Looking for That One Thing Sure to Spice Up Your Sex Life?
Hotter, more enjoyable sex—who doesn’t want that? It can be a constant quest for a new position, technique, or toy. Maybe you’re even considering BDSM, polyamory, or “swinging” to bring new life to your intimate encounters. The truth is, there is very little “new”...
How You’re Giving Up Control in Your Marriage
Do you believe your wife tries to control you? Do you try to control her? This whole idea of one partner “controlling” the other is, quite frankly, a cop out. It is an abdication of your personal responsibility for what your relationship looks like. But the idea of...
