A kiss is one of the most intimate things you can do. Many men have won many ladies with a good kiss. Even Disney knows you can live happily-ever-after, if the right man kisses the right woman in just the right way.

The Depth of a Man

Carista Luminare on the depths, challenges, and glories of a committed relationship.

The Depth of a Man I was greeted this morning by a love note from my beloved.  He had written an essay about love, and read it to me. Of his love for me, he said, “It is deep and profound, like the ocean." I felt undulating waves of affection rise up through me as I heard his words. I embraced his tenderness, his love, and the depth and glory of him.  Every woman wants to be loved this way!

Men’s Dirty Little Secrets – Part 2

Men’s Dirty Little Secrets – Part 2

Your guy's not as much an open book as you think. Here are a few more things he's kept from you.

As promised, here is the second installment in my exposé on men’s dirty little secrets. As I’m sure many of you know, men are visual beings.  We are motivated to action and stimulated most by our sense of sight.  As such, when we see something provocative it can have a profound effect on us.  And by profound effect, I mean, we get an erection.  It’s automatic, we think very little about it and are fairly accustomed to it, as we have regularly had to deal with this “affliction” since we were but mere lads.  And all o

Loneliness can create blurry vision. How to know if the person you are dating is mean.

Everyone is a mixed bag, the kindest person will become irate at times, and the meanest person can be found every now and then throwing some change at a homeless person.  Dating, that effervescent mix of loneliness, want, desire and impatience, leads to blurry vision.  How do you know when the person who is sharply ordering that second dessert to the slow waitress is mean or just having a bad day?

She Wants To Be More Than ‘Friends With Benefits’

Casual sex was fine at first, but now she wants more. Trouble is, he doesn't. What's a girl to do?

Question: I am fairly young, 23, and I've been hooking up with this guy for 7 months now.  When we started hooking up he stated that he didn’t want a girlfriend, and he still feels the same way. Recently I told him that I was developing feelings for him. To protect me from getting hurt he decided that we should end things, saying that he didn’t want to hurt me in the long run (which he believed was inevitable).  Knowing that he said that and that he was capable of doing such a hurtful thing,

Is Daughter’s Mouth Pushing Boyfriend Away?

Is Daughter’s Mouth Pushing Boyfriend Away?

She's your pride and joy, so anyone not charmed by her humor must be overly sensitive, right?

Question: I have been with my boyfriend for over two years. He often complains about my seventeen-year-old daughter. When we’re together she will sometimes tease him or say something that bothers him, and he will get up and leave, then call me and tell me why he left.  I have spoken with my daughter and she doesn’t feel that she’s done anything wrong.

Why You Shouldn't Take Everything So Personally

Why You Shouldn't Take Everything So Personally

Take a chill pill.

In the middle of a serious conversation a few weeks ago, my husband got up to get himself a cup of water. I was incensed! Here we were, having this serious discussion and he has a sudden urge for water that he couldn't control? In a fury I tell him, "I would never have done that to you!" I felt totally dismissed by him. You know what else he does? He sleeps when he is tired, and he goes to the bathroom when he has the urge. For women … these actions are revolutionary. For men, setting aside these needs would be insanity.

From a straight male perspective, your vajayjay is our most popular "leisure-time" destination.

For those of you who were expecting a column on that Southern California tourist attraction known as Disneyland, I'm afraid I have bad news for you. This article will contain no mention of the Monorail, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, or Pirates of the Caribbean (other than the one immediately preceding, of course). No, this is a tribute to another attraction that is, in fact, every straight man's number one favorite destination … your own Magic Kingdom: your vagina.
