  • Re: Dry Land

    Oh come on, sex is now somehow more important than love? That's not a world I want to live in. Don't get me wrong, sex is great and very important to me but I would never dream of ditching my husband if we hadn't been sexually compatible. Which, seriously, what does that even mean?

  • The security paradox

    I tend to take a more liberal stance than Nehring on marriage but I laud her critique on relational security. The obsessions with committment and security have replaced deep desire and insatiable attraction with a calculable assessment that asserts structure and control rather than flexibility and emotional relaxation. Love has never been more ...

  • A valentines day thought...

    From The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri: Paradisio: Call it not love, for Love to heaven is fled Since sweating lust on earth usurp'd His name.
