Status Updates From Naked at Our Age: Talking O...

I don’t remember what I was rushing to that day, but I do remember every moment in Robert’s arms, the feel of his chest against my face, and his body leading mine until our rhythms melted into one being…I narrate this special moment to remind you to take time with your lover…and never take for granted that there will always be time later on. There won’t. Now is all we have.

But everyone grieves and heals differently. Some jump quickly into a new relationship; others never do. Most date again, and many find new loves. Some never feel they’re ready. As grief counselors assured me, whatever you’re feeling is normal. Whatever you’re doing about it—or not doing about it—is normal. Feeling sexy is normal. Not feeling sexy is normal. Not knowing what you feel is normal.

People who enjoy one to three orgasms per week reduce their risk of mild-to-moderate depression by 30 percent. • Your immune system will get a boost. People who enjoy one to three orgasms per week have a reduced incidence of colds and other viruses. • Your risk of heart disease will be decreased. A study found that the risk of heart disease was reduced by 36 percent with at least one orgasm per week.
