It’s my fifth year speaking at different Sex Shows. And with every show comes an interesting story.

This weekend, I met a young couple who were recently married and both virgins when they got married. They shyly came to me after my talk because she was experiencing pain during and after intercourse.

It’s always takes me by surprise when my sexual biases flair up. This couple could have told me they were into wild, kinky, hanging off the chandeliers sex and I wouldn’t have batted an eyelash. But them choosing to wait to have sex until marriage really pushes my buttons.

Of course, I didn’t let that show on my face or on my demeanor—I’ve developed an amazing poker face.

When it comes to New Year’s Resolutions, I feel as much dread as scrubbing a toilet.

With working, mommying and household running, it’s a victory if I leave the house. Now I’m supposed to “get in shape” and “quit” chewing my nails. Right, let me get on that as soon as I’ve scrubbed that bathroom.

Well, what if there were another way to look at it? Instead of “resolving” what you’ll change about your life, why not celebrate what changed last year? I’m not talking the earth-shattering changes on Oprah, I’m referring to everyday victories seldom recognized, much less celebrated.

• Count how many days you showered, got the kids ready and made it to school. All victories.
• How many days did you leave the house without PlayDoh molded to your butt like a curve-enhancer?

We will now be sharing our insight and laughter with the Pink Magazine community.

Take a look at our first post below: Is This Really My Life?

Have you ever wondered who stole your wildly cool, sane and laugh-a-minute life and left you with the crazy, unbalanced and decidedly not-so-cool life of a frazzled working mom in its place?

Yea, we have too.

Pretty much every day, actually.

But….the good news is we (and by we, we mean all of us working moms) are pretty good at getting the real lesson out of even the most unproductive, disorganized, previously-unimaginable, “Calgon-take-me-away” kind of days.

Here are some recent examples of some “Is-This-Really-My-Life” moments we’ve had and the accompanying lesson we will always carry from said moments:

1. Just because you consider yourself accomplished, talented and rational, doesn’t mean you are, should be or have to be the world’s most flawless hostess.

Don’t Hate Me Because I’m Beautiful

Were always hearing stories about oh-so-fabulous celebrities such as Angelina and Brad who are often traveling with their huge family. 

For a split second, we all imagine how tough it must be to deal with all those children. What saints they are for reaching out to these poor children who needed a home while bringing their own offspring into the world. Then, an instant later, our jealousy gene kicks in and casts a huge green cloud over us and we snatch back our empathy.

Blame it on the media…I know we blame the media for so much these days but it’s true.  We can’t resist listening to stories about $350 burp cloths and designer diaper bags.

We also hear all the “good mommy” and “bad mommy” behaviors such as Britney’s infamous car-seat scandal or the Baldwin - Bassinger voicemail broadcast.   (I’m not going to comment on either incident)

We have all seen the phrase ‘results may vary’ so often that it is almost invisible to us.

You see it on any TV commercial or advertisement about diet or fitness programs and there will be plenty of them as we approach the New Year. Companies will use the skinniest and prettiest person they can find to peddle their wares with the disclaimer that ‘results shown are not typical.’

If it is good enough for TV and magazines maybe we should start to use it as well. How about putting it on your resume? Can you imagine a small disclaimer at the bottom indicating that while you have portrayed yourself and the best thing since sliced bread – results shown are not typical!

Or, what about adding it to your profile on MySpace or FaceBook letting everyone know that the picture shown may not be exactly how you look today.

I popped in on my colleague, Susan Naylen Sorrell, who owns a wonderful, mom-friendly sex shop in called, A Little More Interesting.

With a mischievous glint in her eye she said, “Trina, you have to watch this!” And sent me home to review, the Pirates 2 Stagnetti’s Revenge; a four-disk porn epilogue that is a spoof on The Pirates of the Caribbean series.* (scroll down if you’re offended by porn)

Upon arriving home, my 13-month-old needed his nap and I threw the DVDs down wherever to take care of him.

A few hours later, like a flashing neon beacon, my husband found the Pirate porn movie and commented with happy surprise, “Where did you get this?” I told him. We talked and joked about the movie. I felt a flush of excitement thinking about watching it together and what fun it would be.
