What do you really know about oral contraceptives?
the pill breaking down
Susie Santee, Lawrence sophomore,
had been taking the birth control pill
for about a year and a half before the
unexpected conception of her son. She
was taking Ortho-35, what she knew
as the most average dosage among
women. Everyone was basically on the
samething,shesays.Whensheaskedthe
doctor about the surprising pregnancy,
hesimplyreplied,Ithappens.
The birth control pill is the most
common method of contraceptive
used among women ages 15-29 in
the U.S., according to statistics from
the National Center for Health. Most
women choose the pill because its a
methodthatis98-99percenteffective
inpreventingpregnancy.
Unfortunately, the accuracy rate is
only true with theperfect use of the
pilltakingthepillconsistentlyevery
day of the week, every week, at the
sametimeeachday. Withtypicaluseof
thepillforayear, itseffectivenessrate
falls to 92 percent, according to the
MayoClinic, anot-for-proftfoundation
for medical research. This means that,
on average, instead of the one or two
personsin100gettingpregnant, eight
outof100womenwillgetpregnant.
Contraceptive consistency
Its important to take the pill at the
same time every day to assure its 99
percenteffciency, saysCarolynJohnson,
gynecologistatWatkinsMemorialHealth
Center, 1200SchweglerDrive. Forgetting
to take the pill and then taking a
higher dose later can affect hormone
levels, increasing
the possibility of
pregnancy. If you let
your hormone levels
drop way down,
your ovaries will start
working again, she
says.
Womencanalsouse
the pill as emergency
contraception by
taking more pills at a
time within 72 hours
afterintercourse.Using
thismethod, sevenoutofeightwomen
who would normally conceive during
a sexual encounter wouldnt, Johnson
says. However, this method usually
requires the usage of four pills that
arentsupposedtobeusedduringthose
days. If using the pill as an emergency
contraceptive, contact a pharmacist to
get more pills and resume taking pills
onschedule.
How it works
Therearetwobasicbirthcontrolpills
onthemarket. Thecombinationpillis
themostcommonformofthepilland
releases both estrogen and progestin
into the bloodstream. The mini pill,
containsonlyprogestin. Bothofthese
pills stop the ovaries from producing
and releasing new eggs, basically
stoppingovulationcompletely.
There is also a seasonal oral
contraceptive that is similar to the
combination pill, but it is taken in
three-month cycles to give women
a menstrual period only four times
a year. The failure rates for all three
pills are between 1 and 2 percent,
which accounts for the percentage
effectiveness on the package for the
pill, according to the U.S. Food and
DrugAdministration.
Side effects
Along with an imposing a risk of
pregnancy, birth control pill usage
includes possible side effects that
mightaffecttheconsistencyoftaking
the pill. Many women blame the
pill for weight gain, nausea, breast
tendernessandmoodchanges.
While are associated with the pill,
they are not as common as women
claim they are. If you take 1,000
womenandputthemonthepilland
take another 1,000 off the pill, the
same amount of women will gain
weight, Johnsonsays.
Finding the right pill for you is
important. Itmaytakeawhiletomatch
the right pill to the right woman.
Watkins pharmacy
alone carries almost
60 different types of
birthcontrolpills.
Itsverytrialanderror,
Johnsonsays.Everyone
has prescribing habits,
but we generally start
with the low-cost pills
unlesstheyhavespecial
needs.
Ifawomandecidesto
switch pills because of
sideeffects,sheneedsto
switch without skipping a pill and make
sure the new pill doesnt confict with
othermedicationstoensureeffciency.
Can men take the pill?
Therehavebeenmanyresearchstudies
done to fnd out if men can take some
typeofbirthcontrolpill, relievingwomen
ofsomeresponsibilityforpregnancy. No
conclusive pill has been created yet.
Thisisbecauseacontraceptivepillformen

Itwouldhavetoworkinatransient

Mynetherregionisnothappy.
She is scared and on display
andnotlooking forwardtowhats
abouttohappen.
Im scared too. Im waiting
on a table with a small hand
towel barely concealing my girl
parts. From the waist up, Im fully
dressed. Iactuallylooklike Icould
be going to work Im wearing
a green button down shirt and
a white cardigan but Im in a
salon, horizontal, waiting to be
stripped of all my pubic hair. The
woman Ive entrusted to do this,
Alex, left the room
for me to take
off my pants and
underwear so Im
just lying on the
table, staring atthe
ceiling, wondering
what Ive gotten
myself into.
