Curiosity is one of the most curative traits of our humanity. It is this natural and beguiling capacity that defines us through our urge to understand, to explore, and to go beyond our own limits.
The term “go with the flow” is not new. In fact, it was first alluded to by Shakespeare over 400 years ago – and for good reason. Going with the flow of life is one of the most effective ways to create a more relaxed relationship to the events and people surrounding you, while also making you more resilient and adaptable to the ever-present unpredictable nature of life.
Let’s be honest. As much as you try to communicate with your partner about your wishes and desires in the bedroom (and in all other aspects of your life), relationships can be hard. Sometimes, when you’ve been with each other for a long time or you have some extraneous events going on, it can be hard to know where your partner stands.
It has taken me a long time to understand that rest is not the opposite of effort. Rather, it is its source – the literal energetic nourishment necessary for all that we aspire to accomplish. As a life-long doer, resting has never come easily to me.
Consider this my personal invitation to re-invent the idea of gift giving. Instead of all the hours you would spend in seeking, purchasing, wrapping, and giving gifts, use it to offer your presence.
I have been working at the crossroads of gratitude and sex for most of my adult life. As the years pile on in my marriage, I am not only astounded by the longevity of my intimate life, but literally weep with gratitude for every moment I get with my husband.
For the last year since losing Ian my heart was too shattered to feel gratitude. I missed it like the feelings of joy or appreciation of beauty that used to easily transform my day. It wasn’t for lack of trying. I constantly reminded myself of all the many gifts that remained in tact, but I just couldn’t feel it.
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) occurs when there’s an imbalance in the normal bacteria that usually populates the vagina. And while a hormonal imbalance is not typically the primary cause of BV, normal hormonal changes (like those we experience during our period, pregnancy or perimenopause) can be a factor in getting BV.
Life is stressful, and the last thing you want to worry about is how to stay fresh down there all day. But what exactly does it mean to “stay fresh down there?” Our genitals are not exactly our armpits, where we can just put on a scented deodorant and go. Why shouldn’t we use scented vaginal wash products to feel fresh down there all day? The short answer is that the perfumes and fragrances that are often placed in vaginal deodorizers are simply not needed.
If you find that your abdomen hurts after sex, you’re not alone. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), around 75% of women experience painful intercourse at one point or another. This can happen for a variety of reasons and the pain you’re feeling even has a name. In medical circles, it’s called dyspareunia which comes from early Greek meaning “difficulty mating.”
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This October we want to be more than just aware – we want to act. That’s why Good Clean Love has partnered with Keep A Breast Foundation to support their efforts in breast cancer prevention.
One common home remedy for bacterial vaginosis (BV) that is often shared includes using hydrogen peroxide. When using hydrogen peroxide to treat BV, most women either use a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution as a douche or with a tampon.
