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 complicate matters?
When it [...]

How to Attract a Man and Keep Him Coming Back for More

Wondering how to attract a man and keep him coming back for more?
It’s easier than it sounds. You don’t have to speak a foreign language, live in a loft in a trendy neighborhood, drive a hybrid, or down tequila shots without flinching. You don’t have to be anything but yourself.
The key to attracting a man [...]

Bad Men Bring Us Gifts

Submitted by Delaine
 
Almost all women at some point in their lives attract a ‘bad man’; some of us marry him. And by ‘bad,’ I’m not simply referring to men who are drug lords, pimps, or wife abusers. No, “bad men” are men who don’ treat us and love us as wonderfully as we deserve. They [...]

And JUST LIKE THAT, Love Might Enter Your Life

Submitted by Delaine
Shannon’s day had been typical and ordinary; she’d had no ’signs’ or reasons to think it might be anything but.
At 5 o’clock, having finishing her nursing shift at the hospital, she decided to stop in at a trendy bistro for a drink;  having a drink alone was no big deal to her whatsoever.  She stomped out her [...]

Guilty or Not Guilty? False Representation In The Bedroom

Submitted by Delaine
When my divorced friend Barb moved in with her new boyfriend two years ago, she promised herself she’d make their relationship - particularly their sex life - top priority.  So in addition to their 6-10 weekly sessions of dynamite sex, Barb ALSO decided to make every Friday night all about his  – and only his – sexual pleasure.
Now I’m sure you’d all agree that [...]

A Man Who Earns Me

Submitted by Delaine
Recently I wrote an article about how the phrase ,”I need a man who challenges me’, carried some negative imagery and feelings around it for me.  It reminded me of my younger-day yearnings for Bad Boys (who did me no good) and - as a few girlfriends pointed out -  it had a tone [...]

That Ever Illusive Intimate Connection

Submitted by: Erica Manfred
Intimate connection = Soul Mate
The idea of soul mates wasn’t much in vogue when I was doing personals dating back in the 70s. Now it has become a cliché, and like all clichés has just about lost its meaning.
My ex-therapist Jim, who is one of the wisest people I’ve ever known, used [...]

Am I Afraid to Fall in Love?

A close male friend of mine, one whose opinion I value greatly, keeps telling me:  Gypsy (his nickname for me), you are so afraid to fall in love.  You’ve built walls to protect yourself and keep men out, but you must be careful not to become your own prisoner.
Immediately I get angry at him.  Don’t [...]

The Man of My Dreams Will Lie in Bed With Me & Discuss a Good Book

Submitted by Amelia 
I’ve always wanted to lie in bed beside the man I love and discuss a good book.  To me, the mere idea of it feels romantic.  Intimate.   Even exciting. 
No man I’ve cared for thus far, including my ex-husband, was into reading books.  Sure, they’d pour over a newspaper or the odd dirt bike [...]

Do You Pursue Your Heart’s Desire?

I was reading mommasunshine’s blog earlier tonight. Her post about love not making sense got me to thinking.
I don’t have the best track record when it comes to love but I do have some great memories and two wonderful children and all because I listened to my heart instead of my head.
My father would tell [...]
