Johnson's offensive production could play a big hand in deciding how fat the Jayhawks can advance in the NCAA Tournament. It's time for Johnson to snap out of his offensive woes and play like the player that he is capable of being. Kansas fans saw what he could do in the Jayhawks victory over the UCLA Bruins, scoring 23 points and shooting 62 percent from the court. Edited by Jeff Karr Even though Johnson has attempted more shots this season, because he has played more minutes, his field goal and three-point percentages last season were better. Taylor is playing as good as any guard in the country, and he is finally living up to the expectations that fans have bestowed on him. Johnson has tremendous upside and talent. Now that the front court is playing up to its potential, the back court needs to follow suit. LOVE Dear Michelle, I'm in my 40s and have been seeing this guy for a few months now. He's attractive, attentive, treats me like a queen, and the sex is awesome. To top it all off, he's five years younger than me. The only thing that I question is how much sex is too much? Am I crazy, or should I be thrilled that we are having sex every single day, multiple times a day? Sometimes I get a little sore, and sometimes I'm just tired. But he seems willing to satisfy himself (I feel a little guilty). Maybe it's just the fact that it's been so good and so much fun, I don't want it to end, but I feel like he may kill this old lady from too much of a good thing. —Loving My New Man A common question, believe it or not, is are we having too much (or too little) sex? Well, in my opinion, the only sex that boarders on too much is anything that is unhealthy. It sounds to me like your sex is very healthy. You are excited to be together, make each other feel good, and find fun and exploration in the activity. Eventually, the sex will taper off to just once a day. Don't be anxious when this happens either. Your sex life with a new partner will help establish a deeper intimacy down the road. Dear LMNM. The skin in and around the genitals is delicate and full of nerve endings, so caution might be necessary for certain sex acts. Frequency and aggressiveness will affect this area. If you find yourself experiencing any pelvic pain, vaginal pain or irritation, pain during urination, or (if you're doing this) pain in the anus, avoid sex until you can see the doctor for a quick checkup. If you haven't been to the doctor in a while, why not go anyway? Get a pelvic exam, pap smear and STI offense. There is no reason why the jayawacks can lob lugs pass to Johnson and take advantage of his athleticism. test for peace of mind. Encourage your partner to do the same. With a clean bill of health, you can get down and dirty any time, any place. In addition, always keep a high quality lubricant on hand. I use a brand made especially for women. It is silicone-based, so it does not absorb into the skin as quickly as water-based (KY, Astroglide). Unfortunately, the silicone-based lubes cannot be used with silicone toys. Be sure to have both a silicone and a water-based option for intercourse. Remember, as you age, the level of natural lubrication can decrease. Lubrication is a quick and easy solution to dryness during sex, but prescriptions are available as well. Women have the option of using estrogen creams or suppositories to increase natural lubrication in the vagina. Talk to your doctor about these direct hormone options. If you're still producing natural lubricant, just use the over-the-counter lubricants when necessary. partner. Suggest alternative methods of intimacy: sensual massage, a shower or bath together. oral sex only, paint each other with chocolate or whipping cream, or tell each other your fantasies. Be creative and go beyond intercourse to establish that romance and intimacy. Have fun on your new adventures. Finally, if you find yourself needing to slow down, communicate this to your Michelle MacBain, Kansas City is a graduate student in Communication Studies.
