Sexual Health



From Cory Silverberg, your Guide to Sexuality
You can find sexual inspiration in the oddest places. Last week it happened over breakfast in the tiny room that was added on to the back of my house by the previous residents. It's uninsulated and feels about ten degrees colder than the rest of the house, even in the dead of summer. Last week it really was cold, because in Canada fall = now, and I found myself huddled over my toast, listening to the radio, thinking the opposite of sexy thoughts. And then I heard Ari Shapiro's voice...

Why the Midterm Elections Make Me Think of Sex
I was listening to a story on NPR's Morning Edition yesterday about the midterm elections and it made me think about sex. NPR often makes me think about sex. Usually it's not in a listening-to-this-is-making-me-want-to-have-sex way so much as a wow-the-U.S.-is-REALLY-screwed-up-about-sex way. Different things trigger it at different times. This time it was hope and a baseball game that set off the sexual response.

Helping Yourself While Asking for Sexual Help
Few of us are good at asking for help. I blame the mass delusion that we are all independent, that we should be able to do things ourselves. There's almost nothing we ever accomplish that we accomplish alone, yet still, many of us will risk our health and happiness to avoid acknowledging that we need help, and asking for the help we need on our own terms. Inspired by an email question from someone who was an exception to this rule, I want to share some tips on how to help yourself while asking for sexual help.

This headline is meant to be read to the rhythm of the how-much-wood-can-a-wood-chuck-chuck tongue twister. It's not, technically speaking, a tongue twister but it's definitely a twisted logic that keeps most of us tying our sense of our sexual selves to what we're told other people are like sexually. Sexual norms are, in my opinion, of no value. But don't listen to me, read on and see for yourself whether knowing the average amount of sex other people has actually improves or in any way alters your sex life.
