The fastest way to a woman’s heart… stir her pot!
Time on Your Hands?
Spare time? Are you kidding? What do you do when your friends or partners can take time off, and you simply can’t? When your schedule is bursting at the seams, even on the weekends? What if you feel like there’s never time to catch up, to take stock, to plan productively, much less to snooze, […]
Pucker Up
How much do you know about your teenager’s social life? How much does he or she know about yours? I can’t remember ever catching one of my sons in a furtive lip lock. (I suspect that both are smart enough to retreat to the leafier areas of our yard, to their rooms, or to a […]
Kids Use Condoms, But Adults Don’t?
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 your teenagers? Do they use […]
Three little words
Three little words – you know the ones. We all want to hear them. We all want to say them. Those three little words are spun, sung, whispered and wished for.

Great dates! (And the Dating Disappearance Act.)
Better Sex Life? Cosmetic Surgery
Looking for a better sex life? Try this. Think those people keeping the plastic surgery business booming are going under the knife to crop that crooked nose? Think again! It’s boobs, booty, and more boobs. Reality TV, ads, films, internet dating, your local Whole Foods – everywhere you look are examples of nip this and […]
Wanted: Men in togas. Pay negotiable.
“There’s been a shocking shortage of togas in my life,” she said on the phone. I considered her remark for a moment, running through the past years of coffee dates, dinner dates, dessert dates, assorted cocktails. Cocktail napkins for that matter. Quite right. Not a toga among them. Hell, not even a Third Date toga. […]
Third Date Sex (and the LDR)
First, check your teeth for a bit of broccoli. Use the rear-view mirror if you must, as he runs into the Seven Eleven for you-know-what. It’s the third date, and you’re GO for lift-off. Sex! Kissing is key, but if you’re about to embark on Third Date Sex (TDS) you’ve already sampled the smooching in […]
