Dear John Letter

Details
Written by: Anonymous

Dear John, I have been seriously looking back upon our relationship and getting very clear on what I need and desire out of a relationship.

From Intimacy to Hatred

Details
Written by: Brad Blanton, Ph.D.

Soap operas are full of people who are in love and start withholding from each other. The nostalgia for what used to be, combined with resentment and hope for renewal, produces what we call romantic love. Romantic love is highly overrated. Romantic love is not as strong as a new friendship based on telling the truth. .

Details
Written by: Tom Paugh

If you don't believe that there is sex after sixty, even seventy and eighty, just read the medical books. They will tell you that, yes, there is; perhaps a tiny bit less often, a smidgen less hot, but it will be there for both of you, all of us, forever, so to speak. Unfortunately, these books were written by people in their thirties and forties fantasizing about their own futures.

Before & After: Foreplay and Afterplay

Details
Written by: by Nik Douglas & Penny Slinger

Everything that is sexually stimulating is part of foreplay and effectively harmonizes the physical and subtle natures of the couple. Love-play should always be undertaken with an earnest desire for the other's absolute fulfillment rather than for selfish gratification. Foreplay should be mutual to create total harmonization of mood and bodily elements.
