Ok Girlfriends. We’re gettin’ down, dirty and honest today. We’re taking an old topic and breathing new life into it, cuz the double standard still exists in full force in many households today. I know it’s alive and well in mine.
Warning: Today could turn into a bit of a kvetch-a-thon. I’m not sure yet.
So now, let’s look at the definition of “The Double Standard.”
double standard
–noun 1. any code or set of principles containing different provisions for one group of people than for another, esp. an unwritten code of sexual behavior permitting men more freedom than women
Now before I get to MY OWN version of the double standard, I want to present the man’s side today as well. Since this topic is a lot about the battle of the sexes, I want to keep us open minded and present one man’s point of view. Now don’t come find me and kill me, I think he has a point. HOWEVER, my point is better! 
Let’s keep in mind, he is also referring to a “stay-at-home” wife. (more…)

I thought today I’d do a collaboration of ALL the “On The Fence” topics you have suggested over the past year.
It turns out there are MANY.
Here is the top 35! I didn’t hold back. I have kept track of EVERY “On the fence request” since Day 1. Please feel free to voice your faves for further expanded Blog posts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is what you women sit on the fence about:
1. Vaginal coiffing: Full, trimmed, landing strip, Brazilian, The “Telly Savalas”
2. When I get married, whose last name do I use… mine or my husband’s?

By Guest Blogger Dr. Trina Read
A friend of mine came home one day and found her (now ex) husband in—ahem—a ‘compromising’ situation. She laughed recounting how he frantically pulled up his pants while muttering inane excuses. It was clear he was far more embarrassed by the incident than her.
After the laughter subsided her mood completely shifted. In anger she confided, “And then a few months later I found him with his pants down in front of the computer, looking at nude pictures.” There was a nervous hesitation then, “I could never trust him after that. And the mistrust was a big reason why we split up.”
I was writing about Cyber Sex and asking the ‘regular Jane’ how she felt about it. Everyone—I mean everyone—assumed there was something wrong or missing in a relationship in order for an individual to turn to sex on the internet.

I thank my mother, who forwarded this to me. It’s a great reminder. I think it’s something we should all read at least once a week. Make sure you read to the end.

Okay ladies. Things have gotten a little heavy around here. The air has been thick with incredibly moving and captivating stories. So, I felt it was time to lighten the mood. Plus we haven’t talked sex in a while. So let’s do that.
I warn you: this post is for sex and the committed person. If you’re single and screwing your brains out, please come back tomorrow. 
This all started when one of my Twitter followers, (a male), said to me… “You need to write more about sex.” I replied, “I always blog about sex.” He answered, “You only touch on it. I mean a whole Blog post. On sex and the married life. On sex and the penny in the jar concept.” For those of you who don’t know what the ‘penny in the jar’ theory is, it’s this: if you put a penny in a jar for every time you had sex before marriage, and then remove one for every time you have sex AFTER marriage, you’ll never empty the jar.

I blog about all women, for women. I talk about all the issues we as women face today. All the struggles, and all the things we sit on the fence about in life, marriage, career, kids, friendships, health, and more. And I love it. I don’t have to tell you, I say it all the time… I’m living my dream. But I’m only living my dream for one reason… because my husband let’s me do so. So today, on our 10 year anniversary, I want to pay tribute to him.
This is our story…
