Newsletters show up in my inbox every minute of the day and, oftentimes, it's the subject line that will determine whether or not the email will be read, ever.This morning was no exception.
Every one's talking about sex these days. It only makes sense, seeing how the current election has turned everyone from informed voters to opinionated forecasters.
Talking about sex has never been an awkward or embarrassing issue for me, but I did find it ironic that, on the same day, two of my favorite sites that discuss sex and relationships, chose to interpret this chart differently.
Either way, sex talk is the major issue here and I encourage you - NO! - I urge you, to speak out, speak up and speak often, especially when it comes to telling your partner what exactly it is that you need, or where, how and perhaps, how often.
I used to think of Redbook as a magazine for older, married women, but now, suddenly I am that woman (except for the married part)! So help me, I now find myself perusing the covers at the grocery store and just lately, I've been reading their articles on line, including the latest round up of Sex Tips and Tricks.

While the article that is the most popular over at Tango | smart talk about loveis about open marriage, I have to wonder why so many people are opposed to this concept (myself, included).
I have never really thought about an open marriage before (my ex and I were monogamous) and the only image I have of this type of relationship is from the swingers' parties that I've heard about and that are generally frowned upon.
I've spoken to a few people about their experience with having an open marriage. They have all said that it didn't work for them and either the couples experienced conflict and emotional damage from it, or they simply chose to live a monogamous lifestyle, after all.
The fact that so many people are clicking on this article says a lot about the sanctity of marriage (and helps to explain the divorce rate). I think many adults - married or otherwise - flirt with ideas that they're not quite sure about and haven't shared these type of fantasies with their significant other.
The idea of having a relationship which is all about open communication makes complete sense. But why have sex with another person if the goal is to enrich your relationship with each another? Why not talk about your fantasies and find out if your partner is willing to try something new?
The reality for most married couples - I have heard - is that their relationship lacks spark after a while and sex becomes monotonous. Change it up a bit, people. Watch an erotic film together or buy some edible underwear or engage in foreplay that involves whipped cream or body butter.
After all, you might not realize that you and your partner share the same fantasies if you don't ever share them with one another.
Many studies have proved that having an active sex life is good for one's health. Did you know, for example, that having sex three times a week burns around 7,500 calories in a year -- the equivalent of jogging 75 miles? Now, I realize that jogging 75 miles in one year is not a whole heck of a lot to brag about (it's less than 2 miles per week people), but let's not forget the fact that making love on a regular basis can also help lower your cholesterol, reduce stress and help protect a woman's heart (literally and figuratively).
Just Do It promotes the idea that a healthy sex life is also a key ingredient to a healthy and successful marriage. So, what are you reading this for? Go on, you know you need to burn off a few calories.
Having a baby truly does change your life, especially your sex life. I breastfed for eight months and I can recall not wanting anyone else to put their lips - or hands - on me after feeding every twenty minutes for eight long months. My nipples were sore, I was exhausted and wanted to curl up and sleep for those precious moments between feedings.
