Falling in love is wonderful, but it is really the easy part of any lesbian relationship. What takes work and commitment is keeping that relationship going even after the passion fades, which it most likely will over time. Most experts agree that passionate love has a life expectancy of 2 to 4 years. So compatibility [...]

This was a question posed to me via email in response to my blog post “Ask Me A Question.” And the answer is “yes.” That is not to say ALL lesbians enjoy straight sex, but that SOME do. Just like any other group of people there is wide variation in our likes and dislikes, especially [...]

It seems the good people of the Greek island Lesbos are shamed by the moniker and tried to have its use barred by female homosexuals. Like that was going to happen. But anyway, why were they shamed?

I spent this weekend in Massachusetts. I have to admit, it was nice spending time in a state where gays have equal rights of marriage. Unlike my native Pennsylvania which specifically prohibits gay marriage. I felt less…militant, I guess. More at peace.
I read the paper while I was there and found that MA is [...]

Coming out gay or lesbian as a single person is hard. Coming out when you are married is cataclysmic. I remember being in the situation and likening it to jumping off a cliff. On top of the cliff, I was safe. There was just enough to sustain me on the top. I wasn’t happy and [...]

You just found out your husband is gay…or your wife is a lesbian. You thought everything was going great. Then wham! You discover the truth. Where do you go from this point?
Probably the very best thing to do is to get help right away. Going through this situation alone is very difficult at best. There [...]
