Excellent example of the advantages of being, self-aware, able to communicate clearly about feelings and uncomfortable topics, paying attention to red flags, and having high standards for sex and relationships. Bravo.

” yet, the number of women who suffer from sex-related issues is significant: A 2010 of 31,000 women ages 18 and older found that 43 percent had some sort of sexual problem. A 2006 study showed that low libido affects 38 percent of women and another from 2011 showed 25 percent of women reported having experienced pain during intercourse.
But the prevalence of sexual concerns doesn’t coincide with women feeling comfortable asking their doctors about those issues: In the study on pain during intercourse, only two percent of women sought help from their physicians.
“Many women are suffering in silence,” Lindau said. “Patients are often reluctant to bring up sexual difficulties because of fear the physician will be embarrassed or will dismiss their concerns. Doctors should be taking the lead.”

This is truly awesome, and makes me feel even better about my choice to be car-free — which I’ve done for about five years now!
Signs, signs, everywhere the signs… on the corner of Grand & Elwood, Oakland. All in a row: Weight Watchers, chocolate shop, personal trainer, Domino’s pizza. Nice mutually reinforcing marketing loop! #cantmakethisshitup
Just in case you were wondering. My favorite: the listings by geography, especially Rome and Stanford :-)
