The foreign concept of a sexless marriage

One thing I will never understand, and which I hope to never experience, is a sexless marriage. I was blessed with a healthy sex drive. I’ve had friends who weren’t. They viewed my blessing as a curse. They thought sex was gross, dirty, nasty, wrong, a bother, and just one more thing on their...

The Fifty Shades of Grey Phenomenon: Contemporary Fairy Tale or Porn?

Several weeks ago I was going to write about the E. L. James Fifty Shades of Grey book after watching a segment on the Today show about it. It was featured as the dirty little secret sweeping through suburban book clubs. The return of the bodice-ripper, with a twist…mainly BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance, submission,...

I sell sex toys

As you might have noticed by the ads in the sidebars, I’m signed up with a few affiliate programs. I’ve added another one to my list: adamevetoys.com. I recently hosted an Arbonne party for one of the girls I play volleyball with who sells it. As I wrote about once upon a time, I...

Do you have to be a multi-tasker to have an affair?

Today I saw a troubling article in USA Today called “Sites that cater to ‘discreet’ encounters thriving.” I posted the link on SAHW’s Facebook page and joked, “Good grief. I already can hear the joke jingles: ‘Match.com: Not just for singles anymore.’ ” Seriously, though, the article was discussing a site I’ve written about...

Statues - Kissing 01

What a weird day. Sex and how it contributes to a happy, healthy, long marriage seems to be the theme. It all started at lunch. I played with my friend Lisa. I was subbing in for Cara, Lisa’s regular partner, who had something else going on this morning. But today is Cara’s birthday so...

Sex: What TV destroyed, DVRs have saved

July 29, 2011

At one of my volleyball games a couple of months back I got to talking with some of my teammates about TV’s impact on sex life. Two of the girls were talking about how detrimental it’s proven to be. I was astonished. I’d never heard such a thing. I’d heard it to be bad for...

Forget flying a freak flag, I wanna twirl some tassels!

As I’ve mentioned before (see “Forget Scentsy, invite me to an adult toy party!“), nipple tassels intrigue me. I had seen them before in adult shops and what have you (not that I shop in them a lot, mind you, but I’ve ventured into one or two in my day). I had not ever...

Huh, there really IS a ‘The Big Penis Book’

Last night after the Real Housewives of New Jersey I tuned in for Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. He played a Sex-Actually? game with last night’s guests, Vicki Gunvalson and Dina Manzo. If you have not seen it and did not watch last night, here’s how to play Sex-Actually? Andy threw out...

This one time, on the Internet, I had cybersex

April 6, 2011
By

This is sort of an embarassing confession about a time I had cybersex. With someone other than Wayne. It was back in the 90s when the Internet was new.  I remember being fascinated with the fact we could send emails via our computer and they’d arrive at someone else’s computer right away. No waiting...

Forget Scentsy, invite me to an adult toy party!

In the nineties (and even to a big extent in the 2000s), Pampered Chef was the hot at-home party to throw. I can’t even tell you how many Pampered Chef parties I was invited to. I always thought it’d be kind of fun to throw one, but the trouble was all my friends already...
