“I’m still really interested in having sex with you,” I told my girlfriend very recently one morning after we had gone to bed early, dog-tired, sore from head to toe and one too many times turning away from each other in bed and slipping into a deep sleep. “I still want to have mad, steamy, hot sex with you—we can’t just keep sleeping next to each other and making the excuse of being tired from working all the time, even if we are.” Her face lit up—I think she had started to believe LBD was setting in. No way Jose. Been there, done that. I’m very interested in sex, thank you very much, and have no intention of letting it die in this relationship. While there are many reasons to “put off” sex or save it for...

I’m broke, busted, have no dinero. My fulltime day job, turned part time job, just got cut. I’m thinking about alternatives, including getting into a roommate situation to lower my rent even though I’ve never had a roommate in my life. I’ve lived with girlfriends, but never had a roommate proper. The other day my therapist asked if I were considering moving in with the Playwright to consolidate expenses. I said no. She asked me why not, I’m pretty sure she was playing devil’s advocate. I said neither of us has the intention of moving in together any time soon and it would be a recipe for disaster. We’re still getting to know each other—a financial crisis is no time to rent a U-Haul. A friend said, “Yeah, but six months...

So it’s been going along swimmingly, this relationship thing. I’m really into it. And I want to say that while for several years I was not at all ready to start what could turn into a committed relationship, I feel I am in that place now. But, I also know it ain’t for everyone. I’m all for casual sex, one night stands, poly and other open relationships, and anonymous encounters. Make no mistake; I’m no proselytizer about monogamy. I just know me. And, while I did “play the field” for a few years and was totally skeptical about whether I would ever be interested in or capable of committing to one woman after two decades of unsatisfying serial monogamy, it is indeed very satisfying knowing that there is one person out there in this big...

I find that when I am in a good place mentally, having a good relationship, traveling for fun and business, successfully writing and publishing, etc., former friends and lovers come out of the woodwork they burrowed into when things were not so good and I really needed them. And, since all of my business is broadcast on Facebook and otherwise online, it’s easy enough to find out what I am doing and what my “status” is in just about every realm. So when my relationship with the Playwright went public and it looked promising that it was a very good and healthy step in my life, the London Bird reared her head and my phone rang. Oh my, that trip to New York she couldn’t make last fall because she had rekindled her romance with an on-again-off-again lover,...
