Being a personal porn star
This article from advice columnist Amy Dickinson appeared in our local paper last week:The question that Amy is responding to comes from a new mother of twins whose husband is watching porn while feeding the babies at 2AM.
The part that is intriguing to me is these two sentences from Amy's reply:
It became even more intriguing a day or two later when I realized that if she is my personal porn star, then I must be her personal porn star as well. That puts another new spin on things.
Ultimately it causes you to ask an inevitable question -- is each couple's relationship an elaborate porn film featuring two porn stars as they live their lives? I'll leave that question for the philosophers. It certainly would be a different way to look at life.
Anyway, I can tell you that my porn movie has changed since I realized I am one of its stars.
The part that is intriguing to me is these two sentences from Amy's reply:
- The first months of your twins' lives are exhausting and overwhelming for everyone. Your husband may be wondering — as many husbands do — if he will ever get his own personal porn star back. (That would be you, by the way).

It's intriguing because I have never thought of my wife as my personal porn star.
But I've always thought of her as my personal porn star :)
