Can Orgasms Make You A Better Parent? While climaxing canโ€™t alleviate all parenting-related challenges, it can offer a range of advantages worth embracing.

โ€œStop treating pleasure like itโ€™s dessert, something you get after everything else is done,โ€ said St. John. โ€œItโ€™s a resourceโ€ฆ[that] helps you function, connect and recharge."

Pete Hegseth put American lives at risk when he sent war plans in a group chat โ€” then he lied to cover it up.

If he doesn't resign, he should be fired.
