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 [...]

I became a slut for my ex. I was open to anything he wanted to do sexually. I guess it’s good for me that there wasn’t much he was interested in sexually…least of all me. I was so desperate for a husband who wanted sex with me I shutter when I think of how vulnerable [...]

Submitted by Delaine It’s been three and a half years since my ex-husband and I split up. And since then, despite the many dates and mini-relationships I’ve had, I’m still single. But I don’t think of this as being a ‘bad’ thing ; I think I’ve needed this time – to heal, to grow, to like myself more…and to get [...]

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 [...]

Wondering how to attract a man and keep him coming back for more? It’s easier than it sounds.

Submitted by Delaine Moore So I broke up with someone last week – a single dad of two. He’s the first man I’ve gone out with since divorcing that I contemplated getting serious with whatsoever.

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 [...]

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.
