Summarize the following:
There are many people who are celibate at some time in their lives. One study found that 14% of men and 10% of women had not had sexual intercourse in the preceding year. There are many changes and transitions in life that can lead to celibacy involuntary or not. Resist the urge to judge yourself harshly for being celibate. Ignore what you think society says about where you should be in your lifespan and whether you should be having sex, dating, married or with children. Your opinion of yourself is the most important one. The depression that can occur from celibacy can unfortunately prevent you from moving forward. If you feel socially awkward or shy, you may have trouble meeting people. The most significant barrier to finding a sexual partner is shyness. A general lack of social skills can also impede you from finding a sexual partner. Work on improving your social skills so that you feel more comfortable meeting new people. Work on your nonverbal communication. Your body language communicates certain messages to other people. If you stand away from a crowd, or you hunch your shoulders a lot, you may be nonverbally telling others to stay away from you. Try standing up straight with your shoulders back and your head held high. Stand closer to a group of people and listen with interest to their conversation. Have a mental list of general conversation topics. If you find that you run out of things to say, you can prepare ahead of time with some general ideas about things to talk about. This can include the weather, your work or school, a recent movie, a hike you went on, and so on. Practice your social skills with all kinds of people. You don't need to save your social skills for potential partners. Try them out on the mail carrier or the grocery store clerk. Making your dive back to sexual activity pleasurable will build your confidence. Feeling self-conscious or embarrassed of your body can make sex needlessly uncomfortable. If you struggle with body image issues that are negatively affecting your sex life, then make it a priority to rectify what you can and accept what you cannot. Join a gym to get some exercise. You don't need to have a goal of losing 15 pounds, but the very action of getting some physical exercise can improve your confidence. It can also improve your sex life by boosting your energy. Treat yourself to a new haircut or new underwear. Feeling sexy will help you remember what you like about sex and get you excited for the activity again. Address your life circumstances that may be holding you back and reducing your confidence. Whether the obstacle is where you live or other circumstances, take the steps to address that obstacle. You may be in a living situation where you don't have a lot of privacy. You might live with a roommate or a family member. If you want to pursue a physical relationship with a partner, figure out ways to ensure you get the privacy you need. See if your roommate will go out for one or two evenings every week, for example. You might consider getting your own place if your living situation isn't allowing you enough privacy.

summary: Know that you're not alone. Build your social skills. Be proactive about your body image. Get a private living situation.

While Amazon is the best-known avenue for self-publishing books, a variety of companies offer these services. Careful research will help you determine which self-publication service is right for you. Consult publications and Web sites such as Writer's Digest or the Self-Published Author to gather general information about self-publishing. Genre-specific writer's organizations may also offer resources for authors seeking to self-publish. Different self-publishing services offer different pricing structures. If you plan to offer your work on a variety of platforms, study each platform and be prepared to vary your strategy. With some platforms, the percentage of royalties you receive will vary depending upon the price of your book, while others use blanket royalty rates. Self-publishing offers the advantage of bypassing the gatekeepers of traditional publishing houses, but now you'll need to be your own marketing department. Nineteen percent of self-publishers earned no money from their work in 2013, and while poor quality work may account for part of this problem, poor marketing is just as likely to sink your chances of earning money from your work. Maintain an author Web site with a blog and up-to-date news of your publications. Visit --and comment -- on blogs focused upon topics congenial to your work. Be sure to post a link back to your site. Compose a press release announcing your publication and send it off to Web sites, blogs, and publications in your field. If your book is a Christian romance novel, for example, consider sending it to Christian women's magazines and to prominent Christian women's bloggers. Make use of social media to generate buzz about your work. Start author pages on Facebook and Twitter, and post regularly. Seek out fellow authors and consider establishing networks to share and re-post news of your work. New work may be your best marketing tool. Generating a steady stream of quality publications will help you make a name for yourself in the self-publishing market. Consider complementing full-length work with novellas or shorter volumes published in formats such as Amazon's "Kindle Singles."

summary: Research self-publishing options. Pay careful attention to pricing structure. Market your book.

According to this myth, if you get a base tan, it prevents you from getting a sunburn. Having a tan doesn't protect your skin; you can still get a sunburn. Plus, any tanning is dangerous, since it damages your skin and increases your risk of developing skin cancer. You may think heading to a tanning bed is a safe option for tanning. However, the truth is that tanning beds produce UVA rays (and sometimes UVB rays), just like the sun. Though the sun produces other rays, including UVB rays, opting for a tanning bed isn't going to save you from developing skin cancers later in life. Sun lamps are another option that many people consider safer than tanning in the sun. However, they produce harmful rays, just as tanning beds and the sun do. Plus, because you can use them everyday in your home (even in the winter), you may be tempted to use them more often than other options; that will lead to increased skin damage. Harmful rays can damage your skin over time, so you should try to protect your skin instead of tanning. Put on a sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) before you go out. Also, try to stay out of the sun between 10 am and 4 pm. You can also cover up using long sleeves and provide shade for yourself with an umbrella.
summary: Protect your skin from getting a base tan. Understand tanning beds aren't safer. Keep sun lamps out of your home. Protect yourself when you go outside.
