ask the sexpert
In talking to other men and in
observation, I notice there are
two kinds of penises. It seems
that some are short and wrin
kled and become longer and
harder with erection and others
are long to begin with and only
get harder. What causes this
difference? Is it environment or
heredity?
Your observations are very
astute. Although variation in
size and shape is the rule for all
parts of the human body, varia
tion in penis size is greater when
flaccid than when erect. Thus a
penis which is shorter when
flaccid will tend to grow longer
in proportion to its length than a
penis which is already longer to
begin with.

The size and shape of the
penis is determined during the
period during the third and
fourth months of pregnancy. To
lay to rest a popular miscon
ception, penis size is not related
to a man’s build, race, virility or
ability to give or receive sexual
satisfaction.
I heard that air in the vagina
can be fatal. During oral sex, is
there any danger of air getting
into the vagina and causing
problems?
Air blown into the vagina can
be fatal, but only if the woman is
pregnant. This could happen if
air blown into the vagina enters
the blood vessels lining the
uterus. An air bubble may then

reach the woman s brain, caus
ing a fatal air embolism. Deaths
have occurred this way alth
ough this is rare. For this rea
son, pregnant women are ad
vised against douching with a
bulb syringe.
Ordinarily this is not a con
cern for the non-pregnant
woman. But if air is blown into
the vagina under fairly high
pressure, there is the possibility
of air reaching the abdominal
cavity via the uterus and Fal
lopian tubes. This could cause
discomfort, since air is not nor
mally present in the abdominal
cavity. Obviously under no cir
cumstances (including oral or
genital sex) should air be forced
into the vagina.
Collectives have trouble
in transition, panel says
Collectives and co-ops in
Eugene are in a stage of transi
tion, a member of a panel on
"collectivism” said Wednesday.
Twelve representatives from
area collectives and co-ops dis
cussed ideologies, problems
and the future of their organiza
tions.
"The hardship of working in a
co-op or collective is the transi
tion, ” said Erik Ackerson of
Willamette People’s Food Co
op. ‘‘The transition between
seeing them (co-ops) as they
exist now and how they can
ideally exist.”
Willamette People’s Co-op
faced one too many of those
hardships, with financial prob
lems forcing its closure a few
weeks ago. Financial problems
are common in collectives and
co-ops, but they don’t mean a
bleak future for those types of
organizations, one panel
member said.
IMM
“I think it’s healthy that some
co-ops are folding,” D'Averil
Ibbotson of Starflower Collec
tive said. The energy and re
sources of the original co-op
can then be put into the com
munity in another form, she
said.
“The current state of collec
tivism in Eugene is healthy,”
Ibbotson said.
The definition of collectivism,
which includes both collectives
and co-ops, is “individuals
coming together to work as a
cohesive group," said Alan
Siporin of Grower’s Market.
“Members of collectives just
want to make a living, a decent
profit and not rip off the peo
ple,” said Mitzi McMullen of
Solstice Bakery. Some advan
tages of collectives are flexible
hours, learning different
aspects of a business through
job rotation and having a say in
how the business should work.
Collectives, especially in the
Eugene area, “evolved from the
natural, anti-pollution
movement of our environment
and our bodies,” said Lisa Rein
of Surrata. “That’s why collec
tivism is generally structured
around food.”
Rein said of the 25 collectives
in Eugene, 11 are centered
around food.
Other aspects of collectivism
discussed were legal implica
tions of incorporating co-ops in
Oregon, possibilities of forming
a "collective of collectives” and
ways to encourage more people
to participate in the collective
movement.
If the present state of collec
tives doesn’t quite match the
ideal of the "perfect collective,”
Ackerson said it’s not their fault.
‘‘The problems is not with
collectives; they're the answer.”
he said. “The problem is with
society.”
