Chances are, if you clicked on this post, you are or have been in this boat, you're looking for a good laugh or both. Either way, here you go... Sex changes after you have kids. No one wants to talk about it, but it does. It changes even more when you know you are done having kids. It changes even more than that when the thought of becoming pregnant again terrifies you and you are done jamming yourself with birth control pills, patches, shots, and implants all in the name of having carefree sex. When you reach that point in your relationship, typically you have a conversation with your partner and come to an agreement that he goes in for the snip. Unfortunately, for some of us, it's not that simple. Some of us wind up with partners that are "too scared", feel like their manhood is being taken, or whatever their excuse may be, but they will complain on the regular about how sex isn't the same or how it isn't as often as they'd like, but are completely unwilling to do anything about it. This post is for YOU. DEAR HUSBAND... Dear Husband, Get a vasectomy. For the love of God, just do it. Maybe you've been there, maybe you haven't, but let me tell you, being with someone that refuses to have a vasectomy when you are 400,765,965% sure you're done having children is no easy feat. In my humble opinion, the best part is when they complain about sex not being the same or lack thereof, when they have complete control over this. Truth be told, the thought of getting pregnant again scares the ever loving shit out of me, so subconsciously I go into "whatever I have to do to make sure that never happens again" mode. You've had the privilege of "blowing loads", as you call it (anyone else's husband this classy? I know, I've got a keeper 🤣), for a whopping 12 years. That's 12 whole years of carefree (for the most part) sex. Throughout that 12 years, I was stuffing my body with birth control pills, shots, and patches, all to make sure that you could have the sexual satisfaction that you so desired (I know, I know. I did too, but this is about you. I did my part). I'm 35. I'm done. No more pills. This is your turn to take the reigns of responsibility where our family planning is concerned. Amidst those 12 years of sexual bliss, I've managed to nourish, house, and grow 2 of our children in this body. Aside from ridiculously uncomfortable Pap Smears and exams that occur once a month during pregnancy, I have suffered from sciatica, plantar fasciitis, and a plethora of other ailments that come along with pregnancy. I've endured contractions. I've endured needles being stuck in me over and over again while being induced. I've endured epidurals. My vagina stretched the size of an entire bagel to squeeze out 2 babies that YOU created with me. I'm left with stretch marks, which I like to refer to as my tiger stripes, and our last pregnancy left a sweet extra 12 pounds on me that legiterally WILL. NOT. GO. AWAY. I still wouldn't complain about ANY of it... until you start complaining about a vasectomy, that is. So, forgive me when I cannot even take you seriously when your fear of a 15 minute outpatient procedure makes me literally LOL. Forgive me when I can't understand your hesitation to take accountability for your own role in our sex life to make it thebomb(dot)com again. Honestly, it has me wondering how men are regarded by many as a superior species or pillars of strength because, in all reality, it's rather weak of you.

The World Is Mourning: Luke Perry Is Gone. Dylan McKay is Gone. A Message For His West Beverly Fans.3/5/2019 If you're reading this, you probably remember Luke Perry as resident bad boy heartthrob Dylan McKay from Beverly Hills 90210. It didn't matter who hooked up with Dylan after Brenda and Kelly had their way with him, you're either team Brenda + Dylan (Brylan) or Kelly + Dylan (Kellan) and there's no in between. If you're a diehard fangirl, you saw every episode and are currently binging it on Hulu (but how would I know) ;) . The teenage girl in you squealed with excitement when you heard the news that Fox was bringing back the original Beverly Hills 90210 cast for a reboot this summer and just KNEW that Luke and Shannen would cave, come back, and give the fans what they wanted; to know that Dylan and Brenda lived happily ever after... As I write this, it has officially been 24 hours since the devastating news of Luke Perry's passing from a massive stroke at just 52 years old, was announced. The internet is abuzz with condolences, shock, disbelief and virtual tears. If the world loved Luke this much, I cannot imagine what the people closest to him are feeling right now. However, I think it's pretty safe to say that everyone under the sun can offer their utmost condolences, but all eyes are on his former West Beverly castmates, Jennie Garth, Shannen Doherty, Tori Spelling, Brian Austin Green, Tiffani Thiessen, Jason Priestley, Gabrielle Carteris and Ian Ziering, who gave the most amazing tribute on Instagram: "Dearest Luke, I will forever bask in the loving memories we've shared over the last thirty years. May your journey forward be enriched by the magnificent souls who have passed before you, just like you have done here for those you leave behind. God please give him a seat close to to you, he deserves it." I think I expected Ian (Steve) to lead the way. He couldn't have written a better tribute. Even his wife, Erin Ziering, said: ![]() "We are truly heartbroken this morning. Luke welcomed me into Hollywood with the biggest bear hug ever. He was a man’s man and a true gentleman. He always called our house line, just to check in when Ian was away and only referred to himself when he called as Uncle Lukey to our girls. We shared our love of farm life and chatted about living in Ohio. When I was pregnant with Penna he didn’t think our hillside was safe enough for our then 2 year old so he went to work laying the foundation for our picket fence. (We even took our maternity photos that day and he of course jumped in ) I will have to find that one for you all one day." Rebecca Gayheart, Perry's former onscreen wife, posted: "Just heartbroken 💔. I need some time before commenting further." Completely understandable, Rebecca! ![]() Gabrielle Carteris wrote: "Dearest Luke- I am so heart broken and at a loss for words. You my friend were a mighty soul and have left your mark. My love and prayers to the family and all who loved you. RIP" and one of the most loved interviews from Entertainment Tonight with Shannen Doherty, "He's my Dylan", is making its rounds online: After Luke's death, Shannen also went on to tell People, "I am in shock. Heartbroken. Devastated by the loss of my friend. I have so many memories with Luke that make me smile and that are forever imprinted on my heart and mind. I will miss him everyday. Every minute. Every second." She added that she and Luke were working on ideas to work with each other again, that they wanted to create something special and meaningful for their fans at this stage in their life. {insert tears here} But for a lot of fans, that simply wasn't enough. People are hijacking Tori Spelling's youngest son's 2nd birthday picture with some seriously hateful rhetoric, like: and Tiffani Thiessen's page... Even Jason Priestley wasn't exempt... You guys, stop. Just stop. We cannot do this. Nothing they say is going to bring Luke back. What is this doing for you? As a long time fan you're grief stricken-- I get it, but imagine if you feel this way, how people that actually knew him feel. They are grieving. They cannot make you feel better right now. A.) It isn't their job, and B.) How can they make you feel better if they can't even make themselves OK right now? For Christ sake, let them mourn, people. Instead of flipping out on the OG cast of Beverly Hills 90210, how about we get our act together, and in honor of Luke, go out and HAPPEN TO OUR LIVES. {You can view the interview from 1992 with Maria Shriver, where he professes his intentions to happen to his life, not let his life happen to him, HERE.} Let's shower those that were close to him with love during this dark time in their lives instead of bullying and harassing them. It's not everyday an actor like Luke Perry comes along. I can tell you with 100% certainty that I try to avoid idolizing anyone, but as a human being, I find it extremely important to be able to find and keep the good ones. In a world that can seem dark, Luke was a light. Farewell to a legend. Feel free to comment your favorite Luke Perry on or off screen moments in the comments below.
