Where's the sex for the baby boomers?

Times of free love are gone.

New studies show that 24% of the nation's baby boomers are now unhappy with their sex lives.

The questions is... why?
Well, the study shows that there are different expectations of sex and relationships between genders.

Something interesting I found from this study is that while it surveys men and women between the ages of 45 and 65, the gender differences are very similar to that of teens and young adults.

61% of men in the study say that sex is an important part of the relationship.
53% of women say it really doesn't matter.

This study is just another thing making me not look forward to getting older.. :(

More than sex.

So, does it take a candlelit dinner and a walk on the beach to result in intimacy?

If you said yes, tell me again after seeing this post secret.




Sex is healthy and it can be fun and pleasurable, but today I want to digress from sex. Why? Because sex isn't everything. I think people forget sometimes that sex isn't necessary for a relationship to work, especially when you don't have the option of sex.


Whoever posted this secret, I admire greatly. It's hard to love someone in prison, regardless of the circumstances. It's even more difficult to stay with someone when all you have are visits (sometimes just between the glass).

Love is a beautiful thing. If you're not ready, or do not want to have sex, don't.
If he/she is really worth it, they will wait for you.

This person waited.

Safe Sex Series: Getting Tested

One campaign I think is so great for sex, is the GYT MTV campaign.
When they say GYT, they don't just mean get yourself tested, but also, get yourself talking.

Communication is key in being safe. You need to be honest with your partner and also your doctor.

Getting tested is the first step, but it's not the only step.

Before Getting Tested Be completely open with your doctor.
You need to let him/her know:
1. How many partners you've had.
2. If they've had other partners
3. What forms of protection you've used (and they've used)
4. What kinds of sex you have had: Some tests are swabs and physical exams and they need to know what needs to be looked at!
5. Don't be afraid to give details; it will only help assure you.

Getting Tested
1. Cooperate
2. If you want something tested that they do not mention, ask.
3. Tell your partner to get tested as well!

Post-Testing
1. Talk to your doctor
2. Ask Questions
3. Have follow-ups
4. Get Tested if you have unprotected sex

Remember
1. If you have an STD, get treated, and be honest with your partner.
2. Do not participate in risky sexual behavior
3. Get tested regularly- Being tested once, does not mean that the test was 100% accurate. Some STD strains do not show up in tests unless you are having a breakout.

1 in 2 sexually active young people will get an STD by 25---- most won't know it.

iPhone sex

Check this out!

Some Harvard psychologists created an iPhone app to determine what makes people happiest.

The result: sex.

While the study hasn't determined why, it shows that not only are people happiest during sex, but also most focused. Exercise comes in second, but then again, they don't call it sexercise for nothing!

Should sex education exist in schools?

Guttmacher Institute determined through research that STD rates drop in areas where sex education is taught.

With that in mind, why do we hear about more and more teens having kids of their own?

In my opinion, not enough schools teach sex education. There is the debate whether it should be taught or not. A school's purpose is to provide an education and prepare for the future.

Students are often offered courses in money management, home economics, family living.. why not sex education?

They all help prepare for your future.

Even schools that provide sex ed typically start by talking about the body changes in 4th grade and in 6th grade move to STD's.

Schools need to consider how in today's world, teens are having sex at much younger ages. Thus, they need to be educated sooner.

Join in on the debate. What do you think?

Is this really helpful?

I am not promoting this video in a positive light.

This PSA was recently released and unfortunately, it seems to promote Bristol Palin an the Situation more than safe sex.

There needs to be more education available and less SITUATION.
Watch, but then please, do some real educational research.

Supersize, please.

"Hi, Can I get a number 4, hold the lube?"
"That'll be 12.99, please pull up to the first window."

Okay, I'm not exactly sure how it works, but the first Sex-toy Drive-thru service has "sprung up" in Huntsville, Alabama.

Convenience at its finest.

I've been reading through some articles and I'm questioning the convenience. News station WTAG says that in order to comply with Alabama state law, consumers must fill out a questionnaire stating the health purpose for such a purchase.

Filling out the questionnaire may just be more awkward than "sparkly dildo" showing up on your credit card statement.

My question is.. What does a drive thru say about Americans view on sex? I mean, now we don't even have to leave our cars to get a sex toy. Are we that lazy?

You tell me. Is this a good idea?
