"Pleasure is the object, duty and the goal of all rational creatures." ~ Voltaire

There is no time like long summer nights to cultivate the uniquely, profoundly human capacity for pleasure—especially sexual pleasure. Our pleasure response transforms our relationship to each other and even to life itself.  Focusing on pleasure not only changes how we see our opportunities for intimate connection, but also invites us into a deeper relationship with our erotic soul.

Cash incentives may encourage new mothers to breastfeed until their infants are at least six months old, a small experiment suggests.

Pediatricians recommend that mothers exclusively breastfeed infants until at least six months of age because it can reduce babies’ risk of ear and respiratory infections, sudden infant death syndrome, allergies, childhood obesity and diabetes.

Mothers can benefit too, with longer periods of breastfeeding linked to lower risks of depression, bone deterioration and certain cancers.
