How To Add Spice and Romance To Your Relationship With Feng Shui

Friday, May 17th, 2013

By Guest Blogger Kathryn Weber

When it comes to slipping between the sheets, the last thing you’re probably thinking about is feng shui in your bedroom. Yet it’s the feng shui of your bedroom that could just make the difference between a so-so romantic experience and an overarching deity of oohs and aaahs.

Bedroom-Feng-Shui-These-Days

Bedroom parity can solve the bedroom rarity of solid and satisfying sex for both partners. Yes it can. How can that be? Well, think about your bedroom as a symbol of your relationship. Is it broken down in the middle like the mattress and filled with laptops and tablets, similar to the way your work intrudes in on your love life?

Maybe you have a stack of books a foot tall next to the bed. What does that say about what the bedroom is for? To get your love life into a new gear, take a good look around. If your bedroom says mommy and daddy, exercise, work, reading, shopping or any other word besides rest and romance, there’s a problem.

The Morning After Pill Now Over-The-Counter: The On The Fence Debate

Wednesday, May 1st, 2013

Well my fellow parents, the FDA announced yesterday that “the morning after pill” will now be available to teenaged girls 15 and over without a prescription.

keep-calm-and-take-the-morning-after-pill-7

WOW.

Which leads me to the big ON THE FENCE questions today:  How many more STDs (possibly life threatening) will this lead to? How much more teen promiscuity will now follow? How “safe” will our teens’ sex really be now? How much abuse of this moring after pill will occur? It’s an attempt to erradicate unwanted teenage pregnancies, but is it smart?

Sexual Skin

Friday, January 18th, 2013

By Guest Blogger Tara Baboushkin

I was one of the last of my friends to have sex. Yup, I admit it, practically a whole year behind the rest of my group. Now, that’s not to say that I wasn’t sexual, I just wasn’t having any sex. Like my other friends, I had a boyfriend, I went to grad – in short, I had opportunity. But I didn’t have sex.

So what does that make me? A prude, a priss, a “good girl”? By some standards, yes. By male standards, definitely. Perhaps even by some of your standards too. By my own standards, however, I was anything but.

The truth is that I was, in fact, very sexual and very sexually curious. From a young age, the idea of sexual intimacy as an expression of emotion and love fascinated me. I was always asking my parents to “TV kiss” (in other words, smooch) in front of me to show me they were really “in love.” Like most young girls, I fantasized about kissing my fifth-grade crush and slow-dancing with the cutest boy at the Saturday night camp dance.

The Other Side of Victim

Friday, November 9th, 2012

By Guest Blogger Christine Macdonald

Just before my alarm went off, I opened my eyes and rushed to the bathroom mirror. They were even darker and more pronounced than last night.

This wasn’t a dream.

I ignored my mother’s voice coming from downstairs and stayed with my reflection. Standing frozen, as witness to the aftermath, I stepped outside myself, in awe.

“Okay!” I shouted from behind the closed door, turning on the shower to appease my mom. But I couldn’t move. Getting ready for school would have to wait.

Seconds morphed into minutes and all I could do was stare. Stretching my neck to one side, I slowly traced each marking, gently pressing them with the tips of my fingers.

Wordless Wednesday: Sex in the City

Wednesday, October 24th, 2012

I ran away with my husband to New York City on a fast 3-day trip for his business, and my pleasure. Shhhh don’t tell anyone.

I haven’t spoken to my kids. I’ve been up all night having SEX fun in the city. And I may never come home. I’m enjoying my man so much. I can’t remember the last time we were away together without the kids. Which reminds me, how are my kids? ;)

Alone at last

Hubby and awesome cousin.

Lychee Martini. Cheers!

Modern Love

Friday, October 19th, 2012

By Guest Blogger Susan Houde

While reading the latest issue of Glamour Magazine last night, I came across an interesting article. Titled The Curse of the Just-OK Marriage,” it is based on excerpts from the book Marriage Confidential by Pamela Haag. She addresses the “Post romantic age of workhorse wives, royal children, undersexed spouses and rebel couples who are rewriting the rules.”

Wow, that is a mouthful. Today, I am focusing on the marriage part.
