All She Wants For Christmas Is A Wedding Date

Dear Duana, All I want for Christmas is to get married or at least engaged. Alex and I fell in love right when we met.

Folk Wisdom: Your sex life survey: Quantity & Quality

Wise Readers,

It’s only natural to be curious about others’ sex lives.  The quick 7-item questionnaire at this link (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NCBDGPX ) is about sexual quantity and quality.  As always, it’s anonymous—I won’t know who you are unless you tell me, and even if you tell me, your name will be altered or deleted so that nobody else knows. Results will be published next week, along with results per the social science. Thank you!

Cheers,
Duana
