Let me start with something I used to joke about. In my thirties and forties, when I woke up with a morning erection, I would nudge my wife and tell her we should not let it go to waste. That there would come a day when I might not have
Let me be direct about something. Dirty talk turns me on. There is something raw and sensual about letting your inner desires move from your head into actual words, spoken out loud, to the person you are in bed with. It adds fuel. It opens things up. It is, in
We have a simple practice. The morning after we try something new, we check in. It is not complicated. There is no structure and no script, just a conversation, usually as we are lying in bed before we start our morning, about what happened the night before. What felt good.
A few years ago, three things happened more or less at the same time. Our kids were growing up and becoming their own people. We moved out of the state we had both grown up in, left behind the life we had built there, and started something new. And I

I don't usually write about television. But I watched Prime Video's Off Campus last week and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I enjoy young adult entertainment more than most people my age will admit. It keeps me relevant. It gives
