IN COLLABORATION WTIH BEEHIIV

Good Morning, Start Over Daily Community! It’s Tuesday, the unsung hero of the week. Not as groggy as Monday, yet not quite at the zenith of Wednesday's “hump day” fame. But hey, we love an underdog, don’t we?

In the spirit of giving Tuesdays the love they deserve, let's talk about something equally underrated but oh-so-important: sexual health. Yep, you heard right. Just as important as nutrition and exercise, sexual health plays a vital role in your overall well-being.

So, let’s break the taboos, embrace the spice, and get real about something that affects us all. Why? Because starting over isn’t just for the big life changes. It's for the little things too. Like understanding your body better and making choices that make you feel fabulous.

The Power of Sexual Health

Sexual health is about more than just the physical aspect; it encompasses emotional, mental, and social well-being in relation to sexuality. It requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, free from coercion, discrimination, and violence.

Why It Matters

  • Physical Health - Regular sexual activity has been linked to various health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, a stronger immune system, and reduced stress.

  • Emotional Connection - Sexual intimacy fosters emotional closeness and bonding, which can enhance relationship satisfaction and stability.

  • Self-Esteem and Confidence - A healthy sexual relationship can boost self-esteem and confidence, contributing to a more positive self-image.

DAILY TIPS

Get Your Groove Back: Sexual Health Hacks for Everyday Life

Ever wonder why some days you feel like a superstar in the bedroom and other days you're more like a sleepy sloth? Well, just like your favorite playlist, it needs a bit of tuning and TLC. Here are three tips to keep your sexual health hitting those high notes:

  1. Stay Hydrated: Water isn't just good for your skin; it's a game-changer for your sexual health. Dehydration can lead to fatigue, which is the ultimate mood killer. So, drink up and keep the energy flowing.

  2. Move That Body: Regular exercise increases blood flow, which is crucial for arousal. Plus, who doesn't love feeling a bit more confident about their body? Whether it's yoga, running, or a spontaneous dance-off in the kitchen, just get moving!

  3. Communicate: Talk about your desires and boundaries with your partner. It might feel awkward at first, but clear communication leads to better intimacy and fewer misunderstandings. And no, "Do you like it?" doesn't count as deep communication.

FACT OR MYTH?

Busting the "More is Better" Myth!

Let’s clear up one of the most talked-about myths out there:

Myth: The more sex you have, the healthier you are.

Sounds good, right? Who wouldn’t want a prescription for more fun? But hold your horses!

Fact: Quality trumps quantity when it comes to sexual health. Having more sex doesn’t automatically mean better health. In fact, the key is quality over quantity. Emotional connection, mutual satisfaction, and consent are the real MVPs here.

Sexual health isn’t a numbers game. It’s about enjoying the experience and fostering intimacy. So, let’s debunk this myth once and for all!

But don’t just take our word for it—what do you think?

START OVER KITTY’S RECOMMENDATION

Spice Up Your Shelf

Ever wondered what a New York Times bestseller on sexual health could teach you? Well, wonder no more!

“Come as You Are” by Emily Nagoski is not just another self-help book. It’s the bible of understanding what makes your engine purr.

Why is it a must-read?

Nagoski dives deep into the science of sexual wellbeing and unravels mysteries your high school health class definitely skipped over. It blends research with real-life anecdotes, making it informative yet incredibly relatable. You’ll walk away with knowledge to revolutionize your love life, and maybe even impress at dinner parties.

And if you think science can’t be funny, here’s a little teaser from the book:

"Imagine your sexual response mechanism as a car. Sometimes you hit the gas, sometimes you hit the brakes, and sometimes you’re stuck in neutral wondering why your car isn’t going anywhere."

Trust us, this book will leave you saying, “Oh, so that’s why!” more times than you can count.
