For Women, Sex Gets Better With Age—Right, Betty White?

As women age, their sexual desire declines -- but they're still incredibly satisfied in the bedroom.

Can You Accept Him For Who He Is and Still Get Your Needs Met In the Relationship?

Is it possible to get what you need emotionally and sexually in a relationship with your man while still accepting him entirely for who he is? Yes.

Does "Doing Your Kegels" Lead To Hotter Sex?

Pull your pelvic muscles in, then release. In, then release. Feel calmer yet?

On top of helping with urinary incontinence later in life, keeping your lady parts nice and taut, and making childbirth smoother, I'm sure you've also heard that Kegels are a great way to keep your sex life in tip-top shape. And if you can incorporate them into your between-the-sheets routine (or non-routine, wink), you're making the experience even more intense for both parties — or so they say.

Study: The Older A Woman, The More She Enjoys Sex

The older, the better? You bet! A recent study found that as time progresses in a relationship, women become more satisfied with the sex — while men become more satisfied with the relationship as a whole. In fact, it takes 25 years in a long-term relationship for sex to begin predicting how happy women are with said relationship. Crazy, right? Hey, for a lot of us, that's a long way off!

Study: Empathic Men Are Better Lovers

When it comes to sex, empathy helps guys do it better.

Conventional dating wisdom may claim that women think with their heads while men think with their man-parts, but new research from Johns Hopkins suggests that we're being a little harsh on the male species.
