Fruit or contraceptive?

While sitting in class the other day, one of my teachers noted that there was a study that Lemon juice may be used as a contraceptive and may cure AIDS. This is kind of a big deal, so after doing some research, I thought I would share this with everyone.

First thing I found out... A high concentration of lemon juice has been found to kill the HIV virus and sperm in laboratory settings. This is important because it means that this is NOT proven in humans, so please use a condom and protect yourself from pregnancy and HIV. It is interesting that when this story came out (in 2002), there was actually a lot of media coverage. While it is revolutionary in that it has shown to kill the HIV virus, why is it 6 years later and there are not huge campaigns stating: "Drink lemonade! Cure HIV!" Obviously there were some problems with this study.

Apparently, lemons were used as a contraceptive in the Mediterranean for hundreds of years before condoms were invented. The researcher of this study, Robert Short of Melbourne University in Australia, said that "I'm a great believer in history. People would not have used it for 300 or 400 years if it did not work." He also went on to talk about how women in his lab said that the lemon juice was not uncomfortable. He suggests that this could be revolutionary because it is cheap to grow fruit and this could help developing countries. Obviously, six years later we still don't use lemon juice as a contraceptive or HIV cure, so we should be suspicious about his information.

As a response, "Julian Meldrum of the London-based National AIDS Manual [said]: 'The basic principle that acids such as lemon juice can inactivate both sperm and HIV has been known for some years.' But although lemon juice was used historically as a contraceptive, 'it is unknown how much damage this did both directly to the vagina and the interior of the cervix and uterus, and indirectly, through effects on microbes in the vagina.'"

After looking at the legitimacy of this research, I would recommend keeping food as an aphrodisiac, or just using it to keep sex fun and yummy, let's leave the contraceptives to the Trojans, not the Aussies.

Give Thanks

In spite of the Thanksgiving season, Turned On wants to give give give!

We want to hear back from you guys to see what you like/don't like and what else we can do for you!
Over the weekend while the snow was falling down in Ann Arbor, MI, the folks at Turned On was keeping it hot and steamy thinking of new ideas for students for the winter. Here are some things that you can look forward to after Thanksgiving and this winter on your favorite campus sex show, Turned On!

Sexercise- The sexperts at Turned On will be showing you a very sexy way to workout just the right muscles you need to make every night with your lady/man friend a special and unforgettable one. You can probably learn a few new skills too. Who knows?- Maybe working out your buns and kegels at the same time will allow you to pick up some hotties at the CCRB! Look for the crew of Turned On at the CCRB early next week to watch us "get physical".

Speed Dating- Last episode Turned On focused on how to pick up those hotties and what NOT to do when trying to get a girl. I hope everyone took good notes because Turned On wants to give back to YOU GUYS- with a speed dating event! How fun/(hilarious maybe?) would it be to participate in our speed dating event. With the crew of Turned On right there, (and maybe some of us speeding dating as well) how could you say no? So keep watching for more news about our speed dating event!

Aphrodisiacs- With the wonderful turkey day coming up next week- our sexperts Diana, Matt and Bob will be talking about what they are thankful for and some serious aphrodisiacs that can help turn anyone on. Now we do not swear that these foods will get you laid, but we can, however, promise that it will be fun to try. Tune into Turned On this week to get a list of interesting aphrodisiacs and sexy foods for the Thanksgiving season.

Eat/Drink with the Crew of Turned On!- We were thinking of not only giving back to you guys by offering the best sex/dating advice that we know and answering your questions on air but we also want to meet you! Let's say you can walk into one of the local campus hotspots to see your favorite Turned On member there! How about seeing all of them together? Turned On will plan an event where we all decide to hang out at somewhere (like Cantina?) for the night so our fans can come in, have a margarita or burrito and talk sex with your campus sexperts.... how sexy!

If you have any other suggestions on how Turned On can give back- (we are so thoughtful) then comment on the blog or write us at wolvturnedon@umich.edu. We love hearing from our sexy fans!

Remember just because the snow is falling doesn't mean you guys can't stay hot- keep working those moves and keep watching Turned On to get the most out of your winter here in Ann Arbor.

Happy Sex-ing!

HALLOWEEN

Hey everyone hope your all getting excited for Halloween!

It's always been one of my favorite holidays. As a little kid you get as much candy as you can carry and as a college student you can still get a lot of sugar if you know how to play the night...

So here are a few tips (if you missed them from this weeks show) to guarantee a spooky and sexy Halloween

1. Dress the Part--- Pick a costume thats going to show you off. Guy's if you've been hitting the gym recently dress up as a caveman or body builder or something to show off those guns, or if you've just grown your first mustache be Ron Burgundy. Girls it goes without saying if your trying to get guys attention, LESS IS MORE. Obviously don't go out naked but show a little skin, the more promiscuous you dress the more likely it is for a guy to approach you.

