Understanding female sexual response is not all that big a mystery if men just internalize one of the cardinal concepts of female sexuality: A woman is much more likely to be sexually responsive to her partner if she doesn’t feel like his mother. There, I said it. So what does this have to do with [...]
If you’ve recently been living under a rock, you might have missed the news about the first FDA-cleared birth control app that purports to allow you to prevent pregnancy by telling you when you are safe for unprotected intercourse. I’m loath to mention its name, however, for fear that women will run out and download it [...]
I am always so impressed by my many readers over the years who have shared with me ways in which they have been able to diagnose medical issues through charting their cycles. I’ve chosen just one for now, but will share more in the future. A couple of weeks ago, Kisha wrote me that she [...]
I’ll never forget the surprising comment my mom made one sunny afternoon when I was about 15 years old. It had been one of those days when everything was going wrong, and I was feeling pretty cranky. To top it off, I had my period and was dealing with major cramps, so I was hardly [...]
I’ll be honest. I’m a weenie. Oh sure, I may seem like I have my act together, but if truth be told, there’s a valid reason I chose to not have children. Don’t get me wrong. I love, love, love kids. I love their pudgy little legs when they are just infants, and their Frankenstein [...]
I’m not gonna’ lie. I’m not a huge fan of speculums. Years ago when I taught my Fertility Awareness seminars, one of the things I used to do for giggles was to ask everyone in the room to close their eyes as I screwed open a speculum, just to see how long it took to hear the [...]
Who doesn’t love the wafting aroma of yams, cornbread dressing, and a sage-buttered turkey roasting? Actually, come to think of it, vegetarians don’t. Well maybe the only thing more divisive than what to eat at Thanksgiving is, you guessed it, what you can discuss. And boy will this year’s political scandals challenge even the most [...]
Anyone who has spent time with me knows that I am obsessed with identicals—identical twins, triplets, quads, you name it. And while it doesn’t directly relate to fertility, my obsession is serious enough that I’m sure if push came to shove, I could make a pretty compelling case for why every fertility book should have a full chapter devoted [...]
When I was growing up during the Flower-Child 60s, let’s just say that sanitary pads were a tad different than they are today. For starters, they had long thin gauze tails on each end that we ever-so- delicately threaded through a sanitary belt! Yup, a sexy little elastic number that we wore around our waists and hoped to God [...]
I’m not going to lie. My first year in Seattle over 30 years ago was hell. I arrived not knowing a soul, with no job and no prospects, and oh yeah, no housing or transportation. But I somehow convinced myself that my passion for disseminating the incredible value of the Fertility Awareness Method would be enough to sustain me. [...]
