Love and sex are wonderful on their own, but greater than the sum of their parts when combined! Almost anyone can have sex, not everyone can fall in love. Touching bodies is lust, touching souls is love. True love is about caring for another person and putting that person's happiness above your own. It's about feeling comfortable enough with each other to fully share your wants and desires. So, when you can share your love and life together and be faithful to one another, then you have found true love. Sex will come later when both parties are ready. Love weathers the test of time, failing health and life's challenges. Sex may fade or end but, true love endures and will carry a couple through, together in the face of all adversity.

    Sexual abstinence is a choice to refrain from sexual activity. This choice is usually made for a specific reason. The reason may be moral, religious, legal, or for health and safety. Practicing abstinence does not mean you can't or don't have sexual feelings. Just because you choose not to have sex doesn't mean you can't date, have feelings for another person, find somebody incredibly sexy or be in a serious relationship. You can still be emotionally and physically intimate with your partner and not have sexual intercourse. In fact, exploring different physical ways to bring sexual pleasure to yourself and your partner without having intercourse can not only help couples become more intimate, but it can help you learn more about yourself sexually. Again, it's up to you to decide what you want to do and experience.

If we are to believe what we read in the magazines, see on TV, or hear on the radio, there is NO reason to wait for sex. Sex, as portrayed by the media, is as essential for life as eating and breathing. Go without sex? Why? How? Is it even possible? No way! The TRUTH is, sex is NOT essential for life, and there are some very good reasons to wait! STDs, HIV/AIDS, unplanned pregnancies - all of these would not be the problems they are today had it not been for the "sexual revolution" of the ' 60s.

Before the 1960s, saving sex for marriage was "the norm" - it's what was expected - and virginity was valued. Even today, in almost every culture around the world, remaining a virgin until marriage is expected. Sadly, in our culture, "virginity" is considered archaic, and...more

New research suggests that one out of four men over 30 have low testosterone levels, but only one out of every 20 men have clinical symptoms linked to such a deficiency.

As men age, they are more likely to experience symptoms such as lack of sex drive and erectile dysfunction as a result of low levels of testosterone, the researchers explain.

Low testosterone is defined as 300ng/dL (nanograms per deciliter) of total testosterone and less than 5 ng/dL of free testosterone. Free testosterone is the amount of hormone not bound to other proteins.

Low testosterone can indicate androgen deficiency if it is accompanied by low sex drive, erectile...more
