I’ve been thinking about what composting really is — taking what is normally considered a waste product, and by tending this pile of waste, creating gold for your garden — a great metaphor for life.
Dear Shanna, My girlfriend and I have been together a few years and the sex is fantastic. We’ve become friends with another couple (also lesbian) and there seems to be chemistry between us. I know the term “swinging” is somewhat outdated, but I think it’s the best word for what we’re interested in. Is it a good idea? If so, how do we move forward?
Hi Shanna,
I’ve recently moved in with my girlfriend of four years, and I’m not sure what to do about having sex on the weeks that she has custody of her two kids, ages 5 and 7. She usually has an open–door policy with them, which is great, but I want some adult time too. What should we do?
Dear Brent,
I used to love online socializing, but I’m concerned now that it has become the new norm in the gay scene.
I worry that we are all so disconnected and have lost the ability to connect on any organic level. I also worry for bars, clubs, and other gay establishments because people aren’t going out as much. Is human contact going to be reduced to one hour of chatting online, 15 minutes of sex, and then back to solitude?
My 10-year lesbian partner and I have always had amazing sex. My sex drive has always been on the high side, but as we’ve progressed in our relationship, the amount has diminished, as seems to usually be the case. There have been been many disappointing times I thought we’d be intimate but it never occurred. I’m frustrated at not ever being able to decide if or when we have sex. Do you have any suggestions?
Try to keep score this week and see how many of these you can identify from yourself and others around you.
I love being a lesbian. Every day is an adventure through the emotional ups and downs of the women of my community. But we must collectively admit that we can be incredibly dramatic. When I get on a plane, leaving behind people and things I would have been involved in, I get the opportunity for perspective.
