Pain at Intimacy: A Couple’s Struggle with Vaginal Dryness

Slate’s sex-advice column addresses a reader’s question about his wife’s pain during intercourse after brief natural lubrication. The answer suggests perimenopause-related vaginal dryness or atrophy as a possible cause, which can be helped with medical treatment (topical and/or systemic hormones prescribed by a gynecologist). In the meantime, practical steps include switching to longer-lasting lubricants (silicone-based) and exploring hydration or hyaluronic acid suppositories; it also notes other potential issues (yeast infections, infections, pelvic-floor concerns) and advises sensitivity around weight while prioritizing mutual pleasure and medical consultation for a proper diagnosis.

Breaking the Cycle: A Survivor’s Plea to Escape a Toxic Family

Abby says the family needs abuse counseling and directs the reader toRAINN for support. In a second case, she tells a writer dealing with a depressed, dismissive father to set boundaries—invite help or move out and seek senior-services assistance if needed.

Trainers weigh in on the 12-3-30 treadmill craze: simple, popular, but not a miracle

Trainers broadly view the 12-3-30 treadmill workout as a net positive for getting people moving and maintaining consistency, thanks to its low barrier and simple setup, but they caution it isn’t a magic solution or a substitute for strength work; its surge in popularity is driven by branding and accessibility, and proper technique (like avoiding the rails) matters to actually reap cardio benefits.
