Lawsuit over...sex?!

A couple in Nice, France got divorced, and the woman cited her reasoning as being lack of sex in their 21 years of matrimonial 'bliss.' The husband said he was tired and had health problems, therefore not wanting to engage in sex. The judge in their divorce proceedings obviously didn't think this was a legitimate reason--he fined the now ex-husband 8,500 pounds (over $13, 600!!). The judge claims that marriage binds you to your spouse physically and by abstaining from sex, you are not fully involved in your marriage. Apparently there's a French civil code and in article 215 of that, it states that married couples have to have a "shared communal life." Even the Bible says in Ephesians 5:31-'31 "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."' But is it fair to fine a man for abstaining?!

He doesn't want it
The woman is getting her divorce, and it's not like the man just ignored her because he didn't like her (as far as we know). He did say he had health problems, and depending on the what they were, it is entirely possible he didn't have much of a sex drive. There are a lot of questions here though. Did they ever have a sex life? How was it? How long has it been since they had sex? And at what point in a relationship does simply loving someone and enjoying their companionship take over a person's physical needs, if ever?

Five Freebies List--Female Version.

So, I decided to make a list of my five freebies that I would pick, but this time, just girl celebrities. It's easy to have girl crushes--girls are so pretty. The ones I have on my list are hot, but I'd love to look like them too. Again, no particular order. 1. Emma Stone Zombieland, Easy A, Crazy Stupid Love, Friends with Benefits, etc. With a head of fire (though she pulls off any color hair) and a smoky voice, how does everyone not think she's beautiful? Not to mention she's a great actress and has a good sense of humor. And she's only 23!!!! 2. Anna Paquin http://www.trueblood-news.com/anna-paquin-beautiful-mind The Piano, Fly Away Home, Scream 4, X-Men, True Blood, etc. She plays my favorite character from a book, and she does it wonderfully. She portrays a sweet southern girl so well that she makes me want to move down there and be one myself. Plus that episode where Sookie appeals to Eric & Bill in that sexy red lingerie? Yum. Not to mention th...

Five Freebies List.

The holidays were very busy for me, and as a result, I got away from my blog :(. But to my surprise, my views have stayed pretty steady, so thank you so much!!! To ease me back into working on it, I'm doing a fun little post. I was watching Friends the other night when Chandler brings up a 'list' that he and his girlfriend have together. (Here is a link to the video: Friends - Freebie list.    It wasn't posting on here for some reason!) It's a list of five celebrities that you would be allowed to sleep with, while still dating your partner, if you ever get the chance. I found this funny because my boyfriend and I have talked about this before. So, just for fun, here's my list (in no particular order)!!!! 1. Heath Ledger. Candy, 10 Things I Hate About You, Casanova, The Dark Night, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Brokeback Mountain, etc. This man is, to me, the sexiest man who ever lived. It is very upsetting to me that he is no longer here, because I...

Why do you want to be a sex therapist?

Hey all!! I've decided to do an update for you. I hope you all enjoyed my interview with Josh. It was super entertaining and informative for me. Personally, I am monogamous, but I find the idea of non-monogamy fascinating. I do have another interview to post soon with a woman in a similar situation. She is married, yet both her and her husband have a couple of significant others outside of the marriage!! Her stories are pretty crazy, so make sure you stop by to check that out. Now, a lot of you haven't read this blog from the beginning and therefore may not know some stuff about me. I get asked a lot why I want to go into this field. The answer is because I suffered for several years to get answers and information about my own body, and I wish that things like that could be much more obtainable. I got my period when I was 11. I didn't know anything about it and I was too afraid to talk to my mom. I cried myself to sleep and thought something was wrong with me. Through...
