Answer to:
Are fireflies male or female?
That's an interesting question. One would assume that they would have to be both male and female. In some species of firefly, that's true. However, there are species of firefly in which the females are flightless and are called glowworms. So, depending on the species, they are male and female, or only male.

Answer to:
When your body burns carbohydrates, where do they come from? Are they stored like fat?
But ALL glucose IS carbohydrate. And your liver does convert stored fat into glucose. Your body has very little use for fat. Cholesterol is a fatty alcohol and hormones are made from fat. However, there is very little else your body does with fat besides store it. Everything else uses carbohydrates and proteins and it's your liver that converts stored fat to carbohydrates.
Answer to:
When your body burns carbohydrates, where do they come from? Are they stored like fat?
I could have been more clear in my answer. Fats are stored as fat. You body does not store carbohydrates. Rather, you liver converts carbohydrates to fat and then stores the fat. Your liver also converts fat back to carbohydrates for use by your cells.

In a community property state, my husband purchased our home before marriage. The deed is in his name only though he re-financed the house during our marriage. Am I entitled to any of the equity?
You may be entitled to some of the equity. Any money either of you earned during the marriage would be community property and you own half of all community property. If the house payments were made using community property, then your money was used to pay for the house. You may be entitled to half of the increase in value of the house during the marriage or to half of the equity.

Why are my 35mm pictures turning out grainy/hazy even though they were taken in full sun, using 400ASA film, and all settings on the camera are correct?
ASA 400 is much grainer than ASA 100. ASA 400 is best for use in low light and for stop action photos. If you're taking pictures in full sun, use ASA 100; it has a much finer grain.

Answer to:
I haven't been able to ejaculate for years due to abdominal surgery. I still orgasm but not a drop. A urologist said it's not harmful, but where does the semen go?
What sort of abdominal surgery did you have? Do you still have a prostate? Most of the ejaculate is produced by the prostate. If you don't have one, there's really nothing to ejaculate. Sperm makes up only a tiny bit of the total ejaculate, and you would likely not notice it.
You may be having retrograde ejaculations. That is, instead of coming out the end of your penis, the semen...

Answer to:
Can a eunich have an orgasm? If so, would he ejaculate?
The prostate makes most of the ejaculate. In general, a eunuch would still have his prostate, and therefore would produce semen, but because he would not have testicles, he would not produce sperm. If a man were castrated (had his testicles removed) after going through puberty, then he would be fully sexually developed. He would respond to sexual stimulation just like any other man, and would...

Answer to:
Are women with large clitorises hermaphrodites?
No. Clitorises come in different sizes just like penises. Although the clitoris is the female equivalent of the male penis, a large clitoris is not a penis. True hermaphrodites have both male sex organs and female sex organs. A hermaphrodite would be able to both father children (get a female pregnant), and become pregnant by a male. Most (maybe all) snails and worms are hermaphrodites. There...

When a man and a woman get married, can the man take the woman's last name?

I cheated on my girlfriend and regret it. Since then, she's been spying on me, she got my e-mail passwords, has read my diary, and has been going through my things. Do I deserve this or is this crossing the line?
You deserve all of that and more. You have demonstrated that you are not trustworthy. Before, you could be trusted by mere benefit of the doubt. Now, however, you need to earn her trust. You had better be totally open and honest.

Answer to:
Can my child support payments be lowered if I remarry and have more children?
This varies state-by-state. However, the general concept is that you have to financially provide for the child just as you would if the child lived with you full time. As your family situation changes, so would the amount you would spend on the child. Therefore, child support can also be changed if you file the appropriate documents with the court -- Motion and Order for Change in Child Support.

Answer to:
My boyfriend admitted to cheating when I caught him with explicit SMSs on his cellphone. He says "she's not worth it", so why did he do it? How can I get past this and forgive him?
If he did it once, he'll do it again. Remember, whatever he's willing to do now, he'll continue to do after marriage. Forgive him and then move on. He's not worth your time. Unforgiveness is the poison we take ourselves hoping to hurt someone else. Forgive him because it's the best thing you can do for yourself. Forgiving someone doesn't mean you have to put...

Can I get my cat spayed while she is in heat? And how long do cats stay in heat?
You can get your cat spayed while it is in heat. However, most vets will either refuse to do it or charge you more for doing so. It's messier and more complicated. I don't know how long a cat remains in heat. You can also have your cat spayed while it is pregnant. However, the same applies to while it is in heat.
