					<description><![CDATA[My wife, Gina, always gets chosen. I don’t know how it works—some combination of her face, her body, her laugh, her utter lack of self-consciousness—but put her in a room of a hundred people and whoever is looking for a volunteer will find her within thirty seconds.

					<description><![CDATA[Forbes ran a piece last week that caught my attention — the recognition of a life I’d been living for three years without knowing it had a name. The article listed seven destinations where the ultra-wealthy now travel for longevity: Austrian clinics, Thai resorts, Mexican retreats, etc. The wellness tourism market is barreling toward $1.4...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Porn Conversations #19 I was fifteen years old, lying on the floor of a dilapidated trailer shower, when my body introduced itself to me for the first time. We had no television. No internet. No one had told me anything about sex beyond the vague assurance that my father and mother had prayed for...]]></description>

Something in those pages opened a door I hadn&#8217;t known was there. Jung drew a small mandala every morning. A circle divided into four. A map...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Porn Conversations #18 In an earlier post about nude beaches, I mentioned in passing that psychologists describe porn in levels — level one being the mildest, level five the most explicit. I gave it one sentence and moved on. My inbox did not move on. Enough of you wrote asking what that actually means...]]></description>
