June 24, 2011

In Love With A Pussy Man?

June 12, 2011

OMG! You totally should have made something up!

March 24, 2011

Another mom friend of mine had an interesting situation occur.  Put yourself in her shoes as I tell the story and think about how you would respond. Your 7 year old child is at a sleepover at dad’s/friend’s/relative’s house.  Your child is not asleep when an adult/teen/older sibling in the house starts watching a DVD.  [...]

I’m Doing All The Work In Bed

January 12, 2011

I’m normal, healthy guy, not into any really bizarre kink or anything like that, (not that there’s anything wrong with that.)  But, although my partner and I are okay in the sack, I feel like I’m doing all the work all the time, and I’d like to see her really go for it, initiate, be [...]
