#3. Random Recovery Moment

Random recovery moments are little summaries of good advice that I have found around the internet that are honest enough and funny enough to help you out while I am on vacation. Just not so helpful that these experts, who might actually have the advantage of being qualified, will be able to replace me in your affections.

Our first RRM comes from Marion McBride, a sex expert for the Guardian. She knows what she’s talking about. She’s a four-time mother:
