Why 'Mercy Sex' Among Women Is Sparking Heated Discussions

Women with no sexual desire still make whoopie two to three times a month to help maintain relationship stability, and other goals, per a study in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy. Prostock-studio - stock.adobe.com It’s a pity party in their pants.Women with no sexual desire still make whoopie on the reg to maintain their relationship, and other motivating factors beyond gratification, per a raunchy study in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy.Researchers came to this conclusion after examining the baseline results from a decade of drug trials for hypoactive sexual desire disorder, defined by medics as a chronic lack of carnal cravings.The drugs in question included a testosterone patch, an injectable aphrodisiac called bremelanotide and flibanserin, an oral treatment for the disorder. In 2015, the latter medication became the first ever drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for premenopausal women suffering from hypoactive sexual desire disorder. The study suggests that trials of drugs that help sexual desire should focus on factors besides the frequency of intercourse. Prostock-studio – stock.adobe.comDuring the multiple randomized, placebo-controlled trials, which involved thousands of women, pharmaceutical companies were required to gauge success based on the frequency of sexual events, PsyPost reported.However, Nikita Guptan and James A. Simon, researchers at IntimMedicine Specialists in Washington, D.C., found that on average, participants suffering from the condition had sex roughly two to three times per month before undergoing treatment.This meant that they had reached the finish line sans exhibiting any sex drive — a term the scientists dubbed “mercy sex.” Why engage in hanky panky without a hankering? The researchers concluded that many women want to inspire monogamy by preventing their partners from seeking nookie elsewhere — the logic being that a couple that lays together stays together. Women often use “mercy sex” as a form of relationship maintenance, per the researchers. AntonioDiaz – stock.adobe.comThe researchers pointed to differing male and female reproductive strategies, with men seeking to procreate with multiple partners in a short timespan while women prioritize stability and resource-sharing to raise their kids.By engaging in “mercy sex,” they helped increase the odds that their promiscu.ous partner would stick around to help rear the children, evolutionarily-speaking at least.As men are often socially conditioned to view sex as synonymous with emotional closeness, engaging in consensual but unwanted sex can help preserve this connection, per the study.The main caveat is that these evolutionary explanations didn’t apply to women in same-sex relationships or those without a partner.Coincidentally, “mercy sex” is surprisingly common. According to a 2024 study from the Journal of Sex Research finding that, the majority of people consented to sex they didn’t desire at some point, including in their current relationships.The problem arises when lower-desire partners do so solely to avoid conflict or disappointment and keep their needs silent to avoid rocking the boat, psychologists say, according to Forbes. While their intent may be understandable, suppressing oneself in the sack can lead to depressive symptoms.Of course, “mercy sex” should not be conflated with women initially feeling neutral desire only for arousal to emerge during the act. This pattern is common in many healthy long-term sexual relationships, per studies on the female sexual response.Overall, these nuances illustrate that drug trials should perhaps place equal emphasis on the quality — in addition to quantity — when it comes to measuring clinical success.

