LONDON: On barbie dolls and other false ideals that wreck a marriage
Times of London had an interesting article today by Terri Apter. In the article, Barbie and Co: The New Sexism, Lost Feminist Dreams, the False Ideals of Marriage - and Barbie Dolls, Apter raises a lot of provocative questions. One question I think she raises is, to what extent does the sexualized barbie doll of childhood affect what goes on in [...]
NEW YORK: Stoning or hari kari for adulterers like Tiger Woods? Would that reduce the divorce rate?
Tiger Wood could easily have committed hari kari to escape the media and blogospheric stoning he received when his serial adultery was uncovered in a leaked text message back in late fall of 2009. Led me to thinking about adultery and divorce on a whole other level and I wondered whether heightened consequences for married folks who step out on [...]
The clitoris at the intersection of divorce court and happily ever after
I realize that the title of this post is potentially titillating; or maybe even funny and you should know that I am red-faced just talking about it. But I am not laughing cause this is no laughing matter. The fact is, there is a genuine issue of fact as to what extent, if at all, is a husband's inability to properly, um, make friends with his [...]
The hotness of Tiger Woods: Vanity Fair cover reveals why Elin’s thinking twice about divorce
The boy is hoooooooooooooooooooottttttttttttttttttttttttttzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New book claims Warren Beatty has slept with 12,775 women, give or take: Time for Annette to consider divorce?
According to the New York Post: Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America" (Simon & Schuster), biographer Peter Biskind hazards a guess about the conquests of Hollywood's most notorious lothario -- based, he says, on "simple arithmetic." Biskind estimates "12,775 women, give or take, a figure that does not include daytime quickies, drive-bys, [...]
Should you ever marry someone you’ve never slept with? Or is that a recipe for divorce?
I have always secretly believed that premarital sex violated the covenants of the old Testament. Not that that prevented me from occassionally....well, never mind. It's not important what I was about to say.... The seminal question, and the real important inquiry, is whether or not one ought to ever marry someone one had not slept with prior [...]
NEW YORK: Alleged casting couch sex perv, 70, settles lawsuit with former fiancee, 22
I was reading here that: Joseph Brooks, the 70-year-old composer of "You Light Up My Life," who has been charged in a series of sex crimes, settled a lawsuit he had filed against his former fiancée, who's all of 22. Brooks sued Joaly Gomez in October for the return of a $60,000 Tiffany engagement ring, a $70,000 Mercedes-Benz and half a [...]
NEW YORK: Miryam Meyers accuses investment banker husband Jason Meyers of using her as his sex slave?
Oh my word. This one is a doozie. Wife, a French citizen, apparently, met investment banker husband in Geneva in 2007. They married in October 2009 and husband filed for divorce 15 days after the City Hall nuptials (the divorce papers were signed notarized by his ex wife, a divorce attorney named Natasha Meyers, according to the New York Post), [...]
Sex-specific advice for couples on the verge of divorce
I spoke with a sex therapist at a holiday party this weekend and here are five tips she gave me to share with you if your marriage is suffering from lack of sex: 1. Don't be so shy (missionary is for saints) 2. Use aids like lubricants, costumes, toys, & role play 3. Get over your inhibitions but don't break the law. 4. Get [...]
BOROUGH PARK: Is failure to attend the mikvah grounds for a religious divorce?
I read somewhere that the mikvah is so important to Orthodox Jews that typically a new community will build a mikvah before they build a synagogue! At first I thought that was an exaggeration, but this morning as I was trolling through New York Magazine's archives looking for information on Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng, I came across the most [...]
FLORIDA: On Tiger Woods, SEX ADDICTION & DIVORCE
By all accounts, sex addiction can lead to divorce . Many famous men have copped to having a sex addiction but not all their marriages ended in divorce. Bill Clinton, David Duchovny, Eric Benet....some people are saying that Tiger Woods may have a sex addiction. He may. He may not. But I should point out that there are women with sex addictions [...]
Sex & Divorce: What’s your libido got to do with it?
My friends from Rochester came out with us for dinner at a local South African restaurant tonight and over cocktails (campari and guava infused margaritas for the girls, Guinness for the boys) we got to talking about my favorite topic - Divorce - and the reason for it. She and the guys felt that libido issues factored heavily into most [...]
Jamie Czerniawski’s divorce demonstrates the dangers of text messages
Here's a soon to be divorced woman whose endorphins are raging out of control! Jamie Czerniawski is enjoying new celebrity due to some racy, blush-inducing text messages she sent to her paramour apparent. Jamie was a contestant on "wife swap" in case you ever saw her on it (I haven't; no tv). But. So. That means she is MARRIED!!! Yet, she is [...]
Divorce not yet signed and he’s already shopping at La Perla for the other woman who just happens to be Asian?
Forgive me in advance if this post is even slightly inappropriate. Two things inspired this post. The first is an article I was reading in a fashion mag today called, The New Trophy Wife by Ying Chu. The other was a memory I had of an article I had read in New York Magazine about CEO George David's divorce from Countess Marie Douglas David, [...]
Divorce Statistics – age, education, children, cohabitation, sex
I was reading this article about divorce statistics which I thought was germane to our divorce blog. Based on what they are saying (and you may or may not agree) people who marry at a younger age - under age 20- are more likely to get divorced and the woman is more likely to be the one to ask for divorce. Over age 20 and under age 30 it seems [...]
Rick Pitino and Karen Sypher on Divorce, abortion, extortion and custody
Where do I begin with this one? Well, let's start off by reiterating: A man is never responsible for his sexual indiscretions. It is always the fault of his wife and/or his mistress (if he cheats with a woman). If he cheats with a man, then everybody knows it's his mother's fault.... Having said that, Rick Pitino, college basketball coach [...]
