I agree; couples therapy is complicated and challenging, and it of course only even has a shot at working for people who actually go to couples therapy. The management of medication side effects isn't a simple as 'stop taking it'; a good physician can often find either alternatives or additional medications (e.g.,…

There are lots of couples in which the partner who wants sex more frequently is the woman, although it is less common than the other way around. I disagree about the simply letting the person who wants sex less frequently be the gatekeeper, though. There are other solutions that can be explored in a good couples…

Couples therapy can definitely help, and I recommend it. Do some work first and find a good couples therapist (ask lots of different people for a recommendation). Couples therapy is tricky to do (from either end - and I've been both client and therapist) but the potential for gain is large.

Good point. And most people probably do it without gloves(!). Imagine the filth.

Can you imagine anything more wholesome than getting a woodie for your wife of many, many years? I cannot.

Seriously. I have a hard time imagining anything less creepy. Kayaking? Doing laundry?

I thought about that. It's one of those products that screams "easy to make," and I imagine it is. It's right ont the price bubble where making it myself starts to make sense, too.

That's interesting, and entirely contrary to my experience. I wonder if the difference is in how we used it or type of shoes - my experience is with soaking wet (imagine standing in a lake for a few hours) shoes. The shoe dryers worked absolute wonders for me, and I've recommended them to many, many friends all of…

Or, if you have $34 and would like a method that actually, reliably works: http://www.amazon.com/PEET-M97-FSB-O….

Your point is a good one. I was thrown because (a) I'm slow and (b) the acidic gel part; well the acidic part. Solved that non-riddle as well. I'll be over here, being worryingly slow...

How do we know that?

I would feel bad doing this for my pets, since it would feel like I was trying to get out of interacting with them. I would totally do this for myself as a portion control measure, however. A device at my desk that deposited the right amount of snack food on a schedule? I'm down for that.

You're right, of course, but it's also possible to do some things wrong, and, if you do them wrong, you're not likely to get the benefits you would get from doing it right.

If we were talking about prostitution, then maybe (although the evidence on that seems mixed). But surrogates? There are places with surrogates, and, in general, the surrogates there are not the poorest and most exploitable. So what leads you to this conclusion?

I've been following IFLS since almost the beginning, and she has implicitly mentioned her gender many, MANY time. She's been in video interviews. The story seems to be, "people who don't pay much attention suddenly surprised by something that was fairly obvious since the beginning."

I do that more or less daily. If I don't, I start to get very grumpy.

Thanks.

I talk about that study all the time. ALL THE TIME. Of course, I'm a sex researcher, so that makes sense. So... Thanks for bringing it up!

I very much liked the style of the video, but the table is (a) much too heavy both visually and literally, (b) the protruding threaded rod/nuts are maybe OK aesthetically, but for table purposes are shin-magnets. They could easily be countersunk.
