You don't have to have a man! Masturbation is especially useful for older women, because men die sooner than we do. And so: Use it or lose it. It's not critical that every woman wants to stay juiced up. But if they do, it's perfectly fine. It's a lot easier to feel sexy and perform safely when you're flexible and have a certain amount of strength left. If you keep moving - walking, staying strong, doing squats - then having sex is both safer and more pleasurable, and you feel more empowered and better about yourself.

Enjoyable does not necessarily mean easy.

When you can't remember why you're hurt, that's when you're healed. When you have to work real hard to re-create the pain, and you can't quite get there, that's when you're better.

The sex is better and I understand life better. I don't want to be young again.

It's much more important to be interested than to be interesting.

The woman who respects the needs of her body will junk the junk food.

Getting fit is a political act - you are taking charge of your life.
