Men Only Cheat When…

Recently I was asked to write a guest blog post for Met Another Frog, about the myths behind men cheating.

Met Another Frog is geared to urban women and offers stories, social commentary and ‘edutainment’ about:

  • dating and relationships
  • love
  • sex
  • achieving personal satisfaction on one’s own terms

My challenge? Explain the myths behind men cheating.

Read on, and let me know what you think.

Realization: My own practical demons

Since writing the post ‘Realizations: I Just Wanna’ Have Fun’ I’ve realized something. Where Steph has often cited cost and practicality for reasons that we don’t try new things, events, places, etc. … I’ve always – in my own mind – cited the need for sleep as a reason not to fuck.

Realizations – I just wanna' have fun

I have a personal rule that I try to follow as much as possible. I don’t like to blog when I’m angry or emotional. I know I’ve done it in the past, but I highly prefer not because then I hit you folks with emotional diarrhea and I embarrass myself on the off chance that I . . . → Read More: Realizations – I just wanna' have fun

Under One Roof

Over the past few years as Steph and I have gone through different dating situations, we have always discussed the pipe dream of living with those we’re fucking. Triad relationships, two couples living in the same house; these are all things that sound good in theory, and hey, who knows what the future will hold for . . . → Read More: Under One Roof

And the lady will have …

The jury is still out on chivalry and its relation to equality, and I think always will be. The politically correct ninjas of the 90′s would like everyone to believe that men and women are equal, but I think somewhere along the line the message got a little skewed. Just like in that little book, oh . . . → Read More: And the lady will have …

Comper … what?

I’ll admit it. Even though I’ve been in an open marriage with Steph since August of 2006, I can be a bit of a polyamory newb sometimes. It was only this past winter when having dinner with S (guy I dated last summer / fall) that he mentioned the term compersion to me, assuming that I . . . → Read More: Comper … what?

Dating Horror Stories – Episode 3

Keep ‘em coming! This dating disaster comes to us courtesy of Jay at http://jesterjay.tumblr.com. This story sparked a bit of conversation at the office today. Should his friend have told him everything about this girl? Should his date? Does it matter? It’s not my place to judge, just share the stories.

And *Poof* – He Understands

*Disclaimer* – You’ll probably notice in this post that I talk quite openly about issues my husband and I have had in the past. I write this with his permission, and he has given me his blessing, and I thank and love him for it. I am a very lucky woman.

I’m not sure how it happened, . . . → Read More: And *Poof* – He Understands

BD what? … Part 2

As if opening up your relationship isn’t sometimes intimidating enough, imagine how it feels when one partner decides to pursue outside BDSM relationships. Without proper communication to discuss the ramifications of this, things can get sticky, so I offer you some thoughts / experience / advice to take with you.

To start with, don’t judge – try . . . → Read More: BD what? … Part 2
