What You Should Know About Premature Ejaculation
Earlier this week the BBC noted the results of a recent study suggesting that premature ejaculation, long thought to be a psychological disorder, may actually be genetic. According to the article, the men in the study who suffered from premature ejaculation had a variation of the gene that regulates serotonin levels — the hormone that controls, among other things, mood, appetite, and the speed at which ejaculation occurs.
And while this information will eventually help researchers create an effective treatment, for now there is no medication, leaving many couples searching for solutions to something that is often a serious detriment to a satisfying sex life.

Pull and Pray - NOT Good Birth Control
Being in a monogamous sexual relationship can be one of life's greatest pleasures, especially when you have both been tested for STIs and you know that you are disease-free. That means you don't have to use condoms when you have sex, but you do need to use another form of birth control if you don't want to get pregnant.
It's been brought to my attention that some couples are using the Pull and Pray Method, also known as Withdrawal.

Sperm Facts Every Woman Should Know
Sperm, as teeny weeny as they are, can affect us in a HUGE way. There are about 200-500 million of those little guys in the average amount of semen produced each time a man ejaculates.
- Sperm are produced in the (Ladies, we've got to arm ourselves with knowledge so we can overcome the mighty sperm) man's testes - it takes 10 weeks for a single soldier to reach maturity.
- Mature sperm can wait up to 2 weeks for their big day - they hang out in the epididymis - the coil like structure that runs across the top of each testicle.
- If they are not ejaculated, those poor little sperms are broken down and reabsorbed by the body.
