The Many Uses of Acceptance
The other day I was sitting in traffic. Well, it was gridlock, actually. (Imagine, gridlock, right here in our little suburban area!) While I was sitting there, I was experiencing calm acceptance of being stuck in traffic. Not that I usually experience calm...
Thank You to My Lovers
Dear Lovers of the Past, Thank you for the experience that we co-created together. Even those of you with whom I didn't even have sex. You were still my lovers simply because we shared love. Our involvement may have lasted for one hour, one year, or much longer. ...
The Metaphysics of Mary Poppins
The other night I found myself at a local performance of Mary Poppins. I say "found myself" because literally four hours earlier I hadn't even known about the show's existence, and suddenly I had great seats next to three friends- for free even! Now there's an...
What Makes Someone Good in Bed?
Have you ever wondered what makes some sexual partners a-ma-zing, and others not so much? Well, I certainly have. I mean aside from the obvious stuff, like their personal hygiene is good, you find them attractive, bla, bla, bla. Not that that stuff's not important-...

Radical Thoughts of the Day
Remember the other day I recommended questioning everything? Well, let's question some more things. It's fun. How about marriage? Apparently, more and more people are questioning marriage. Today, thirty percent of adults in America never marry. That's higher than...
Question Everything, Including Authority
My ex-husband and I were both raised Catholic. So we know what it's like to sit through those Catholic masses with all their rituals and prayers, repeated over and over each week. In the Catholic mass, there's a part when the priest says "body of Christ" and the...
Just Say Yes(tra) to Zestra!
There seems to be this new trend of sex toy companies sending out free products to people like myself, in hopes that they'll try the product out, use it, and then write a blog telling the whole world how great it is! My friend got a "Magic Banana" sent to her. (She...
