He was a rather rumpled gentleman, 40-something, about 50 pounds overweight. The type to be overlooked by women glancing across the room. He wore an easy grin, let loose a contagious belly laugh, and the fact is – he reminded be a bit of Oliver Hardy – yes, as in Laurel and Hardy.
He was also [...]

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?

Dear Future-Object-of-My-Adoration,
Let’s make things easier from the beginning, shall we? I enjoy a boatload of “stuff” – you know – good, touchy, playful, devilish, wild, tender… stuff. But don’t stick your tongue in my ear. Please.
Gross
I’ve been giving this considerable thought. For years. And I’ve reached the stage in life where I must speak out [...]

There is a dab of Chanel between my breasts.
Yes. Come closer.
I have poured myself a drink and spread myself out, on top of the bed covers, propped against red pillows in all this turbulence. Sleeplessness tangles sheets and twists blankets. As for the rest of the room, it is chaotic and I have only [...]

Married sex!?! Is it an oxymoron?
Oh, there’s nothing like a great roll in the hay. Or on a nice mattress, if you prefer not plucking straw (or splinters) out of your hair and derrière, respectively. Mmm… images of an open field, a soft breeze, a sensual afternoon… all the more delicious if love is in [...]

There are hard dates, soft dates, and other such matters.
Okay, okay – I know what you’re thinking, and yes, I do love to play with words. Isn’t wordplay a most delicious part of foreplay? Don’t you appreciate a double entendre now and then, or even occasionally, a… triple?
