Hello Everyone! My name is Tara Ford. I’m a Physician Assistant and the latest practitioner to join MCFS. As this is my first time blogging here, I’d like to give you a little insight on what I’ve discovered. Like you, I wasn’t sure of what to expect. Once I heard about this center, I did what most of you have done…I searched the internet and scoured this webpage!

Although I have experience working in women’s health, I had never stepped foot into a medical center that focused solely on female sexual health. As I’m sure you’ve realized, there aren’t many centers like this that exist in the world! As I read the patient’s testimonials on the website touting success I couldn’t help but wonder, “Are these testimonials about actual, real life patients here?”

When I first arrived at the center, I was impressed by the professionalism of the staff. Everyone I encountered, from the receptionists to the medical staff were friendly and kind. I approached the situation with the mindset of a patient. “Would I feel welcomed by the receptionist when I came for my first visit?” “Would I feel comfortable talking about my sexual health with the medical professionals?” “Are these people actually going to care about what I’m going through?”

The answer to “our” questions is a resounding “YES!”

At this center, you will find a warm, supportive, knowledgeable staff eager to help you; a staff that acknowledges the courage it takes to seek help for a sexually related problem. You have already taken the first step by visiting this website. Don’t wait another day or let another year go by.

And by the way, I asked about the testimonials. Yes, they are based on real life patients treated here! More importantly, there is a space on this website waiting for your success story!

And I look forward to helping you achieve that success!

Yet another reason for women to be fit…

Overweight women should know that your oral contraceptive may take longer to become effective. A new study recently published in the Journal of Contraception found that oral contraceptives for woman who are overweight can take twice as long to become effective. Most drug tests are not tested on people who are obese and so body size is often ignored. The study which was conducted by scientists from Colorado, Oregon and Southern California found that it took approximately 10 days for oral contraceptives to be effective in obese women versus 5 days for women with a Body Mass Index less than 35. This is something to be aware of and talk to your physician about….

10 Things Every Woman Should Know

Bat Sheva Marcus, LMSW, MPH, PhD, clinical director of The Medical Center for Female Sexuality, recently put together a list of 10 things every woman should know. We thought this was important enough to share with our readers.

1) You are entitled to a great sex life no matter what your age.

2) You are entitled to a great sex life no matter what your size, shape, or physical condition.

3) There is no one right way to have a sex life. Your sex life just needs to work for you (and your partner, if you have one).

4) You dont need to have a partner to have a great sex life.

5) Knowing your body and its reactions is the first step to a better sex life.

6) Your partner is probably not a mind reader.

7) Intercourse does not equal great sex.
If you are having problems, they very well may not be all in your head.

9) Vibrators are not “kinky sex toys,” they are your friend.

10) Sex should be fun.

While some of these entries may sound like common sense, you would be surprised at how many women don’t keep them in mind.
