I confess - watching "Desperate Housewives" on Sunday nights is one of my guilty pleasures. The show doesn't typically provide many good examples of healthy sexuality, but last week was an exception. Gabby, who in past seasons has slept with her teenage gardener, was complaining about the lackluster quickies at 11:00 p.m. that had come to replace the previously passionate sex life with her husband. But she didn't stop at complaining. She went to great lengths to arrange a weekly play date for their daughter so they could have hot sex in the middle of the afternoon when they both still had some energy. The fact that the play date didn't work out and the daughter caught them in the middle of the act just added an additional story line.
Gabby did something else interesting. She inquired of her blind husband, Carlos, what it was like to have sex as a blind person. Carlos decided to show rather than tell and proceeded to blindfold her. Taking away sight produced an erotic encounter that emphasized the other senses.
It was nice to see a married couple on TV working to improve their sex life. Made me feel a little less guilty over my Sunday TV viewing.
