I love Tupperware and Southern Living at Home and Creative Memories, but that was a new one for me. Sethina, you should host an online party and see if they'll give you the 10% proceeds in cash for MomMD!

You know that is a GREAT idea!! I'll look into it!

I haven't been near the broadband for 4 weeks, and look at all that has happened.

I had terrible experiences with most of the antidepressants. Celexa almost completely turned me off, even with self-stimulation. Serzone is only a little better. Welbutrin does not have the same effects, but the other side effects were a problem. I was in a relationship at the time so I could test myself with both intercourse and autoerotism. Losing the depression was a good thing, but the side effects suck!

actually one of my classmates had one of these parties right after our block 2 tests with less than 10 people and the sales woman made $900 dollars on commission!!!!! that is ALOT of toys.

Some advice for those of you who are "not in the mood" to have sex, instead trying to focus on sex and liking sex and how to do sex, etc....Try to focus on your relationship with your spouse, rekindle a starry-eyed love between you two...Now i know no relationship is perfect, so work on other issues that might be frustating you (e.g. annoying habits, handling finaces, etc). Basically what I'm saying is try to improve your relationship with him overall, and the sexy mood stuff hopefully will follow. One more thing...if there is something that your husband does while you're intimate that you're not comfortable with, discuss this openly with him. If he isn't open to listening to your feelings, maybe you feel hurt or resentful inside and that's why you don't want to open up to him?

Ok, here it goes...I have wanted to ask a question about sex, but I have been too embarrased to ask.

I had a resident in a residential care facility that was having a.n.al se.x with another resident. She seemed to have problems related to it. Does an.al s.ex mess you up or not?

I'll explain a bit... I'm interested in Ob/gyn, among other specialties, and was always curious about this one, but asking anyone is a big no no. So with a little bit of anynimity, I got a little gumption!

unclear of "resident in residential facility"- is that a NH patient? a mental health patient? an assisted living situation?

and is this a consensual act?

It was a level 2 nursing center, basically right between a NH and assisted living. And technically it was consensual.

Hey, come on, guys. I know New Hampshire's got a lot of the toothless and crusty, but they're generally functional people, even during the primaries.

and re the original question: If by "problems" you mean emotional or physical damage...it can mess you up if you're not careful (rough, unhygienic, getting toys stuck) or you don't want to be doing it. Just like with any other kind of sex. Not my cup of tea (and yiiii, esp. with postpartum hemorrhoids, sounds like bad sex all around), but plenty of people seem happy with it.
