I gave Joanna Cattanach her first job at the Morning News — with Neighbors. I had no idea that when she left the paper she’d be founding her own Web venture, in which “real women” have “real discussions,” with an awful lot of those discussions focused on empowering women to enjoy better sex and become cougars.
But when I read what she had to go through for an interview with a Frisco couple who operate a sex advice website, I felt like maybe I should have intervened sooner, to prevent her life from taking this unfortunate turn. As she describes the painful experience:
They have no formal training in therapy or sexual health, but they more than make up for it with enthusiasm. These two really seem to enjoy sex. “We’re completely nonjudgmental,” says Dan, over mojitos and margaritas at a local Mexican restaurant. He and Jennifer shared a smile and laugh, completely engrossed in each other – to the point where they seem to be on the verge of making out. In public no less!
Dan whispers to Jennifer, “You’re so hot.” I avert my gaze and focus on the chips and salsa.
Joanna, I’m cringing for you.