I have never had any waxing
Brazilian or otherwise so
leaving such a delicate area in
the hands of a stranger makes
me nervous. I clutch the sides of
the table for support. Alex comes
overtomyside, stirsthe soy-based
wax and prepares the strips. She
moves calmly, and as we talk, her
soothing voice slows my racing
heart. Inlinenpantsandfip fops,
she exudes comfort. Just as I stop
freaking out, Alexpositionsalamp
overmyvagina, looking atthe job
before her.
Do you want to remove
everything or leave a little, she
asks.
I contemplate my options. If
Im getting a wax, I might as well
have herremove everything. Some
people opt for shapes, but having
apatchof pubichairinthe shape
of aheartorastarseemssilly. And
the landing strip, made famous
in Playboy, which leaves a vertical
strip of hair, justdoesntseemright
either.
Take italloff, Isay.
And thus begins one of the
most painful experiences of my
life.
You cant tell from our
conversation that Im battling
extreme anguish. Do you go to
school here? What is your major?
Howoldare you?
As I discuss my December
graduation and
plans to enter the
magazine world,
Alexhasmeposition
my legs inthe shape
of the number four.
My left legis straight
and my right leg
bends andtouches my left knee.
She starts by my leg sockets. I
hadnt considered that this was
the least sensitive spot to wax
and that it would only get worse.
Alexappliesthe waxitiswarm
and feels good. Mid-conversation,
before I realize whats happening,
she pullsoff the waxstrip.
OK. Nottoobad, Ithinktomyself.
Icandothis.
After she strips sections, Alex
usestweezerstoremove anystray
hairs. Then she gently applies tea
treeoil.Thenaturalantiseptichelps
prevent bumps and infections
fromhaving openhairfollicles.
Our conversation about East
coastversusWestcoastandliving
inEurope almostdistractsme from
whatisgoing ondownbelow. Lest
Iforget, mynewfriendisstaring at
myvaginathe entire time.
Sofar, the painisntbadandthe
situation of exposing my private
parts to someone Ive known fve
minutes isnt awkward. I think of
her like a gynecologist she has
looked between the legs of so
manywomenthatshesusedtoit.
For nearly 30 minutes, Alex
effciently and thoroughly strips
away my pubic hair. Sometimes
the little pricks dont hurt. But as
she movesclosertowardmylabia,
the pain becomes more intense.
Sometimes it hurts so bad I have
fashbacks to the waxing scene in
The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Sometimes
I have to pause the conversation
whenshe ripsoff myhairbecause I
cantthinkaboutanything butthe
pain. And sometimes, my whole
lowerhalf joltsafewinchesoff the
table inshock.
Oh no, my vagina is certainly
nothappy.
But for some reason, women
endure the painof Brazilianwaxing,
some as often as every four to six
weeks, in order to be hair-free. The
Brazilian wax differs from other
waxing, like bikini waxing, because
it also removes hair from your ass
crack. And as much as youre gonna
say youdont have hair there, face it.
You do.
The technique originated in
you guessed it Brazil. Womens
bathingsuitswerebecomingmore
revealing in the 70s (think thong
bottoms) and the standard bikini
waxwasntcutting itanymore.
Brazilianwaxesdidntreallyfnd
a following in the United States
until the early 90s. They didnt
become popular until recently
thanks to celebrities, including
Scarlett Johannson, Gywneth
Paltrow and characters on Sex
& the City. The frst American Pie
movie even has a scene where
one of the characters is so turned
onbyseeing hisfrstBrazilianwax
that cant maintain control of his
bodilyfunctions.
Before you make an
appointment with a waxer, its
important to go in for a consult
frst, saysStarrOttlinger, alicensed
cosmetologist at Strands Salon
& Day Spa. Some women cant
handle having their upper lip
waxed, and thats completely
different from the Brazilian area,
she says. Ottlinger has had clients
come in for a Brazilian wax but
couldnt make it past the bikini
area.
Ifyoudecidetogettheprocedure
done, make anappointment. Dont
expect same-day service. The
waxer cleanses the area before
applying wax, but Ottlinger
recommends that the client wash
herself before the appointment.
