| No Images? Click here   This week we’re talking about sex, baby. First up: misconceptions you had about sex as a kid. We asked grown men and women to share the funniest things they believed about sex when they were little. Here’s a choice snippet:“I thought if I was in a hot tub the same time as a boy, I would get pregnant. Not having sex or anything like that. Just actually sitting. And on top of that, I just knew if there was a better ratio of girls to boys, it would decrease my odds of getting pregnant. I never got in a hot tub alone with a boy, because, you know — math.” ― Ebony KenneyMoving on to actually doing the deed: This sex position always works, even if you’re feeling really lazy. Here’s how to do it.But what if your partner is in the mood, and you really aren’t? Here’s what sex therapists tell couples with mismatched sex drives. (It happens to most couples over the course of a long-term relationship!)Xo, Ashley Rockman In case you missed it
 Ask an expertA reader writes, “If your significant other is seeing a therapist, is it intrusive to want to talk about what they're discussing in therapy/what they've learned/what insights they're learning about themselves, etc? Is it bad if they don't want to talk to you about anything they're discussing in therapy?”Aaron Anderson, a marriage and family therapist based in Denver, Colorado, answers this week’s question. Here’s what he had to say:“The short answer is that no, it’s not intrusive. In fact, a lot of people in therapy like to have the support of their partners as they’re trying to address matters with a counselor. Yes, the matters they talk about with a therapist are delicate and often they can be sensitive, so when you ask your partner about it, make sure you bring it up in a supportive and non-judgmental way. Make sure they know that you’re asking out of care and concern for them and not out of selfish curiosity. You can ask things like, ‘Would it help you if you talked to me about the things you and your counselor are talking about?’ or ‘Do you feel comfortable talking to me about what you’re talking to your counselor about? I’d love to help if I can.’ That way they know that you’re asking out of concern for them and not just to be nosey.That said, if you ask and they say they don’t want to talk to you about it, then be respectful and don’t push the matter. Counseling is a personal thing and sometimes they’re not ready to talk about it with someone other than a counselor just yet. When that happens, let them know that you’re happy to talk about it when they’re ready and that you’ll be a listening ear when that time comes.”
#TBT  Much like therapists, psychics hear about people’s pressing concerns, and that certainly applies to relationships. In fact, Debra Katz, a psychic and social worker in Los Angeles, told HuffPost that most of the questions she receives from clients have to do with relationships. What types of questions do people ask most frequently? We found out. Links we love:
