FINALLY … A Female Politician in a Sex Scandal

| May 25, 2010

I’d really almost given up. I have said … I probably have even written … why, oh, why, can we not, just ONCE have a woman officeholder standing up in front of a microphone with her dutiful husband by her side, talking about charges that she had an affair?

OK, so I’m thinking this is very damned funny.

The Naked Reader Book Club: That is So NOT Sexy!

It’s my third piece for SexIs.

You've Been Tempted.

Shadowy "Into Temptation" has been a forum about evolving social-sexual networks and how they have changed and are changing lives. In other words, we talk about dating and sex.
