How's Your Sexual Appetite?

The latest Soapbox Therapy article on HerExchange is helping "Rebeka" make peace with her sexual appetite...here's a clip: 

First step: peel away the should, shed the supposed to, liberate yourself from judgment and begin to consider, embrace, and get to know your sexual appetite. Yes, really.

Judging and comparing your sexual appetite with questions like “am I normal or is this enough,” is taking you away from the real and underlying issues (nevermind emotionally exhausting!). Consider this; sexual appetite = different for everyone, for different reasons. Judgment = unnecessary. Books/articles telling you what and who and where and how much sex you’re supposed to have = don’t read them…ever.

Dear Perfection, You're A Bitch.

Dear Perfection,

You’re a bitch. Not as in difficult or overwhelming. Not as in hard or strenuous. But as in, you’re a bitch. A real, bona fide, obnoxious, who-do-you-think-you-are…bitch. You make me want to scream.

Stuck in LOVE: The latest from HerExchange

Here's a taste of the latest Soapbox Therapy column from HerExchange...

Dear Brooke, I’ve been in a relationship for over 5 years with a man that makes me sad more than glad.

Despite having my life together in every other area, I haven’t managed to figure out how to leave or improve the relationship. I feel stuck. Help!

Thanks,
Stuck

The thing about solving a problem vs. supporting a person...

A lil' taste of "Dave's" question...

"So the problem is this : every time she receives a rejection letter, every time she comes back from an interview she feels did not go well, every time a friend of hers get hired or gets sworn in as a lawyer, my girlfriend throws a fit. She feels left behind by her friends and by me, and she ends up questioning her entire career choice. I inevitably react badly to these situations, as I’m more of a “grab-life-by-the-cojones” kind of person and don’t see any point in self-pity and crying over things we can’t change. So, typical guy, I propose solutions and come off as insensitive. Voices are raised, tears inevitably come, and strain is put on the relationship..."

A lil' taste of my response...

"Dear Dave, I love that you threw all your cards on the table, coined yourself a “typical guy,” and even identified that proposing solutions does in fact make you come off insensitive. The fact that you wrote in and asked about this tells me that deep down, you are anything but insensitive, which is great news because in order to be the man your sweet woman needs right now, you’re going to have to dig down way past your ‘cojones’, grab all the sensitivity you’ve got, and put it to work. Starting yesterday..."
