How Much Sex Is Normal?

The former editor of The Erotic Review has surprising advice for the sex-starved.

Rowan Pelling, former editor of The Erotic Review, answered this question in her latest sex advice column for the Daily Mail. A happily married woman with two small children wrote to Pelling complaining she only wants sex once or twice a month. Meanwhile, her husband wishes she’d be “normal” and put out a few times a week. She goes on to lament those “normal” bedroom marathon folks, and how she secretly thinks them all liars or exaggerators. Including a tarty French chick she worked with who ran into the office late out of breath, with sex hair blabbing about her animalistic boyfriend all the time. “Libido is a capricious thing,” she sighs.

52 Weeks To Find A Husband

The race is on for one woman to find love in less than 52 weeks.

While 52 weeks may seem like a long time, Neena has been single all her life and despite the fact that she "doesn't consider herself a desperate single," at 43, the odds are stacked against her. Fans of professional matchmaker Rachel Greenwald may remember the sting of this statistic: There are 28 million single women over the age of 35, but only 18 million single men over 35.

Why Do Newlyweds Cheat?

Reasons why newlywed men cheat and how to prevent it from happening to you.

Unfortunately, but maybe not surprisingly, the rate of infidelity is on the rise among men and women under the age of 35, according to a study at the University of Washington Center for the Study of Health and Risk Behaviors. While men admitted to cheating at a rate of 20 percent, the women were not too far behind in how often they stepped out on their man as 15 percent reported cheating in their marriage.

I'm Just Not That Into His Weight Gain

Overweight partners prompt some women to withhold sex in hopes it might encourage weight loss.

Men have long rejected women because of what they perceive as excess weight. We've all heard of men who pressure their wives, partners or girlfriends to lose weight, and often female fears of losing a man will prompt a major overhaul. On the flip side, experts say women often withhold sex as a weapon of last resort when their partners refuse to or don't lose weight.

To Settle Or Not To Settle?

One writer says: Break down and marry Mr. Close Enough already.

In recent conversations the topic of settling has come up quite a bit. When a friend of ours e-mailed this article with a nudge, saying, "See? This is what I want. A partnership. A man who will vacuum, carry the kids around on his shoulders and hold down a steady job," we gave the topic a good read. In this article in The Atlantic, a woman finds herself, after bravely having had a baby on her own (with the help of donor sperm), pining for a traditional family similar to those surrounding her at the park, complete with ball-tossing Papas. She gives this advice to single women in their 20s and 30s: Settle already and go for Mr. Close Enough.
