It was an ugly death for such a pretty boy. Neighbors complained of the smell. Police clambered into the canyon and soon found the corpse, rotting in a heat wave, a distilled water bottle between...

I was 19 years old before I learned that urine does NOT leave the body via the vagina. I successfully repressed that humiliating memory until a few months ago when we began to think about...

There's something powerful about a first positive pregnancy test. If the pregnancy is wanted, it is a moment of awe, fear, and triumph. If the pregnancy is unwanted, it is a terrifying sword of...

We could call it POK for short—a support group for parents of kinky teenage and adult children. Of course, if it were called Parents and Friends of Kink, we could then call it P-FOK. "Hey, hon, I’m...

“In some ways, this was an easier journey for us because we knew we’d need donor sperm going in,” my friend G said.
G is one of my favorite people. Her college boyfriend was my first kiss in high...

My partner and I are both only children. We are the sole people responsible for our parents as they age, and we both know the joys and discomforts of being the sole recipient of parental...

I took my thirteen-year-old son and his friend to lunch today and, as a sexologist, it is my firm (get it, firm?!) belief that this should entitle me to at least five continuing education credits...

Last night I was treated to a romp through the current state of my psyche, thanks to a nightmare. The plot was cliché, something I would never write in my fiction because of the lack of originality...

It's really easy to say you'll be a cool sex-positive parent when you're picturing teaching a young child the correct names for body parts, having a frank discussion about sex and why safe sex is...

Not long ago my partner and I had the opportunity to fly to the West Coast for a weekend. We would be gone less than two days, and with that in mind, we decided to leave the Little Mistress with...

It has been a year since my daughter, the Little Mistress, was born at the ungodly hour of 5 AM in November of 2008. Celebrating her first birthday was an opportunity for my partner and I to take a...

“You're going to have to beat boys off with a stick when she's older." The speaker, an older woman, smiled affectionately at my daughter and brushed a hand over her dark wispy hair.

Lying in bed, caressing my swelling stomach, pondering the changes our daughter would bring to our lives, my partner brought up the question of nudity. There was much back-and-forth about where and...

"We weren't."
"Badly."
These were the responses I got when, at six weeks pregnant, I first started asking more experienced people in the scene how they handled being kinky with...

There was a time when my husband and I thought we might sacrifice a goat. We'd been spending a lot of time camping in the desert sun, and I think we might have boiled our head. We'd also been...

For those who have been reading here since the introduction of the term "vulva guilt," an update: my daughter seems completely unconflicted about both her genitals themselves and the proper...

"Have you got two balls? Yes, you do! Two balls! One in each hand! What nice balls!" croons my friend Constance to her son, sniggering only silently, and probably again while transcribing...

"Oh, we're not having sex," said my friend S. when I asked about the state of the love life post-baby. "We made a decision to put the baby front & center while Beth was in med school and...

Saturday Night Live did not invent the term "mom jeans," but they sure popularized it. While I knew they'd run a "mom jeans" mockummercial, I was initially afraid to watch it...
