Q: My husband says we should have sex even if we don’t feel like it because it’s "use it or lose it." Is there any truth to this?
A: Although male sexuality is very different from female sexuality, it turns out that for both sexes "use it or lose it" is indeed TRUE.
By Liz Welch Anna is sitting in a New York café, sipping an English Breakfast tea.

“use it or lose it” approach does your relationship -- and your body -- good.
