For a mother who’s accustomed to having been number one in her son’s life, the arrival of a girlfriend, fiancé, or wife can be a complicated, confusing, and emotionally challenging event. Likewise, coexisting harmoniously with the mother of her partner can be an overwhelming challenge for any woman. Sons, often caught in the middle, are sometimes understandably reluctant to take sides.

It challenges every preconceived idea about great lovers and answers one of history's most vexing questions: what do women want?

En "Mujeres que follan" hay sexo loco y sexo aburrido, sexo vainilla y sexo duro, sexo romántico y sexo no convencional, pero hay mucho más. El sexo nunca es solo sexo. Hablar de sexo es hablar de educación emocional, de clase social, de la presión por tener un cuerpo bonito, del mito del amor romántico, de relaciones tóxicas, de feminismo y de patriarcado. El sexo nos acompaña a todas desde que nacemos hasta que morimos, pero no todas lo vivimos de la misma manera.

A relação desinteligente é instável, enquanto a relação saudável tem estabilidade. Na relação desinteligente, um é perito em reclamar do outro enquanto, na relação saudável, os dois são especialistas em agradecer. Na relação desinteligente, os atores são individualistas, e na relação saudável, um procura fazer o outro feliz. Na relação doente se cobra muito e se elogia pouco, na relação saudável se doa muito e se cobra pouco. Que tipo de casal você forma: saudável ou doente, inteligente ou desinteligente?

De repente, quando olhava para horizonte, ela viu a figura de um homem. Seus passos ansiosos anunciavam um forte desejo, um reencontro, um recomeço. Era o homem que a abandonara. De longe abriu os braços. Sob uma aura de uma emoção incontida, ela saiu e correu ao seu encontro. Ele abraçou-a, beijou-a e pediu desculpas. Disse que enfrentaria o mundo com ela. Navegaria nas águas do desprezo e nos vales do vexame social, mas jamais a deixaria novamente. Brigar, gritar, impor ideias, nem de longe significa ter um Eu forte, mas sim, frágil.

"Per quanto l'uomo, dal punto di vista femminile, sia un animale semplice oltre che stupido, bisogna sapere che come i vermi (altri animali semplici oltre che stupidi) l'uomo si distingue in diversi tipi, tutti semplici e stupidi ma tutti diversi fra loro. E come i passeri si prendono con la rete, le anatre con la doppietta e gli struzzi con il lazo, pur essendo tutti uccelli, così gli uomini si prendono con la rete se piccoli, con la doppietta se grandi, con il lazo se grandissimi. Occorre solo conoscerli. E usare un metodo scientifico."

Discovering George Michael's Faith confirmed for David Crabb what every bully already knew: He was gay. What saved him from high school was finding a group of outlandish friends who reveled in being outsiders. David found himself enmeshed with misfits: wearing black, cutting class, staying out all night, drinking, tripping, chain-smoking, idolizing the Pet Shop Boys - and learning lessons about life and love along the way.

Emily is 24 and trying to figure out, well, everything. She starts seeing Steve and falls for him instantly. Unfortunately, that requires conveniently pushing her longtime (and live-in) boyfriend Brian out of her mind.

She turns to her co-worker and some new friends to try to figure it all out via text, chat, and email.

Forty million people in the US have tried Internet dating, which means 40 million people have probably gone on some pretty crappy dates.

The Thinking Moms’ Revolution (TMR) is a group of 23 moms (and one awesome dad) from Montana to Malaysia who all have children with developmental disabilities. Initially collaborating online about therapies, biomedical intervention, alternative medicine, special diets, and doctors on the cutting edge of treatment approaches to an array of chronic and developmental disabilities, such as autism, sensory processing disorders, food allergies, ADHD, asthma, and seizures, they've come together into something far more substantial.

La presenza in Italia di trentenni e quarantenni con la personalità di bambini è la nostra caratteristica nazionale. Accentuata dal fatto che la maggioranza degli italiani quando abbandona la casa dei genitori ha un'età media di trentaquattro anni. Ma è anche vero che non si può fare un matrimonio felice, in grado di durare tutta la vita, se ci si sposa da bambini. E neppure da adulti. Ci si deve sposare da genitori. Perché un matrimonio felice e solido è un cocktail che necessita di cinque ingredienti fondamentali: passione, dialogo, tenerezza, maturità e amore.

Des conversations avec sa fille jusqu'aux rencontres éphémères en passant par les échanges entre ami·es, il nous rappelle que la sagesse surgit souvent dans le quotidien, là où on l'attend le moins.
