Using data complied over 9 months of fieldwork, this paper aims to explore how erotic role play in World of Warcraft (Blizzard, 2004) has, in some cases challenged and in other cases reinforced, traditional Western concepts of monogamy and fidelity. Data was collected through the use of ingame interviews with self-identified erotic role players on a heavily populated role play server located in...

Previous work has shown that the asymmetric triazine analogue of uridine, 6-azauracil riboside (azauridine), is a much more potent inhibitor of the growth of transplantable mouse tumors than is 6-azauracil (1,2). Presumably this difference in activity reflects the limited extent of the conversion of azauracil to azauridine in mammalian systems (3). On the other hand, formation of the 5’-phospha...

This study examined the effects of the nitric oxide-precursor L-arginine combined with the alpha 2-blocker yohimbine on subjective and physiological sexual arousal in postmenopausal women with Female Sexual Arousal Disorder. Twenty-four women participated in three treatment sessions in which self-report and physiological (vaginal photoplethysmograph) sexual responses to erotic stimuli were meas...

Lipoproteins of rat plasma have been characterized by lipid analysis, preparative ultracentrifugation, electrophoresis on paper, and immunoelectrophoresis with specific antisera to Lu-lipoprotein, P-lipoprotein, and whole rat plasma. Similar techniques were used to characterize the lipoproteins released by livers perfused in situ with a suspension of erythrocytes in a medium initially free of r...

Visual stimuli with emotional content appearing in close temporal proximity either before or after a target stimulus can hinder conscious perceptual processing of the target via an emotional attentional blink (EAB). This occurs for targets that appear after the emotional stimulus (forward EAB) and for those appearing before the emotional stimulus (retroactive EAB). Additionally, the traditional...

Paraphilic disorders are Axis I psychiatric afflictions. They are not acquired by volitional decision, but are manifested by the association of erotic arousal with unacceptable behavior or stimulae (e.g., children). Because paraphilic behavior occurs in the service of a biological drive, use of medication to suppress sexual appetite may constitute an adjunct in treatment. Medroxyprogesterone ca...

We consider dynamic scenes consisting of moving points whose motion is constrained to happen in one of a pencil of planes. This is for example the case when rigid objects move independently, but on a common ground plane (each point moves in one of a pencil of planes parallel to the ground plane). We consider stereo pairs of the dynamic scene, taken by a moving stereo system, that allow to obtai...
