I’ve also recently hosted a series of taped discussions with John Gray, Ph.D. and other relationship experts for YourTango. See the latest episodes:

Can Sex Really Be Meaningless?

What is the meaning of sex for you? It’s different for everyone.

Whether you’re single, dating or married, sex likely plays a huge role in your life and relationship. We know sex to be an intimate activity but the way it is perceived differs for each person. For instance, you either feel connected through sex or use sex to feel connected. But is it possible to have sex and have it be meaningless?

Relationship experts John Gray and Tammy Nelson are joined by YourTango experts Susan Heitler, Annie Gleason and Margaret Paul to discuss the ideas we have about sex and what role emotions play in building connections between two people.

Watch the video to learn why having sex on the third (or fourth) date might not be a good idea if you’re looking for a relationship and the other ways men and women differ in the bedroom.

Is Marriage Better For Men Or Women?

When it comes to marriage, the running joke is that all women want to get married and all men dream of being bachelors forever. While there may be some truth that men enjoy the freedom of being single, the fact remains that there are a variety of benefits to being married. Or rather, happily married.

Relationship experts Bonnie Eaker Weil, John Gray, Tammy Nelson, Christine Baumgartner and Susan Campbell discuss the numerous benefits of marriage (besides tax breaks) and why you’ll probably be healthier if you’re in a happy union.
