Is your man grumpy and boring in bed?
By Dr. Joel LopezCrabbiness and lack of libido are signs of a malaise that is starting to rear its ugly head, not only when a man is in his 50s, but as early as his late teens.

My husband and I have known each other for 18 years—first in an 11-year relationship, and then married for five. He told me our relationship would meet its fruition with marriage. He is only three years older, but I look up to him.

How could you not learn! You just open your eyes and your ears—all the material is in front of you. Even the songs are dripping with sex info. No longer is it necessary to experience it in a movie house in the KKK (kataas-taasang, kasulok-sulukang, kadilim-dilimang) seat. Everything’s out in the open.
Some unplanned sex and marriages took place between relatives in the old days.
I first met my wife when her own firm and the company I worked with started to do business together. I married her a year and a half later.

There could be no more opportune time for this article than now. The cover-up of child molestation and abuse charges against the clergy, the pope’s resignation over impending international charges, the One Billion Rising against women’s abuse have made it so relevant.

I don’t know what generation you belong to, but not too long ago, no kind of sex information was ever given to grade school children. Or later.

Fact or fiction? Sex burns a lot of calories. Snacking or skipping breakfast is bad. School physical education classes make a big difference in kids’ weight.
I am in my late 30s, still single and with no kids. I’ve only had two serious relationships that lasted six and nine months, respectively. I date once in a while and met this guy my age in April. It was spur of the moment but I gave him my number. I knew from the start that he’s not the serious kind. I don’t even know his status. I rejected him initially, but his persistence in sending me text messages made me go out with him on a date, and eventually we had sex. I could not resist him, not because I love him, but because I felt that I was already trapped in this kind of situation and had hoped that this will be it. Two months later, his wife learned about the affair and I ended it, which he willingly accepted.
My husband and I are both in our early 60s. We’ve been married almost 40 years now and have three professional and married children who have all left the nest.
Two years ago, an officemate who had just broken off from her longtime boyfriend asked me to take her out to dinner. She knew I would be game as I had made passes at her. We dated for three months and got intimate—to a certain point. I knew she was not the scrupulous type, even though she is a graduate of a convent school, as she had been telling us officemates that she had gone out of town with her boyfriend a number of times. So I thought she was the promiscuous type. Anyway, she reconciled with her old boyfriend and they are now married.
