photo by longhorndave Dear Em & Lo, My husband and I have been been sexually active with one another for five years. I’ve been smoking cigarettes for four years. I slowed down dramatically when I got pregnant in 2007 (from needing my own pack to two cigarettes a day or none at all). My husband […]

This week, a reader asks Lauri: Last night, I had a dream where I was staying at his house, but in a separate room, and in […]
Durex Play More lube Our contributor Lisa has a confession to make: It’s not every day you get to take a new line of lube for a test drive — that’s one of the perks of contributing to EMandLO.com. I had sworn off the stuff for a while after a bad experience with the mint-flavored […]
photo by Daquella Advice from three of our guy friends. This week they answer the following: Should I pay more attention to my boyfriend’s balls? Straight Single Guy (Mark): Well, at least don’t forget about them. Getting past the generic notion that everyone’s preferences are different, and thus communication with your partner is key — […]
photo by dougwoods Wondering what’s the 2009 equivalent of “the dog ate my homework”? It’s “the cat downloaded my child porn.” Seriously. In the you’ve-got-to-be-f&#*ing-kidding-us department: South Korea paints parking spaces pink to designate them for women in heels. Kathy Griffin continues to endear herself to us by bringing Levi Johnston as her date for […]
If you could cheat on your committed long-term partner, just once, and it was guaranteed they would never find out, you wouldn’t get an STD or have to deal with an unintended pregnancy, and you’d never see or hear from the fling again, would you? If you could cheat on your partner and were sure […]
It’s kind of ironic: women turn to vibrators so their hands don’t have to do the work, but with the new Earth Angel vibe you have to hand-crank it to get it to work. Of course, it’s for a good cause: renewable, sustainable energy! And we suppose if you crank using both hands equally, you […]
We’re not sure which is more disturbing: this video, or the 1,396 (and counting) comments that make us fear for the future of sex (and humanity), including such gems as: It’s like my penis! Save your money ladies you can get lean toned(lol) arms for free! You’ll be slapping away that arm flab in no […]
Bathroom stall graffiti at Tres Sugar Tres Sugar gathers some of the best unsolicited advice and musings written on bathroom walls. You’ve gotta love The Frisky’s “Ask Grandma” feature: “Sex Advice from a Snazzy Silver Fox.” College Candy reports on chewing gum that freshens breath and improves his erection by increasing blood flow. So now […]
Since we were extolling the virtues of condoms the other day (in light of all the withdrawal hub-bub), we wanted to talk about a new brand on the market. While we often automatically dismiss Trojans as your basic, quintessential (i.e. unexciting) condom, they’ve actually been making real efforts to compete with some of the more […]
This past Wednesday we published a thank you letter from a reader who [patting ourselves firmly on the back] benefited from our advice concerning his open relationship. Well, we know that we’re not solely responsible for the success story, so we asked Zac to elaborate on how he was able to banish the green-eyed monster. […]
Please, just say yes to condoms. There’s been a lot of media drooling over the latest research which suggests that withdrawal may be a legitimate form of birth control. This is great news for couples in long-term, monogamous, committed relationships who have complete trust in one another, who have made an educated decision to be […]
The Impostor’s Daughter by Laurie Sandell Laurie Sandell’s graphic memoir, The Impostor’s Daughter, just hit bookstores, and even if she wasn’t our good friend, we’d still tell you that it’s our number one pick for a beach read this summer. (By the way, “graphic memoir” = graphic novel-style memoir. The rest of the book is […]
About 18 months ago we answered a reader’s plea for advice about her open relationship. And then just this week we heard from the reader’s boyfriend, Zac, who told us that the advice totally worked! We’re suckers for a success story, especially when it’s one of our own, so we thought we’d reprint the various […]

This week, a male reader asks Lauri: I’m in the kitchen and a guy who is about 5 years younger than I am enters. Apparently […]
Our contributor is a student at an East coast university. And that’s all she’s willing to say. Except this… There’s something about the heat of the summer sun that makes everyone a little more frisky, a little more excited, a little more promiscuous — it’s the season of bathing suits, little clothing, late-night dates, sex […]
