This is more a “reply” to the whole thread than to the OP per se, but the following is an anecdote about a marriage therapist my husband and I went to see about two years ago. Background (all of which the marriage therapist knew—it’s not as irrelevant to the story as it may at first seem): I was/am a lawyer, at the…

Same. And in a different vein, their remix of Ne-Yo's "Get Down Like That."

The lower frequency of orgasm among women is disappointing, but it's not all that surprising . . .

Well, probably no one will get this (but that's okay, it will be bumping around in the gray), but: Emma Snyder on As The World Turns did it first. Also, I kind of now want to see if this book comes in Kindle. But also: five years working on it?! Though she's published a book, and I haven't . . .

Yes! Either that, or she's been stalking/sweating/uncomfortably drunk flirting with some finance/law guy who's a friend of a friend, and he's been ignoring her or something ("Maybe he just doesn't get FB friend requests on his phone? Right?"). So now she feels like she came on too strong, or wants to make him…

I read her original article because I didn't understand this article. So, being catcalled is her kink or whatever (she describes it as making her feel euphoric, soaring, etc.). Almost no one else I know feels this way. It's fine that she does, but it's not fine that she tells other women "deal with it!" She's not…

Oh my gosh, so many thoughts. In no particular order: he declined your FB password because he likely already secretly has it or hacked your FB account; or because him constantly trolling your FB friends is enough control for him and has led to you already de-friending so many guys that he feels he has that one…

Is this a true story? :( I hope this is not true. He sounds like a parole officer. I know it's hard to hear things about people we love but—and I read your above comment about his ex-wife, so I am giving him the benefit of the doubt that he is "scarred," etc., etc., and has been "burned" and "has a good reason to…

He also has it in his mind that platonic relationships don't exist unless both parties are married (see part about unfriending FB friends). So if any of my (now few) male friends agree with any of my political/social "feminazi" posts that dude must want to fuck me and an argument ensues.

True. Thank you, and good luck.

Wait wut. Xarelto can "stop working"?! (My husband also had DVT and PE and has a genetic predisposition; literally every doctor recommended Xarelto over Coumadin.) Tell me more about this "stopped working"!

And it's important to point out "consistent" can encompass a 5 or 6 day "range," in what day you get your period, i.e., both my gyno and my RE told me, in effect, "if you are getting your period some months on Day 28 and some months on Day 33, you are still regular" (there's a 5 or 6 day range either way included in…

A friend's doctor wouldn't prescribe one for her; told her "this isn't the '70s." I took from that that he wouldn't get a pharmaceutical company kickback but maybe I'm too cynical.

I read that article, too. And another (attendant) issue is—"kids these days" are not used to not being "supervised" (or having adult playmates/attention) and are freaked out by it. Like a few months ago, before it got really hot (so it was maybe 79- 80 degrees) we (my husband and I) sent the kids (who are his from a…

Childcare should be more affordable. But this instance wasn't even about childcare. A 9-y-0 boy is old enough, and worried enough about being "cool," to not need or even want his mom at the park. It sounds like he was just walking to the park to play and she was going to stay home because, you know, a 9-y-o doesn't…

For reals. My 10-y-o stepson is bored by the park now, and just wanders then sits down, and it creates a bit of a problem b/c his 8-y-o siblings still enjoy it, so it's not something we can take all three of them to anymore.

Who are these people who keep stopping these kids to ask "where are your parents?" It's one thing if the child is wandering aimlessly for an hour in a circle, or crying, or looking upset/lost, and I just don't have enough information to know if this child was. But I never just randomly go up to other people's…

Yeah exactly what I was going to say . . . or women under 5'4" (because "Petite" seems to mean 5'4" to J. Crew, Ann Taylor, etc.—leaving out the many women who are 4'11- 5'3" (and I'm not even including little people; just average-sized but shorter women)) . . . or women over about 5'8"/5'9" from what I've heard from…

I thought he used the term (which is pretty "soap opera," as someone above pointed out) advisedly. Because asking, "If you weren't in love with me, why did we have sex?" would sound kind of silly, since all kinds of folks who are not in love with each other have sex (as do people in love—but it doesn't imply love as…

What stuff Nick? Were you a virgin? Did you do creative sex stuff with Andi? Were you just in love?
