I’ll be honest; I’ve never been a big fan of strip clubs.  They’re usually expensive, seedy and, worst of all, the chance of taking a stripper home, at least for me, are zero to less than zero. For other average guys like me the chances are about the same.

Here’s the thing though; the fantasy that a strip club can create in a man’s mind (and some womens minds to be sure) can be very powerful and can be something that helps out greatly when that same man is home with his wife.  Don’t agree with me?  Let me explain my thinking.

Since we’re being honest, let’s all agree that, after a lot of years together, most marriages can get a little stale, especially in the bedroom. Yes, sex is not the most important thing in a marriage but, in fact, it is important.  It’s also important to realize that, if a person’s sexual desires aren’t being met, the chance that someone will stray increases greatly. The fact is, a stale marriage and unfulfilled desires can only lead to marital disaster.

But a strip club can be a way to fulfill some of those desires and indeed create a spark that sometimes brings a hot flow of new life to a married couple’s relationship. Indeed many men that have gone to a strip club with their spouse have reported that not only was their desire aroused but their wife’s as well, leading to new fireworks in the bedroom.

Many men who have problems with E.D. also report that going to a strip club has actually helped them at home. The powerful effects that being naked next to a young, nubile stripper have on a man’s libido can, if treated with respect, translate into real change in a marriage both in an out of the bedroom. Who knows, it may even be better than marriage counseling.

My daughter is almost 16 and, in my opinion, is a very mature and respectful young woman.  I consider myself lucky because I have met some of her friends and they all seem to still be little girls whereas Catherine, while she still acts like a girl on occasion, acts more like an adult every day.

I’ve already spoken to her frankly about sex, just like my mother did to me.  In fact, my mother talked to me about sex about 5 years before I actually started having sex.  I thought that was very helpful to me as I went through High School and then college and I wanted to be able to help my daughter the same way.

Indeed she already has had a boyfriend and, although they are not ‘together’ anymore, I met the young man several times and actually spent time with them together and found that neither of them was thinking about having sex yet. (Yes, I did give a big sigh of relief.)

The truth is, humans are programmed to procreate, just like any other animal.  The only thing we can do as parents is be open with our kids, tell them that we care and offer them advice.  I’ve seen parents try to keep their kids, especially their daughters, under lock & chain but it always seems to backfire. I don’t want to worry that my daughter will make a mistake so I get up my nerve and talk to her, even though it makes both of us just a little uncomfortable.

Sex Ed is taught in most High Schools these days but it does nothing to prepare teens for the actual mental confusion that they will inevitably face. Rather than let my daughter, and my son, go through these trying times without real guidance I have taken the time to talk to them and do my best to educate them.

They’re both going to make mistakes because making mistakes is a part of life.  The way I see it, I can help them keep those mistakes to a minimum with just a little communication.  I also have told them many times that if they do make a mistake they can always come to me for help.  In my humble opinion that’s about the best that I can do.

Let me first say, I am not trying to pirate the name of the famous book here. I am just trying to start off with a familiar title to catch your attention. If your wife is expecting, you have at least of heard of that book. You should have read it by now, as a matter of fact. But that classic book addresses the missus, and I think there are some things guys should know about as well. Read more

This is for all you dads-to-be, who have a newly pregnant wife and are alternately thrilled and terrified by the changes going on in her body, the changes that are happening in your marriage…and in your sex life. Sex is obviously how you got into this state in the first place, so there’s no shame or anything to be embarrassed about. You and the missus had some fun (well, hopefully more than some), and boom! Baby!  So what happens now that she’s pregnant? Your sex drive certainly isn’t going to turn off…and here’s a little tip, men: neither does hers. Read more
