Hati-Hati Dengan Kutu Kelamin

Kutu tak hanya hinggap di rambut kepala. Makhluk kecil menjengkelkan itu juga suka hinggap di bagian tubuh lainnya yang ditumbuhi rambut seperti ketiak, janggut, dada termasuk rambut kemaluan. Kutu kelamin paling doyan hinggap di kemaluan remaja.



Kutu kelamin (Pediculosis pubis) atau sering disebut dengan kutu kepiting (crabs) adalah serangga parasit yang ditemukan terutama di daerah kemaluan atau alat kelamin manusia. Istilah kepiting diberikan karena tampilan mikroskopiknya yang menyerupai kepiting.

Kutu kelamin dapat mempengaruhi semua orang, namun tingkat tertinggi ditemukan pada remaja, biasanya pada remaja yang sudah aktif secara seksual, baik pria maupun wanita. Hal ini mungkin terjadi karena remaja kurang peduli dengan kebersihan kelamin, di seperti dilansir nlm.nih.gov, Kamis (22/12/2011).

Remaja dengan kutu kelamin sebaiknya juga harus memeriksakan diri untuk infeksi seksual lainnya, karena berdasarkan etiologi penyakit, infeksi kutu kelamin diklasifikasikan sebagai infeksi menular seksual (IMS).



Penularan biasanya terjadi selama aktivitas seksual. Namun, hal itu juga dapat terjadi melalui kontak fisik dengan objek yang terkontaminasi seperti toilet kursi, seprai dan selimut. Bahkan, beberapa wanita mendapatkan kutu kelamin ketika mencoba pakaian renang.

Berikut penyebab dan penularan kutu kelamin, seperti dilansir Emedicinehealth:

•Sumber infeksi kutu kelamin adalah kontak intim dengan orang yang terinfeksi
•Karena penularan terjadi selama hubungan intim, hubungan seksual yang sebenarnya tidak diperlukan untuk penyebaran kutu kelamin
•Kutu kelamin juga dapat ditularkan melalui kontak dengan barang-barang yang terkontaminasi seperti handuk, seprai atau pakaian.
•Kutu tidak melompat atau terbang, maka kontak sebenarnya diperlukan untuk transmisi. Seorang individu mungkin memperoleh infeksi karena tidur bersama atau dari handuk
•Kucing, anjing dan hewan peliharaan lainnya tidak terlibat dalam penyebaran kutu manusia

Gejala infeksi kutu kelamin:

•Gatal dan terbakar di daerah kemaluan
•Gatal dapat menyebar karena kutu kelamin bergerak ke daerah basah lain dari tubuh seperti ketiak
•Gatal akan memburuk pada malam hari
•Menggaruk intens dan lama dapat mengakibatkan kulit terluka dan dapat menjadi terinfeksi oleh bakteri
•Demam, terbakar ketika buang air keci atau keluarnya cairan kelamin.



Sedangkan tindakan perawatan yang dapat dilakukan untuk mengatasi infeksi kutu kelamin adalah:

•Mengeramasi rambut kemaluan dan wilayah sekitarnya sedikitnya selama 5 menit
•Bilas dengan baik
•Menyisir rambut kemaluan dengan sisir bergigi halus untuk menghilangkan telur
•Beberapa dokter menyarankan menggunting rambut kemaluan dengan pisau cukur listrik nonsharp untuk mengurangi jumlah kutu dan telur.

6 Trik Membuat Kecupan Super Fantastis

Semua ahli ciuman juga tahu, bahwa sebuah ciuman harus 'lebih' dari sekedar kecupan bibir ke bibir. "Mereka tidak perlu membayar saya untuk melakukan adegan ciuman dalam sebuah film karena alasan saya terjun ke dunia akting adalah karena wanita." demikian dikatakan Orlando Bloom atau "Menurut Saya, adegan ciuman dalam film adalah less is more.", kata Julia Robert. Sedemikian menariknya sensasi sebuah ciuman sehingga setiap orang akan
meninggalkan kesan terhadap setiap ciuman yang pernah mereka lakukan. Namun bagaimana dengan sensasi ciuman pertama? Berikut ini adalah Tips agar Anda bisa selalu merasakan sensasi di setiap ciuman seakan-akan merupakan ciuman pertama Anda:

1. Anggap Sang Kekasih Sebagai Orang Asing. Menurut beberapa penelitian Antropologi, orang asing dari suku lain dianggap memiliki energi seksual yang luar biasa. Jadi, saat ciuman, coba bayangkan bahwa ini pertama kalinya anda bertemu si dia.

2. Fokus Pada Kelebihan Kekasih Yang Mengagumkan.
Bila kagum dengan lekuk lehernya atau bentuk alis matanya, perbesarlah kekaguman ini sehingga ia tampak seperti orang yang benar-benar baru di mata Anda.

3. Keluar Dari Rutinitas.
Kadang para pasangan tercebur dalam rutinitas dalam bercinta. Bagaimana kalau mencoba cara-cara baru yang lebih 'berani'? Jangan takut gagal.

