Last year when I wrote articles about vibrators and doing Kegel exercises to improve your sex life and overall uro-gynecological health, some people close to me accused me of writing about sex too much - telling me I might be limiting my blog’s appeal to just single people.

Whoa! Hold up! (screeching brakes sound effect in your head goes here). Where the hell is it written that single people are the only ones interested in sex?

Who says that if a woman has kids and/or gets married, somehow the sexual part of who she is shuts down? Okay, I know the harried life of a family woman makes it hard sometimes to fit sex into her life, but in my opinion, married women should be, and can be getting more and better sex than the rest of us! But regardless of marital status, I knew women were hungry for sexual information and eager to talk about it!

My Valentine’s “date” with myself went off without a hitch for the most part. The first part of the day was hectic, but fun. Chatting over breakfast with close friends was enjoyable.  The casual lunch and birthday celebration with our cousin’s family included memorable “Kodak moments”, and TO DIE FOR chocolate cake.  In the evening, the children collapsed into slumber with smiles on their faces.  While my husband was working, I DID send him that naughty little text…and he returned the sentiments, gratefully. 

So, then it was “me time”. I curled up into bed wearing my little “nightie”, with my journal, my soothing hot tea, and…….my NyQuil. There is something about a congested, sniffling mommy, alone in bed on Valentine’s night that seems so……..unsexy. (But how can I begrudge my children for so lovingly sharing their germs with Mommy right before Valentine’s Day?)

So what is it that I wished to accomplish on this night?  Maybe most women wouldn’t have spent Valentine’s Day alone in bed, trying to find answers to questions that they haven’t yet had the guts to ask. 

Probably. 

Very likely. 

Almost certainly.

Over the Valentine’s Day weekend, some friends and I were pondering relationships and wondering just why it is that once a couple enters the zone of “committed, long term relationship”, the best part of dating - the long passionate kisses - seem to be replaced by rushed, innocent, little pecks.

This seems to be a phenomenon that applies to both married and non-married couples. (If this doesn’t apply to you in your current relationship, you’re in a good place, but resist the temptation to gloat, because you may be next.) Why does this happen? I don’t know, but the topic got me thinking that the luckiest girls on Valentine’s Day were not necessarily the ones who had a guy who bought them flowers and heart shaped boxes of chocolate.

Can you hear that? That’s the sound of my *f.a.t. feet doing the happy *f.a.t. dance because I just got to watch my two heroes on stage together at the same time! 

No, not Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. Good guess. No, not Sigfried and Roy. Bad guess. Not Captain and Tennille. (Though I love “Love Will Keep Us Together”), and you are getting warmer…….think Seventies.

Get your Pure Insanity Journals out everyone, because it’s time to make another entry! For all those new to this activity, this is where we jot down the latest story that provides concrete proof that we’re all going completely mad. I’m kind of hoping that there won’t be enough stories to fill the pages of our journals, but at the rate we’re going with high heeled babies, and women opting out of what it is to be a woman, I don’t think we’ll even need to fill the journals to make the diagnosis stick.

Today’s topic just may be the clincher. I’ll summarize with one sentence: Perfection-obsessed women take their self-loathing out on their vaginas by turning genital mutilation into a sport that society now calls “Vagina Reconstruction.”

Have you heard of this, ladies? This is the latest and “greatest” in cosmetic procedures that our esteemed medical community is pushing on society, with promises to “correct” and “perfect” the vulva of any woman naive or insecure enough to pay for it. If it weren’t for the fact that women are lining up in droves for these surgeries, I would think that “Vag Repair Services” as a business model was a joke conceived by a high school business economics class filled with sixteen year old boys who were still waiting to see one for the first time.

By now you’ve all probably heard that Larry Flynt, whose brainchild was Hustler, and  Joe Francis of Girls Gone Wild fame, are leading the charge for a government “bail out” for the porn industry, just like it is doing for the auto industry. Even though the porn industry isn’t going under, sales are going down. To the porn industry, “going down” has a totally different meaning, and it is not used to the phrase in reference to its profits. So, why not give the industry a little economic Viagra shot to bring it back up?

The way I see it, if the government is subsidizing big business with my tax dollars, I’d rather have them throw money at an industry I can see value in. After all, Shouldn’t our money be invested in an industry that has already shown that it knows how to be profitable, rather than an industry that persists in driving itself (literally and figuratively) into the ground?

And besides, government and sex have always gone hand in hand. Can you say Bill and Monica? And what about all those girls who haven’t yet gone wild, but were just waiting for their chance? More money means more jobs. Come on, throw a girl a bone…er.

But there are even better reasons than those. Here are the top reasons why the government should give bail out money to the porn industry:
