Does dreaming about sex with a coworker reveal a subconscious attraction to him? How should I interpret a recurring dream that I'm married and someone's trying to steal my baby—when in reality I'm single and childless? Why was I riding a carousel with my mother-in-law last night?

If you remember your dreams, you no doubt would like to know what they mean—especially the crazy ones. (And if you don't, real-life Ghost Whisperer Mary Ann Winkowski has a tip to help you remember them.)

Yes, I love my husband and family and wouldn't change a thing about our family unit. Now that I have made that obligatory statement, let me get to my point. There are certain issues that I have with the institution of marriage, which offers both wonderful benefits and incredible challenges, often in the same day. Here are the five things I hate about marriage.

1) Bathroom sharing. Frankly, there is no man on the planet with whom I would willingly share a bathroom (except perhaps an out-of-the-closet gay male with pathological OCD). In my experience, men have horrible toilet aim, … Read More

You know, there's a significant group of people out there who think sex is overrated. We've met them, and while it seems like an asinine thing to say, we think we know why. Unhappy Marriages Really Stress Women Out

Sex, one of life's most treasured sources of pleasure, can leave some feeling—well—how do we say this?

Unfulfilled.

Yeah. That's how we say it. 10 Simple Things Women Want

And not necessarily in a physical kind of a way (although many of us also walk away orgasm-free. Two for the price of one!), but emotionally. Something is just kind … Read More

Anyone who's been in love, lust or a variation of the sort knows about becoming attached to a scent. Tommy Hilfiger cologne, Old Spice deodorant with a hint of sweat, and Trident gum all come to mind. The funky side of this olfactory attraction is when the reminding scent happens to be an unpleasant one.

Armpits, for example, are not famously sweet smelling. Yet, nestling into a man's nook and inhaling a mix of his natural body odor (with a trace of deodorant) can be comforting, arousing or both. The same goes for morning breath.

After alternatively sweating and shivering (sometimes simultaneously) for 10 hours last night, I realized the most important thing in life is a good night’s sleep. In fact, Coach Finstock (Teen Wolf's basketball coach) sums up life thusly: "There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese." Words to live by. How is … Read More

A new sleep study reports that women in unhappy marriages suffer from more sleep problems than those in happy unions. Kind of common sense, but it's the first study to track marital satisfaction and sleep and sleep problems lead to other health issues. So before you hit the hay, hit the marriage therapist's office. You'll thank yourself in the morning.

It was cute at first—how Zoe* would fall asleep in seconds and announce her triumph with a stubborn little snore. For fun, I used to time how long it took between the end of our nightly conversation and the first soft rumblings from her side of the bed. (The record: 11 seconds.) It was a quirk, I reasoned, one of many that made Zoe special, different, mine. Before long we fell in love, there were more nights together, and her "quirk" began to lose its luster. Her snoring regularly woke me up and kept me there. The days after … Read More

I suppose it’s a little TMI that as I was surfing Dear Sugar, I immediately clicked when I saw "Not a Fan of Sex Before Bed? Try This." (Hey, I have a kid. A very time-consuming one.) Let’s just say I can relate. We're not all night owls. And I found the tips somewhat useful, such as:

"If you have too much on your mind to feel sexy, write a list of your thoughts in a journal before you get into bed. If you're thinking about tomorrow, make a to-do list—it'll feel like a huge weight … Read More

Ah, Valentine’s Day, the one annual holiday where couples-only need apply. It’s one thing to keep your Valentine happy in the short term. Expensive baubles and dinners will do that. For the long haul, however, more original techniques are required. Having taken the vow, everyone wants a long, loving and happy marriage, yet half of all marriages are destined to fail. As a 42 year old male Manhattanite who’s been with the same woman for 17 years, married 12 and had a child for 5 I think I … Read More

From The BBC

Imagine finding unexplained condoms around your house and then waking up one night to find your partner having sex with a stranger.

It might sound like an affair, but what if your "cheating" partner was fast asleep during the act?

The phenomenon, called sleep sex, was described to doctors at a meeting in Australia.

Sleep physician Peter Buchanan, from Sydney's Royal Alfred Hospital, described this real life case.
