Defaulting

My wife and I are socially monogamous but have a DADT arrangement that applies if we’re not in our home city. While my wife would prefer that I divulge details to her, I don’t want to hear her details, so we defaulted to DADT based on my preferences. Because we aren’t out to friends about … Read More »

STRUGGLE SESSION: Maybe Don’t Do The Thing?

Says Thingamajig… Two weeks with no Struggle Session and it wasn’t mentioned on the show this week. Is that feature dead? Struggle Session lives! I’m hosting HUMP! in Berlin next week — as I mentioned on the show — and opted to take the long way to Berlin in order to get as far away … Read More »

Off the Table

I’ve been happily married to my wife for fifteen years. I’m a 54-year-old man, she’s a 55-year-old woman. While sex has never been our strongest suit, we’ve made the effort. But she now finds sex too painful and no longer wants to have intercourse. I’m on the larger side, which may or may not be … Read More »
