Information about OnMilwaukee.com author:
Sarah Foster RSS Feed

No, the OnMilwaukee.com sex columnist's real name is not Sarah Foster. (Foster is the model/actress that played an ex-lover of Vincent Chase in the first season of "Entourage.") In reality, our sex columnist is a Wisconsin native with a degree in journalism and a knack for getting people to talk to her.

Sarah never considered herself an "above average" listener. Others, however, seem to think differently. Perhaps she has a sympathetic tone or expression that compels people to share their lives and secrets with her despite how little they know her. Everyone from the girl that does her hair to people in line at the grocery store routinely spill the details of their lives and relationships to Sarah, unprompted but typically not unwanted. It’s strange to her that people would do this, but she doesn’t mind. Sarah likes that she can give advice even if it is to complete strangers.

So why the pseudonym? Simple. People tell Sarah these things because for some reason they trust her. They believe she cares and therefore will keep their secrets in a locked vault the same way a best friend or therapist would. Sarah won't name names, but that vault is now unlocked.

 What does it mean to live in a "Woman's Nation?"
 Perhaps you've heard about the recent study and subsequent news hype about the happiness of women in this country. Maria Shriver was a guest reporter on NBC's "Today" show last week and brought up the study in her segment, "A Woman's Nation." The premise is that women are less happy today than they were in 1972.

 Deconstructing the most wonderful four-letter word
 We all know people that throw around the word "love" as if they were saying "Thank you," or "Good morning." It's like when someone apologizes too often and too quickly and you can tell they don't even know what those words mean anymore. It isn't easy to say those three little words -- even when you are truly invested and involved in a relationship -- because the fear is you won't hear them in return.

 Let's show a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T for R-O-M-A-N-C-E
 Whether you're just starting something new or are years into it, romance is interconnected with many of the other aspects in a relationship: passion, sex, love, spontaneity, desire and longevity. Even when we feel like we know someone still wants us and thinks about us, it's always nice to be reassured. Romance happens, you don't need to plan it or pay for it, but don't ignore it. When the moment strikes, you need to take full advantage.

 Polygamy often leads to mind control and abuse
 Many people confuse polygamy with bigamy, which also means multiple marriages. The difference between the two is that in polygamy, all the involved parties know about one another, which is often not the case in bigamy. In this country, both are illegal. Bigamy is considered a misdemeanor and polygamy a felony. The practices are in the spotlight more and more due to recent court cases over the matter as well as popular television shows like "Big Love," which portray the ins and outs of polygamist families in a fictional setting.

 Overcoming fear is key to ending domestic abuse
 Domestic abuse is something many of us see every day, but either the signs are too slight to recognize or we believe that it's none of our business to intrude. It's true that many abusive relationships start out very subtle; so subtle, in fact, that victims themselves have trouble identifying the abuse until it reaches more severe levels. By that time, the manipulation of their emotions is such that even physical violence is not enough to convince them to seek help.

 Where temptation is just a mouse-click away
 The commercial grabs attention. A guy wakes up from a night of drinking, he's in bed with a large and unattractive woman, and he slips out of bed, grabs his stuff and sneaks down the stairs -- clearly trying to forget this ever happened. He's almost out the door when he gets a disappointed look on his face and the camera cuts to a wedding photo of him and the gal upstairs. Welcome to AshleyMadison.com.
