Happy Valentines Day! Where is your relationship at?

America is in the midst of a loneliness epidemic. One solution: People should have more s*x — as often as they can, as pleasurably as they can.

When couples notice the things that their partner does to nurture the relationship and contribute positively to their life together, it increases gratitude and caring. Not only does it help to make your "invisible" labor more visible, but also to take notice of the things that your partner does for the relationship. Since communication is so important, telling your partner how much you appreciate what they do is also crucial (and scores you big points!!)

Recognizing the work equates to recognizing the persons doing the work.

Separating fact from fiction: Does your va**na need a probiotic? If there are problems with chronic va**nal infections, healing the gut and balancing the gut bacteria usually does the trick.

I'm posting this link to a video from The Atlantic on women's reactions to changes after childbirth. It seems to me that we are failing as a society to provide women with community, education, and support around the changes that take place being pregnant and after delivery. Some of the physical changes can be quite traumatic in some cases. But even in cases of stretch marks and loose skin, there does not seem to be any association to the positive action of carrying a child and giving it life. (Although people will scar their bodies with tattoos as badges of other things they have done in their lives). Can you imagine how wonderful it would be if stretch marks were valued as a sign of power, resilience, and knowledge - and if all of society gave this support & love to each other? And can you imagine if birth and the time afterwards were considered a time when extra support and care was given to each woman - rather than just shuttling them away with a follow up appointment in 6 weeks? Can you imaging what it would look like if the whole community gave loving massage, babysitting hours so mom could sleep, and supported other lifestyle factors like meals, exercise buddies, or even just adult conversation instead of a barrage of baby gifts? Wouldn't that be the real gift - support, connection, time, presence?

New mothers reveal how unprepared they felt for the severity of postpartum physical changes.
