Hopefully, by the time you marry someone, you've been together so long, that not much changes at all once you get married. I was with my husband for seven years before we got married, and every time someone asks me, "So, how's married life?" I say, "Basically the same. I just wear a ring now." I mean, listen, I felt ready to marry my guy three years ago. And I think that's how it should go. You should already basically feel like you're married by the time you get married. Maybe, if it's acceptable to you, you should live together for years before, too. Either way, you should have already wrapped your head around spending forever together, long before making it official.

So, on that note, sex shouldn't still be a huge deal by the time you get married. To be clear: sex is important and you should still be having it and enjoying it! But you should be way past the point of needing to do it like rabbits, and feeling like the relationship is all about sex. A lot of the changes to your sex life, from that first drought to the natural slow down, should have happened long before you get married.

Now, we have a plethora of creams, oils, conditioners, shampoos, and stylists to choose from. Beyond wearing our natural curls, we have a range of options, from wigs and sew-ins to tape-ins, I-tips, and K-tips. So much choice! But you know what they say about too much of a good thing...

Can You Actually Get An STI/STD From Kissing? Yes. And No.

One of my favorite things to do is kiss. In fact, kissing is so important to me that I once stayed with someone longer than I should’ve, in part, because he was such a good kisser (to the point where I can confirm that “kissing orgasms” are a real thing) and I also once broke up with someone because he absolutely sucked at kissing (ugh). Kissing is sexy. Kissing is sensual. Kissing is intimate.

And science says that kissing can boost endorphin levels in your body; reduce feelings that are associated with stress and anxiety; elevate your immunity; help to lessen allergy-related symptoms; soothe headaches and period cramp discomfort; make you horny (yes, literally), and even decrease your chances of getting cavities.
