While these rules were meant to aid us in avoiding “bad boys” and life’s most difficult challenges, they can also constrain and hamper our intimacy experiences as we grow older.
Here’s your chance to give it up. Tell me—in 50 words or less—what “good girl” rule you’ve recently broken and how it’s been a positive and/or liberating experience for you.

Good girls don’t make the first ‘big move’. Upon making out with the now love of my life, I noticed a very desirable bulge in his jeans. He was handsome, sexy and sincere…and I really liked what I felt up against me. I could not have been more attracted or turned on, so I reached down and showed him just how irresistible he was. It was freeing & exhilarating.
I spent one full week day last week in bed just because I wanted to. After doing what absolutely had to be done first thing in the morning and having very unsatisfying sex with my husband, I spent the entire rest of the day reading erotica, watching a bit of porn, and pleasing myself exactly as I wished. I hit the deck running with renewed enthusiasm the next day, and had a couple of tough but important conversations with my husband after that.
I would add that good girls don’t leave their husband, seperate all finances, buy their own condo, and take a lover. I decided that I was tired of being a part of the “perfect couple” where it all looked wonderful on the outside; good jobs, nice child, nice house but where not ONE square foot was all mine. It was rotting on the inside; no intimacy, no sex, no communication except when we were playing the “perfect couple.” At 53 I now have what I want and do as I please. I am a “good girl gone bad.” And I love it!
Alphagirl, what courage you have to leave what most would consider to be a terrific life. And I’m thrilled to hear you have what you want in life today! You go girl!