4. Belajar Dari Kucing.
Antonio Banderas menggunakan metode ini, untuk mempelajari bagaimana berkonsentrasi. Perhatikan bagaimana kucing melihat sesuatu. Perhatian binatang ini sangat terfokus pada satu benda yang membuatnya tertarik. Conteklah dengan menatap kekasih Anda dengan penuh konsentrasi seakan Anda kucing yang sedang menatap bola mainannya.

5. Dekatkan Tubuh dan Biarkan Perasaan Mengendalikannya.
Kuncinya adalah, dengan berdekatan Anda dapat merasakan kehangatan tubuhnya. Pura-puralah ada sesuatu dimatanya atau tanya pendapatnya tentang parfum Anda. Apapun alasannya dekatkan tubuh dengannya untuk memicu ciuman.

6. 'Tangkap' Matanya Saat Sedang Berdua.
Berdekatan, memberikan senyuman hangat, serta menatap matanya memberikan tanda bahwa kita ingin dicium. Kapan seorang pria ingin mencium pun, bisa dilihat dari matanya. Bila ia menatap ke mulut kita, berarti ia sudah siap.

4 Things to Know When Planning a Social Media Contest

Gonzalo E. Mon is a partner in the Advertising Law practice at Kelley Drye & Warren LLP. Read more on Kelley Drye's advertising blog, Ad Law Access, or keep up with the group on Facebook or Twitter.

Social media has revolutionized the way companies run sweepstakes, contests and promotions. Specifically, social tools have made it easy to accomplish things that weren't possible a few years ago. Maybe too easy.

Some companies forget that social media promotions are subject to various laws, special requirements and unique risks. Let's review four of the most important considerations before your company takes on a social media promotion.

---

1. Know Your Terminology

---

People often use the words "sweepstakes" and "contest" interchangeably, but the words refer to two different things. In general, a sweepstakes refers to a promotion in which prizes are awarded based on chance, whereas a contest awards prizes based on skill. However, don't assume that a promotion is skill-based just because it doesn't include a random drawing. Different regions and states have different definitions of what constitutes a skill, so it's not always easy to determine which side yours falls on.
Why does it matter? Sweepstakes and contests are subject to different sets of laws. The first step toward ensuring that you comply with the laws is determining exactly which ones apply.

---

2. Know the Laws

---

Most importantly, you can't require people to make a purchase or payment in order to enter a sweepstakes. In most cases, you can create a method of entry that involves paying money, as long as you also provide a free method of entry option. Ensure that both methods are treated equally, and that you clearly disclose the free option. Be careful — if you get this wrong, you could be in violation of criminal law.
You have more flexibility to require a purchase in a skills contest, but it's not easy. Remember that states define skill differently, so a promotion that qualifies as skill-based in one state may not qualify as skill-based in another. Moreover, some states prohibit purchase requirements altogether, even if winners were selected based on skill. If you intend to have a purchase requirement, you will have to exclude these states.
Most states require companies to make certain disclosures about their promotions. It's tempting to simply copy what another company has done recently, but it's dangerous to assume that another brand got it right, or that its disclosures apply to your plans. In addition to the disclosure requirements, keep in mind that some states may require companies to register, and even to post a bond, before they can launch certain promotions.
There's a lot to consider before you even begin to research other laws that involve promotions, privacy, intellectual property, tax, etc. If you're not an expert in this area, work with someone who is.

---

3. Know the Platform Rules

---

Some social media companies restrict the types of promotions you perform on their platforms. For example, the Facebook Promotions Guidelines state that a user can't award someone a contest entry simply for liking a page. Instead, users and brands must run promotions via apps on a Canvas Page or Page Tab. Facebook also requires companies to make various disclosures, and prohibits brands from notifying winners through Facebook. Check the guidelines for the complete requirements.
Google+ has taken a different approach to promotions. The Google+ Pages Contest and Promotion Policies state, "You may not run contests, sweepstakes, offers, coupons or other such promotions…directly on your Google+ Page." In other words, you can run a promotion on another site and include a link to it on your Google+ Page, but that's about it.
Twitter has guidelines too, but most are designed to prevent spamming. For example, Twitter asks that companies discourage people from creating multiple accounts, and from posting the same tweet repeatedly. For example, a brand that awarded a user who tweeted the same message the most times would likely be in violation.
Violating platform guidelines can get you kicked off the platform, so make sure you know these rules.

---

4. Know the Risks

---

Most of the social media promotions recently gone wrong have not failed due to broken laws or platform rules. Rather, companies failed to account for risks inherent to the social media space. Social media is interactive, but remember that the more control you turn over to consumers, the less you'll have.
Public voting produces some of the biggest problems. If you allow the public to determine a winner, you'll almost certainly have to watch for cheating. In some cases, cheating can be so extensive that it will derail your promotion. Indeed, some companies have spent countless hours trying to plug holes, respond to complaints and regain control of their promotions. It's fine to allow consumers some input, but don't give them complete control.
Cheating isn't the worst that can happen — lawsuits pose a big threat. For example, Quiznos ran a contest that asked people to create videos showing why their subs were better than Subway's. Then Subway sued Quiznos over some of the entries. Be careful what you ask customers to submit; if you encourage them to provide problematic content, you may not be able to distance yourself from that content later on.
Before you launch a promotion, spend some time thinking about possible setbacks, and take steps to plug potential holes before consumers exploit them. A little work up front can save you a lot of time, aggravation and legal fees later.
