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...
Sheila here! As we've been talking this week about new research showing that for many women, sex is like ChefBoyardee ravioli out of a can, I thought I could give you some hope that women can experience Nonna's ravioli too! I receieved this from a reader, and I...
We talk about frequency issues and libido issues in marriage as if they're the problem to be solved. But what if they're more symptoms of other problems? Every now and then we record a podcast that I think is truly important. I mean, I like them all, but some are more...
Are the higher drive husband, and you're wondering what to do because your wife rarely wants sex? We opened the week looking at frequency of sex in marriage. Usually marriages start off with couples having sex relatively frequently (like at least several times a...
Many, if not most, of my readers are low-libido spouses. Sex just isn't the biggest need you have, and quite frankly, most nights you could do without it. I get it. I've been the lower libido spouse for most of my marriage (it does go up and down, though!) Today I...
When it comes to sex, how much is enough in a marraige? How often should you make love? We're in the middle of our libido series on the blog this month. Last week I was asking higher drive spouses if they could be content if they had sex at the very least once a week,...
"How would you feel if your husband only talked to you once a week?" In today's podcast I'm dealing with three kind of controversial issues: Can we be content with sex if we're the higher drive spouse? Are sex and emotional intimacy truly equivalents? Should we be...
If you want sex more often than your spouse, are you doomed to have a disappointing sex life? It's September, and in Ontario, where I live, the kids are back to school today (I know they've been back for a month where some of you all live, and in Australia & NZ, I...
Are you somebody who would actually love to have period sex? I've been writing about periods all month, and last week we looked at period sex, mostly from the perspective that a woman should not feel obligated to give sexual favors then if she doesn't want to. But...
Do you have sex during your period? Or is sex during your period off of the table? We're in the middle of our series on periods! We've talked about the shame that some of us felt as teens; we've talked about how men can be more empathetic and aware of periods; and...
Can men understand sex from a woman's perspective? Or is there such a thing as a "man's perspective" and a "woman's perspective?" It's Keith (Sheila's husband) here again, for our monthly men’s corner! Every month, I try to write a post with some of my thoughts about...
If you're faking orgasm or fantasizing while you make love, should you confess to your husband? Wow. That's a tough one! We're getting to the end of our sex questions series, and I wanted to tackle one that I haven't talked about in a few years. A woman asks:Should I...
When people write in with sex problems, one of the hardest things is that the problem is often not just one thing. It would be wonderful if, when people have problems with sex, it were one simple thing, like: "Our relationship is great and everything is wonderful but...
Today, the updated 31 Days to Great Sex launches again! For years, I published it myself, and it sold wonderfully. But I decided that I wanted it to go bigger than just my blog, so I sold it to Zondervan, and then updated it, changed some of the challenges based on...
