When the consultant began describing her briefcase full of sex toys, I asked whether any of the products contained phthalates. “What are phthalates?” the consultant inquired. I then proceeded to tell the group about […]
When I saw, “Ask Siri About Sex,” on my Twitter stream, I initially thought it was a typographical error. I was bothered that Suri was growing up so quickly. Her love of high heels is one thing, but publicly talking about sex?!? I clicked on the link and laughed out loud, as I learned about […]
