The 72 Hour Rule is Made Up by Evangelical Authors. Yep. This month on the blog we're "fact checking" common sex beliefs, and one of the biggest ones in evangelical circles is the 72 hour rule: the idea that a wife must have sex with her husband every 72 hours,...
Is there really such a thing as “blue balls”? This month I want to start a new series on the blog called “Fact Checked it For You”, where we look up some of the most common outrageous claims made about sex, and see if they actually stand up to scrutiny. We’ll be...
What happens to women’s desire level if their husbands don’t do housework? This month, our series on the blog is going to focus on some new studies that have recently been published in peer reviewed journals. We like keeping up with research, and we shared four new...
Do alpha males always get the girl? The comic book character Archie was always your typical beta. So was Richie Cunningham from Happy Days, while Fonzie played more the alpha. And girls prefer bad boys! Don't they? Well, maybe the whole alpha and beta thing isn't that...
How can we define a sexually healthy man? I've just spent a year thinking about what it takes to be a sexually healthy woman--after doing our survey of over 20,000 women last winter! You'll see all about it in our upcoming book The Great Sex Rescue. But while I talk a...
When we think of porn, we tend to think "sin". (It's Sheila introducing this post, but I'm going to put Rebecca as the author since most of these are her words below!) When it comes to porn, what if there's more going on than just "sin"? What if an action can be...
"When I orgasm, it's okay, but it's not amazing or anything." I've heard that from many women in the comments this month, and Keith and I talked about one such reader question on the podcast last Thursday. I was actually going to launch a new series today on emotional...
I'm pretty sure that when most people start The Orgasm Course, they're going to head right to Module 4. That's where we talk about sexual technique and how to figure out arousal and orgasm! That's where we go over erogenous zones and how most women like to be touched...
Do you wonder if orgasm will ever happen for you? Or whether it will ever happen without a vibrator, or during intercourse? When I give my Girl Talk in churches (my sex talk for women!), I always pray over everyone at the end. And I try to mention in that prayer some...
Who doesn't want to have an orgasm? We've been talking all month about orgasms--why it can be difficult for women; what can hold some women back; what makes it more likely to happen.And it's all been leading up to today--the launch of the Orgasm Course!...
Often what we think about sex gets in the way of great sex. We're in the middle of our orgasm series, and we're less than one week out from releasing our Orgasm Course! I'm so excited (though I still have a ton to do!). One of the things that we've talked about...
What do husbands who care about their wife's pleasure and their wife's orgasm actually do? We're in the middle of our orgasm series, culminating in the release of our Orgasm Course next Monday (Yay!). Katie's frantically editing the last of the videos, and Rebecca's...
Is orgasm elusive because the whole time you're worrying that you're taking too long? We're in the middle of our October orgasm series, leading up to the release of The Orgasm Course on October 26! I spent most of the week at my daughter Katie's house right now while...
About a quarter of women never reach orgasm, or very rarely reach orgasm, when they have sex with their husbands. Another quarter orgasm only sometimes. According to our survey of 20,000 Christian women, only 48% of women is orgasm reliable. During the month of...
Can research point us to what makes women more orgasmic--and what makes orgasm less likely? Rebecca here on the blog today! My mother, my sister and I are going full tilt creating The Orgasm Course (now there's a sentence I never thought I'd have to type), and as I...
