The usual response from experts is something like: "It depends. Some couples are content with once a month while others desire that close contact several times a week. Whatever amount keeps you both satisfied is sufficient."

Scent Of A Woman
“Legs. I don’t care if they’re Greek columns, or second-hand Steinways, but what’s between them… passport to heaven”. (Al Pacino as Lt. Col. Frank Slade, Scent of a Woman, 1992).
Every woman has a signature scent. It’s her own unique perfume produced by the healthy flora (bacteria) that live in her reproductive zone and keep her system in balance. Just to clarify, this is all part of a woman’s natural freshening process and means that the vagina is kept clean by nature and is not, as some soap companies will have you think, a dirty place, in need of fake fragrances.

Yes, it’s true: Not all women need a Pap smear
By Dr. Diana Sarmiento, The Blogging Doc | Yahoo! SHE
If you’ve ever had a Pap smear, you know that the experience of lying on a cold examining bed half-naked can be very unpleasant.
With your genital area exposed, a doctor inserts an instrument called a speculum in your vagina and scrapes off some cells from the cervix. These cells are sent to the laboratory to screen for the earliest sign of cervical cancer, the third leading cause of death in women.
Introduced 60 years ago, the Pap smear remains the mainstay when it comes to the early diagnosis of the disease.
If you are one of those women who have been putting off your doctor's visit because you dread the pap smear, the October 17, 2011 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine suggests that women younger than 20 and older than 65 do not need a Pap smear.
A review of multiple studies and trials showed that there is no improvement in detecting cervical cancer for the mentioned age groups. In addition, the incidence of cancer in women under 20 is rare.

Why France Pays for Postpartum Women to “Re-Educate” their Vagina
In France, Social Security funds la rééducation périnéale, up to 20 sessions of physical therapy intended to firm and tone the postnatal pelvic floor. The humiliation is apparently worth it.
France has been in the parenting headlines a good bit lately.
First there was the release of Bringing Up Bébé, a treatise on why French kids are better eaters and sleepers, more well-mannered and less prone to meltdowns than American children. Author Pamela Druckerman built the case that France knows a thing or two about raising children that U.S. parents have yet to grasp.
Post-Natal Care In France: How I Got My Vagina Back In Shape
By Claire Lundberg
Shortly after my husband and I moved to Paris, I became pregnant, which was a relief, because I would get fat for a legitimate biological reason, not just because of all the pain au chocolat. When I gave birth to our daughter last November, my husband and I spent five government-sponsored days in the maternity ward at Clinique Leonardo Da Vinci, where we learned that French hospital meals come with a cheese course and that as part of my postpartum treatment I would be prescribed 10 to 20 sessions of la rééducation périnéale. This is a kind of physical therapy designed to retrain the muscles of the pelvic floor, including the vagina, and is one of the cornerstones of French postnatal care. Two months after our daughter was born, I summoned the courage to teach my vagina some new tricks.
Last week I began re-educating my vagina.
Let me explain: I live in France.

