Comment on Wife Wants Sex to Be More Exciting by Dr. Trina Read

The first thing you need to do is read the book, “The Ethical Slut” by Dossie Easton, (http://www.amazon.com/Ethical-Slut-Practical-Relationships-Adventures/dp/1587613379/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1327525113&sr=1-1 ). Once you determine that this is a lifestyle you want to pursue, then bring it up to your wife that you simply want to go and observe and only if ‘she’ is interested will you pursue this.

In your experience, who typically initiates the new experiences? I would very much like to visit a swingers club with my wife of 20+ years, not necessarily to participate but to observe I am reticent to even broach the topic for fear of harsh rejection and reprisal. Suggestions are welcome.

Comment on How Young is Too Young for Sex Ed? by Dr. Trina Read

I feel that most parents want their children to have a comprehensive sex education. They themselves want to answer their kids sex questions; however, this generation is pioneering new ground as our parent’s tended to NEVER speak about sex. Everyone is doing the best with what they know. Truly believe the next generation will be a lot better at this than us. Thanks for your thoughts Bill.

I am a grade four teacher in Alberta and I have observed the range of knowledge and sophistication that students bring to this health topic. They are all naturally curious and I always try to answer their questions honestly and accurately. (Best one ever: “Do people who suffer from progeria go through puberty?”) I have on occasion had to refer them pack to their parents to which many respond that they could never talk about this with them. I am proud that they trust me enough to ask.

I totally agree with this post. As a long-time practicer of male chastity, I can say that it wasn’t always as accepted as it is today. People would label you all kinds of things as soon as they found out what you were into. It turns out that everyone has quirks that seem strange until you start to understand the reasons behind them. Everyone I have met with who has seriously tried to understand it (or tried to practice it) has come away with a newfound respect for the practice, if not a fetish for it themselves.

Thanks for your comment Amy. I do go through each post and fix the egregious grammar and punctuation errors. I do agree that some posts are better written than others. Cheers, trina

Wow, do you need a copy editor! Great information, but as an intelligent reader I find it difficult to look past misused words and apostrophes and improper punctuation. This particular post quite isn’t as bad as some previous ones, but comments are closed on those. A good copy editor would be a grand gift to yourself and your readers!

Comment on Are open relationships more popular? by Dr. Trina Read

Hi Bill,
Here’s my observations (which are not based on scientific research).

A surprising number of people in their 40s (with a mortgage and kids) become bored and restless in their relationship. They feel that by ‘swinging’ or dating people outside their relationship, it can help bring back the spark. If they do the research, get a book like “The Ethical Slut”, and talk it through with their partner, they have a good success rate. People who rush in and without any couple communication soon find out the pitfalls of open relationships–jealousy, etc.

I believe a large percentage of the population could survive and thrive in open relationships, however, our societal dogma about the sanctity of monogamous union stops a lot of people from trying it out.

Hope that helps, trina

Trina: What experiences and observations have you made through your work regarding this lifestyle choice? Do couples with challenges seek professional assistance when issues and problems arise?
