I just read an article about the pharmaceutical companies search for the female Viagra. The article referred to it as the “pink Viagra” (the male Viagra is blue).

Viagra for Women: A Man’s Dream
Sunday, April 24th, 2011Fighting About Sex
Friday, April 15th, 2011
My husband and I are both 25 years old and have been married for five years.We have a four year old son. It seems that we are constant in battle with one another.Now we argue about sex. He gets angry when I do want to have sex as much as he does. I am willing to have make love with him once a week. However, I used to enjoy sex, now it is a duty. In addition to raising our son, I try to do things around the house to make him happy. It seems that nothing I can do will please him. I would love to feel the way I used to about him and about love-making. What can I or we do?
Parenting Interferes With Sex Life
Sunday, April 10th, 2011My wife and I have been fighting all night about sex. She wants me to get her more in the mood. I work all the time so it’s very hard for me to do that and have sex, but I feel as if she’s never in the mood. She never tries to have sex with me except maybe once a week and it’s always when I get off work. When we first got together we had sex all the time. Then our daughter was born. I didn’t think it would change anything since were both very sexual, but her sex drive seemed to stop and mine seemed to sky rocket. What should we do?
Relationship With A Married Man
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011
I was stupid enough to have a relationship with a married man. We’ve been together for two years. He has been married for nine years. Recently, his wife who has always been emotionally abusive, found out about us and has done a complete turn around. She is suddenly willing to go to therapy, to think about his needs, etc. after nine years of the absolute opposite behavior. He says he loves me and has always maintained that he won’t let her ‘trap’ him again (they were married because she got pregnant). Yet she’s once again manipulated him (even after she kicked him out of his home, wrote me a letter about how terrible he is, and forbade him from talking to his kids) and he’s decided to “give her another chance”. I love him too much to let her hurt him again and I see it happening all over. What do I do?
My Husband Is Not Attracted to Me
Sunday, March 20th, 2011
My husband is not attracted to me AT ALL. We have been together almost three years. We are both 36 years old and this is the second marriage for both of us. The first six months of our relationship was great; we had sex two or three times a week. In the last two years I think we have had sex five times. We have had sex twice in the last year. Now I am eight months pregnant. Every time I try to talk to him about our sex life, it turns into a huge argument. I am at my wits end and considering leaving him after the baby is born. He says he loves me, but is stressed out from work. Or he accuses me of only being interested in sex; he calls me a whore because I ask him for sex. I am an attractive woman and I never have had this problem with anyone in my life. Please help me!!!

Thursday, March 10th, 2011If Sex Is Beautiful, Why Isn’t It Discussed at the Dinner Table?
Friday, February 4th, 2011
People, especially Americans, are very awkward when it comes to their attitudes and behaviors about sexuality. We will share recipes for good cooking, but not recipes for good sex. We take cooking classes and dance lessons, as well as lessons in anything else, but when it comes to sex we are on our own to learn by trial and error. As a sex therapist I am always surprised by how uncomfortable people are with their sexuality, how little they actually know about sexuality, and how misinformed they are about various aspects of sexuality.
Sex Is Not a Sport
Friday, September 24th, 2010Though often talked about as though it was a sport, sex is not a sport. Perhaps if it were a sport, just like with any other sport, people would be open to receive coaching, would talk about it at the dinner table, they could take lessons; in fact, there might even be classes in high school devoted to the sport of sex. But as it is, even sex education is banned in most schools.
Alcohol and Substance Abuse: Part 3 (of 3 parts)
Saturday, September 11th, 2010Is Once a Week Too Much?
Friday, August 27th, 2010After 25 years of marriage our sex life is not bad, but my husband believes he is “entitled” to sex at least once a week. Sometimes even that feels like too much for me, and I don’t like to be “pressured” into having sex if I don’t feel like it. We are in our 60s. Is there a normal, or average, amount of sex for people our age? What is the appropriate response when one partner wants sex once a week and one doesn’t?
