Do sex toys enhance your sex life?
Great question. In fact, Duke University is currently conducting a study on the topic—to the consternation of Reverend Joe Vetter of the Duke University Catholic Center, who claims that it hurts more than it helps.
In other words, he thinks women will find their toys more pleasurable than their boys.
He’s [...]
Duchess Digest: Burning Bridges
We’ve all heard the expression, “don’t burn your bridges.” While this tends to be a good rule of thumb in business, client relationships, friendships and sometimes even personal relationships, it appears to me that this can also be detrimental advice in some instances.
Case in point; the ex. I always think it’s a great sign when [...]
Sex & the Single Woman: Shoulda Coulda Woulda
Confession: Much as I love the fellas, I really don’t mind being single. Obviously.
But when my grandmother died a week ago today, I reflected that I really wish I had gotten married and had kids before she passed. Not because she disapproved of me doing my own thing, but because she loved weddings and baby [...]

I was remembering that over the weekend as my date cited instance after instance that he deemed “ironic.” The thing is, they weren’t. They were coincidental, or just unlucky. And it drove me nuts!
Sex & the Single Woman: What’s Your Ideal Age?
The other night I had a date…with a 23-year-old guy.
For those keeping score at home, Sex & the Single Woman is 30.
Now, while I congratulated myself on catching the attention of someone younger than my baby brother, it was really all for naught. The guy was nice, but well…
Sex & the Single Woman: Random Dating Icebreaker
When you live in England, you really can’t go anywhere without an umbrella. So when my friends and I headed out for the Lovebox music festival this weekend, I made sure to throw my blue brolly in my bag. Sure enough, the skies opened up during the Florence & the Machine set, so I opened up the umbrella to keep the three of us dry.
Sex & the Single Woman: Simon and Yasmin Le Bon
Though I spent much of the ‘80s crushing on John Taylor, in recent years I’ve realized that Simon is the true Duran Duran heartthrob. He’s got one of the most underrated voices out there, looks fantastic for 50, and bypassed the sleazy route by staying happily married to supermodel Yasmin—with whom he has three teenage daughters—for 23 years.
