  • 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?

  • Bunk!

    Aw, c'mon; this is obvious. Most men will have a daily date with their hand if the opportunity is there; ergo, most men have probably gained as much fertility as they are going to get already. My husband preferred wanking to sex with a fellow human - me - while developing a growing desire to father a child. Must have been especially gifted in ...

  • Thank you for writing this!

    ... this story is heartbreaking and infuriating. Of course the elderly are full human beings, have an evolved sexuality, and should have full access to their sexual rights. If our legal and familial institutions are not set up to handle these realities, they need to change. Many cultures have either formal or 'look the other way' valves to ...

  • ovulation can be fun

    Call me when they invent a pill that just gets rid of menstruation, and isn't a birth control pill. I sometimes think our whole discussion women's monthly cycles is focused way too much on menstruation, only discussing ovulation as it pertains to pregnancy risk. Benefits of monthly ovulation:1. Mood is almost always better during ovulation than ...
