 | You've probably had the experience of feeling too tired for sex. Social stereotypes and expectations tell us that men always want sex, women rarely do, and being too tired for sex is just code for being not being that into you. But since we're humans, not stereotypes, it's a bit more complicated for us. This week's newsletter is all about a particular kind of being too tired for sex. It's not the kind of tired that goes away after a good nights sleep. It's the kind that many of us live with day in and day out. It's called fatigue. ~ Cory | |

If this is you, or someone you want to be having sex with, how do you step out of that cycle?
| Sexual Activities for Fatigue

How exactly can you have sex when you are so tired that moving around any more than necessary feels impossible? Here's a list of sexual activities that don't have to be low emotional or sexual impact, even if they are low physical impact.
| Sex Positions for Fatigue
