If you want to give it a try, here are a few expert-recommended ways to try to have a full-body orgasm: To do it, Isadora said you must pull the energy from your genitals throughout the entire body using the “microcosmic orbit.” It’s similar to semen retention in practice, but people of any gender and body type can practice edging. It can be particularly difficult for people with penises who usually have an easier time being stimulated to orgasm, but it can be done with practice and produce powerful, full-body pleasure sensations when timed right....

Here are a bunch of techniques you can experiment with if you’re curious. There’s more emphasis on how the other parts of your body aid in your sexual pleasure. There’s no one way to define what counts as “hands-free.” If you aren’t using your hands to stimulate your body, then you can consider it hands-free. It may involve using toys, energies, breathwork, household items, other parts of the body, or just the mind....

The lunar nodes are directly opposite each other in the chart. They aren’t planets but rather mathematical points on the chart that fall in two opposite zodiac signs. (For example, if your north node is in Capricorn, your south node will be in its opposite sign of Cancer, and so on.) Here’s a more in-depth look at the themes of the north node and south node and how to decode where yours fall....

An imprint is a belief system or a deeply embedded memory that has altered how you see yourself, someone else, or the world. When something happens to you that leaves an impression, your central nervous system creates a picture of it and keeps it stored inside you. Imagine two people walking down the street together at night. They are both in exactly the same environment and are both at exactly the same risk of danger....

Luckily, diet and lifestyle are often to blame, which means small and consistent changes can make a big difference in the health of your stool. Here, we’ve outlined a number of strategies you can try out to help promote regularity and teach your body how to poop better and easier. “Fiber helps promote digestive regularity, which is good for the gut. Soluble fiber, in particular, helps build stool bulk, while insoluble fiber helps speed up transit time,”* explains registered dietitian and mbg Collective member Jess Cording, M....

Men’s and women’s sexual arousal, desire, and pleasure work in essentially the same way. The sexual response mechanism in your brain—everyone’s brain—has two basic parts: It’s the same sensation (tickling), but a different perception. It’s either fun or annoying (or some variation thereof) because the context is different—your state of mind, the state of your relationship. And that’s normal. No one would ever judge or blame you for not wanting to be tickled while you’re feeling annoyed, right?...

The gradual and natural decline of the body’s collagen supply contributes to what we consider signs of aging: fine lines, sagging, sallowness, loss of volume, and more.* It’s no wonder that people are constantly looking for ways to “restore” their natural levels. Here, we look into why collagen declines and the most effective (and natural) ways to support your own levels of this protein in the skin.* Collagen is found in many areas of the body: skin, bone, cartilage, and muscle, with the purpose of helping tissues be simultaneously more firm, elastic, and withstand stretching....
