Eyes tell if you're straight or gay.

he pupil in the eye shoots open when people become aroused, which leads others to know whether one is gay or straight, scientists have said.

A sex study conducted by Ritch Savin-Williams and Gerulf Rieger of Cornell University, monitored 165 men and 160 women, including gay, straight and bisexual participants, the Daily Mail reported.

The subjects were shown one-minute videos of a man masturbating, a woman masturbating and neutral landscape scenes, and their pupils were studied.

Straight men reacted to sexual images of women, gay men responded to sexual images of men, and bisexuals respond to both men and women, the results showed.

However, results from the women were complex.

Gay women had pupil dilation after seeing sexual images of other women but straight women dilated similarly in response to erotic images of both sexes.

Savin-Williams said this does not mean all straight women are secretly bisexual.

He said a woman's body could respond to a sexual stimulus, regardless of its appeal.

Women moan to help men climax.

A new study from the University of Central Lancashire has revealed that the noise a woman might make during sex does not often correspond with her orgasm - but may have to do with her partner.
It found a woman's 'copulatory vocalisations' are made most often before her climax or during her partner's.
The findings were based on analysis of 71 women with an average age of 22.
The study aimed to identify whether a woman's vocal expressions during intercourse were triggered by orgasm or occurred independently.
Most women polled said they reached orgasm during foreplay, but were most likely to vocalise their enjoyment during their partner's.
The researchers believe the reason for this discrepancy is that women are "manipulating male behaviour to their advantage".
"These data together clearly demonstrate a dissociation of the timing of women experiencing orgasm and making copulatory vocalisations and indicate that there is at least an element of these responses that are under conscious control, providing women with an opportunity to manipulate male behaviour to their advantage," the Daily Mail quoted the researchers as writing.
Another suggestion is that women are conforming to 'an idealised sexual script'.
"Women appear to vocalize during sex not to express their own enjoyment so much as to help the man reach climax," Dr John Grohol, founder of website Psych Central, said.
"Maybe these vocalizations are a part of that idealized sexual script, or at least done in response to what women believe their male partner wants," he added.

7 Secrets to a huge orgasm.

Believe it or not, but achieving an orgasm is not as common a phenomenon as the act of love making. Yes, the Big O is an alluring experience that millions of women struggle to attain on a regular basis. 

Whether you're keen to learn how to achieve an orgasm or whether you simply want to experience greater sexual satisfaction, we bring you real life moan-and-groan mantras of women from all walks of life, along with expert proficiency. Here's the ultimate ''orgasm guide'', which is completely devoted to seeking the most erotic pleasure...

Stop thinking about it 
"I started concentrating on when and how to climax to coordinate with my beau. My deliberate efforts had such negative impact that getting an orgasm turned into a damn squid or a 'once in blue moon' situation. I discussed the problem with my gyne and she advised me to take things easy and go with the flow. Getting all worked up and stressed-out spoils the climax," shares 32-year-old Kavita Bohra.

Kavita's funda: Keep your mind in the moment and feel rather than think - it will make climaxing much easier.

Expert talk: "Stop thinking of sex in a sequence. Sex doesn't actually have a start, middle or end. You could orgasm during foreplay or via a quickie against the bathroom wall. All orgasms are great; thinking of them as brilliant or boring merely puts pressure on us. The trick is not to strive for something better," shares sexologist Dr. Renu Rai

Play it out! 
"Getting over sexual taboos considerably transformed my sex life," quips an excited Mandeep Kaur Dhaliwal. The 27-year-old architect adds, "For instance, the very idea of watching porn use to freak me out. But then my boyfriend cajoled me to give it a shot just once and it miraculously spiced up our sex life. Not only did I experience amazing orgasms, but I realized that watching porn didn't make me a bad girl."

Mandeep's funda: Don't be scared to experiment - you never know what might rock your sexual world.

Expert talk: Dr. A. K Singh suggests, "Don't restrain yourself. Imagine doing salsa without swinging hips; no fun, right? That's what aiming for an orgasm is like, if you don't loose yourself a little. If an act doesn't do it for you sexually, don't try it again. But if it does, congratulations, you have just opened the door to many more orgasmic possibilities."

Monogamy pays! 
Sudeshna Chatterjee, a 29-year-old communication manager reveals, "Ever since my boyfriend and I got married and started living together, I'm having orgasms 85 per cent of the times, compared to our dating days where I used to climax around 40 per cent."

Sudeshna's funda: Experience pays as you get familiarised with each others' moan zones and are thus more than willing to explore newer ones.

Expert talk: Dr. A. K Singh explains, "On the basis of my interaction with my clients, sexually successful women insist that sticking to one man results in exceptional payoffs. Over a period of time, your partner can master your quirky curves and the art of making you climax."

