Dear Isadora: What does it mean to be friends with benefits?

Answer: It usually means a nonexclusive sexual relationship with no expectations for anything serious to develop.

Dear Isadora: I recently read the 19% of all pregnancies are terminated. What can be done to reduce that number?

Answer: Better sex education, to begin with, so that people use one or more of the many reliable forms of birth control available if they are going to have sexual intercourse. Good sex education can suggest satisfying alternatives to sexual intercourse as well.

Dear Isadora: My wife's doctor has recommended a complete hysterectomy. Can a woman still have sex after such an operation?

Answer: A recent study reported in the Journal of Sex Research stated that most women experienced an improved sex life afterward.
