					<description><![CDATA[Yeah, sex is moving. Is it cardiovascular? Depends on the kind of sex you’re having.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kate Hudson caused commotion on Instagram on Wednesday after sharing that she was turning to a new form of exercise after finding out that WW (formerly Weight Watchers) updated its fitness tracker to include sex as a calorie-burning activity.</p>
<p>&#8220;Got some really interesting news that I&#8217;m really excited about right now. If anybody needs me, I&#8217;m gonna be in my bedroom for a good, I&#8217;m gonna say hour-twenty, if he can handle it,&#8221; Hudson said in the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CP6wNRLpCav/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a>. &#8220;Me having sex for an hour-twenty will equal&#8230;six FitPoints. See you in two hours.&#8221;</p>
<p>The actress was referring to the point system used by WW to track caloric input and output, specifically when it comes to the latest addition of FitPoints, which the brand claims are a personalized, precise and efficient way of tracking all physical activities — &#8220;from running and resistance training to &#8216;activity in disguise,&#8217; like gardening or cleaning your house.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now, that even includes sexual intercourse.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have always encouraged our members to seek out movement they enjoy, and this is no different,&#8221; says Gail Tifford, Chief Brand Officer at WW, in a statement to Yahoo Life. &#8220;It&#8217;s important to move in ways that move you, and we want to recognize and reward all activity as part of that.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Holly Richmond, a New-York based certified sex therapist, however, if quality exercise is what you&#8217;re looking for, sex might not be the way to get it.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, sex is moving. Is it cardiovascular? Depends on the kind of sex you’re having,&#8221; she tells Yahoo Life. &#8220;What we know is the average length of time for sex, especially if we’re talking about heterosexual penis in vagina sex, is literally five to seven minutes with penetration where people are really exerting themselves. To me, I would say that’s not the greatest workout.&#8221;</p>
<p>Richmond went on to say that the amount of effort exerted by men and women can vary, adding to inconsistencies of sex as exercise. As for Hudson looking to have nearly two hours of sex, Richmond adds, &#8220;That&#8217;s epic sex. That&#8217;s Olympic athlete of sex. People don’t have sex for two hours.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite the improbability that many people will be getting a significant amount of activity out of their intercourse, Richmond assures that there are other benefits of sex.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sex is good for you. It is a calorie burn, it’s a mood booster. If you’re having orgasms, [it can be an] anxiety reducer, improves sleep, improves immune function,&#8221; she notes. &#8220;So there’s a lot of great reasons to have sex and if we want to add burn calories onto that list, I’m all for it.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.weightwatchers.com_us_science-2Dcenter_team_michelle-2Dcardel&amp;d=DwMGaQ&amp;c=sWW_bEwW_mLyN3Kx2v57Q8e-CRbmiT9yOhqES_g_wVY&amp;r=kB3mRae2hSV8GuYPDf29cKcNmmwSeA_1EDHQ8D6UP2g&amp;m=ZYoAamVwP1X2iAI4okg2xV9K1Bsr5mEWRt59FS9lbDk&amp;s=hkfwXo8ay7xUSH-CbnZPdPURcC0w-jGnqCd5wkQR3Tc&amp;e=" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michelle Cardel</a>, Director of Global Clinical Research and Nutrition at WW, echoes Richmond&#8217;s sentiment. &#8220;If you check out our app, you&#8217;ll see you can only rack up about 1 FitPoint for 15 minutes of sexual activity, which may be unexpected for those hoping for a greater physical benefit,&#8221; she tells Yahoo Life. &#8220;However, the health benefits of sex extend beyond the physical. For example, sex has been associated with improved mental health, including lower reported stress levels and improved response to stress.&#8221;</p>
<p>And when it comes to the conversation of sex in the health and wellness space, Richmond is thrilled for the opportunity to further destigmatize intimacy and pleasure.</p>
<p>&#8220;The more we’re talking about sex, the more sex-positive we can be, the less taboo this is. I think overall that is fantastic and I completely support sex as exercise,&#8221; she says. &#8220;Just bringing sex education into the picture and when we have it with a fitness app like this, it just normalizes that conversation.&#8221;</p>

					<description><![CDATA["I fall in love with personalities, rather than a gender."]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The term &#8220;pansexual&#8221; has been getting a lot of attention lately, thanks to more high-profile celebrities talking openly about their sexual identities. In particular, stars like Bella Thorne and Miley Cyrus have shared their experiences discovering their sexuality, helping to explain the often-misunderstood term. &#8220;There are a lot of stereotypes and misconceptions about pansexuality, and one of the most prominent ones is that pansexuality doesn&#8217;t exist, or isn&#8217;t a &#8216;real&#8217; sexual identity. This is absolutely false,&#8221; Corey Flanders, PhD, an associate professor of psychology and education at Mount Holyoke College, previously told Women&#8217;s Health.</p>
<p>For these 14 celebrities, pansexuality is very real and differs from other LGBTQ+ identities. &#8220;&#8216;Pan&#8217; comes for the Greek word &#8216;all,'&#8221; Holly Richmond, PhD, a certified sex therapist and marriage and family counselor, previously told Women&#8217;s Health. &#8220;Pansexual is not bi-sexual, it’s all sexual.&#8221; That means a pansexual person could be attracted to a man, woman, a transgender person, or a nonbinary person (someone who chooses not to identify themselves by either gender), Richmond says.</p>
<p>With all that in mind, here&#8217;s how these 14 celebs who identify as pansexual explain the term.</p>

