Is It Really Mismatched Libidos?
You need to ask yourself: Is it really a matter of you and your partner having different libidos or is "mismatched libidos" a convenient diagnosis to a deeper unresolved relationship issue? Continue reading...
Sex with an Ex
There you are sitting alone on a Saturday nite, eating stale Doritos and watching old re-runs of Seinfeld you have already seen seven times. It would not be so bad except you have an itch, a sexual itch that is, in need of scratching. Continue reading...
Sexual Anorexia
For two years my personal coach enthusiastically recommended Dr. David Schnarch's Passionate Marriage: Keeping Love and Intimacy Alive in Committed Relationships as a staple in my sex library. Finally fed up with my procrastination, he bought me a copy which went promptly to the bottom of my ten foot high cue of on-the-go books. Continue reading...
Romance Novel Sex
Ah, my first romance novel. I was 14 years old, reading my very first sex scene in the back of my parent's station wagon heading towards our family summer vacation.

Sex Ed for Seniors
Let us talk about your grandma and grandpa having sex shall we? In recent years there has been a lot more publicity showing that people over 60 are having sex. Not only that, apparently they are enjoying it very much. (If you are in the over 60 category and want a good—okay steamy—read, "Still Doing It" edited by Joani Blank. Most excellent!) Continue reading...
Is Dressing Really the Temptress?
I was absolutely flabbergasted after reading a story in McLeans magazine entitled "Preteen Temptress" (March 2004). Patricia Pearson writes how the vixen half naked fashion look (a.k.a. Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears) is out and a more demure look of buttoned up sweaters and skirts past the knees is in style. Great. I was never really crazy about that look. Continue reading...
