The prostate has earned the name “the male G-spot” because of its potential for pleasure. When stimulated externally or internally, the prostate can create immensely pleasing feelings, which can produce or heighten orgasms. “Externally, it cannot be directly palpated, but pressure can be applied to the surrounding area by pressing against the perineum, which is the area between the genitals and anus,” explains urologist Joshua R.

Here, Yu shares with us how he and his family are adapting to life during COVID-19: with exercise, getting outside, and maintaining connection with loved ones online, as well as the challenges of self-care during this difficult time: My day-to-day routine is get up, walk my dog, pour coffee, and write.

Here’s how to find yours, and what it says about your relationships, career, and life’s mission. “This number will help you understand why you came here and what you are here to do,” she notes, adding that it not only speaks to your strengths and talents but also the challenges you’ll face in life.

There’s some precedent for this belief, too. Farmers have relied upon the moon’s phases for guidance on when to plant crops for optimal growth, dating as far back as the 1800s. (See the Farmer’s Almanac.)

This is the same approach we take in lunar hair care,” says Stefani Padilla, a hairstylist and shaman....
