Why I Hate the Term Cougar

No surprise that Cougar Town's creator, Bill Lawrence, wants the name changed. He thinks it will expand the show's audience; so do I.

Female Condoms for Women in the Know

The Female Condom empowers women. But all too few women over 50 even know it exists. So, for anyone not in a long-term monogamous relationship, ladies, here’s an alternative that puts you in control. The amazing secret is that although it is widely used in Europe and has been approved by the FDA in the US since 1993, very few women or even health care professionals know of it much less use it.

If You Take Responsibility for Your Actions, Guilt

Many people feel guilt related to sexual thoughts, deeds or even lack of them. An easy rule of thumb (if you are sober) if you act or don't act, always ask yourself "How will I feel in 24 hours?" Guilt is what I call a secondary overlay emotion. Not all therapists or religious leaders agree with me. However, think about it this way, if you are guilty it's about something you've done or not done. It's the something done or not done and your view of it that is at the core.

Eventually there will be manufactured aids that help, but they won't be miracle drugs. Some women suffer from low libido for multiple reasons including lack of desire, poor communication or long term resentment, poor relationships and not feeling desired. While a pill will come along soon, and I hope it does, it will not be the miracle cure the world is waiting for.
