It looks like those rumors of a shotgun wedding were true! After photos surfaced of Penelope Cruz looking super-pregnant on the set of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, the actress’ Spanish rep confirmed this week that Penelope and her husband Javier Bardem are expecting their first child.
Pinkee here~ Talking about sex toys one more time this week. As promised, we are moving on this week to some of the more “advanced” toys. Anal sex is definitely not for beginners. It takes, in order for it to be pleasurable, a lot of lube, and an open mind. And, it also takes a certain preference. Not all partners are going to want to even try anal sex. However, all is not lost. Anal plugs and “butt beads” are other options which fall short of anal sex but can still be lots of fun.
I’ve been working on my new book and it’s thrown me back into the time I left my partner in 2007. As I re-read what I’ve written so far, it occurred to me that we had a ridiculously long honeymoon phase in our relationship. For most couples, the honeymoon lasts a few months to a few years. For us it lasted sixteen years.
Pinkee here~ As promised, this week we’ll be talking about the next step in sex toys, dildos and vibrators. Let’s start with dildos. Dildos are, very bluntly, fake erect penises. They come in many different shapes, sizes,. and colors. If you were to buy one for your woman, what type should you buy?
If there’s a former child star who is desperately in need of a reality show, it’s Jodie Sweetin. Best known for her portrayal as Stephanie Tanner, the uneviable middle child on the wholesome family show, Full House, Jodie retired as an actress at the age of 13, only to end up an unemployed, meth addict in her early twenties, who got drunk and high every chance she could get. But after a few false starts at sobering up, a tell-all book, some reportedly large breast implants, and two failed marriages, Jodie has cleaned up her life and recently gave birth to her second child, a baby girl named Beatrix Carlin Sweetin Coyle.
Did you guys hear this one? Tony Blair is sticking up for his political pal, Bill Clinton in his new memoir, A Journey, attempting to justify the former President's infidelity. Blair, who calls Clinton "a great guy, a good president, and above all a friend," doesn't just praise Clinton's political prowess but dives into his juicy personal life as well, offering his take on what prompted good old, Bill to have that infamous affair with Miss Monica Lewinsky.
Lila here~ A few weeks ago, my friend Adam blogged about the 3 P’s of relationships from an Imago Relationship Therapy standpoint. The 3 P’s are: Pick, Provoke and Project. First you pick a partner who reflects the positive and negative traits of your caregivers when you were a child. We call this your imago match. Then you provoke those traits to come forth. At first you provoke the positive traits, but after the honeymoon phase of the relationship is over, you provoke the negative traits to come out. Then you (I say you, but we all do it) project those traits onto your partner, whether they actually have them or not. If you’ve ever thought or said, “you’re just like my father (or mother)” then you know what projection is.
Pssst. Are you a publicist looking for a job? Because Tiki Barber, who the New York Post is reporting has hired a third PR company to "polish his image," might be in need of a fourth one. The ex-Giants football player, who earlier this year left his then 8-month-pregnant wife of 11 years for a 23-year-old, blonde, former TV intern, just doesn’t seem to understand why people think he’s a dirt bag. And he is doing everything he can to try to "spin his relationship" with Traci Lynn Johnson into something positive, including hiring multiple publicists to get out the word that he’s not such a bad guy.
Pinkee here~ I have recently had a resurgence of my love of sex toys. (It’s been a long-standing love affair.) I know some of you guys out there have some issues with toys, though. I’d say the two most common ones are either you have never used toys with your partner because you’re afraid she is too conservative, or you’ve never used toys with your partner because you’re afraid she will like them more than she likes your penis.
Lila here~ I thought it would be helpful to share a little exercise developed by Harville Hendrix. It’s a great way to figure out what your imago is.
