Posted on Wednesday, September 28th, 2011
Let me just say, I had no idea that one post would generate so much dialogue.
In the post What If My Husband Wants to Do Something Sexually That I Find Degrading, I wrote about the sexual act referred to as a “golden shower” or “golden bath.”

Posted on Saturday, September 24th, 2011
Recently, someone anonymously asked me how to handle “golden showers” — a sexual act she found degrading.
While I wasn’t familiar initially with the term, I was familiar with the act itself.

I’m humbly blessed to have Kentucky Colonel of A Grown Up Marriage posting today, looking closer at something that isn’t discussed often — wives who are sexually refused.
Even if that doesn’t apply to you, I [...]
The Secret to Stopping the Body Image War
Posted on Saturday, June 11th, 2011
I’ve been taking a women’s Bible study on marriage.
After class one day, a few of us women were talking about body image — and what it does to a wife’s confidence (or more often, lack thereof) when she has sex with her husband.

Posted on Sunday, January 30th, 2011
Is it possible for a Christian wife to be sexually confident — to love sex, to get crazy with passion beneath the sheets with the man to whom she pledged her life? Well, certainly it’s possible. Anything’s possible. But that’s not really the issue, is it?

Kudos to author and speaker Margot Starbuck, who not only sent me her book Unsqueezed when I said I wanted to do a review, but also agreed to guest post. Check out her below post! Be sure to offer your comments. That helps us all learn and grow, you know?! Share the post with your friends so they too can enter into the dialogue, not only about body image, but also about the toll it can take on sexual intimacy.

Posted on Thursday, October 7th, 2010
When I stumbled across a screen shot of Margot Starbuck’s book “Unsqueezed: Springing Free From Skinny Jeans, Nose Jobs, Highlights and Stilettos,” I knew I had to have a copy. So I did what any book-addicted sexual intimacy blogger would do. I contacted her and begged for a copy to review. (She obliged. After all, who really wants an annoying blogger begging for anything?)

Okay, this post is probably going to get me in trouble. (Not exactly the headline you’d expect from a devout Christian girl like myself).
I don’t know Paris Hilton personally. Certainly, how she has conducted herself publicly at times hasn’t exactly been a shining example of modesty. Not judging; just making an observation.
