Not only was it one of my favorite songs, turns out, it’s one of my favorite subjects!
I’m in an open marriage. My husband is wonderful, but our sex life terrible. There was not only a lack of sex, but a lack of connection as well. As one therapist told him, sex is the glue that keeps a marriage together.
I have a wonderful boyfriend. He too is married, but it’s not like mine. I know, he’s cheating on his wife, but I ask that you don’t judge. He’s pretty sure she knows, but it’s never been discussed openly between them. I can tell you I love him and his family, despite not having met them.
Sex. The Great, the Bad and the Ugly 
Hi, Venus:
We were talking the other day about that Wall Street Journal article about how internet porn (IP) has changed sexual relationships and interpersonal relationships in general. That because of internet porn, men expect equqally higher levels of sexuality from women, and impractical or unreasonable standards of appearance. Also, mostly men, can have an addition to internet porn, that leads to unheaIthy attitudes about relationships and sex.
I suppose I have mixed feelings about this. I know that internet porn can certainly be addictive, that it can consume huge amounts of time and energy in need of a ‘fix’. I’ve often felt addicted to it. I get up in the morning and consume a dose of IP before I start my day. It’s not as intense as it was several years ago, but I often find myself craving it. Whether it’s similar to a drug addiction, I have to question that. If anything, IP fills a need in my life that’s going unfulfilled. I seriously doubt if I were getting regular and enthusiastic sex at home, I’d be so interested in looking at it on the computer. In fact, over the last year, my consumption has dropped considerably. I don’t see it ever stopping completely, my libido would never allow that.
