5 Signs You're Carrying Emotional Baggage

Though you've now been told for about the 37th time that, "it's not you; it's me," we're thinking it's time to consider the fact that it might, in fact, be you. And no, we're not insinuating that he broke up with you because of the way your hair frizzes up in the summer, or because you're always leaving ...

How I Know We're Ready For Kids

When I was young and channel-surfing, I happened to catch the tail end of The Boy Who Could Fly. Your typical dreams-do-come-true '80s movie, it revolves around the life of an autistic boy who has a fascination with flight. In short: ...

The Female Libido: 5 Ways To Turn Yourself On

My libido has never been particularly off the charts but, lately, I've come to feel that—due to the perpetually barren desert between my legs—I'll never find my way out of this vast Sahara of a sex life. It's disconcerting. It's frustrating. But I'm not the only one. Per Read More

MY RECENT COMMENTS

I don't have any tattoos (I'm a wuss about pain and permanence), but I think they can be beautiful... ESPECIALLY the sleeve tattoos. In fact, I often daydream about getting a rainbow of cat paws on my wrist or shoulder, or getting my favorite Emily Dickinson poem about writing tattooed on my upper thigh or on the inside of my arm. But you're right. Even among our own generation, there's judgment. My husband hates them. When I press him to tell me why, he says that he feels people do it to be rebellious, and he thinks that's dumb. I tell him he's generalizing, and that tattoos can be meaningful, or like art. But he won't change his mind. Sigh. I love that you're rocking those tattoos, and I don't think it reflects one bit on your abilities as a mother.

Posted on: I'm A Responsible Mom And Wife—And Yes, I Have Tattoos

Ha! Funny you ask... I've actually been very lucky to be married to the man I'm married to. As a sex writer, I'm so fortunate to be with someone who's such a ham, and loves seeing himself in my personal writing. I must admit, though. This was the first time I ever felt nervous writing about him, so I asked him for permission before taking the assignment. He agreed, on the grounds that he would read my piece before I turned it in. He's happy as long as he's not misrepresented in any way.

I'm glad you enjoyed our story y'all! Meet up at Santacon next year? ;)

Ditto what BookMama said. I wouldn't care -- and it shouldn't matter -- except for the fact that she holds herself up as a paragon of purity, and presents that as a major aspect of her platform.

Posted on: Poll: Does Christine O'Donnell's One-Night Stand Matter?

Thanks Kristin! You make a good point about moving in together pre-marriage. We did the same thing, living together for almost a full year before we said "I do." I didn't want the stress of that moving-in-together transition overlapping with the stress of the "holy-shit-I'm-married" transition. :)
