Answer to Question 1

When it comes to sex, verbal communication about your likes and needs is far better than nonverbal communication, but nonverbal communication can be much less threatening than verbal communication. For example, if you would like your partner to touch your breasts more during foreplay, you can moan, or even move more, to communicate your pleasure when your partner does it. You might also try performing the behavior on your partner that you wish she or he would do to you, but be aware that this approach can sometimes backfire.

Answer to Question 2

Overall, women are better than men at decoding and translating nonverbal communication (deLange, 1995). Women's nonverbal techniques include more eye contact, head nods, and minimal encouragers (nonverbal cues signaling that they are listening) than men's techniques (J. C. Pearson et al., 1991). Women also smile, lean forward, and touch more often than men in conversation (Wood, 1999).

These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
