What happens outside the bedroom affects what happens in the bedroom, and when couples are connected intimately, their relationship can be more vital and stronger than they ever imagined.
Ian Kerner
As a Hollywood actress, I know better than anyone that we live in a culture that slavishly worships youth, and where real women are gradually stripped of their sexual power. But dont underestimate a real woman. You want to see sexy? Ill show you sexy! You want to know about great sex? Ill show you great sex. You want a cougar? Ill give you a tigress! Im just reaching my peak, and I feel sexier than everand so can you!
Lisa Rinna
Harry Hamlin and I are two actors who have been together for twenty years. Thats like 150 in Hollywood years! And honestly, sexand by that I mean great sexis a big part of what keeps us together and strong.
Lisa Rinna
