How to Handle Valentine's Day When You're Polyamorous
By David Moye - AOL NewsYou'd think that a woman who enjoys what she calls "sport sex" wouldn't have trouble finding a Valentine. But you'd be wrong, both about the woman and her situation. Angye Fox, 40, runs a successful ad agency in Florida and, yes, she is also a swinger who has sex with different partners without being in love with any of them. Although she sometimes goes to swing parties with a male friend, she considers herself single. As such, Valentine's Day is a melancholy time for her. "It can be lonely," she told AOL News. "Take New Year's Eve, for instance. I do a radio show in Florida called the ...
Best Friend Ban? What a Lousy, Orwellian Way to Rear Children
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyHey there, helicopter parents and minions in schools, camps and extra-circular activities: "Nineteen Eighty-Four" called. It wants its fascism back. We here at Woman Up are weighing in on The New York Times story, "A Best Friend?

And I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't time for more women to -- as we say in politics -- "throw the bums out." I got to thinking about this after my colleague, Melinda Henneberger, wrote a post last weekend about one of those marriages about which we know just a bit too much: Silda and Elliot Spitzer's. You may recall Spitzer as the former governor of New York who stepped down when it was revealed that he'd been patronizing a prostitution service. And you will certainly recall his wife, Silda, who stood ...
Today's Couples: More Staying, Fewer Straying
By Ria Misra - Politics DailySpeculation on the decline of American marriages may be more than 30 years behind the times. Scientific American reports that a new study presented at last week's American Psychological Association convention by Alliant International University shows that -- much like pairing mini-skirts with eyelet-laced platform boots -- cheating on your significant other was more common in the 1970s than today. In a study of long-term heterosexual and homosexual couples, researchers found that across the board couples were less likely to have an affair than their counterparts from the last time the study ...
