If you've ever watched porn, you've probably gazed with a sense of perplexed wonder at the crazy entanglements the performers manage to get themselves into (and out of). If you're like us, you may have even tried a few with mixed results. The point is always to experiment; however, in......
Having been together since 1988, my wife and I have pretty well run the sexual cycle; from hot, youth driven four-times-a-day beginnings in our early 20's, to flat, work stressed periods, pre- and post-childbirth and everything in-between. We've visited swing clubs (as voyeurs), played with every sex toy imaginable, watched......
For those of you who don't follow the machinations of Burning Man, the annual festival in Nevada's Black Rock Desert, this column may not hold as much meaning as those "in the know," so to speak. For us, however, this year's event is bittersweet for two reasons; first, the event......
So, we're cruising through our 20th anniversary earlier this year, blissful as can be, when we decided to do what (we assume) most couples do on a regular basis; that is, evaluate our relationship. A "state of our union," so to speak. And though we found things to be pretty......
We're not complaining (well, maybe just a little), but summer sex has been a bit, shall we say, lacking. The return of normal temperatures has our non-air-conditioned house sweltering during the mid-day, despite marine layer cooled mornings and ceiling fans cranked all the way to max, making for laziness in......
It's been a while since we last appeared in LA Weekly's After Dark LA blog. Many of you probably don't know that we began this column more than five years ago in the print edition of the LA Weekly. Alas, cyber memories are fleeting and our decidedly down-tempo take on......
It's only natural that, after 22 years together, we'd experience periods of sexual dry spells. In fact, we'd be surprised if most couples in similar lengthy relationships enjoy our level of intimacy and frequency even during our lulls. True, we do run an adult business, giving us access to toys,......
"If he already knows what pleases him and he can please himself, then why am I in the picture?" U.S.politician Christine O'Donnell Few outside the most extreme fringes of the so-called Tea Party movement actually take anything that nut job says seriously; however, just because Miss O'Donnell is plumb loco......
Returning to the newly revamped After Dark LA posed an interesting challenge for the two of us. First and foremost, the new slate of writers (Sam Phillips? How the HELL do we share space with that kind of talent?) brings a decidedly hip and upscale vibe, often clashing with our......
For whatever reason(s), we've found ourselves in a mild funk, intimacy-wise. Since starting our year off with a literal bang, the sexual heat has dissipated slightly, with frequency dropping from our stable average of three-to-four times weekly to once or twice. Though precipitous, what worried us was not the number,......
