    good article with a refreshing point of view

    If a woman is dry, just add K-Y or some other lubricant.

    But if the man can't get hard -- horrors!!

    It's time we got rid of this double standard. Sex can be perfectly fine without an erection. Thanks for giving us this badly needed viewpoint.
