If you’ve listened to Howard Stern even once over the past decade (that’d be Em, not Lo), then you know that one of his most loyal advertisers is the Ashley Madison Agency — the online dating site that caters to married people with the tagline “Life is short. Have an affair.” Charming. On and off […]
photo by Bohman A weekly roundup of some of our favorite sex- and love-related posts from various blogs and websites: YourTango lists the 6 best superhero TV husbands. The Frisky outlines “13 things guys don’t understand about women’s bodies” — let’s be kind and call them “things guys need to understand about women’s bodies.” One […]
photo by adactio We’ve always heard from our less-than-scrupulous guy friends that a wedding band lures single women in like flies to honey — apparently it works better even than a cute puppy or a baby bjorn. Though, we suppose if we’re going to be really fair, we should save the word “unscrupulous” for the […]
We’ve been asked before if it’s okay to “reuse” a sex toy that outlasts the relationship it was originally purchased for. This rarely happens with battery-operated vibrators, as their shelf life is so limited, but it’s often an issue with something more hardy, like a silicone dildo. If you’re only going to reuse it on […]
You don’t become rich writing about sex, but you do occasionally get taken out to fancy lunches at posh spots by editors and publishers with nice expense accounts. So we were lucky enough to find ourselves at the rooftop pool of the Soho House, that private club in NYC (the one Samantha sneaks into in […]
You know that soft, worn, concert t-shirt you’ve been holding on to that was left behind by that asshole who broke your heart with a meat cleaver? Well, now you have a chance to get rid of it once and for all, to make a clean break — and the best thing about it is […]

Dear Em & Lo, I read your articles, and you give great advice to other readers, so maybe you can help me! My husband lives in another country; he’s in the process of coming over here, but we aren’t even sure when! We have been apart for a year already, and we’ve been married for […]
photo by The_Iglesia Other people’s dreams are never interesting…except when they’re about sex. Each week, our dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg tells one lucky reader what their dirty dream means. This week, a reader asks Lauri: I am in a relationship. It has its ups/downs but I love him. Yet I have recurring dreams about having […]
photo by permanently scatterbrained Our contributor Abby Spector, who is double-majoring in English and Feminine/Gender/Sexuality Studies at Wesleyan University, has a confession to make: I consider myself a sexual adventurer. As a bisexual who has posed naked for photographers, enjoys threesomes, and has a collection of vibrators, I think I deserve the label. However, there […]
photo by emdot Advice from three of our guy friends. This week they answer the following: Who should pay on a first date? Gay Committed Guy (Terence): A general rule that you can’t go wrong with: whoever asked their date out should pay. Real simple, eh? Now if you want to be real smooth, then […]
photo by CarbonNYC Study shows a broken heart may actually increase your risk of heart disease…but only in women. Just in case you thought the playing field was starting to get too even. Public health officials consider mandatory recommending routine circumcision — yes, here in the U.S. — to lower H.I.V. risk. The blogosphere’s skank […]
photo by adactio Dear Em & Lo, My issue is that I fantasize about sleeping with my best friend’s sister — I have for several years now. I feel I’m a little obsessed about her. She has a boyfriend. The worst part: we share a flat together. Fortunately, she’s out a lot, and when she […]
photo by Southern_Foodways_Alliance Okay, so it’s technically two words, but “Phrase of the Week” just doesn’t roll off the tongue in quite the same way. Anyway, “Schrodinger’s Date” is something that feels kind of like a date but may be more accurately described as a period of hanging out as a prelude to fucking. Even […]
There isn’t better proof that an active, healthy, happy sex life keeps you looking young and vibrant than Betty Dodson, the great American sex educator who basically invented sex-positive feminism and almost single-handedly made masturbation okay for women. She turns 80 today — and she doesn’t look a day over 60! She’s in the process […]
Pek Van Andel won the 1999 Ig Nobel Prize in medicine for a report published in the British Medical Journal on the world’s first MRI images of a couple’s sexual organs during actual intercourse. Well, Van Andel turned those images into a video, which is just now available online for the first time. Enjoy. Read […]
