If you listened to my podcast about how TV shows for teens used to show that married adults have sex, you will love this line I just heard upon rewatching the first episode of Dawson's Creek: "Moms have great sex lives." Doesn't that seem insane given where we are at 20+ years later? Part of being an adult used to be having sex and having fun in general, and now the norm seems to be to view yourself as a sacrificial lamb slaughtered on the pyre of your children's happiness. What has changed, why, and how can you counteract it?
