Earlier this week the
BBC noted the results of a recent study suggesting that premature ejaculation, long thought to be a psychological disorder, may actually be genetic.
According to the article, the men in the study who suffered from premature ejaculation had a variation of the gene that regulates
serotonin levels — the hormone that controls, among other things, mood, appetite, and the speed at which ejaculation occurs.
And while this information will eventually help researchers create an effective treatment, for now there is no medication, leaving many couples searching for solutions to something that is often a serious detriment to a satisfying sex life.

Intimacy is a relationship necessity, but is there such a thing as too much intimacy? This is something I consistently debate with my girlfriends, which is why I was so glad to see it broached by Jake of
Married Jake, one of
Glamour's love and sex blogs.
Jake was confounded when his new wife asked him not to pee in front of her anymore.

I don’t consider myself a competitive person, but I can get pretty feisty during a round of
Guitar Hero or a game of Scrabble. There’s nothing wrong with a little competition in a friendly game, but what about when it comes to a relationship? I’ve always kept my tiny competitive edge away from my significant other, but I’ve seen some couples duke it out over Monopoly or worse, their roles at work.

Whether you’re the kind of couple that prefers to
spend time with other couples or just
hang alone at home, eventually there comes a time when you have to socialize in a larger group setting. Some couples are born to work the crowd; they interact with everyone and then come back and connect with each other every once and a while. They never make anyone feel uncomfortable by
arguing or
being too affectionate.