You also need to make sure that
the person performing the wax
washesherhandsandonlydipsa
stickintothewaxonetime.Dipping
a used stick back
into the pot can
contaminate the
wax and cause
infections.
A l t h o u g h
Ottlinger performs
Brazilians, she
says she also
discourages them.
The hair is there
for a purpose, she
says. People read
about Brazilians
and think theyre
cool, she says, but
waxing can also
cause infections
and ingrown hairs.
The Hair Facts
Web site, www.
ha i r f a c t s . c o m/
medpubs/waxmed.
html, includes
cases of medical
complicationsfrom
waxing. Whether
youre having a
Brazilian wax or
just a bikini, make
sure to use aloe,
vitamin E or tea
tree oil to soothe
the skin and
preventinfections.
Katie Johnson,
Overland Park
senior, has only
recently started getting Brazilian
waxes, butsheshooked. The very
frsttime wasthe worstpaininmy
entire life, she says. I wanted to
cry, butithurttoobad.The waxes
still hurt, but not nearly as bad as
the frstone, she says.
Johnson goes for a wax every
four or fve weeks. The benefts of
a Brazilian overshadow the pain,
she says. Ittakeslongerforherhair
to grow back, and when it does,
itsthinnerandnotspiky, she says.
Youlllove it, butyouhave todoit
againafterthe frsttime, she says.
Its amazing. She also says she
feelscleanerandisntbotheredby
shaving allthe time anymore.
Just when I think Alex is
fnished, she asks me to bend my
legs, pullthemup tomychestand
hold them there. This is when she
getstoworkonpartof the process
exclusive to the
Brazilianripping
out all the hair Im
convinced isnt
hiding between
mybuttcheeks.
OnceAlexfnishes
and I can fnally
close my legs, she
asks me to take a
look. I dont really
knowwhattosay,as
the painresonating
from my lower half
has consumed my
focus. Oh, it looks
nice, I tell her. Im
not in the habit
of commenting
on my vaginas
appearance, but I
fgure a response
is necessary in this
situation.
My crotch feels
like it has been
punched, and for
another hour, I
have to be careful
how I sit. The next
morning, my skin
is still red, but
Alex had warned
me that redness is
normalandcanlast
from a few hours
until the next day.
Sometimes you
get little red bumps, similar to
those from shaving, but using tea
tree oilhelpscalmthe skin.
Two weeks later, my girl part
isnt mad at me anymore. After a
day, shes used to her makeover,
andIwontrule outareturnvisitin

Niloofar
Shahmohammadi
Please send your
questions and
concerns to
bitch@kansan.com
I have a bad sInus InfectIon, and I have mucus everywhere I mean everywhere.
the other nIght after sex, my boyfrIend mentIoned that I was really wet, but It felt
dIfferent. asIde from the obvIous health concerns, It cut down on the frIctIon and
made sex pretty unsatIsfyIng. untIl thIs clears up, what should I do?
susan, junIor
Niloofar: Your sinus infection
is showing up in your vagina?
Sweetie, if youre using the word
sinus as it is commonly used, then
those are near your nose and
the mucus youre experiencing
further south is probably a yeast
infection. The antibiotics youre
on for your sinuses probably killed
the good bacteria that would
have otherwise prevented the
infection. Yeast infections arent
something to worry about and
can be cleared up relatively easily,
but you need to go to the gyno
because this mucus or rather,
discharge could be a symptom
of something more serious, like an
STD. As far as the friction, or lack
thereof, you should hold off on
the sex until youve seen someone
about your sinus infection. Until
then, there are other ways to be
sexual, like eating out together, if
you know what I mean.
Chris: You should stop having
sex, you sick freak! Your vagina is
leaking germ-flled ooze, and that
isnt an obvious sign to you to stop
sticking things in there? Youre like
a kid who cant stop picking at a
scab, except in this case the scab is
in your vagina. Leave it alone a
few days of celibacy wont kill you.
Its not surprising your boyfriend
found the sex pretty unsatisfying,
considering that he unwittingly
dipped his penis into a pot of
disgusting, infected gunk. When it
starts burning when he pees, hell
know whom to blame. But, hey,
look on the bright side with the
lack of friction brought on by your
disgusting, slimy vagina, now you
know what its like to have your
boyfriend last longer than two
minutes.
