Ok, so you’re off the hook for this one, but if you don’t watch it, you may be off the hook for your marriage.

Just because your Spouse made you feel a certain way in the past, Does it Make it alright to make them feel the same way?

Your spouse is loving, caring and a wonderful mate, but at the same time they have done things in the past that you just can't get over.

How to Tell Your Spouse You’re Not Getting Enough of “It”

You love your guy. He’s a sweetie, mellow, easy-going. He holds down a steady job and does his fair share of the chores – well, most of the time anyway. He’s good with the kids, doesn’t get too ripped on “guys’ night out” and still remembers your anniversary with flowers. You know women who would kill to get such a guy, so what right do you have to complain?



You squirm. You sigh. You bite a cuticle. It’s just that . . . oh boy, how to say this? You want more in the bed department. Or… Continue

Do women really hit their sexual peak mid-30s

Is it true that women reach their sexual peak in their 30s?

No, there isn’t a decade when a woman reaches her sexual peak.



Dr. Alfred Kinsey book’s Sexual Behavior in the Human Female published in 1953 started this rumor. In the 1940s Kinsey took the sex histories of over 5,000 women and found that the majority hit their sexual stride mid-thirties. As premarital sex was a no-no, by her mid-thirties a woman had been married with a few kids and was therefore less… Continue

YOUR GOD ... or ... MY GOD ... YOU DECIDE (Part 2)



I believed in the Trinity ...and then I looked for myself



The Trinity as defined by

Hastings Dictionary of the Bible Page 1015:



The Christian doctrine of God

as existing in three Persons and one Substance

is not demonstrable by logic or scriptual proof



Regardless, those that believe in and teach the Trinity

believe that it is, "...a necessary "hypothesis"

that there are three… Continue

How To Spice Up Your Sex Life with Variety – Outside the Bedroom!

You: “I’m bored. He’s boring. Our sex life is boring. Our marriage is boring.”

Does Making Him Wrong Make It All Right?

You: Stomp. Scream. Slam. “It’s all your fault!”



Him: Throwing hands up. “I made a mistake! I’m sorry!”



He did it wrong. Again. Your mani-pedi check bounced. How are you supposed to look your manicurist in the eyes next time? OK, at the top of her head. Whatever.



And who knows what else you’ll bounce because ‘you-know-who’ balanced the checkbook wrong. Mistake? Ye-ah.



But let’s see. Does stomping out of the room fix it? Or blaming the whole thing on… Continue

Are You Always too Tired for Sex?

Are you always too tired for sex?

I'm sorry to say this but it is an old belief system that has become a well accepted excuse for women to not want sex.



No doubt, there are many times when a woman/ couple is too tired to have sex. Generally though, being tired shouldn’t equate to a person’s motivation to have sex—a.k.a. sexual desire.



(Analogy: Some women feel she has gained weight because of pregnancy. While the dramatic increase in weight over 9 months, plus all the… Continue

More Older Americans in Poverty

The National Academy of Science has a formula to more accurately gauge the poverty levels in the U.S. For one thing, it takes into account the inflating prices of health care. It also adjusts for those who receive federal aid in the form of food stamps or other programs. What's sad is that when the formula is applied to citizens over the age of 65 the poverty rate hits 18.6%… Continue

The influence of music on sexuality

We all know the importance of music in all aspects of our lives; our musical tastes are as diverse as ourselves and according to the stage that we’re living our preferred rates.
