A few days ago, my favorite magazine, The Atlantic Monthly, once again greeted me in my mailbox. The next day I was catching some warm, low, January sun by the pool with by best buddy Greg, a happily married, part time poker player, “Mr. Mom” and great guy. Naturally, I brought the magazine, as if our mere company isn’t entertainment enough.
One article had both of us cracking up and I couldn’t help but quote from it. It is called, “The Wifely Duty” by Caitlin Flanagan.
One quote that may help you get the gist of the article follows:
“All of this makes me reflect that those repressed and much pitied 1950s wives—their sexless college years! their boorish husbands, who couldn't locate the clitoris with a flashlight and a copy of Gray's Anatomy!—were apparently getting a lot more action than many of today's most liberated and sexually experienced married women.”
Here is a link to the article and I hope some of you enjoy it.

BTW, the Atlanitc has a forum allowing peole to discuss their articles and it is almost as interesting as this one.
Regards,
Rick
