Sexual healing

I used to relish the challenge of being good in bed. I read the Kama Sutra with steely discipline, confident there wasn't a skill I couldn't master. Then I had a baby.

    I like minivans

    The article annoyed me, but the nastiness in some of these letters flabbergasts me.

    Not every article in the front section has to be about your life. Talk about whiny and narcissistic.

    We all hate showoffs, and I really hate the idea that being good in bed is about mastering esoteric or difficult skills from sex manuals. I'd rather be with an enthusiastic fumbler than with some student of the Kama Sutra who always has to be better than everyone else. But the author seems aware of the hidden egocentrism of this approach to sexuality, if still not completely free of it. She was willing to be honest about this; maybe she deserves credit.

    Also, don't hate the minivan. Minivans rule. The stereotyped suburban people in your head should be driving big SUVs. I hear the Chinese are fond of these little putt-putt minivans that get like 40 mpg. I want one! And I'm years away from having kids.