Allie Colleen Brooks' Emotional Confession About Losing Garth Sparks Debate New

Allie Colleen Brooks' Emotional Confession About Losing Garth Sparks Debate

Legendary country music star Garth Brooks' daughter Allie Colleen Brooks is opening up about her greatest fear in the wake of icon Dolly Parton’s death at age 80. “My greatest fear in life is the day my Dad loses his life and I have to see the world mourn a man they never knew the way I knew him,” Allie, 30, wrote via Instagram earlier this week. “To the personal family and friends of Mrs. Dolly you have all my love and condolences today and forever going forward.” She continued, “What a huge, beautiful, special life to have loved and to grief. Thank you for sharing her with us all.” Allie, a country singer and songwriter in her own right, captioned the post, “What a beautiful privilege it is to mourn.. to grieve is to know you loved deeply and fully. To the woman we all loved and to those who grief for her — I love you all. Please respect the family and her personal friends.” Us confirmed on Tuesday, August 25, that the legendary country music star died after a private and brief battle with an undisclosed type of cancer. “My sister was one of the most generous, thoughtful and kind people I’ve ever known,” the country star’s sister, Stella Parton, said when breaking her silence in the wake of her sibling’s death. “What the world saw is exactly who she was, so much so, she told me recently that their was no hope for her, she would still allow her medical team to try experimental drugs in the hope of helping others in the future," she wrote via social media at the time. https://www.instagram.com/alliecolleenmusic/p/Dce0czEgpYg/ In honor of Dolly’s legacy, Garth — who shares Allie and her siblings Taylor and August with his ex-wife Sandy Mahl — and his current wife and fellow singer Trisha Yearwood announced September 25 will be “Dolly Day’ at their Nashville bar, Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk, with all profits going towards children’s literacy. Allie’s public confession in the wake of Dolly’s death received mixed reactions from her many followers, with some condemning her statement as selfish while others — including children of other country music stars — offered their solidarity in the comments section. “No one is allowed to be sad except the family? That’s wild,” one user wrote, prompting a response from the country singer’s daughter. “This is my account – I am saying I don’t know how to respond to these things in my industry because of my life experiences,” she wrote. “I’m not telling anyone else how to grieve. I’m just acknolwedging the family. You do you babe.” Mackenzie Adkins, daughter of fellow country music star Trace Adkins, wrote, “I’m more of an avoidant when it comes to fears like this. But that is very very scary and real for my sisters and I. Thank you for explaining it better than I could.” “I know you understand babe,” Allie responded. “Should the day come — we’ll get through it.”

Teen Siblings' Christmas Gift to Dad Sparks Unexpected Change New

Teen Siblings' Christmas Gift to Dad Sparks Unexpected Change

This Christmas, my brother (16) and I (14F) overheard Dad talking to his brother about gifts for our mom, Lily. Dad’s words made our blood boil.“Only kitchen stuff,” he said. “Mixers, blenders, utensils. Maybe if she gets better gadgets, she’ll finally learn how to cook.”We just stood there, frozen. Mom already did everything—worked full-time, cleaned, cooked, helped us with homework—while Dad barely lifted a finger. And that’s what he thought she deserved?That night, my brother and I made a plan.We didn’t argue. We didn’t confront him. We just… decided to show him.Christmas morning came, and our whole family—12 of us—gathered around the tree. Laughter, wrapping paper, the smell of cinnamon rolls. Mom looked tired but happy, like she always did.Dad went first with his gifts to her.“Here you go, Lily,” he said proudly.She opened them one by one.A blender. A knife set. A new pan.She smiled politely each time. “Oh… thank you,” she said, glancing at him like she was trying to convince herself to be grateful.Then it was our turn.My brother handed Dad a big box. “We got you something too,” he said.Dad looked surprised. “Oh? For me?”He opened it.Inside was a vacuum cleaner.The room went quiet.“What’s this?” he laughed awkwardly.“Oh, and there’s more,” I said, handing him another box.He opened it. Cleaning supplies.Then another. Laundry detergent and a basket.His smile started to fade. “Okay… what’s going on?”My brother crossed his arms. “We figured if Mom’s gifts are based on what she does for the house, then yours should be too.”No one said a word.I added, “Mom works full-time and does everything at home. You don’t. So we thought maybe these would help you… learn.”You could feel the tension in the room.Dad looked around, maybe expecting someone to laugh. No one did.Then something unexpected happened.Our uncle—the same one Dad had been talking to—let out a small chuckle. “Well,” he said, “they’re not wrong.”A couple of other relatives nodded.Mom just sat there, eyes wide, clearly not expecting any of this.Dad’s face turned red. For a moment, I thought he’d explode.But he didn’t.Instead, he looked at Mom.Really looked at her.At the tired eyes. The forced smile. The hands that never seemed to rest.And for the first time, he didn’t have anything to say.The rest of Christmas was… quieter.Later that night, I walked into the kitchen and saw something I’d never seen before.Dad was doing the dishes.Mom stood nearby, confused. “You don’t have to do that,” she said.“I know,” he replied. “But I should’ve been.”There was a long pause.“I’m sorry, Lily,” he said softly. “I didn’t realize… how much you do. Or how little I do.”Mom didn’t answer right away. Then she nodded, just a little.It wasn’t some big movie moment. Nothing magically changed overnight.But the next morning, Dad made breakfast.And the day after that, he did laundry.And little by little, things started to feel… fair.As for Mom’s real Christmas gift?A few weeks later, Dad surprised her with something completely different—a spa day, a weekend off, and a promise: “You don’t have to carry this house alone anymore.”And this time, when she smiled—it wasn’t forced.

