I pour myself a heavy glass of cabernet. Finally home after a long day, and I intended to enjoy my evening.   I was alone, for the first time in weeks. I love sex with my husband – hell, I ADORE it.  We enjoy a frequent and kinky sex life, and I wouldn’t change anything about it.  Sometimes, however, it’s nice to have some… alone time.  There’s no pleasing anyone else, no time constraints, no obligation to be sexy or loud...

I sighed, closed my laptop, and turned off the light. It was 1:57am and I had to be at work at 8am - story of my life. I was restless with worry about impressing my boss at my new job, but staying up late and getting five hours of sleep was probably not the way to do it. I was in a state of too much stress, not enough down time, and practically a zero in my sex life. Every 23-year-old's dream, I thought to myself. I fell...

I lay in bed, laptop on my lap. It was my day off and I planned to make the most of it. I logged on to one of my favorite sites for a while, catching up on the latest stories and reading a few I had bookmarked. Sufficiently worked up, I headed to the chat rooms to find someone to chat with. I started a few chats, none really piquing my interest or leading anywhere.

I had never been in a truly functional, mutually satisfying, and comfortable sexual relationship with someone. They had all been either one-sided (three guesses whose side was favored... not mine), unfulfilling, or sexless. I was so tired of being asked what I wanted, and unless I gave Google Maps-worthy directions, I didn't get anything.   I know it's hard for guys to understand what I need as a woman, but sometimes we w...

I excitedly put the rest of the white wine in the ice bucket on the table next to the cheese tray.  I am hosting a few girls for appetizers and wine, and as a mother of two, I rarely get to entertain or spend time with my friends like this.“Okay honey, we are leaving,” Todd kisses me on the head as he grabs a water bottle and heads out the door.“Where are…” I start.“They’re in the car already. I promise I’ll try to not ki...

Black Friday… a day to indulge and justify all kinds of extravagant purchases. Not. I detest Black Friday, but it seems that every year I find it irresistible to make purchases. $150 off a new phone, 60% off here and there. Big purchases that I could never otherwise justify are just irresistible on the infamous Black Friday. I wake from my food, wine and comfy guest bed – induced stupor at my parents’ house. A night of la...
