Over the years, I have often wondered what my pets and livestock would write if they could. The stories that follow come from a host of animals with some stories from my viewpoint. I started writing stories to share with my friends. Then these friends asked that I consider getting them published so that other people could have some joy in their lives. Seeing as the Bible said laughter is like good medicine, I decided to compile some stories and write more. Some of the people who answer the e-mails are real people, and some of the answers from them are from me so that I can keep a story going or try to keep it clearer or funny. One last disclaimer: no farm animals were hurt writing these stories, but some chickens did lose feathers and had their serenity disturbed.

A healthy, vibrant sexual relationship is crucial to both parties in a marriage. When John L and his wife divorced after forty-two years of marriage and five children, he began contemplating how to revolutionize his sex life. After studying the major thinkers and researchers of sexual philosophy that included Kinsey, Masters and Johnson, Ogden, Tantra, Quodoushka, and others, John learned the difference between having sex, making love, and divine sexual union. In a candid guide intended to shift humanity’s thinking away from hatred and suspicion and toward love and tolerance, John shares personal anecdotes and insight from his research in order to help others attain guilt-free, divine sexual relationships. After reflecting on his Catholic upbringing and how it affected his own views about sexuality, John explores the female perspective, divorce and relationships, pride in the physical self, exercise and nutrition, guilt trips and cultural values, sexual options, and much more. Making Love Forevermore shares anecdotes and insight from great thinkers to encourage both sexes to experiment, have honest conversations, make love, seek mutual pleasure, and embrace their spiritual powers.
