Practical Clear Hopeful

I look forward to reading Vanessa Marin’s Sex Talks. I appreciated this conversation and different points of view.

I’m curious, Why is lip gloss sexed down for Abby?

Question #2 (I forget Question #1)
What do we need to feel close to each other?

I want to have a good sexual relationship with my husband.

What about these glitches?
Alcohol disorder
Porn

I liked sex in the beginning of relationships best, and I liked Liking sex with someone I didn’t know well.

For Glennon: I would argue that consensual sex without the intimacy and safety is sex. -According to my definition, anyway.

My review was more like taking notes.

Thank you!
