The primary flavor found in any old-fashioned homemade root beer recipe is sassafras, a deciduous tree native to North America. The characteristic sweet flavor comes from the treeâs roots, thus giving us the name root beer. Incidentally, the treeâs leaves give us file powder which is the essential thickening agent in classic gumbo. Now of course, the primary flavor we associate with root beer is that of wintergreen, not of sassafras.
I was flipping through Rachel Pollack's 78 Degrees of Wisdom and she was comparing The Chariot (7) to Strength (8). She explains that The Chariot is 7 as that is the number of holes in the male body, and Strength is 8 as that is the number of holes in the female body (in both cases the nostrils count as only one hole).
A woman may not know that her hymen has broken because it doesnât always cause pain or noticeable bleeding. If a woman's hymen breaks before she has had sex, it does not mean that she isn't a virgin. It is therefore normal for a woman not to bleed the first time she has sex. Bleeding during sex can also be caused by vaginal dryness, insertion of objects such as sex toys, or rough sex. Read more about this in Further information. If you regularly get bleeding during or after sex, get advice from your GP.
