Friend, it’s time we talk about your prostate. You know I am passionate about and share educational information on women’s sexual and reproductive health and today I would like to take a moment to address men’s sexual and reproductive health. Most are aware that the prostate is a walnut-sized and shaped gland located below the bladder at the root of the penis, which can be stimulated from the anterior rectal wall- but not of its contributions to sexual health and function.... The prostate functions to produce the fluids that form semen which transport and nourish sperm. Stimulation of the muscles of the prostate ensures that during ejaculation the semen is forcefully moved into the urethra and outward. The healthier and more stimulated the prostate the stronger the ejaculatory sensation a man is likely to be able to experience. Manual prostate massage and prostate stimulators are two basic tools that men may choose to utilize if they wish to practice prostate stimulation. Prostatic stimulation may help ease inflammation while also relieving unnecessary pressure from the urethra. Prostate stimulation may also help increase sexual arousal, enhance the quality of one's erection, and, as noted above, may help enhance the experience of the ejaculatory response. Along with a healthy diet and exercise, regular stimulation of the prostate may help reduce the risk of experiencing an imbalanced or unhealthy prostate which can lead to decreased sex drive as well as decreased sexual satisfaction and even erectile dysfunction. Please note that the tissue of the rectum is delicate and vulnerable to cuts, tears, and other such abrasions. It is important to use lubrication and to not stimulate the prostate or rectal tissues too vigorously to avoid cuts and bleeding as this could possibly lead to infection or aggravate hemorrhoids. If you have anal sores or fissures, you should not practice prostate stimulation till these have healed and, as always, consult your chosen professional health advisor. If you are interested in purchasing a prostate stimulator for yourself or your partner, I recommend checking out the Yoni Pleasure Palace Prostate Massager, it is perfect for men or women! The YPP Prostate Massager comes in clear glass or crystal rose quartz! Remember, your commitment to your sexual health and satisfaction benefits not just you but your partner too! . . . .

Blessed Women's Day

Happy first day of December! Can you believe Christmas is just 24 days away? I know that I can hardly believe it myself; this year has been a wild ride to say the least, and it feel like such an accomplishment to be so close to the end of this calendar year, am I right? So let’s do a quick check in as the holiday season craziness begins. Remaining mindful throughout the day of how your are feeling can allow you to remain calm and in control of your emotions when interacting w...ith those around you, rather than allowing your emotions to consume and rule over you. Take a deep breath, center yourself, listen to your heart, and comment with your answers to these statements: I feel... I need... I forgive... I celebrate... I release... I trust... Be well, healthy families build healthy communities!

I hope you day was a peaceful as this sleeping little one right here! I pray that your heart be full and you smile grand That laughter ring in your ears... and that you hold joy in your hands. I would love to hear you share what l you are thankful for and how you celebrated your blessings today. I feel that 2020 is the year we should each have a long list of things that we are mindful of and thankful for, do you agree? Be well, healthy families build healthy communities! : Photo by my favorite North County family photog @olgakubrakphotography!

When you vote with honesty and integrity your vote is not wasted. Talking with my partner this morning I shared with him that I felt I voted in the way that best serviced our family, community, and country and that is all I can do, give my best intention with this small action- in hopes that I am contributing to something greater. I trust that All will align as divinely willed for the highest good and growth of humanity and spirit; even if I do not understand. Be well, take time for yourself and rest today, healthy families build healthy communities.
