Around 50% of sufferers report that their symptoms started close to a stressful period in their lives, such as a divorce, moving house, suddenly losing a job, or bereavement.

Many people believe that their IBS is caused by an allergy to specific foods, as eating a meal often triggers the symptoms.
According to the State University of New York in Albany: additionally, research published in the BMJ recently concluded that approaches such as Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and antidepressant drugs could be most helpful.

“When Charged with and Convicted of Murders, Should Life in Prison Actually Mean a Life Sentence?”

by Dawn Pugh

“When Charged with and Convicted of Murders, Should Life in Prison Actually Mean a Life Sentence?”

“Does a gangster life style deserve the kudos that it receives?”

“How would you feel if it were a member of your family that was murdered?”

Close family members of Manchester’s two most dangerous gangsters are seeking compensation from the police claiming their human rights have been breached by a crime fighting poster

When both were jailed for life following a six month trial in which nine other members of the gang were jailed. Greater Manchester Police marked their conviction with a billboard campaign across the city. See Billboard.

It showed the killers alongside pictures of how they could look when they are finally released from prison.

The posters thanked the public for coming forward with the evidence that convicted them.

Gangland shootings in Greater Manchester (also known as “Gun - Chester”) dropped by 92 % following the arrest and conviction of this infamous gang.

Civil rights group ‘Liberty’ is backing their legal action against Greater Manchester Police (GMP). It is understood a letter sent to the police by ‘Liberty’ says that the posters infringed the relatives’ privacy under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Last night GMP chief constable Peter Fahy said: “We appreciate that in all we do we have to consider the human rights of all and that a balancing exercise has to be carried out. In this case we were concerned with the ultimate human right - the right to life and this far outweighed any privacy rights.”

The Changing Terminology of Transvestites; Male to Female; Cross Dressers; M2f…

by Dawn Pugh

The Changing Terminology of Transvestites; Male to Female; Cross Dressers; M2f; Trannie; Female to Male; F2m…. The list goes on…Do we know enough about this subject?

Click here for a Cross dressing Guide. - Male to female.

Read this about achieving naturally ferm male breasts.

The term transvestism has undergone several changes of meaning since it was first used in the 1910s, and it is still used in a variety of senses.

The term transvestism (Originates from Latin, “across, over” and vestitus, “dressed”) to refer to the sexual interest in cross-dressing. The word is generally used to describe persons who habitually and voluntarily wear clothes of the opposite sex.

World War II had brought an end not only to most European research in the field of sexuality. In both Europe and North America transvestite behavior (both by male and female bodied persons) was until the 1960s seen as an expression of homosexuality or suppressed homosexual impulses.

Is a Real Orgasm by Asphyxiation Suicide or Self Harm?

by Dawn Pugh

Is a Real Orgasm by Asphyxiation Suicide or Self Harm?

Asphyxia (from Greek meaning ‘without pulse’, or ‘heartbeat’) is a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from being unable to breathe normally. An example of asphyxia is choking. Asphyxia causes generalized hypoxia, which primarily affects the tissues and organs.

Source: Wikipedia

A simple explanation is that lack of oxygen can cause lightheadedness, reducing inhibitions and enhancing the sexual experience. Masochistic and castration fantasies are common and other psychological factors also play a role.

In my opinion auto erotic asphyxiation is not suicide or self harm, but an impulse to experience a breathless orgasm. During this dangerous act of asphyxia death is commonly accidental. One researcher estimates there are at least 50 deaths annually nationwide and the victims are mostly young males.

Auto erotic asphyxiation came about (no pun intended) the observation of men when hung in execution they often displayed an erection and sometimes ejaculation occurred.

No doubt you have heard that on June 4, 2009, David Carradine was found dead in his room in central Bangkok, A police official said David was found hanging by a rope in the room’s closet and it was also reported that his body was found curled up in the wardrobe with a shoelace tied around his neck and genitals.

According to ex-wife Marina Anderson there was a dark and intense side to David. Previously in her divorce filing she had claimed that “It was the continuation of abhorrent and deviant sexual behavior which was potentially deadly.”

This is how I choose to remember David.

John Arthur David Carradine (December 8, 1936 – June 3, 2009) was an American actor best known for his work in the 1970s television series Kung Fu and more recently in the Kill Bill films. He appeared in more than 100 feature films and was nominated four times for a Golden Globe Award.

God bless and rest in peace.

My thoughts and respect are with his family and close friends.
