<title>Presidential Race Special: The Sexual Frustration of a Famous First Lady &#38; What's Wrong with Staying Single?</title>
<link>http://smwdpodcast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=310555#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Join us as we discuss the sexual frustration of Mary Todd Lincoln, the FIRST first lady, and discuss an article titled "What's Wrong with Staying Single?" 

Along the way, we'll veer into such topics as: 
Abe Lincoln, gay or not?;
fear of sex;
why john's of the Wild West married prostitutes;
why society views singles more negatively than marrieds;
and a reminder to married listeners on how to set up your household to ensure you have more sex.
