It was the briefest of reprieves. Within minutes of the three-hour ceasefire between Israel and Hamas ending at 4pm, gunfire was heard around the edges of Gaza City. Less than half an hour later, an Israeli war plane blew up a car killing a Palestinian man and his three children, medics said.

For a few hours though, shell-shocked and hungry Palestinians scrambled into the streets to buy whatever they could get their hands on, as tentative hopes for a more lasting ceasefire grew.

Israel said it “welcomed” an Egyptian proposal for a truce with Hamas, the Islamist rulers of Gaza, yet its security cabinet voted nonetheless to push ahead with its deadly ground offensive while it hammered out the details with international envoys.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
