A Wish List for the Easter Bunny

“An Easter wish list? What is this, Christmas?” I sheepishly admit that was my initial response upon hearing a mother desperately trying to cajole her screaming child out of the Easter section at our local Wal-Mart the other day.

They wanted to know about sex lives, in particular how often people were…well, doing it. Turns out, not all that often. The Results 30% had gone without it for a few months 24% … Continue reading →
