Folk Wisdom: Your sex life survey: Quantity & Quality

Wise Readers,

It’s only natural to be curious about others’ sex lives.  The quick 7-item questionnaire at this link (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NCBDGPX ) is about sexual quantity and quality.  As always, it’s anonymous—I won’t know who you are unless you tell me, and even if you tell me, your name will be altered or deleted so that nobody else knows.

Cheers,
Duana

WHEN LOVE STINKS: Smell, The Pill, Marriage, and Online Dating

“I recently got off The Pill, and suddenly cannot tolerate the way my husband smells.” “I fell in love with someone online, and then when we met in person, he (not his cologne—he) smelled wrong.” Yes, scent is a deal-maker or deal-breaker for many women.