My boyfriend snorts when we have sex. he thinks it turns Me on.
how do i get hiM to stop or turn it into soMething constructive?
nikki, freshMan
Chris: How do you tell him
his snorting is a disgusting
turn-off? You just freaking tell
him. While youre at it, look
yourself in the mirror and
tell yourself that you dont
deserve anything better than
a stupid snorter for a lover. For
craps sake, youre making me
moan in misery just thinking
about how much dumber I am
for having spent fve minutes
answering this incredibly
idiotic question. Snort.
Niloofar: Are you dating Steve
Urkel? Luckily,there are things you
can do to change behaviors you
dont like. Try some constructive
communication. Steve, the
snorting dries up my canal, is a
little too direct and unnecessarily
cruel. First, address the positives.
I love having sex with you, and
just thinking about you makes
me want to rip my clothes off!
Then use Istatements, like,I feel
sort of silly/strange/confused
when you snort during sex. I
just dont know what to make
of it, but I feel bothered by it.
Be specifc about your request.
It would make me feel better if
you moaned or did something
else to show me youre enjoying
it, because I associate that with
pleasure more than snorting,
which, once again, just confuses/
frightens me. Be smart about
timing. Bringing this up during
sex or in public, really isnt a good
idea. Bringing it up at some point
and having snort-free sex is.

Budding flmmakers
grow an audience on
the Web
In the past,the most successful
online flmmakers knew one way
to tap into the bored human
mind. Using their pixilated web
cameras, they captured footage
of their friends drinking gallons
of milk, applying black magic
marker to the faces of passed-out
friends or even break dancing in
the nude.
Since then, YouTube,
GoogleVideo and similar sites
have exploded in popularity.
Aspiring flmmakers have
stepped up to the challenge
of delivering quality goods to
the wider audience these sites
provide. They bring with them
the age-old dreams of fame,
money and respect.
Nolan T. Jones, Pittsburg
senior, is one such flmmaker.
In Joness animated show, Zook
Mayhem, talking frogs, raccoons,
koala bears and other animals
offer witty commentary on
popular culture, keggers and
dorm life. The show recalls the
cult cartoons on the late-night
television block, Adult Swim
on Cartoon Network. Zook is
about the culture of college,
but moreover, its a story about
fghting apathy, Jones says.
The creation of a Zook
episode starts with the writing
of dialogue. From there, Richard
Zayas, Smithville junior, and Riley
Dutton, Arma junior, step in to
refne the script. A microphone
captures the actors dialogue,
and then the animation process
begins.
The show has virtually no
budget. Time is the biggest cost.
Dutton, the lead animator of
Zook, says it takes 10 hours to
create one minute of animation.
From there, it takes less than
an hour to upload a video onto
the Web and make it available
to the public. People download
stuff for instant gratifcation,
so dammit, we have to deliver,
Jones says. Zooks
frst episode
premieres across
the Web later this
month.
Jones online
enterprises, such
as his Web site
and movie trailers,
have yet to turn a
proft,but to Jones,
Internet video is
merely a jumping
off point. The
key to making
money with this
will come from
mer chandi si ng
and other
products like
DVDs and toys.
This is all part of Jones 10-year
plan, he says. Besides Zook, the
plan includes the creation of a
feature-length flm trilogy based
on the idea of converting anim
franchises into live action. For
now Im a 21-year-old college
student who is making a cartoon
about talking animals. Foul-
mouthed animals Well see.
Joining Jones in the online
quest for fame are Matt Sloan
and Aaron Yonda.
The duo began
their online
endeavors after
their comedy
series Chad Vader
was rejected
by the New
York television
networks. From
there, they took
things into their
own hands,
posting the video
on YouTube
and attracting a
large crowd of
avid followers by
tapping into the
Star Wars geek
demographic.
The comedy chronicles the
younger brother of Darth Vader,
Chad, as the fustered and
powerless day manager of a
grocery store. He battles with the
night time manager for better
shifts, becomes infatuated with
the check-out girl and struggles
with the ongoing eccentrics of
the customers.
Despite the cult following,
the flmmakers have made
little money. Sloan, 33, still
works at a bookstore in his
hometown of Madison, Wis.
After years of touring at Star
Wars Conventions and flm
festivals, the online series is
fnally attracting attention
from mainstream media. We
hope within the next few years
the Internet will be as big as
television, Sloan says. Besides
attracting 2.5 million views,
Sloan and Yonda premiered
the shows fourth episode on
ABCs Good Morning America
on Oct. 11.
