From birth control pills to intrauterine devices (IUDs) to tracking your cycle, there are a slew of methods you can use to prevent pregnancy. But there's a reason why condoms have managed to stand the test of time. The first rubber condoms debuted in 1858, and today, they're still a go-to for a majority of sexually active people. In fact, the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data notes that nearly 60 percent of women and over 56 percent of men used only a condom and no other method during last intercourse in the past 12 months. But are they as reliable as they are popular?
It's seemingly taken over the dating space as of late, but what actually is it?
All of us – no matter how easy-going or “low-maintenance” – have boundaries. We have boundaries around things we won’t do sexually, ways we don’t want to be spoken to, activities we don’t want to do with friends, projects we don’t have the time or energy for, tasks we don’t feel comfortable doing at work, roles we won’t take on with people.
But once a friend responded to one of my many articles about setting boundaries with a question that stumped me: What if we don’t know what our boundaries are?
More and more, people over 50 are dating every year. We are still having sex, falling in love, and working out relationships with each other
In short, maybe! Your genetic makeup is one of several factors that could influence your sexual interests.
