Don’t you just hate it when your man turns to you and says, “I like you better without make-up,” or makes some comment about how he “prefers the natural look” — and you remember how you looked when you met, all dolled-up. You (and I) know that he was drawn to you for how you [...]
Two Tickets To Erotica Novella-Land, Maxim Style
In a real shocker, Maxim publishes obvious sex information with girl-on-girl photos. (Just ‘cuz hubby got shafted with a Maxim replacement subscription when Stuff folded, does he have to keep re-subscribing? Maxim ain’t no Stuff; Stuff was Stuff. ‘Nuff said?)
Anyway, the article is all about how people have more sex (including kinkier sex) on [...]
Women Who Want Sex Are Still Novelties

Filed under Reality Self-Check, Sex
We women who admit we want sex must still be novelties if a national television show is putting out a casting call for us:

Filed under Communication, Sex, Studies
That September/October issue of Psychology Today is chock-full of incredible information on relationships. On page 45, an article by Jay Dixit examines how men & women remember and count their sexual partners.

Who Came Last, Brad Pitt Or Your Eggs? Maybe It Was You…
This economy has everyone worried about money, and more results from that sex survey in September’s Health magazine prove it.
According to that survey, women think men would rather have more money (53%) than more sex (47%). (My husband asks, “Why not more of both?”)
