That's right: the category is Health!

Excerpt: Just before her 30th birthday, British journalist Hephzibah Anderson spotted her college boyfriend ring shopping with another woman ... and was startled to realize that he'd been her last meaningful relationship. Deciding that it was time to give up on flings and get serious about finding love, she decided to do the unthinkable: She gave up sex.

Well, for a year, at least.

To be frank, I've done this myself before, with a few different requirements. But I've got to say, I discovered all the same things she had. It really is an eye-opener.

Discussion invited, but please mind the CoH.

    Oh hell, I have been through this several times. Being without sex. No big deal.

      Well yeah, I was going to say that too. Or, more accurately, "ONLY a year??"

      But the difference here is that she might have had some chances and she chose not to go there in order to keep an eye on the big picture.
