Sex is a powerful tool. It's an act that you have the right to exercise when you see fit. When you're in a relationship, though, sex becomes a special bond that connects you with your partner.
With one of the world's lowest birth rates, it's not the first time the Japanese government has tried to get in bed with the people. In the '90s,
a government-organized dating program failed to produce results — and, yes, by results I mean babies. But now it's turning to the already-married business class, hoping they'll have more children if employers ensure they're home in time for sex.
Women have many birth control options ranging from
The Pill to the
IUCs, but men can only rely on condoms to prevent pregnancy. There is another more invasive option though — a
vasectomy. Although this seems like a procedure for older men, it turns out that more and more
young men are opting for this minor surgery.
I'm so excited to tell you that intimacy expert, author and founder of PureRomance.com, Patty Brisben, is joining forces with DearSugar to help us keep the fire burning in our relationships throughout one of the most stressful times of year — the

As we all know, different types of
food have an effect on the libido; this is something especially important to watch over the holidays when many of us over-eat. People tend to be emotional eaters and the holidays are without a doubt an emotional time; better to stock your shelves with some healthy snacks to choose from!
Sex may not be the first thing on a new mom's mind, but it certainly isn't the last. A whopping
19 percent of lilsugar mothers said they had sex before they were even six weeks postpartum. And most hot mamas weren't far behind, so I've rounded up a few of our favorite ways to bring sexy back for the women with children who still need a nudge.
Sex is the last thing on a mom's mind after giving birth,
but the subject is sure to come up. Most doctors suggest waiting until after the six-week postpartum appointment to ensure that the cervix is completely closed and the uterus has returned to its pre-baby size. Did you follow the doctor's orders, or did you get busy sooner?
Whether you lost your virginity when you were 14 or 24, I'm sure many of you hold that memory close to your heart. It may not have been as glamorous or enjoyable as you dreamed it would be, but nothing can make you forget how it went down. Since I've heard my fair share of virginity stories, I've come up with a list of 10 common places where people get it on for the first time.
Over the weekend I asked you all to tell me
how important sex is in your relationship, and I was surprised to see that it's an infrequent act for many of you. Sure, once the honeymoon period subsides, it's normal for that initial lust to die down, but if you're not connecting physically, there must be other ways you stay in tune with one another. So ladies, tell me, how do you keep the fire, passion, and intimacy alive in your relationship when you're not getting it on?
It might not be our best look, but we all have one: an orgasm face! Even if you've never seen your own, chances are you've seen your partner's — that unique mixture of deep concentration, relaxation, and release. But like I said, it's not always pretty, which could pose a problem while you're in the act of love-making.
Date rape is more common than you might think, and statistics show that
one in six women will be sexually assaulted in a lifetime. Of those assaults, only 19 percent are reported to the police, which is why
