Let's just get right into this, masturbation.... What illnesses can masturbation help prevent in a women's life. For instance in a man's life masturbation helps prevent prostate cancer, stress, mental anguish, anger management, anxiety, depression in some cases, now downfalls of masturbation would include but not limited to early ejaculation not premature ejaculation but early ejaculation like under 5 minutes. So basically I just want to know since there are being experiments done with mens masturbation are there being experiments done with women's masturbation for the means of science like lower risk of breast cancer or cervical cancer. 🙂

Now of course this is all in the absence of a relationship or marriage or in the absence of sex for that matter. So what I'm getting at is, which is something that has not been understood in the past when it comes to sex, is that sex is not only good for you mentally but it is also extremely healthy and can help prevent many bodily illnesses throughout ones life.

AI! Have you seen Jeremy Faust’s latest on AI? It told him OCPs were r/t chostocondritis with (sort of) references. https://open.substack.com/pub/insidemedicine/p/fun-with-openai-medical-charting?r=58lc2&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

I’ve been in the women’s healthy aging group for eight years and we talk about all issues around aging. This week one of the women in the group who is 78 has a potential new boyfriend! Of course, the topic of conversation was sex. We discussed the question of whether the lack of desire was related to hormones and what could be expected after decades of no sex. I said my go to was the Vajenda but haven’t found anything that relates to our discussion to send. Have you done a deep dive into sex for women well into menopause - myth, facts, what to expect?

I am so so happy to see all this information. I have felt so alone during my pre and post menopausal life. I am 54, started proper menopause at 45, post menopausal ny blood work but still having major issues.

This is wonderful. Thank you for putting this together. I love the name “Dodge”. I found a menopause specialist and it has made such a huge difference. So many of my friends are very interested in my menopause specialist. Looking forward to learning more.

ok, over the next year I plan to ask you so many questions that I hope to make your head spin. Not only am I here for the sex and the science but those two topics happen to be my two favorite things to discuss and conversate about, so as you say I'll stay for both.
