You’re not alone. Most of us can revisit romps of yore in our minds that titillate – and – WOW! – suddenly a coy knowing grin appears. Jeannine tells me she can still see him standing outside her bathroom door, waiting for her. Donning only his jeans, shirtless, tan glowing pecs, hands on hips. Oh [...]
Ok, guys. Step up to the plate here. Help me out. Here’s some information that I think is just flat out wrong. Let’s set the record right.

5.11.10 For Better or worse? No amazing secret say 50+
My friend Joan intends to write a book called The Duh Factor… a tale of all those self help books that conclude, with great flourish and drama, in a big blinding flash of the obvious. A big, “well, Duh!”. We’ve all read them – the ones [...]
