Hormones and Sex: What You Need to Know

Posted on Friday, February 17th, 2012

I’m not a doctor by any stretch of the imagination, but I am a wife who happens to read a lot about sex (not to mention have a lot of sex).

So I guess those things give me a little bit of wisdom to discuss this whole matter of hormones and how they impact sexual intimacy.

Birth Control. Sheila Gregoire. And a Conversation You Don’t Want to Miss.

Posted on Wednesday, November 9th, 2011