Michelle Obama's Surprising Reaction to Her Daughters Leaving Home New

Michelle Obama's Surprising Reaction to Her Daughters Leaving Home

Former first lady Michelle Obama is opening up about life after her two daughters have left the proverbial nest. “I don’t miss ‘em,” Obama, 60, quipped on the Wednesday, August 26, episode of her “IMO” podcast after guest Jon Stewart asked how she handled daughters Malia, 28, and Sasha, 25, going to college. “I don’t; I love them. I’m going to see them tonight for dinner.” She continued, “You know, Barack [Obama] cried when they went to college. I was like, ‘Bye little … Goodbye.’ Now, Friday nights aren't wrecked with terror and fear about, ‘Where are you?’” Michelle further gushed that she has loved her daughters’ “emancipation and growth” since the pair have left their childhood home. When Stewart, 63, asked whether the Becoming author missed the “pattern” of raising kids, she shook her head no. “I’m good, look at all this meaning I have,” Michelle quipped, gesturing to her podcast studio and life after mothering young and later teen children. “I have a wonderful pattern. I love my schedule; I have a great schedule and it’s all mine.” However, Michelle can understand how Stewart and her brother, podcast cohost Craig Robinson, can wax nostalgic for their kids’ younger years. “I think fathers can be that way because you weren't there from 6:00 to 9:00 at night, you missed a lot of it,” she stated. “I mean, I've had so much quality time with my children. So much; I know them inside and out.” Malia and Sasha were by Michelle and former senator Barack’s side when he ran and was elected president of the United States. (Barack, 65, served as the Commander in Chief from 2009 to 2017.) While Barack pursued his political career, it was often up to Michelle to handle their kids’ day-to-day. “They were probably 7 and 3 at the time, and Barack was traveling, so I was at home trying to get the girls to bed,” the former attorney said on a December 2025 episode of her podcast. “They were great kids, but this was one night that they were just being rambunctious.” According to Michelle, neither of her girls would listen when she asked them to get ready for bedtime that night. “I was in my frustrated mommy time,” she recalled. “I said, ‘Well, that’s it. No one listens to me. I’m done parenting. You seem like you guys have this all figured out, and you can do this on your own. So have at it.’” Malia, then 7, quickly changed course and stressed that she didn’t “know what [she] could do without” her mom. “I’m thinking, ‘Yeah, this is what I wanted. I wanted her to realize that she needed me,’” Michelle added at the time. “Sasha, my 3-year-old was sitting on the stairs watching all this. She took her blankie, and she turned around and went back upstairs to watch TV. As if to say, like, ‘Thank God. At last. This is what I wanted from you, lady. I am 3. I can handle this. I’m going back upstairs.’ She got five steps up, and I was like, ‘If you don’t turn around and get back down here.’ Well, it worked for one. Didn’t work for the other.”

Donald Trump's $2,000 Check Promise: What's Really Happening? New

Donald Trump's $2,000 Check Promise: What's Really Happening?

