The Secret Sex Life of a Single Mom

The other reviewers are missing the point. It is not a porno. It is more if you take the time to really feel what the movie is showing. Taking a doormat person and teaching how they are in power. Showing that each person can be a strong person with some training and development. Listen to the message being given not looking for the sex. This movie is a teaching of a doormat, allowing men to control and make them feel lowly, and showing there is more. It is not about sex but becoming sexual. Opening the mind to see other options are available to those willing to open their minds to see the power available. it is a good movie for women and men looking for more in their lives. With other books out there about this lifestyle this movie has a good message if you hear the message given.

When she finds out her successful husband has had an affair, bored 36-year-old housewife and mother Ashley Jones (as Delaine Morris) responds by getting the needle from her handsome acupuncturist. After a few sexy sessions, Ms. Jones decides to divorce husband Scott Gibson (as Robert Morris). Alas, she finds out doctor lover Jeff Roop (as Graham) is more fruitful than faithful. Jones is obviously a slow study. With her affair and marriage on the rocks, Jones contemplates what her friends call "sloppy sex." They advise her to avoid looking for "Mr. Right" and go for "Mr. Tonight!" Jones winds up seeking out Seattle sex solicitor Alex Carter (as Shane aka "The Duke") for a "dominant/submissive" relationship. Before making her submit to him, the older Mr. Carter demands Jones have "slutty sex" with muscular 24-year-old Wesley Morgan (as Payton)...

This TV movie plays like porn with the naughty parts cut out. Underneath it all is an actual point – a woman matures by agreeing to be submissive instead of just being submissive. Not buying that thesis at all – but Jones is a pretty woman to watch. She looks spectacular getting in and out of black dresses. However, her progression through various sex partners is uninteresting. Best undressed scenes are when she disrobes in from of a window for her neighbors and when "The Duke" instructs her to try on a new dress. He forbids her wearing panties. You see nothing, but the word "panties" always arouses TV ratings. While the story is based on a presumably revelatory memoir, the teleplay is merely a few sexual fantasies strung together for distaff TV viewers. Known for her daytime serial roles, Jones is well cast. She and her lovers are attractive.

**** The Secret Sex Life of a Single Mom (5/31/14) John L'Ecuyer ~ Ashley Jones, Scott Gibson, Alex Carter, Wesley Morgan

Movie is interesting and thought-provoking. It was certainly worth my time. It's about a woman going through a new experience. I think it was a "drama" movie with some surprises(no mystery though).

This movie is a perfect example why every film ever made or ever showcased on Lifetime is terrible. Although the movies are bad, it is the storyline and the demographic of the audience that makes every movie a success for Lifetime. The acting is mediocre, the production value is basic, but the theme of every movie hits a certain chord with its audience. Each movie connects with a group of women because of how the woman is depicted as a special victim. The Secret Sex Life of a Single Mom is perfect click bait from its title, box cover art and the storyline. The movie lacks nudity, sex, lust, romance and everything else a title like this should offer. The movie has more haters than likes but that does not matter. The Victim audience needs movies like this so they can reflect, not entertained.

Ashley Jones is a great actress and she tries her best to make this movie work. Although the film has its moments, it has minutes of utter crap. Along with Jones, Scott Gibson is a surprising delight. When there is nothing else on tv, movies like this are a must watch if you are a stay-at-home wife / mother and or find the topics relatable. Hence, this is a perfect Lifetime movie. You have been warned!

So this is supposed to be empowering women by them becoming a slave to a demanding master male, supposedly teaching her about her empowerment of being able to have sex with whomever she wants??? Laughable, she is never to wear panties in his presence, demands complete obedience by the woman and she must always obey him no matter what and never question him???? Unbelievable, she sold out her dignity and her womanhood!!! She got used!!!
