Answer to Question 1

Responses should consider:
1. Fantasy provides a safe sexual outlet. A fantasy itself does not involve any physical contact, so there is no danger of pregnancy or STIs. By itself or combined with masturbation, fantasy can provide a completely safe sexual experience.
2. Fantasy can enhance arousal. Probably the most common reasons people fantasize are to increase and enhance their feelings of sexual excitement. Fantasy in a nonsexual setting has the potential to enhance future sexual encounters, and fantasy during masturbation or lovemaking can strengthen physical and psychological responses.
3. Fantasy can relieve boredom. Sex therapists often recommend fantasy to spice up a couple's sex life that has become routine and predictable.
4. Fantasy can be used to treat sexual problems. Fantasy, usually combined with masturbation, is a cornerstone of sex therapy. It has been shown to increase sexual desire, arousability, orgasm, and sexual satisfaction in general.
5. Fantasy can relieve sexual anxiety, guilt, and doubt. Nearly everyone at one time or another feels anxiety, guilt, or self-doubt about sexual issues. Fantasy offers an opportunity to think about sexual values, to replay sexual scenes, and to learn about one's sexual identity.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