It's all about the position 
"I think great sex is all about angles. The days we are really tired and in not mood to experiment, sex is merely okay. But when we have all the time (and just the right mood), we experiment with new positions and needless to say, end up having the best climax of our lives." shares sales manager, Deepshika Verma.

Deepshika's funda: Don't be afraid to try new things, you'll be surprised how many new sensations you both can experience.

Expert talk: "There's no denying the fact that with each position, the sensations change. The Kamasautra, which is the ultimate guide of lovemaking, elaborates on this science. Some positions focus chiefly on the clitoris, others are great for G-spot indulgence and then there are some that do wonders for emotional intimacy. The best part is that even if you are a novice and lack such creativity, ample literature is available on the Internet and magazines to guide you better," explains sex therapist Dr. Simridhi Siddique.

Alternate orgasm therapy 
Mona Dave, a 30-year-old boutique owner, states, "Ninety per cent of the times, I could only have an orgasm through oral or manual stimulation - never through regular sexual intercourse. I firstly thought something is wrong with me. But now, it's a normal occurrence. My partner has accepted it and now we indulge in lot of such acts that can make me reach an orgasm."

Mona's funda: If a certain act has rocked your arousal level and triggered a sensationalorgasm once, include it in your subsequent sex sessions.

Expert talk: Dr. Renu Rai shares, "Intercourse is a great way to get pregnant, but you can't categorise it as the most efficient way to reach orgasm. If you desire more than one orgasm, my best tip is to use different forms of stimulation, otherwise you get desensitized."

Explore yourself 
Pooja Sanwal made it all the way to the age of 29 without ever experiencing an orgasm. She tried and tested myriad ways, but nothing worked. She finally consulted Dr. Jawahar Batra and decided to take the matter in her own hands. "I went to my room, closed the door and took my time exploring my body. Even though I didn't exactly go over the edge during the session, I felt like - I now know how to make it happen." shares Pooja.

Pooja's funda: Discover what works for you and without any inhibition communicate the same to your partner.

Expert talk: "Know what works for your body. Practice stimulating yourself and then share your newfound knowledge with your partner or give him instruction when in bed." says Dr. Jawahar

Foreplay your way 
Admit it, the female orgasm isn't a push-button response. "Sex was nothing more than a sad, painful experience till the time we understood that foreplay is the most important part of lovemaking. Most men (like my husband) love to believe that the female body is composed of only one spot that calls upon a mind boggling, orgasmic experience. This however is so untrue," chuckles 26-year-old, Vanshika Rastogi.

Vanshika's funda: Make your man understand that there are multiple erogenous spots in a woman's body which can invoke a pleasurable and intense female orgasm.

Expert talk: Dr Simridhi Siddique elucidates, "A woman can achieve several orgasms during foreplay alone, if done the right way. Invest as much time as possible in foreplay and arousal. An aroused state of mind is usually followed by a multi-orgasmic experience and she will definitely love you more for this success. Read as many books as possible on foreplay and study all the techniques."

So, what are you waiting for? Pick the best way for an over-the-top O.

Wipro’s recruitment team sees a churn. BANGALORE: Wipro's talent acquisition team has seen a churn in the last few months, thanks to a restructuring exercise undertaken by the company. 

Priti Rajora, global head of talent acquisition inWipro Technologies, quit the company in July. She is currently on a short break and is exploring various options. Rajora, who joinedWipro in 2000, was handling both billable (volume hiring) and strategic hiring across geographies, heading a 500-member team with 75 people based outside India. She was reporting to Saurabh Govil, global HR head in Wipro Technologies. 

Venkat Inampudi, head of leadership hiring in the Americas, moved out around the same time as Rajora. He is currently a director for global sales strategy in Dell based out of the GreaterChicago area. Arvind J, who was GM and head of leadership hiring in Wipro, has joined Cisco. 

The restructuring exercise initiated in January this year came into effect in March. Under the restructuring, the talent acquisition team was split into two: one for billable (volume hiring) and the other for strategic hiring. Strategic hiring involves recruitment for consulting and leadership roles and for Wipro's newly established `hunting team' (sales folk dedicated to finding new big-league customers). Rajora's role was restricted to strategic hiring, which sources say was the reason she felt compelled to leave. 

In the new structure, Deepak Jain, senior vice president and global head of work force planning and development in Wipro Technologies, is looking at the billable function, and Ashok Tripathy , VP and business head in Wipro Systems and Technology, is looking at strategic hiring. Jain reports into Bhanumurthy BM, chief business operations officer of Wipro's IT business, and Tripathy reports into Govil.
