Breast Cancer Breast Cancer Symptoms / Diagnosis Treatment Daily Life From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer I've often wondered what caused my cancer, since I had no family history and few risk factors.

About Sexuality: An Extra Day for Sex

If you can't see this email, click here

Sexuality Sexuality Sex Tips Sex Talk Sex Toys From Cory Silverberg, your Guide to Sexuality It's February 29th, leap day. You get an extra day, and even though it may feel like any other Wednesday to you I'd like to recommend that you at least take some time today to think about what you'd do if you had an extra day in the week. Would you really want to work more? Most of us have no choice about how much or little we work. And it can feel like without a choice what's the use in even thinking about what we'd do with extra time. But I think there is a point. And I think when it comes to sex acknowledging (to yourself or to a partner) that you wish you had more time for sex is valuable. Sex is often the first thing to go when we are so busy that we can't do all the things we'd like in a day, a week, or a month. And sometimes that's just the way it has to be. But there's a difference between coping with the knowledge that you'd like things to be diffe rent, and getting to the point where you don't even speak that truth anymore. Few of us will actually feel like today is an extra day. But even if you can't take the day off, maybe you can take a few minutes to reflect on what you would do, sexually, with an extra day, and if you're in a position to do so, share your thoughts with someone who may be in a position to help you make time together. Happy leap day! ~ Cory Leap Day Sex Tip: Mess with your Sex Life February 29th is the perfect time to get out of a sexual rut and change your routine.

The brain may be our greatest sexual organ, but without the heart, our sex lives, just like the rest of our lives, wouldn't exist.
