Whether you have just started dating someone or have been in a relationship for some time, there are three things you are doing that are destroying your relationship.

I asked a group of 1367 Sassy Midlife Women what they wanted most in a man. These are their top 21 answers in order of popularity. It is interesting to note what is NOT on this list — there is nothing about height, or weight, or job, or age, or bank account. Penis size did come up, but… Read More

Before I was married, I spent most of my time sampling a smorgasbord of lovers, without feeling any need to restrict my appetites to only one person.
