Okay, so you're at first base and coming around to second. Now what? As you grow closer and begin to find that the chemistry is percolating, the ultimate relationship question arises, to bed or not to bed?
You like each other. In fact you can say that you are getting closer with each passing day. There's nothing to stand between you, except a fear of intimacy, concern about STD's, a spouse, kids in the next room, and a host of so many other things that get in the way. You feel that it's now or never. "Now" feeling too threatening and "never" feeling like forever.

Dating is a complicated affair.

Everywhere you look it seems that there are people in love. They hold hands, they kiss, they gaze into each others' eyes, they play and most important, they connect.
As an outsider looking in it seems that love must come easily. Love, for the most part, is a natural part of being alive. Connecting to another human being is the hard part. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from, or what your beliefs are, finding someone to love is a job all in itself.
When you finally decide that the search is on, where do you begin? The tried and true method of being set up by a friend or relative on a blind date becomes old and boring like the last 10 dates you were on. Meeting someone at work, that's a possib...

Relationships are based on trust, nurturance, honesty, attraction, devotion, and of course, in most instances, sex. What happens if the sex is interrupted by a medical condition that prevents the ability to be sexually functional?

We are constantly reminded that love is very special and being a lover, a partner, a spouse, or a significant other, is a very special role we play. Hearts and flowers aside, what makes love so special is the intimacy. It's not about being naked with your partner, but about allowing them to see your nakedness with all its flaws.

We can talk about the little flaws, like their annoying snoring or chewing with their mouths open or leaving the toilet seat up or down, but there are bigger fish for us to fry. Changing the way you think and act translate into personal growth and intimacy in...
