40 ~ Wednesday, May 30, 1990 - North Shore News LIFESTYLES ‘Love bites’ could carry rabies Q. A YEAR or so ago a woman I worked with was jooking at her legs and feet with her stockings off in the female employees’ lounge. She asked me to examine some sores and bruises and said her boyfriend’s little dog had bitten her severa! times. I said once would be enough for me and = she began to giggle. I didn’t get it until Jast night when I was making love with a new boyfriend and his Pomeranian began to bite my feet. I got sore and called off the sexual encounter and dressed and left. He phoned me in an hour and said be was sorry but ke couldn't stop laughing. I hung up. Do you think this is the same guy the girl told me about, and what do you think of a man who owns a Pomersnian? A. Better than a pit bull, I guess, but I’m not a big dog fancier. Yes, I think it is the same guy and you were right to leave like that. No- body dies of an interrupted sex en- counter. | would have the bites looked at. A friend has a dog that hates roughhousing and attacks him and his young sons when they wrestle on the floor. However, that dog attacks all the wrestlers. The Pomeranian in question bites only the woman guest. If the guy can laugh about that, we have to sup- pose that some women will put up Chinese involvement surprised troops From page 39 tated when his son told him he was going off to war. “*‘My father was very upset, he was very sad. My mother felt pro- ud, but yet she was worried. They were both worried. 1 was shocked at my father’s reaction, he actually wept when I told him I had joined up.’”’ Shortly after he had enlisted, Copley and other Canadian troops arrived at Pearl Harbor where all the UN forces had assembled. But Copley said the Canadians were soon in for a shock when they read the local newspapers at Pearl Harbor. “The United Nations realized the Chinese had entered the war when we got to Pearl Harbor. There were paper boys with extras on the dock shouting half a million Chinese were in North Korea,”’ Copley says laughing. ‘*We thought, here we are, a thousand - Canadians going over there, and there’s half a million Chinese. That’s pretty good.’’ Of the 27,000 Canadians who fought in the Korean War, 1,200 were wounded and 516 were killed. The KVA argues that too many Canadians have forgotten the role Canada played in the Korean War. But Copley says that is under- standable because the war came only five years after the Second World War and right before the Vietnam War, which took most of the attention away from the Korean War. But while Copley says it is all right for Canadians to forget about the Korean War, he says there are lessons from that war that should never be forgotten. “Ore (lesson) was that it achieved its purpose. It drove the invader back and the Soviet Union paid attention to that.”” with the biting to have sex, or find it stimulating. Q. My husband keeps up a run- ning line of baby talk while petting me and doing foreplay and right on through orgasm. It makes me sick. I hate to hurt his feelings. What should I do? A. I am tempted to say you should put up with it — right on through orgasm. Because you can have an orgasm, how badly does it put you off? That is what f am tempted to say but I don’t say it. Consider it never said. Some lucky women are orgasmic and hardly anything pre- vents them from having an orgasm Dr. Ruth Ruth Westheimer from a sexual encounter. The bed breaks down or the ceiling falls and nothing deters them unless the man is knocked out. Maybe not even that. But a guy who has a ter- rible line of talk, maybe in a too- sugary tone of voice, can really bug certain women. I have spent part of my life urg- ing men to talk more to their women, because women, in gener- al, can use loving vocalizing and words in their ears to help them on the road to orgasm. Millions of women are not such critics of language and sentiment as you. But of course, there has to be the exceptional woman, like yourself, who objects to her lover’s line. Some beg to be told dirty words, some want to be talked to master- fully even though they are vice- presidents or even CEOs in their working lives. I suggest not telling him to quit talking (unless you know definitely that silence is what you prefer) but giving him some guidance by talking back in the vein you prefer or handing him a book of your favorite poet. Q. I was going with a woman for a while and we had a lot of fun, laughs particularly. Once she told me how football and violent sports on TV turn her on, and how sometimes she would be so aroused by them that she had to bring herself to orgasm to relieve the tension. This I did not think was funny and I have cooled off ow her. It bothers me a lot, because it was a good thing we had going and sometimes I wish she just hadn't told me. I don’t care whether she made it up to be funny or was tell- ing the truth; I just wish she had not told it to me. A. Iam sorry she told you, too. A case of misguided openness.
