Gee Anon
[Read the article: I left an abuser, but now I'm with a married man]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You're a real treat. Yes, everyone should enjoy sex, but can you really and truly enjoy the sex you are having when you know that if the spouse walked in their heart would shatter? Or do you nurture the part of yourself that gets off on knowing what you are doing is not exactly noble.
I am someone that believes in karma, or paying it forward if you will. What you put out into the world, somehow you will get it back. Why make a decision to be complicit in helping someone cause another pain because you're needy or selfish or insecure at the moment? We don't remain selfish teens forever for a reason.
Affairs cause pain, why should anyone be fine with causing others pain simply because they don't know the person who will at some point become aware of the betrayal?
Not caring about other's peoples pain is how CEO's can run off with an entire companies pension and laugh all the way to the bank while hundreds watch their futures go down in flames. Not caring about other's pain is the reason Bush and his cabal of assholes can decimate a country in the name of oil and delusions of grandure of bringing democracy to others. The greatest virtue anyone can have is compassion for those they do not know. Sure we can't all ingest the worlds pain, it would be too painful for an individual and too large a burden to carry, but we can do our parts to not inflict it when possible. I see it as no different as trying to recycle, stop using plastic bags, invest in solar power or work for charity or try to get universal healthcare for the people who reside in the wealthiest nation in the world. Service of ego should not come at someone elses expense. It amazes me that some people, I do not know if it's you anon, can rail against fatties and smokers and republicans, but affairs, hey it sex, it's cool and it's only wrong to screw other people's spouses cause like, religion says so and we all know how stupid those are.
I think leaving an affair is just as much an achievement to be proud of as eating well and excersizing when you haven't, or stopping smoking or drug abuse. We should all encourage those of us around us to do things that are good for them as kindly as possible, not sit around and say sure have that affiar, have that cig, snort that line, and eat cheesecake everyday.
Hell enough of the evil smokers chant around here got me to quit, why shouldn't we encourage this LW to stop her own bad habit?

[Read the article: Working women's wife envy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Well, at first I was gonna be kinda bitchy and mean, but your post was also kinda funny so i decided nah and I assume you don't have the money for a personal assistant, who'd really not have enough to do to even make it a part time job.
Anyway, 1-800-DENTIST.
Insurance website has GYN's in your area.
Calander/day planner/address book/pen.
Walgreens.com
There are stationary stores on-line too.
Computer date books give reminder bells.
For the life of me though, how can you forget Christmas and who gets cards?

The Viagra
[Read the article: Roundup: Viagra, women who like money and more]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]ad made both me and my husband laugh, because they guys looked like they were in their 30's.
We all know that it's usually men 50 and above who need Viagra. Biology fucks with men too.
As for the Huffington Post, I found it ridiculous feminst clap trap. The show is call the Secret Lives of Women for a reason. Because being a doctor or lawyer is not something people go ew, you do what!?!
Plus she seemed to be focusing on ONE episode that had to do with sex work. Apparently some people do not find sex work degrading or horrid, that's their right and I don't think HBO's Real Sex series on the Bunny Ranch is making plenty of women go, ooh prostitution sounds sweet. Women who want to get paid for sex instead of work in a career are going to do so, wether this show existed or not.
Plus as a teen who watched shows like this, read about alternative sexual practices, it did not make me want to fuck for money, all it did was make me more tolerant of other people's choices. Especially since I was raised in a Protestant home with all the attending virgin till marriage, homos are freaks of nature with the yolk of Satan around their necks, abortion is murder crap.
There have been other episodes about married women with open marriages, some are swingers, some are women who married their spouse and young women because they were pregnant and instead of leave the marriage, they get boyfriends.
One episode was about shopoholics.
One episode was about women who were into S&M.
In a world where we aren't supposed to be ashamed of our sexual choices, open marriage, S&M, porn it's funny that they would decry a show that tries to explain that these women are normal, they are not dirty psycho sluts. They are your neighbors and co-workers and they aren't hurting anyone.

I have no problem with this
[Read the article: Too young to be a supermodel?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]One, because the free market can't seem to get the media to do it's job because they're peddling Paris Hilton and Lindsey Loahan stories as "news" while it's FISA what?
Two, because I've always thought it's quite the catch-22 to put people in by saying, no, no you must keep your adult hands off the 15 and 16 yr olds, here's a picture of a hot 16 yr old, isn't she sexy, isn't she the ideal beauty.
There are many jobs that teenagers cannot do, I don't think it's restrictive or interfereing to add modeling to the list. They can work in the mall like the rest of us.
