Sex + Love

I’ve been writing about body positivity on the Internet for a couple of years now, but I have to admit that if anything, loving my body has become harder than when I started. Since then, I came to understand that I had an unresolved eating disorder that I battled for six years, I’ve started working out and I’ve discovered a passion for cooking.

You’ve met someone who you actually like. There you are, on your first date, and you think, I can’t believe how well this is going.

Have you ever watched one of those sappy romantic comedies and secretly wished you had a relationship like “they do in the movies?” I have a feeling many of us can resonate with that desire. After watching picture perfect love stories, we tend to develop an overwhelming urge to be in love and in a relationship just like the one we’ve been living through vicariously for the past two hours.

Harmony and passion are the Holy Grails of relationship. Whenever we see a romantic movie or read a love story, we are given a wonderfully arrayed glimpse of how intoxicating and vibrant a life of good love can be.

My husband and I are complete opposites: he is the logical one and I am the emotional one. We don’t always see eye to eye and, while we’ve very rarely had a full on, no holds barred argument in the eighteen years we’ve been together, we have had moments of uncomfortable disagreement.

I make no secret that I prefer older men. The way they handle themselves in a relationship is important, but there are things older men do better in bed!

Married sex doesn’t have to be restricted to Saturday nights. 

A part of me gets it. If you’ve never had any mental illness, who wants to date a crazy person? Many people think of mental illness in extremes and stereotypes, i.e., depressed people never get out of bed or those with OCD will never leave the bathroom.
