Not sure if that title will make men more or less eager to read this blog. Menfolk, consider yourself warned.
Men’s health has always been studied and rightly so. Men are important, they’re physically stronger, and traditionally have been seen as the providers, to run the farm or business. But times have changed. When The Pill hit the scene in the ‘60’s, women became more independent, and to the chagrin of many men, sparked a revolution that reshaped how we think about gender, independence, and yes, even health.
Viagra Nation
Let’s be real: proud penis owners are unabashed talking about their erections, or lack thereof. Every rom-com seems to have a penis gag (pun intended); big, little, soft, hard, expert, or novice. Mainstream media is saturated with conversations about size, performance, and dysfunction. Even the late Senator Bob Dole, appeared in commercials for ED. And Peyronie’s disease? I haven’t even heard of it until a prime-time TV ad educated me.
But when it comes to women’s vaginal health? Crickets. Even I, someone who considers herself an open book, feels the hush-hush.
The Jade Egg
Knowing my audience includes all genders, I hesitate to write this blog. But then again, how can I boast on my podcast that my blog is, “candid, funny, informative, and always encouraging”, if I avoid the tough, candid, informative, encouraging topics.
So here it is. A blog for menopausal women, middle aged and older, who may be quietly dealing with dryness, tightness, pain, incontinence, and more.
As a self-proclaimed “lover” of intimacy, I have tried every Western medicine solution on the market; cream, patch, pill, procedure, toy, you name it. Most brought little relief. But I am here to share the good news. Not the news recommended by my doctor, but instead a well-researched option by a woman of about my age who calls herself a provocateur.
Gweneth Paltrow’s all natural, jade egg sold on her Goop.com website is the best! Lather it up with the best lubricant on the market, Coconut Oil, and pop it in. Follow the guidelines by starting with only 15 minutes and build up to an overnight stay.

No one wants to hear their man call out another woman’s name in bed… but if mine ever gasped, “Gwyneth Paltrow!” in the heat of the moment—I’d understand.