Video sites are a great way for
aspiring flmmakers to hone their
craft and work outside of the
foreboding studio system, says
Shawn Roney, KU flm graduate
teaching assistant.The YouTube
flmmakers have the same DIY
spirit of the punk rockers from
the 1970s. You dont have to be a
virtuoso to make great stuff. You
dont need a $1 million advance.
Anyone can make movies, and
thats really exciting.
YouTube.com
and traditional
television
netWorks
Leading the charge in online
video is YouTube.com, which has,
according to Alexa.com, climbed
to the seventh most popular
site on the Web. Currently, more
than 100 million videos are
available, while 65,000 more are
uploaded each day.
YouTube allows anyone
with Internet access to,
without charge, search for
and play historical, music and
independent videos. In June
2006, NBC took note of the
sites success. The network
began a partnership with
YouTube whereby an offcial
NBC channel will be set up on
the site, broadcasting clips of
the popular sitcom The Offce
among others.
MTV has also capitalized on
the web video phenomenon by
signing 22-year-old Aziz Asariss
comedy troupe for a show to
premiere in 2007. Asaris grew
much of his audience online,
via blogging sites, and his
Shutterbugs comedy series on
YouTube.

Eat, Sleep, Repeat
ALL RATINGS ARE OUT OF A POSSIBLE FIVE STARS.
THEATER
With their third album Eat, Sleep,
Repeat, Copeland has once again
broken new ground. In Motion,
Copelands 2005 release, was a more
piano-driven album compared to
2003s guitar-heavy debut, Beneath
Medicine Tree. Now, Eat, Sleep,
Repeat, with even more change, is
Copelands best album yet.
The album starts strongly with
the vibraphone and drum loop
heavy Wheres My Head. Next, the
title track combines vibraphone-
heavy verses and guitar-heavy
choruses to make for another great
track. From there the album veers
into other exciting territory.Careful
Now brings to mind Radioheads
OK Computer and features a bridge
reminiscent of Strawberry Fields
Forever by the Beatles. Love
Affair has a jazzy bridge featuring
a nice horn section backed by
string ourishes. Im Safer On An
Airplanends Copeland once again
dabbling in electronic drumbeats;
like previous efforts, it sounds great.
The Last Time He Saw Dorie has
some nice female vocals that help
make the song an instant classic.
With Eat, Sleep, Repeat, Copeland
shows that theyre capable of trying
new things and that, sometimes,
new things sound great. Theyll
be bringing their new songs
along with the old favorites to the
Granada on Nov. 7. Lawrences own
The Appleseed Cast opens the
show along with Acute and Owen.

Chris Brower
The University Theatre
opened its performance of
Thornton Wildes Pulitzer Prize
winning play The Skin of Our
Teeth last Friday night in the
Crafton-Pryor Theatre.
The intentional absence of
a play synopsis challenges the
audience to gure out the plot.
Although initially intriguing,
the play quickly becomes a
frustrating experience with
nothing to rely on but a
painfully attentive mind and a
cast of colorful characters.
However, fabulous acting
and the breaking of the fourth
wall when cast members
momentarily step out of their
roles to speak directly to the
audience sell the show.
This adds humor and a sense
of relief in an otherwise tense
play. Characters such as Moses,
Albert Einstein, Cain (of Cain
and Able fame), and situations
such as war, the Ice Age, The
Great Depression and The
Great Flood add enough levels
to the piece to make a novice
playgoers head spin. When
viewed as a whole, it is evident
that the play was written in
subliminal messages about the
complexities of being human.
However, the message would
have been clearer had anything
in the form of a synopsis been
provided to the audience.
The sets and costumes are
wonderful, and the lighting
adds a perfect touch of sunrise
or melancholy blue when
appropriate. Sabina (played by
Kacie L. Dienstbach, Litteton,
Colo., senior) carries the play
with a contagious vigor and
manages to stay away from the
stereotypical and blas blonde
her character could have so
easily slipped into.
A denite brain buster,
Skin of Our Teeth is worth the
$10 student ticket price and
adds variety to an otherwise
drunkenly forgetful weekend.
The play continues tonight
and through Saturday with
performances at 7:30 p.m., and
nishes with a 2:30 Sunday
matinee.