		<title>Jada Pinkett Smith Is in a Polyamorous Throuple. What Is That?</title>

					<description><![CDATA[Three is a magic number, after all.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Three isn’t always a crowd—especially for Will and Jada Smith. Jada revealed in her latest episode of her Facebook Watch show <a class="external-link" title="(opens new window)" href="https://www.facebook.com/redtabletalk/videos/419568041972431/?v=419568041972431" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="external-disclaimer"><i>Red Table Talk</i></a>, that she and the <i>Aladdin </i>actor are part of a throuple.</p>
<p>During the show, Jada said that she knew when she married Will that his ex-wife, Sheree Zampino, would be a big part of their relationship. Will and Sheree share a son together, and Jada revealed that she understands the importance of their relationship to each other.</p>
<p>“You know what’s so interesting, though? Why it’s so not foreign to me too is that I’ve had a non-sexual throuple for years with Sheree,” Jada said. “When you have your husband that is taking care of another woman and spending time with another woman, it’s the same thing.”</p>
<p>But what exactly is a throuple? As it turns out, there’s more than one definition.</p>
<p>“Typically, if we’re talking about throuples, that would be under the banner polyamory,” Holly Richmond, PhD, a sex therapist in New York City, tells <em>Health</em>. “But every couple defines this differently for themselves.”</p>
<p>Dr. Richmond explains that throuples are a group of three individuals who are in a committed relationship to one another. Typically, she says, there will be two people who are closer, and the third person will be a continual presence in the relationship (like in Will and Jada’s case.)</p>
<p>A throuple is different than an open marriage, Dr. Richmond explains. In an open marriage, people will typically have a relationship with someone outside of their marriage, but their partner will not know the other person. Open marriages often involve sex, whereas throuples can be just three people with an emotional attachment who share their lives together.</p>
<p>That’s not to say, however, that throuples aren’t sexual. Dr. Richmond says that throuples typically have a sexual relationship with one another, but that will also include an emotional attachment.</p>
<p>“There are a lot of different models for this sort of relationship, but ultimately it involves all three people being accepting and involved in the relationship,” Dr. Richmond says.</p>

		<title>Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness Says He Identifies as ‘Nonbinary’ and ‘Gender Nonconforming.’</title>

					<description><![CDATA[Here’s What That Means.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Queer Eye</em> and its (absolutely fabulous) cast have been defying gender stereotypes since the reboot launched on Netflix last year. Jonathan Van Ness, the show&#8217;s hair artiste, recently opened up about how those stereotypes have played a role in his journey to identifying as nonbinary.</p>
<p>“The older I get, the more I think that <a href="https://www.out.com/lifestyle/2019/6/10/queer-eyes-jonathan-van-ness-im-nonbinary" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">I’m nonbinary</a>,” Van Ness said in an interview with Out. “I’m gender nonconforming. Like, some days I feel like a man, but then other days I feel like a woman.”</p>
<p>For years he considered himself a gay man, he explained, but he recently realized nonbinary is actually a more accurate description. &#8220;I didn’t think I was allowed to be nonconforming or genderqueer or nonbinary—I was just always like &#8216;a gay man&#8217; because that’s just the label I thought I had to be.&#8221;</p>
<p>So what does it mean to be nonbinary, anyway? &#8220;Someone who&#8217;s nonbinary doesn&#8217;t feel like they fit into either the culturally or societally stereotypic definitions of a man or a woman,&#8221; Holly Richmond, PhD, a certified sex therapist in New York City, tells Health.</p>
<p>But not everyone who identifies as nonbinary is the same. &#8220;For some people, this means they always land somewhere in the middle. They&#8217;ll never say &#8216;he&#8217; or &#8216;she,&#8217; but rather they&#8217;re always in that middle ground,&#8221; Richmond explains. &#8220;For other people, it can be fluid. It can change week to week or month to month, depending on what they want during that time.&#8221; (As Van Ness told Out, some days a nonbinary person may feel like a man, but others like a woman.)</p>
<p>A nonbinary person might also see themselves as a man and a woman at the same time. Or they may consider themselves to be transgender. A trans nonbinary person is someone who doesn’t identify with the sex they were born with (trans) and also has a gender identity that isn&#8217;t strictly male or female (nonbinary). A nonbinary person who doesn&#8217;t feel they&#8217;re trans may, like Van Ness, partially identify with the sex they were born with but also have a gender identity that isn&#8217;t categorized as exclusively male or female.</p>
<p>Those who identify as nonbinary might also have a range of sexual preferences. &#8220;They might choose someone who&#8217;s gender nonconforming, they might always choose a male, always choose a female, or they might consider themselves bisexual,&#8221; Richmond says.</p>
<p>A nonbinary person can be as private as they want about their identity. But in some situations, they might want to make their identity known, such as at the doctor&#8217;s office. It&#8217;s important for all medical records to include sex at birth, gender identity, and legal sex, so a person can get proper care. Doctor offices unfortunately aren&#8217;t required to record all of this information—which is why it&#8217;s important for the patient to offer it.</p>
<p>Another thing it&#8217;s crucial to clarify: pronouns. Van Ness said he doesn&#8217;t identify as a man and sees himself more fluidly, yet he does use he/him pronouns. But everyone is different, so always ask a nonbinary person how they want to be addressed. And remember, identities can be fluid, so a person&#8217;s might change over time.</p>
<p>&#8220;Any opportunity I have to break down stereotypes of the binary, I am down for it, I’m here for it,&#8221; Van Ness said. &#8220;I think that a lot of times gender is used to separate and divide&#8230; I think any way I can let little boys and little girls know that they can express themselves&#8230; no matter how they present is really important and exciting.&#8221;</p>
