Well Readers, my book: Cyber Frogs And Princes: A Sex Manual Of On-Line Dating Over 50 has published on Amazon. Kindle and paperback so far, hardcover coming soon. Here's a snippet from CHAPTER 36: PAUL had never heard of Ben Wa balls that were worn internally by Chinese women during the war to pleasure themselves while slaving away for 15-hour days at mind-numbing factory jobs. Available as sex toys today with that same mind-altering dreamy effect. -SQDear Suze Q. We’re a religious family that doesn’t believe in abortions. At least we were until our two grown daughters discussed that a family friend was devastated, pregnant, carrying a deformed baby. It shook our beliefs knowing this poor, single girl’s motherhood will change her forever.
Dear Religious, Beliefs about abortion take on another dimension when it’s someone you know and their life story. As the controversy rages in American courts, the Supreme Court today ruled to continue telehealth dispensation of the abortion pill, mifepristone, putting the choice back in the hands of women and their doctors, not legislators. -SQ
Dear Suze Q, My girlfriend’s a bit of a woo-woo believer, Tarot and such. I did the copper bracelet thing and have no idea if my knees feel better or worse. Now she wants us to buy copper (or silver) infused bed sheets that supposedly kill germs and bacteria and cost a fortune and require plug in.
Dear Metal Man, My go-to for consumer research is the New York Times Wirecutter reports (no newspaper subscription required). They conclude that nothing beats soap, hot water, and agitation (washing machine), to clean sheets WEEKLY and rid germs and bacteria. And lots of temperature-regulated systems give your bed the ideal snugness. So, unless you’re into extreme sports or shed skin cells, dirt, etc. excessively, or want to please your woo-woo gf, consider that metal infused bedsheets are scientifically unproven as wonder sheets (and do not substitute as superhero capes). -SQ
Dear S.Q. My partner and I have lived happily together for years. In our 30s, he wants to get married. I don’t see the point. We work and play hard and don’t need kids to “complete” us. Maybe someday but not for several years.
Dear Unmarried, Marriage is no longer viewed as a rite of passage into “acceptable society” as previously dictated by religious and cultural standards. Many want to avoid the “sins” of their divorced parents, although it’s doubtfully that easy. Marriage or exclusive commitment have much in common, including constant work to make the relationship strong and thrive. Previously, one perk of marriage was your child(ren) had the same last name as the parents, but that’s been solved with hyphenation or deemed irrelevant. Childbirth while mom was in her 20’s has been replaced by women in their 40s or even 50s (with a surrogate). Unmarried is another swing of the societal change pendulum. What’s right for you is the best path. -SQ
Dear S.Q. Just want to vent a minute. My adult kids joke that I should give my wife a Mother’s Day gift. When our sons were babies, toddlers, young children, -whose money bought those Mother’s Day cards and gifts, those celebratory meals out, and helped with “homemade gifts” until the kids were mature enough to do it on their own?
Dear Dad, You are so right! And behind Father’s Day gifts there is often his wife, and a mother joining her children's love for Dad on his day of celebration. Love and fun makes the world a happier place. -SQ

HOT OFF THE AMAZON PRESSES! Suze Q's debut book is ready to make your mother blush (on Mother's Day) and your friends snicker. Sex manual indeed!
Dear Readers, My book, Cyber Frogs And Princes: A Sex Manual For On-Line Dating After 50 🐸👑 has launched on Amazon, just in time for Mother’s Day! If you thought 50 Shades of Grey could only be read with a flashlight under the sheets, welcome to my autofiction, a not-100% true five-year journey looking for Prince Charming in Californian’s City of Angels. It evolved into a self-help book for others over 50 wading into the on-line dating pond loaded with so many frogs to avoid that I categorized them for you: the Not Over His XYZ, the Sex Teaser, the Fraud Frog and a dozen others. My book is full of tips and quips to guide you through your old and new mindset; his and her physical working of elder sex with elder bodies; and through my psychological lens what really is narcissism, depression, sex disorders, and such. My book is dirty in parts, but then so is growing old and swimming in frog ponds. My experiences are not for the feint of heart, much like on-line dating,but the fun and rewards are vast. -Suze Q
