Should women get to have a say in when they have sex? I would think that the answer to this is pretty obvious. I don't have time for a long post today, but I want to talk about a social media trend that's been occurring, I think because of my obligation sex series. ...
Is there a way forward after obligation sex? If obligation sex has been the norm in your marriage, and if it's been affecting your libido and your marriage, what do you actually do about it? How do you recover from it? This month on the blog we've been looking at...
Can feelings of sexual obligation affect your libido long-term? This month we're talking about obligation sex. We started last week by noting 10 things to understand about obligation sex, when I wrote the definitive post of everything that I tend to talk about with...
Sometimes libido differences can send you on a negative spiral, where both of you are constantly feeling rejected. In about 7 weeks (yikes!) our manuscript for The Great Sex Rescue is due in at the publishers, so I'm frantically writing. I would have been doing that...
Is the antidote to lust that men learn the "bouncing your eyes" technique, as advocated in Every Man's Battle? We've been talking about new ways to think about lust this week, with Keith's post yesterday (and our podcast coming up tomorrow. UPDATE: It's live now!). In...
What if the real reason that lust is bad really isn't about sex? i've talked about lust before on the blog--with the question "is lust really every man's battle"? I've written that noticing is not lusting. But my husband Keith wanted to chime in today, as he writes...
I think a lot of people read my blog because they can't talk about sex in real life. Seriously, we just don't talk about this stuff. Do you know which of your friends has trouble reaching orgasm? Which ones are battling an erotica or porn problem? Which ones are high...
What happens if we tell women that husbands are entitled to sex--no matter what? I'm a big proponent of sex in marriage. Most of what I write is about sex. I have a revamped version of 31 Days to Great Sex coming out this summer with Zondervan. I've created a course...
If you're a Christian, can you be a sexually confident woman? Absolutely! In fact, you should be a sexually confident woman, because you understand the richness of how God made sex! I'm just back from an amazing vacation (and I'll post about it on Friday; I really...
Postpartum sex can be a potential minefield of fears, insecurities, and frustrations. But does it have to be? Rebecca here on the blog today! My baby boy came into this world with a bang--and by "with a bang" I mean I pushed him out in 5 contractions leaving me with a...
Do you find it hard to get comfortable with your body? And is part of the problem that you just don't understand how your body works? I just finished a few posts about the Ultimate Women's Wellness Bundle to help you understand your body. But what if you didn't get it...
Feel like you have no libido--as if it's in hibernation or something? You're not alone! This post contains affiliate links. I love talking on the blog about how libido is so much more than just physical--how it's spiritual and emotional, too. In my Boost Your Libido...
I've talked a lot about masturbation in marriage on this blog before. I've tended to come down pretty hard on masturbation (I really hope there's not some ugly double entendre there that I'm not seeing) in the past when it's done for selfish reasons. In this post, for...
How does porn use before marriage affect marriage afterwards? I wrote a big post on how porn hurts your sex life earlier this week, and I felt like it was such an important subject (and we got so many comments) that I thought it was important to expand on it a bit and...
If a guy (or a teenage girl) has grown up using porn, how is that going to affect marriage? I'm going to take a bit of a time-out from Christmas posts today to talk about something that's come up lately that I think is important. If you've been married for less than...
