It's official: Writing a book about female orgasms can destroy your marriage.
Just saw this breathlessly reported piece of gossip at the New York Post's Page Six site:
IT is finally official - Kim Cattrall and her hubby, Mark Levinson, have split. "Yes, they are taking a break," said Cattrall's rep. Careful readers will recall that our fellow columnist Cindy Adams wrote about the rift in December, when she noted Levinson had flirted with other women. The story was loudly and repeatedly denied. On Tuesday, Liz Smith reported the two were "separated." And Cattrall, who's away skiing, is finally coming clean. "They had nothing in common," explained a spy.
Maybe the clues to the separation can be found in this exerpt from the Amazon.com book review:
A little education for men can go a long way. The concepts are basic--anyone who isn't a virgin probably knows them. But the rub lies in the consistency, the selflessness, and the patience required of the man. Cattrall and Levinson ask their male readers how they'd feel if they experienced some physical pleasure during lovemaking but never got to climax; they would likely get frustrated after a while.
Ooops.
Can you imagine being Levinson and going into a book store, only to see for all time your name on a Big O title next to your ex-wife's?
