faking an orgasm,

It's 11 p.m. You've had the most hectic day imaginable (kids + chores + appointments + errands = total mom exhaustion). Your man, on the other hand, is feeling frisky and wants a major sex session. You don't mind compromising a bit, but as far as you're concerned, Orgasmland might as well be in Timbuktu, because it's going to take you hours to get there. Is it okay if you, er, fudge a little in order to move things along? Dr. Jane Greer, a marriage and family therapist in New York City and host of the radio show "Doctor … Read More

Baby got back hair, and you cannot lie. Your other sisters can't deny.
hairy guy

Last December, I briefly dated a guy who was on the hairy side (c'mon now, it was winter, and it was cold!). While I think that a bit of hair on a guy's chest and back is sexy, lots of hair -- we're talking fur -- is NOT. Watch: Do Women Like Back Hair?

What I've found, however, is that some women LOVE hairy men.

"I love me a big hairy bear of a man," blogger Momma Sunshine tells us.

"The more the better," another single mom shares. "I once dated this guy whose back was hair-free—except for … Read More

The story of not only attending, but being part of an ex's wedding party.

I didn't really know what to expect. Would the groom keep a tight grip around Anna's waist and eye me suspiciously all night?

Whether you're a bride, part of the wedding party, or merely a guest who's excited to dress up and get wasted on someone else's tab, the wedding experience is something we're all familiar with. But when I was a bridesmaid in my ex-girlfriend's wedding, I didn't really know what to expect.

On a hot summer day, not too long ago, I packed my red chiffon bridesmaid dress and boarded a plane heading north. Landing in Portland, … Read More

Well, you better get used to it, because all across America, in sleepy suburbs just like yours, moms are hiding secrets. In Part 3 of momlogic's "Secrets in the Suburbs" series, we pierce the veil of secrecy surrounding the mysterious and often secret world of polyamory. In Relationships, Does "Normal" Exist?

sugar daddy dating site

Simone Dadoun-Cohen is an entrepreneur, former exotic dancer, wife, mother of three, and pot-stirrer. Her website, EstablishedMen.com, seems recession-proof, as it counts over 250,000 affluent men and beautiful young women among its members.

family picnic

Many couples decide to get back together after a long or short period following separation or divorce. While reuniting is exciting, it is also stressful.

Many thoughts enter the couple's mind: Will it last this time? Will it turn sour again when we are living together? Does my partner think about the other lovers? Will he/she abandon me again? How will our extended family and friends react?

Sorting through this emotional turmoil is hard enough; but when children are involved, it's a whole different ballgame. The primary concern for these couples is: How will this affect our … Read More

Recently, one of our readers shared a story about how on a vacation with a group of friends, she witnessed her girlfriend's husband being downright nasty to her: "We were all hanging out and she said that she wanted to go charge her phone and he got so angry at her.

How could a smart, sweet, successful woman be with such a jerk? At … Read More

surprised son

I store my secret and satisfying lover in the hidden compartment of an ottoman in my bathroom. Towels are piled high over it, and inside I store all my overflow of beauty and hair products. Deep within that pile is a compartment I stash my "toys." For the past month, I've been finding my vibrator with the batteries dead and always left in the "on" position. I like to conserve energy, so I know I NEVER would have wasted a AA battery in a recession with an amateur move like that. I didn't have the guts to confront my husband, … Read More

Dr. Michelle Golland: I was not surprised by the 2006 Newsweek article that reported that 15-20% of us are in "sexless" marriages. The article defined this as couples having sex less than once a month, or on average, 10 times a year. Watch: Am I Wrong To Like Sex With … Read More
