Forget Modesty When Sexual Health Is Concerned

And I get stuck with an ADVISORY STICKER??????

 

Cancer Vixen - censored!

Here's why: I heard (indirectly) through the MyBreastCancerNetwork.com grapevine that some peeps out there thought my last post "TAMOXIFIEND" was "too graphic" and "insensitive."

Screw feeling embarrassed or ashamed! What's painful is NOT talking about it when you consider the alternative: lousy, painful sex IF YOU FEEL LIKE HAVING IT AT ALL. Your partner doesn't understand why your libido has been torpedoed...

Speaking of connecting, I got some AMAZING TIPS from my Vixen Sistahs out there.

 

Vixens, take the floor....

 

Michele Hyra - Team Hyra - breast cancer

 

KTJOZ - breast cancer and sex

 

Ok, Yours Truly here again.

 

I especially love the bit about having a "ROCKING TIME IN BED..."

 

So, allow me to use that old expression: From her lips to...
