Relationships & Family > Romance & Sexuality Should the federal government set a national age for sexual consent for teens?Smallicon
1 of 39

The answer is a flat out 'NO'. First of all, does anyone actually think our teenagers would listen to our government, and secondly, is this something we, as parents, want our government to 'try' to control. I have a teenage son, 18 now, that I know is having sex. We have a very open relationship and have discussed his use of... More..

Relationships & Family > Romance & Sexuality Trust, love, sex and batteries
1 of 14

I recently had an adult toy party and invited several women from my neighborhood, a few friends, and family members, one of which was my sixty-three year old mother. She is a hoot and was excited to come. I wasn't sure how many women would show up, seeing what the invitation was for. I was hoping the women would feel excited... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Forgiveness
3 of 32

One of the hardest things to do is forgive, but if you think about it, it should be the easiest. It doesn't cost us anything and we physically don't have to do anything, do we? Some people might disagree with me on that. Some people can't forgive because they feel it's at a cost to themselves and they feel a physical pain in... More..

Relationships & Family > Cheating & Trust Issues Is there such a thing as emotional cheating?
8 of 48

When I think of emotional cheating, my head hurts because I am not sure I grasp the reality of it. I have always considered cheating, any form of it, to be physical, plain and simple. I have several male friends that I talk to on a regular basis. I share my thoughts and feelings with them and don't feel like I am cheating on... More..

Relationships & Family > Love & Lust Soul mates: Do they really exist?Smallicon
41 of 170

I have been married to my soul mate for almost 23 years now. I have always believed that there is someone out there for everyone and that we need to keep ourselves open to finding that person because when you do, it is a wonderful, meaningful experience. Having said that, when he leaves the toilet seat up, I still want to ch... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Finding the time for love
3 of 10

Time, what's that? I've been married for twenty-two years and have two sons. My oldest is twenty-one and autistic and that alone makes intimacy difficult. My husband and I have to be very creative with our time and take advantage of every opportunity. Therefore, quality not quantity is very important. The time we do get to s... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Christianity and the question of "riches"
19 of 44

I do not think God really cares if you are rich or poor, as long as you follow him either way. I do believe that if you are rich, you should do some good with your wealth in his name. As the old saying goes "You can't take it with you" - why not do some good with it here while you can. I do believe money is not the only way ... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Self-Awareness & Realization Self-reflection: Conversations with myself
21 of 46

I used to think I knew exactly who I was, but not anymore. My life is completely not my own and hasn't been for quite some time. When every decision you make is based on the life of someone else, you can begin to get a whole new perspective on who you really are and where you think you might be going. Whatever plans I had fo... More..

Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Are aging rock superstars like Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones timeless or too old to perform on stage anymore? Smallicon
80 of 151

As the old saying goes, "You are only as old as you feel". Therefore, if the Stones, McCartney, Aerosmith, and so on, feel they can still rock with the best of them, and I believe they still can, then I say, "More power to them". It's obvious, sometimes more to us then to them, that they can't move around quite like they use... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Speculations & Criticisms Does God hate gays?
40 of 69

No, God doesn't hate gay people. What a horrible question. The thought that someone would even consider the answer to this question to be yes disgusts me. God doesn't hate anyone and forgives all, isn't that the point. I'm not saying that the gay population needs to be forgiven more than anyone else, don't get me wrong. The ... More..
