Think of it this way. When you’re in bed with your husband, can you tell his different non-verbal noises apart? I bet you can. And I bet he can tell yours apart, too. But you didn’t start out knowing what certain noises meant. In fact, the joy of your sex life and your intimacy together […]

Hello – nobody watches the Oscars to see who wins. They watch to see who loses! And what they wore.
