It’s so wonderful to have such sex-positive friends and family members who constantly flood my Facebook

Although this is a pretty common topic in popular magazines, the article took a different spin than what I’m used to seeing. Usually articles like this mention exercises to strengthen your PC muscles, such as kegels.

By: |

Everyone seems to have an opinion about what college students should buy when they go back to school. And a lot of it sadly seems to have to do with promoting consumer behaviors rather than students’ well-being. As someone who has been teaching college students for about 6 years now – and whose work and teaching focuses on sex, love and relationships – I thought I might throw out a few ideas about 10 things college students might consider in this area. None of them involve buying pricey cars, laptops or shoes. Rather, my suggestions – which I think apply well to non-college students and older adults, too – are to: Continue Reading →
