Some surprising facts from the Colonel
Is your body image bad for the bedroom?
Any sex therapist will tell you that to have a satisfying sex life, you need to enjoy it -mentally and physically.

There’s no reason why bad feelings about flab should prevent you from feeling good. You can start by taking this quick quiz to find out if a better body image could really improve your next romantic rendezvous, and then learn some easy ways to nip those negative thoughts in the bud before bed.
