Happy December, my 60 and Me friends. I know what a whirlwind December can be and how fast the month flies by – family, friends, parties, happy times, reminiscing of people we wish were still with us and happy to celebrate the festivities once again. And, maybe we get a moment to pause and think… where will this wonderful adventure of life take us in 2023? So, let’s take a few minutes to actually plan where we want our hearts to go in the new year. The Shyness Syndrome and Dating Are you a shy person? A bit skeptical about online dating? Still thinking the man must always pursue the woman? Well, I have news for you: There are large research groups that study this type of thinking, and according to their results, 43% of the singles’ population is shy.…
Mature Dating Tips: 5 First Date Questions… and 5 Topics to Avoid!
I believe that first dates are meant to be light and airy as you spend time getting to know someone. Most women in their 50s and 60s don’t realize they have choices they didn’t have in their 20s as to how a man can fit in their life. Men can be your lover, your friend, your boyfriend, your companion, your friend with benefits, your husband, or nothing. You get to decide. These choices give you the luxury of taking some time to discover a man’s personality without having to quickly assess him by using what I call The Dating Resume Questions. These are questions that you fire off one after the other like: How many kids do you have? What do you do? What type of relationship are you looking for? How many times have you been married? Questions like…
Most People Assume That Others Are Having More Sex Than Them
In the age of social media and all of its “highlight reels,” it’s perhaps never been easier to get trapped in a cycle of comparison. Is everyone having more fun than you are? Do they have better jobs? Nicer cars? Happier lives? It’s not fun to feel—whether the notion is reality or not—that others are in a situation you deem preferable to your own. And for some, this can manifest as the belief that others are having more sex than you. To be sure, you’re in good company if you’ve ever wondered, Do I have less sex than normal? According to the recently released 2022 Sex Report by sexual wellness brand Hims & Hers, 95 percent of the more than 7,000 people surveyed said they assume other people have had sex in the past month, but 25 percent of participants said…
How many times a day/week/month should I have sex?!
When actor Andrew Garfield recently revealed on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast that he abstained from sex for six months in order to prepare for a role, actress/talk show host Drew Barrymore took notice. And she didn’t seem to think that six month was a big deal. What about you? Does it seem like it’s too long, or do you view it as an easy sacrifice for an important yet time-limited cause? When it comes to sex, we humans love numbers. How many orgasms can someone have in a row? Should I buy the jumbo pack of condoms, or just what I need for tonight? How many times a day/week/month should I be having sex? How many times day/week/month do I feel like having sex? See what I mean? We can get very quantitative about it all. While that’s all well…
Spice It Up: It’s All About the Novelty
Read More at Treating Low-T, Erectile Dysfunction & Peyronie’s | Sexual Health Experts [[{“value”:” It’s inevitable – long-term partners are gonna get bored. Maybe it’s the conversation, your daily routine or the same old weekend plans. At some point, sex might also morph into a yawn-apalooza. Being with a long-term partner can mean a lifetime of love, connectedness, commitment and care. And contrary to popular belief, it can also be sexually fulfilling throughout your years together. But you can essentially kiss that likelihood goodbye if you don’t change things up every now and again. It doesn’t mean you have to abandon everything you like, but if you don’t give your sex life a good long stare at least somewhat regularly, the temperature is sure to drop. Maybe you’re tired of the same ol’ same ol’ in the sack, and…
The Truth About Unexpected Emotional Erections
Read More at AskMen [[{“value”:”Two Valentine’s Days ago, when I popped the question to my wife, I also popped something else — a boner. We were at a local bar and a folk-singing couple had just finished a cover of Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon” when I turned to deliver the fateful question. The second that “yes” left her lips, I started to feel it, that unmistakable sensation. You could say that my body was getting ready for the proposal after-party, but I knew even then that it wasn’t just that. Distracted, I didn’t think much of it at the time. That is, until it happened again while we were talking about having kids. It makes sense, I suppose, since my body could’ve been saying, “Yep, we’re ready. Let’s get this going right now.” But again, it wasn’t just that. Both…
Vasectomy Increases Sexual Frequency & Satisfaction for Both Partners
Read More at Treating Low-T, Erectile Dysfunction & Peyronie’s | Sexual Health Experts Considering a vasectomy? Let’s answer the first question on every man’s mind: Will getting a vasectomy ruin my sex life? No! In fact, the opposite is typically true: research shows that men who get vasectomies report a higher sex drive, more powerful orgasms, greater satisfaction with erections and intercourse, and more frequent sexual encounters. Sounds too good to be true? Well, let’s get into the science and understand why this is the case. Before we dive in, it’s important to understand: what is a vasectomy? A vasectomy is a form of male birth control that mechanically interrupts the flow of sperm by surgically cutting the vas deferens — the tube that mature sperm travel through to mix with your semen and exit the penis during ejaculation. Vasectomy is…
