Have you ever noticed that there is no Miss Manners etiquette regarding the appropriate level of sex noise?
Once while staying overnight in a hotel at about 1 a.m., I woke up to a couple zealously having sex in the next room. It then happened at 1:45 and again at...

Sometimes I'm disappointed how young women take for granted their right to orgasm. It was a hard-won battle by feminists in the 1970s (feminism today being a four letter word).
That is, until I realized this generation -- if up for the task -- has an equally challenging battle...

If I could write a letter to men (not all men, but many men) on behalf of many women, it would go something like this:
Dear Men,
Women want sex to have a beginning, middle, and end.
In chick-language, sex is a journey, not a goal-oriented destination....

As I limped "blue balled" to read a book in bed I said to my husband in frustration, "You know if you were fixed, we could be having sex right now."
Equally as frustrated he replied, "What's wrong with using a condom!?"
"I'm ovulating today" I...

A few years back...my husband took the homemade frozen muffins, put them on the bright blue IKEA plate, placed them in the microwave, turned to me and asked, "How long should these be in the microwave?"
Innocent enough question. But I was up at 3:00 a.m. with a teething baby,...

Has "I'm too tired" become the new "I've got a headache"?
Today's average couple is always on the go and busy. Somehow getting through each day stretched for time, overworked and tired. It's not surprising then that being tired gets in the way of them having good sex on a...

I believe "sexual incompatibility" is often the catch-all excuse many couples use because they don't know how to work through their outside-the-bedroom couple issues.
It raises the question: Is the fall-out from a divorce really worth it because a couple wants to believe they are sexually incompatible? I would...

I'm glad the Fifty Shades of Grey (FSG) trilogy and its 15 minutes of fame are over. I couldn't for the life of me understand why such a poorly written book became 2012's biggest blockbuster seller since there's much better erotica to read. I also could not understand how such...

Six weeks after my second son was born in 2009 I embarked on a "Six Month Sex Challenge."
My motivation was simple: after having my first son -- who was 26 months at the time -- trying to get sex back on track was, at times, a complete...

The Sex Doctors , Dr. Brian Parker and Dr. Trina Read, discuss the difference between men and women's genital image.
Dr. Brian's Point
So Trina, we've already discussed that 80 per cent of women aren't happy when they look in the mirror, but what do you chicks think...

My introduction to the penis was unceremonious and pretty typical of a five-year-old: I will show you mine, neighbour boy, if you show me yours. By 13, my girlfriends and I successfully came up with all the ways to say penis from A to Z. I'm still trying to remember...

For over a hundred years, sex researchers, feminists and pop culture have been enmeshed in an ongoing debate as to which is superior: the vaginal or clitoral orgasm. Regrettably, their high-brow ponderings have left the average gal in their wake wondering whether her orgasm is either real or...

While speaking at a sex show in Vancouver, a colleague mentioned a discussion with her morning waiter from our hotel restaurant. He confessed to her that no woman he has yet met was "perfect" enough for him.
As such he decided the best compromise was to buy...

A friend of mine came home to find her now ex-husband in a, ahem, compromising situation. She laughed, recounting how he frantically pulled up his pants while muttering inane excuses. It was clear he was far more embarrassed by the incident than her.
After the laughter subsided, her mood...

I believe it was the media frenzy surrounding the Tiger Woods scandal that made sex addiction 'real' to people. Ironically Tiger probably doesn't have a sex addiction. Poor judgment certainly, but a sex addiction, maybe not.
But what does a small matter like possibly misdiagnosing a celebrity have to...

I did a TV interview in 2009 on the topic of "teen girls are swapping sex for ... just about anything."
The debate was between the author of Oral Sex Is The New Goodnight Kiss, Sharlene Azam, an Edmonton journalist, and me.
The interviewer first asked Azam where...
