It’s that time of year when people are thinking about their new year’s resolutions. And while there are lots of great ideas for what you can plan to accomplish in 2021 (just celebrating that it is no longer 2020 is a great start), might I suggest resolving to either improve or get more out of …

I am a podcast fiend, or at least I was before quarantine. I didn’t realize how much time I spent commuting until I stopped commuting. But now that I don’t have to take a 30 minute bus ride to class (instead, I roll the 5 feet from my bed to my desk for “Zoom University”), …

Whatever is happening just isn’t making you feel good. In this situation, many women would pretend to have an orgasm. They might do it to hurry …

My friends and I talk a lot about sex. We talk about the sex we’re having, how to make sex better, and occasionally about awkward interactions we’ve had in the bedroom (or sofa, or shower). But there was something we’d never spoken about until recently: impotence. I always thought of impotence as something that older …
