I’m embarrassed by my problem, and I really can’t talk to the bishop about it. I have a medical problem, due to my age, 62, and my doctor has recommended Kegel exercises. Well, I’ve discovered that those exercises cause me to orgasm. In a temple recommend interview, my bishop said masturbation is wrong. My question is, since Kegels causes orgasm, is it a form of masturbation, and should I not do them? I am single, and living in celibacy as... Read more
I have been reading through your blog and HIGHLY enjoying it! I’ve already sent off 3 links to my husband to read (on sex, and on parenting as well). I think its going to be very beneficial for us. One topic that has been concerning me of late, is how to have the “sex talk” with our children. We have a soon-to-be 9yo and a 7yo and I *know* I need to address it, but am hesitant because 1) I...
