Should My Teenager Date This Boy?

I need some advice about my teenager. Her name is Angela, and she's 17. She really likes this boy Andy, but her father says that she's too young to date him. The only things is....he's super sweet and she totally crazy about him. He's very courteous and a gentleman, but he's 22. Is this too old? Should I allow her to carry this relationship on in private, without her father knowledge. I have 5 other beautiful children and we're just now heading into the dating years. What should I do?

Hormones - Natural Progesterone

I'm 44 and my GYN prescribed natural progesterone (200mg) for me to take day 14 - 21 of my cycle. She said my progesterone was low and this would help with the ovarian cysts I get and the heavy periods. The pharmacist kind of scared me because he said that was a high dosage and he asked me a lot of questions. Has anyone else taken natural progesterone and what was your dose? Have you tried other ways to increase your progesterone? I know if I lost some fat I might reduce my estrogen. But right now my hormones are out of whack so...

Kissing... with Tongue?

Love it? Hate it? I used to be totally big on kissing, you know, the tongue-filled make-out kind... it was such a turn on for me... It could be so intimate or passionate, or both! I loveD it... But the older I get, the less enchanted I am with it... can't seem to get into it like I used to... doesn't seem to have the same effect on me, which is kind of disappointing to me, since I used to love it so much... I know it's probably a mindset and in my head, like most things, but I was just wondering what you all think about kissing...