2. Be a little aggressive--- Everyone is out to have a good time so put yourself out there a little bit. Maybe go and introduce yourself to someone you normally wouldn't have the confidence to normally. Maybe you've always had a crush on that really cute girl in your spanish class, well nows your chance. Think about it even if she turns you down you're in a costume and can totally pretend it wasn't you the next day.

3. Try a little role play?--- Come on everyone... If you're already in a costume why not try it. If you have a long time parter or brand new friend mess around a little. Its a fun way to spice things up in the bedroom and do all the things you always thought about and could never pull off. Join the mile high club with a super cute flight attendant or maybe have that plumber take care of that problem you have...

4. Have fun--- Halloween is basically just about having fun so go out with your friends be safe and make some memories good or regrettable. AND YES!! Remember everyone this is one of the few times a year where you can actually say dude or girlfriend (whatever the girl equivalent to dude is) I had no idea thats what he looked like!!! He was in costume. So lower your standards a little??? Just kidding but have a good time!

Hope everyone has a great Halloween and please watch our show next week same time same channel.

National Coming Out Week

Yesterday (Saturday, October 11th) was National Coming Out day, so I thought I would share some fun gay history and facts.

The rainbow flag that we all associate with gays started to have significance with the LGBT community in 1978. The colors are used to represent diversity within the community, and is normally flown with red on top. Red signifies life, orange is healing, yellow is sunlight, green is nature, blue is harmony and purple is spirit.

Purple is another gay community symbol, with a very different meaning. Normally seen as a pink upside down triangle, this was a symbol used to identify homosexual men in Nazi concentration camps. The Holocaust was not just about jews, but many gays were deported as well. An upside down black triangle was used specifically for women who were lesbians, or not the ideal image of a woman. Many times these two are combined to form the color purple and purple triangles.

There are references of homo eroticism dating back to 12,000 BC! The first gay couple was thought to be Khumhotep and Niankhknum in Egypt during the 25th century BC, with the first Lesbian being from Lesbos in the 6th century BC. Looking at the current debate of gay marriage, the first recorded and legal gay marriages were performed in the 1st century BC. One marriage was even gave one man the same honors as Julius Caesar's wife. In fact, it is believed that Caesar himself was involved in a gay love affair!

Some other quick facts:

It was not until the 1920's that the term gay was actually used to refer to homosexuals.

In 1973, the APA removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders.

Did you know... in many countries in Africa and the middle East, homosexuality is illegal which is punishable by large penalties, life in prison, and sometimes even the death penalty.

Here on Michigan's campus, there are very open and liberal gay and straight communities.

Martha's Wiener

One of our new field correspondents, Diana Rosenbach sent me an article about the Martha Stewart Show last week.

"The always primp and proper Martha Stewart dedicated an entire episode of her daytime
show this week to everything Hot Dog related.

The Martha Stewart Show featured all kinds of hot dogs and toppings.

They even had a special 15-foot hot dog created by Empire National in Brooklyn that was
hand delivered to Martha's studio.

And showing you can never be too proper, Ms. Stewart added, "For those of you who don't
think length matters, I disagree ? especially when it comes to wieners."

How saucy, Martha!

"There's just never enough bites in a hot dog," she added."
Thank you Perez Hilton!





I guess size does matter... thanks Martha!

See you all Tuesday at 10:00!

Welcome Back Sexy Students!

Hello All!

As September is coming to an end new things are starting in our lives... Football season, hour long lines at Ricks, BTB, a new semester of classes and of course, a new season of Turned On!

I hope many of you guys that are fans to this blog (I think we have 2 people right now) all tuned into the show last Tuesday. The new and improved season of Turned On premiered with a very successful half hour episode and the introduction of some new sexperts.

Matt Plonsker, a sophomore cancer who enjoys playing The Sims online and some Billy Holiday is our new sexpert and co-host. Matt is replacing the very sexy and experienced Justin Kushner but don't worry folks, Matt's has first-hand experiences with nights at Studio, penis-enlargers and missing football games for underage sorority girls, so he will be great for this show.

Bob Thorson is also a new addition to the Turned On studio. Although Bob's specialties are STD's and anal sex, he is clean as a whistle... well we'll see about that. Bob's professionalism and sex knowledge is exactly what this season needs and I can't wait to hear Bob say "cum" again next week.

Turned On still has our amazing director Andrew Jones and head field correspondent Sara Kuzminski.

If you are interested in joining the Turned On family please contact TurnedOn08@umich.edu.

Remember folks, we are a public service for YOU, the students of University of Michigan. We, your loyal sexperts, are here to help you get into that freshman's girls pants, stop being embarrassed to masturbate and find out what the bump really is on your penis.
