Closing the Door on Open Marriage

I’m watching 20/20 this weekend and they’re featuring a special edition, The New Sex, which discusses sex in our society, topics that include male gigolos, the bestselling book, 50 Shades of Grey, and celebrity sex. I always find these shows interesting because they tap into one of the most powerful elements of relationships…sex. And, if you know me, I’m not one to cast sexual judgment on a...

More Than 15 Million Per Milliliter, Please

“Old” Starts with “O”, Too

And, the mom and dad who’ve been married nineteen years and who have three kids ranging in ages from 10 to 17 have decided how they will spend their Valentine’s Day together. They don’t want to go out to dinner; it’ll be too crowded. They...

Has Charlie Sheen gone over the edge? I don’t know, but I would bet he probably has. But, so have many other people. Thing is, his nosedive makes the news because he’s a celeb who had a hit sitcom it the midst of his downfall. And, what about his lifestyle? Living with two women, nearly half his age (one a porn star, the other a model for a marijuana magazine) who are helping him raise his 23-month old...
