Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

All of that is just bullshit. Ninety percent of the women I have know (now I'll admit most are not mothers) complain that the men do not want sex as much as they do.

My DH fills AND empties the dishwasher, takes care of all the trash, and sometimes even vacuums. He calls it "choreplay".

I guess I find that traditional gender roles work for us, but we are both very traditional people. I never get more turned on than when I'm watching him fix something or change my oil, etc Covered in grease and oil, sweaty and smelly as hell and I'm so ready to go! But SO is really good about pitching in to vacuum, do laundry, pick up the house and some dishes here and there!
