Sheen contends that he told all of his sexual partners of his condition, that he had unprotected sex after the diagnosis only twice, and that it was “under the care of my doctor and they were completely warned ahead of time.” This raises interesting legal issues about a person’s criminal and civil culpability for exposing a sexual partner to the virus.
AvvoStories recently posed a series of questions to renowned relationship expert and sexologist Dr. Pepper Schwartz, asking her to weigh in on the current state of romance, marriage, and divorce in the midst of societal and technological change. This is the second excerpt from that interview, in which Dr. Schwartz discusses relationship longevity and how expectations for would-be life partners have increased over time.
Throughout the country, a correlation seems to exist between the populace’s faith in police and their attitudes toward gun ownership. The Northeast, with its overall belief in the ability of authorities tasked with public safety, has the lowest gun ownership rates in the country: 19% of people in the Northeast own a gun, compared to 29% each in the Midwest and West and 30% in the South.
A study conducted by Avvo to determine public attitudes around national personal safety indicates the Northeastern region of the country has the most faith in the ability of law enforcement to keep them safe. The survey also showed that the same region—perhaps not coincidentally—contains the broadest support for gun control.
A study conducted by Avvo to determine public attitudes around national personal safety indicates only 26% of people living in the South believe police can effectively keep them safe. Meanwhile, Southerners are also more likely to believe they can effectively protect themselves with a firearm.
A study conducted by Avvo to determine public attitudes around national personal safety found 38% of people living in the West region believe they could protect themselves with a gun if in danger; meanwhile, only 32% say the police succeed at keeping them safe.
A study conducted by Avvo to determine public attitudes around national personal safety indicates a climate of distrust in the Midwest portion of the country when it comes to the ability of police to protect the public.
Avvo and NakedLaw recently posed a series of questions to renowned relationship expert and sexologist Dr. Pepper Schwartz, asking her to weigh in on the current state of romance, marriage, divorce, and how we are connecting with each other in the midst of societal and technological change. This is the first excerpt from that interview, in which Dr. Schwartz discusses new rights for the LGBT community, open relationships, and how men and women differ on prioritizing monogamy.
It seems the kids are alright…with not being monogamous. That’s probably not what The Who meant exactly back in 1965, but here in 2015, a new study by Avvo shows that 51% of adults aged 18-23 are not “morally opposed” to being in an open relationship.
The data show a total of 94,550 accidents involving both a DUI and a death nationwide since 2004. Many of these accidents occur on the interstates and highways running through the most rural areas of the country. These major roadways are less numerous than local street or county roads and often run through much less populated areas. Yet despite rural roads being less populated, an NHTSA study shows that crashes in rural areas account for 54% of the associated fatalities.
