A few products that will improve your quality of life: The Roomba, Rose Toy, and retinol. If you’re into fitness, another purchase might make your list: creatine. The supplement—which is all over social media—does have the power to help your strength gains. But what even is it?
“Creatine is basically a battery booster for your body and muscles,” according to exercise physiologist and registered dietician Jim White, ACSM-EP, CPT, RDN. The human body makes creatine, but supplementing with the c...

Always having sex in the same ‘ole sex position for women can get old faster than, well, an unrefrigerated avocado. Sure, sex positions might have a shelf life that’s a smidge longer than the infamous vegetable-that's-actually-a-fruit, but always shaking sheets in the same shape is guaranteed to land you in a sex rut—not to mention short you of the pleasure potential of getting...

TALK THERAPY CAN be an important, often essential piece of the healing puzzle—but when chatting no longer cuts it, a therapeutic modality that involves physical contact might be in order. Enter: Surrogate partner therapy.
“Surrogate work brings the body into the conversation,” says Court Vox, a surrogate partner who has been practicing since 2019 and is certified by The International Professional Surrogates Association (IPSA), the most prominent professional association for surrogate partners...

If you’re seriously into fitness, you load your gym bag with protein bars, your barbells with weight plates, and your body with creatine. It’s just what you do. Yet while pretty much every bodybuilder takes creatine to gain a muscle-building advantage, not everyone agrees on the right way to go about it.
One of the most long-held beliefs about creatine supplementation is that you should start with a “loading phase.” For the uninitiated, “a creatine loading phase involves ingesting 20 to 25 gr...

Close your eyes, and picture this. It’s Tuesday night. Your partner reaches for you in bed. You know exactly what’s about to happen, right? You’ll make out for a bit, then clothes will come off. Hands here, tongues there, followed by five minutes of standard-issue missionary, cowgirl, or doggy. Collapse, sleep, and repeat.
It’s satisfying, but after approximately 500 times, it’s only natural to w...

The idea of living a longer life is alluring to just about anyone—assuming it’s a healthy one, that is. Unfortunately, at 78.6, the average life expectancy in the United States is lower now than a decade ago. The causes of this decline (as well as the U.S.’s comparatively low average life expectancy), include poor lifestyle habits and higher rates of heart and chronic diseases, according to the American Medical Association. But just because average lifespan is currently lagging doesn’t mean y...

Even though vaginal dryness is a normal symptom of perimenopause and menopause, it can still be frustrating and painful.
First, let’s break down why it happens. “Menopause brings about a significant hormonal shift,” including a drop in estrogen production, Amanda Olson, DPT, a physical therapist who specializes in pelvic floor and sexual health and the author of Restoring The Pelvic Floor, tells SELF. “Estrogen plays a critical role in natural lubrication, vaginal tissue elasticity, and blood...

In the wildly sexy flick Challengers, Zendaya’s character, Tashi Duncan, isn’t really attracted to Art Donaldson (Mike Faist) or Patrick Zweig (John O’Connor) as individuals. Rather, she gets off on the unique chemistry, charism, and history between the two wannabe tennis stars. She is, for all intents and purposes, symbiosexual—and if you’ve ever felt your chest swell, cheeks flush, or genitals pulse while chatting up, staring at, or swiping on a couple... you may be, too.
Symbiosexuality is...

The rampantness of sex negativity in our society—often fueled by poor sex education—is, to put it mildly, a bummer. Amongst many coital consequences, this attitude results in sex-havers struggling to communicate their wants, desires, and limits. "Add in gender norms, media portrayals of sex, and fear of judgement, and you've got a perfect storm that keeps folks disconnected fro...

The hot girl and brat summer trends may depict summer as the season of sexual quantity—and certainly, there is no shortage of vitamin D. But the romance and commitment of unofficial (cuffing season) and official (Valentine’s Day) celebrations that mark the colder months, suggest winter is the time of sexual quality.
