QUESTION: I was looking around on the internet and I saw a quote that read “Missionary is not an excuse to do nothing” and I feel like that’s me. I don’t know what to do while my boyfriend and I are having sex and I think I just lay there. What am I supposed to be doing?
Dr. Debby HerbenickA new study has been published that explores the link between male masculinity and sexuality, particularly in regard to erectile dysfunction. The researchers interviewed men around the globe to explains how they define their masculinity. The results were a bit surprising (I know I was surprised) in that they found men do NOT gauge their malehood through […]
SamanthaLast week we posted some information about the human papillomavirus (HPV) and Gardasil, a vaccine that can prevent four strains of HPV that are related to many (but not all) cases of cervical cancer and genital warts.

QUESTION: My girlfriend and I have been in a lesbian relationship for nine months. She had dated several girls before me and had sex with a few of them. She was my first. There was a lot of sex in the beginning of our relationship, but as it progressed the sex has dwindled to being once every two or three weeks. I asked her why, since every time I try to steer us towards sex she demurs or says that I keep trying to make “sex dates” and that that is unromantic. She said that our lovemaking was getting monotonous (she always asks for the strap-on). I disagree and I think that sexual intimacy is a very important part of a relationship. I don’t know how to convince her that lovemaking can never get monotonous. Do you have any advice?
Dr. Debby HerbenickYou may have heard about the "HPV vaccine" or the "cervical cancer vaccine". Both names are a little overblown only because there is no vaccine that can prevent against all strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) nor is there any vaccine that can prevent all cases of cervical cancer. But we are certainly getting closer! […]
Dr. Debby HerbenickIt seems to me that our generation understands - for the most part - that it tends to be more difficult for many women to achieve orgasms than men. But for some women, it's actually the complete opposite. Dr. Sandra Leiblum has done some research on PSAS, or Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome. Some women with […]
