Condoms: Healthy Sexual Behavior in Women Over 40

Submitted by: Big Little Wolf Are you single? Sexually active? Do you assume your partner or partners are healthy? Bad call. Disease isn’t personal. It isn’t judgmental. It doesn’t know if you attend church, if you brush your teeth and floss. If you’ve only had two sexual partners in a lifetime, or 302. What about [...]

Sleeping With A Man After Divorce

Submitted by Delaine Since separating from my ex-husband three years ago, I haven’t slept with many men; in fact, less than a handful. Oh – let me clarify:  I mean actually sleeping with men.  This has been the case for two reasons.  One, I haven’t wanted to sleep beside most of them.  And two, I usually have my [...]

Sex vs Lovemaking – Why Are we so Confused?

Submitted by: Big Little Wolf Did you get lucky this week? Or should I say, did you score? Did you hook up? Or are you more comfortable if I ask if you made love? Whatever you call it, great sex is great sex, right? Not exactly? Then do our distinctions in terminology serve us, or [...]

LUST: Damned if You Give Into it, Damned if You Don’t

Submitted by Delaine As my divorced girlfriend Amy told me about a recent first date she went on, she was practically squealing.  For not only was her date smart, funny and gentlemanly, she was very sexually attracted to him.  “I kept having to tell myself to stop staring at his lips,” she laughed.  “My mind kept flashing with scenes of us getting [...]

Haunted by Ex Sex

By Peter Ehrlich I’m haunted by my Ex Katherine. Not by that went wrong with our relationship, but what went right with our relationship – our love life. After being laid naked, fetal-positioned, paralyzed, and wanting by our breakup, I want to attempt a sequel with my Ex.  I am willing to work harder on [...]

“Honey…this is sex not love.”

Submitted by Delaine We enjoyed each other for hours.  And it was as wonderful as the other four times we’d been together.  Passionate.  Intense. Deep.  Freeing.  But as I lay snuggled against him in the aftermath,  eyes closed, brain off in Post-Orgasmic Wonderland,  I suddenly heard:   “I love you, Delaine.” My eyes flew open.  Did I imagine that?  Oh God, on [...]

First Time Encounter: The Weakening, Sensual Touch of a Man

Submitted by Delaine She said that within seconds of meeting him, she knew she was attracted to him.   And over the next two hours as they sat laughing and talking on their first date, their chemistry was so intense, it was palpable…. But somehow…somehow, she sensed there was something different about this man.  There was just ‘something’ in his energy…the way he looked at [...]

Dating Younger Men – Would You? Could You? Dare Ya!

Submitted by Delaine When I first started dating after divorce, I felt like I’d arrived on another planet.  Not just cause I had no idea how to date again, but because it quickly became apparent that a new ‘phenomena’ had come to town since I’d last visited:  Young Men Seeking Older Women.  And oh yeah -  [...]

Sexual Adventure: Less Than A Bump & A Grind

 Prior to that night, I’d met him three times for dinner. And even though mentally and physically he charged all my cylinders, I kept my foot on the brakes; I wasn’t just looking for ‘any’ lover, I wanted an ‘alpha’ lover – a man who was strong, passionate, and very much in control, both inwardly [...]

One-Night Stands – Qualifiers & Disqualifiers

Recently my friend Sheila had the opportunity to go home with a lovely young man from a bar.  We’d all been out for a rare night of drinking and dancing and as the evening wore on, her engine got all revved up:  “Just look at all those beautiful shoulders!” she exclaimed.  ”HELL-O!”  So how pleased was she when a 30-year-old, soon-to-be [...]