Donald Trump promised to send $2,000 tariff dividend checks to almost every American back in November 2025. Nine months later, the checks have not arrived and the president himself does not seem entirely sure they ever will. When NBC's Tom Llamas asked Trump directly whether he could promise the checks would come, Trump said: "Oh yeah, sure. I can do that." Then, in the same breath: "I haven't made the commitment yet, but I may make the commitment." That is the latest official position from the White House on the $2,000 checks. A promise that is also not a promise. A commitment to maybe make a commitment. The timeline so far Trump first floated the idea in October 2025 . By November, he was posting about it regularly on Truth Social, telling Americans that tariff revenue would fund $2,000 payments to low- and middle-income households. VT reported on who would be eligible , including children and dependents who could push the total per household significantly higher. Warnings were issued to unmarried Americans about how the payment structure could affect them differently. Married couples were told to pay attention to specific details about how the checks would be calculated. Then the goalposts started moving. In December, Trump told reporters the checks would arrive 'probably in the middle of next year, a little bit later than that'. In January, when the New York Times asked for an update, Trump's first response was: "I did do that? When did I do that?" After being reminded of his own promise, he said: "The tariff money is so substantial that I'll be able to do $2,000 sometime. I would say toward the end of the year." In February, the NBC interview happened. Promise, contradiction, pivot to talking about the military instead. In July, an expert shared what was described as a 'positive update' on the checks. But as of today, August 28, 2026, no American has received a $2,000 tariff dividend check. Trump unveiled new tariffs on his 'Liberation Day'. Credit: Chip Somodevilla / Getty The contradictions The biggest problem with the $2,000 checks is that nobody in Trump's own administration agrees on how they would work. Trump has said he does not need Congress to approve the payments. "No, I don't believe we do," he told the New York Times. "We have it coming in from other sources." His Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, has said the opposite. "We will see. We need legislation for that," Bessent told Fox News in November 2025. Bessent later told ABC News that tariff revenue 'could come in many forms', which sounded a lot like a man preparing the ground for the payments to arrive as something other than a cheque in the post. The $1,776 that already went out There is one payment that has actually been made. Military members received a $1,776 'warrior dividend' earlier this year. Trump described it as proof that tariff revenue was already being put to use. That was not true. The Associated Press reported that the $1,776 payment was taken from supplemental housing funding that military members were already set to receive. It was not new money generated by tariffs. It was existing money rebranded. Will the $2,000 checks ever arrive? As of today, nobody knows. The president has said they will come. He has also said he has not committed to them. He has said they do not require congressional approval. His Treasury Secretary has said they do. The timeline has slipped from 'mid-2026' to 'toward the end of the year' to 'I may make the commitment'. What is known is that the promise was made, the promise was repeated, the promise was widely covered, and nine months later the only money that has gone out is a military payment that was funded from an existing pot and had nothing to do with tariffs. The end of the year is four months away. Whether the checks arrive before then, after then, in a different form, or not at all is a question that even the president cannot seem to answer the same way twice.

He’s very proud of the fact that the pharmaceutical companies don't have control over him. … It’s so weird.” Ozempic and other similar semaglutides are commonly prescribed to adults who struggle with weight-related conditions, including diabetes, to slim down. Doctors have since warned individuals for using the medication for casual weight loss. As for Apatow, the 58-year-old filmmaker began taking GLP-1 medications nearly two years ago. “I am on so much Ozempic right now,” the Knocked Up director said during a 2024 stand-up show in New York City. “I’ve been on it for six months, I’ve gained four pounds. I don’t know how it’s supposed to work. It makes you nauseous, so you don’t want to eat, but I take it as a challenge to eat through the nausea.” He added at the time, “You know, like, ‘I’m gonna f***ing prove this medicine doesn’t work.’ Sometimes I’ll eat ice cream and shoot myself with Ozempic at the same time just to see who wins the battle. It’s been a draw so far. That experiment cost me $40,000.” Apatow has previously been candid about his experience trying to lose and maintain his weight. “[Leslie] put me on the Goop detox diet,” he revealed on Live With Kelly and Ryan in 2017, referring to Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle company. “She has a diet up there [on her website], and I did it, and then suddenly, I looked like Ryan [Seacrest] for a while. I got skinny and handsome. … I'm trying very hard to keep it together.” At the time, Apatow noted how Mann was “cooking all this food” that he supplemented with a new exercise routine. “I did a little SoulCycle Hamilton ride the other day, you know how it goes,” he quipped. “I’m trying to ‘cause I hate being healthy, I don’t like it, but I saw an article about ‘dad bods.’ It’s, like, when you work out a little bit and look a little crappy, and my friend sent me an article about it and I clicked the link and there was a picture showing what it was and the picture was of me. I took that as a sign.” Apatow and the Spa Weekend actress have been married since 1997, during which they welcomed daughters Maude, 28, and Iris, 23.