10 of the raunchiest world records
Biggest orgy
Is Japan one of the horniest nations? It’s quite possible. They have an anuual fertility festival that celebrates the penis, the world’s favourite sex toy – the rampant rabbit – was designed and produced in Japan, and now they also hold the world record for having the biggest orgy ever. 250 Japanese men and 250 Japanese women had sex in a warehouse at the same time. They’ve even released a DVD.
Longest smooch
Pucker up guys and girls and get ready for this shocking record: the longest kiss lasted a whopping 46 hours and 24 minutes. The contestants had to kiss continuously, with their lips touching at all times. Toilet breaks weren’t even permitted. The couple who locked lips longest was Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat from Thailand, Pattaya. And were the chapped lips worth it? Well, the couple not only gained a world record they also won a diamond ring and 100,000 baht.
Biggest boobs
Fancy carrying an extra 8 stone in weight around with you? We thought not. This is the cost of having the world’s biggest, natural boobs. The bad boys belong to 52 year-old Annie Hawkins-Turner (aka Norma Stitz) who wears a size 102ZZZ bra. Annie’s under breast measurement is 109.22cm and her around chest-over-nipple measurement is 177.8cm. The world’s largest, surgically enhanced boobs belong to porn star Chelsea Charms who wears a 164XXX bra.
Oldest prostitute
Apparently the age of retirement is a little later for prostitution than most other occupations. The oldest working “Roxanne” known to the authorities is Chiu, who recently celebrated her 82nd birthday. Chiu began working the streets 40 years ago and has been working in Tai Pei ever since. Chiu has been working for so long she’s acquired a nickname – grandma. Unfortunately for Chiu, ageing prostitutes don’t feature much in men’s sexual fantasies and her rates have had to be radically reduced in recent years.
Strongest vagina
For those of you who thought women weren’t tough, you must not have heard of Tatiata Kozhevnikova, a 42-year old Russian mother. Tatiata may appear normal, but it turns out she likes lifting weights... with her lady parts. Tatiata suffered from weak pelvic muscles after the birth of her first child and tried lots of things before reading about women who used wooden balls to strengthen their weakened area. These days Tatiata can pump some serious iron, lifting 14 kilograms worth of weights.
Most bras removed in one minute
The awkward fumble and the disappointment felt when a guy can’t undo a girl’s bra is one devastating social scenario that quick fingered Chris Nicholson must never have experienced. Chris proudly holds the record of removing the most bras in one minute. Chris managed to whip off 20 bras, using just one hand. That means Chris was able to remove one bra every three seconds. He believes that his career as a magician helped him overcome the bra challenge; who knew magic could be so sexy.
Biggest nude wedding
Your wedding is the most romantic day of your life; at least it is for some. For others it’s a chance to ditch the confines of your clothes and find a little easy fame. In 2003 29 couples chose to get married in Jamaica at a club called Hedonism III. The mass wedding group exchanged their vows on Valentine’s Day completely in the nude. The brides were completely in the buff except for a veil. Can you imagine the wedding photographs?
Biggest penis
Most men want to be bigger or at the very least a little better endowed down there, but Jonah Falcon is one man who has never felt ashamed by his manhood. Mr Falcon is the owner of the world’s largest human penis. His massive member measures an incredible 13.5 inches or 34.29cm; that’s longer than the average wine bottle. Jonah says that size isn’t everything and he seems to be right because Jonah still lives at home.
Most orgasms
A lot of women struggle to reach the pillow-biting big O, but for one lucky woman orgasms come easy. An anonymous lady was said to have 134 orgasms in one hour. She was recorded by two doctors William Hartman and Marilyn Fithian. By having 134 orgasms in just one hour it means that this girl had at least one orgasm every 2 minutes. However, another researcher has claimed that he has found one woman who could have 20 orgasms within 20 minutes.
Most castrations
If you’re squeamish, look away now. In 1300BC King Menephta defeated the Libyans in a huge battle. As a celebration against those he defeated he castrated the beaten army and cut off 13,000 penises. The list details that six Generals, 222 Sirculian Soldiers, 542 Etruscans, 6,111 Greek soldiers and 6,359 Libyan men all lost their members. We’re so glad that defeats are no longer celebrated in this way.

Gravity and Its Effects on Women
By Amy S. D. Lee, MS, WHCRNP, Nurse Practitioner
When I start thinking about how the force of gravity tugs and pulls on the female body, I usually reflect on the various parts of me that I can see have begun to sag!
Unfortunately, gravity can cause some of our organs, such as the uterus, to fall down or slip out of place. But there are ways to handle this condition, which we in medicine commonly refer to by the catchall term, prolapse. Prolapse literally means "to fall out of place," and it affects the vagina and the bladder as well.
What is prolapse?
Prolapse is a condition in which the pelvic organs begin to sag into, and even out of, the vagina. There are varying degrees of severity of prolapse, and the severity of the symptoms a woman will experience are usually related to the degree or extent of the prolapse.
Women who have never had children may have prolapse, but it's more common in women who have had vaginal deliveries. Other factors contributing to prolapse include
- older age
- heavier weight
- constipation
- prolonged cough
- pelvic tumors (like heavy uterine fibroids)
- perhaps a genetic predisposition
Common Symptoms of Prolapse
- pelvic pressure
- feeling of vaginal fullness
- leakage of urine
- pain with sex
- constipation (both a cause and a symptom)
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of mild prolapse can be made during a pelvic exam at your GYN visit. A more severe prolapse sometimes will become evident when the pelvic organs can be seen or felt protruding from the vagina. Your healthcare provider should then confirm the diagnosis with a pelvic exam.
While it can be quite alarming to discover that you have prolapse, it’s usually a pretty benign condition that can be corrected.
Treatment
Treatment of a prolapse often depends on the severity of both the prolapse and the symptoms. Mild prolapse can often be treated with vaginal topical estrogen andvaginal exercises (Kegel exercises), both of which strengthen the vaginal walls. Other tactics for treating milder prolapses include avoiding heavy lifting and avoiding caffeine (which acts as a diuretic).
More severe prolapse can be treated with a device called a pessary. Pessaries come in a variety of designs and are fitted by your healthcare provider. They stay in the vagina and lift the organs back into normal position. (No, you can't feel them.)
Last, the most severe cases of prolapse can be addressed with surgery. Severe uterine prolapse may require a hysterectomy, followed by repair of the vaginal muscles to lift the bladder back into position. There are also surgical procedures that can be done to suspend the bladder to or from other parts of the abdomen. Women who do not plan to ever be sexually active again may choose to have a procedure that closes the vagina, thereby lifting the organs into place and preventing them from falling back down.
What if you think you have prolapse?
The first thing ALL women should be doing--whether they have a prolapse condition or not--is the Kegel exercises. We should start doing them early (even as teens and young adults) to keep the vaginal muscles strong. Practice by squeezing the vaginal muscles (like starting and stopping the stream of urine) 10 times at least 10 times per day. If you are concerned that you have prolapse, or are at risk of prolapse, discuss your situation with your healthcare provider. Early intervention is an important part of prevention.
