Pulling on his pants after our intimate encounter in my Las Vegas hotel room, the cute 23-year-old I’d just picked up holds out his cellphone, urging me to tap in my number.
“You really don’t have to take it,” I say.
Having sex with a stranger is thrilling, but I’m not that interested in a repeat performance.
Two minutes after he’s gone, I climb back into bed and text my husband, Scott, whom I’ve been with for 18 years. “Just saying good night,” I type. “Good night, dove,” writes back Scott from wherever he is.
Scenarios like these were typical during my year of living dangerously — the crazy 12 months in 2008 and 2009 I jokingly call my “Wild Oats Project,” when Scott and I had an open marriage.
Stuck in a rut — our once-a-week sex life was loving, but lacked spontaneity and passion — I was craving seduction and sexual abandon. I was having a midlife crisis and chasing this profound, deeply rooted experience of being female.

What a sad commentary. She says she put her creativity and energy which she would have used as a mother, and put that towards exploring her sexuality. How far we have fallen.

He didn’t want kids. He wanted to f*ck.
Simple and straight - when people tell you they don’t want to build a family, walk away.
No one held a gun to her head.
I THINK the picture is of the author, not the subject of the story.
That’s not so different from the Islamic institution of “temporary marriage.”

Understandably, the photographer put Robin Rinaldi's best foot forward for the article. Here is another photo, which I have to judge "Not Guilty" for a 50 year old.
but it felt good, and isn’t that all that matters?...come on people...get with the program...
