The Health Benefits of Orgasms with Dr. Laurie Mintz

Sexual wellness is an often overlooked topic, and the same goes for orgasms. I’ve never believed that sex should be an off-limits topic for people who want to discuss it, as demonstrated by the series on sex I did with Dr. Juliana Hauser (you can find Part One here and Part Two here), my post on the importance of a healthy sex life for aging, an interview I did with a sex expert about low libido, etc.

Why Maintaining A Healthy Sex Life Is The Key To Feeling Younger

What does it mean to “feel younger?” To me, it has very little to do with looks. The way I see it, feeling younger means having the energy, attitude, and passion for life that I had in my younger years. It’s a feeling and a mindset, not an appearance or specific look.
