Lady Brierley is on vacation, but the guys proceed on their own this week with the help of special guest Karri Fuerstenberg. The article that begins the show is all about the benefits of comfort sex, then Mark tackles emails on long-distance dating, porn and masturbation addiction, and a listener wonders if cohabiting without sex is okay.
Mark looks at the findings of a new study that asks, “Are stay-at-home parents just as stressed out as those who work outside the home?” Then he gives an interesting answer to a Facebook fan who did the Laugh Your Way group study and is wondering “what’s next in their marriage”? A young bride writes in wanting advice on the use of sex toys in their marriage, a husband wants to know if he was wrong for shining the light on his wife’s wrong doings, and a woman asks where the lines are in business situations where the husband is “required” to have meetings at strip clubs.
More sex toys sold than smartphones? Apparently it’s true according to the article that Mark starts the show with. He then answers emails from a wife wanting to know what she can do to help her husband’s porn addiction, another wife wonders about devices to help sustain erections, a 17 year old guy wants to get married next year but mama is having none of it, and a woman has a husband who is a task master that wants her to lose weight.
On today’s show Mark and Debbie start off discussing an MSN article about the link between devoted dads and risky teen sexual behavior and further discuss studies that show the spiritual value and influence of fathers. (Additional article here) Mark tackles the subject of sex toys and whether or not they are appropriate and if masturbation is okay when couples are separated for long periods of time. He answers an email on sex drives and how to deal with the differences, and one from a woman who asks how to deal with a husband who plays video games continuously.
