We were having a few technical difficulties yesterday, but it looks like we’re back on track. Apologies for any interruption in your daily dose of sex, love and other fun stuff. And if you’re new to the site, we hope you’ll take off your coat and stay a while. Enjoy!
photo by I_See_AEE We have a love-hate relationship with sex studies. On the one hand, they’re the bread and butter of this blog (to wit: Study shows even cheaters’ guilt is selfish; Study shows the car doesn’t maketh the man; Study shows father knows best; Study shows some playas are just spreading the love; et […]

We mentioned comedian Mike Birbiglia in passing the other day, but failed to convey just how awesome he is. Someone who can appeal to both the audiences of Comedy Central and This American Life possesses a rare gift. He covers crass topics without ever crossing the line. He’s the boyfriend you love so much, but […]
photo by ian_ransley An article in last weekend’s NY Times Magazine about “cuckold wives” in politics notes, “I can find nothing in the dictionary that applies to sexually betrayed women, though you would think Webster would have added one by now.” Actually, according to Wikipedia, the female equivalent cuckquean first appeared in English literature in […]
photo by zorilla 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 (after the jump). This week, a reader asks Lauri: Hi, I have been having this recurring dream about my boyfriend of seven years. The first one […]
photo by kevindooley Our contributor Kristine deGuzman, a junior at UC Berkeley, has a confession to make: When I was a sophomore in college, I drooled over the idea of writing the “Sex On Tuesdays” column in the The Daily Cal, UC Berkeley’s main newspaper. I applied for the job at the end of my […]
photo by Publicly_Scalped Advice from three of our guy friends. This week they answer the following: Do men really love bitches? Straight Single Guy (Colin): Guys love a challenge. That’s why we’re always trying to fix cars, throw the perfect spiral, or look cool with really awful facial hair. If we’re ever with a bitch, […]
photo by aforero The recession (and, perhaps, that Sasha Grey movie The Girlfriend Experience) is pushing more and more women into sex work. In more cheery financial news, apparently being told “I love you” is worth more than $200,000. Too bad your credit card company won’t accept that sort of currency. If your new partner […]
photo by Daquella Manera Dear Em & Lo, In September I will participate in a charity event that depends on donations from people I know to raise money. In order to make my fundraising goal, I’m going to email everyone I know. Is it tasteless to include exes who may not really like me anymore […]
We usually don’t dignify the crazies with a response, but we just can’t let this one go: A string of reader responses got us so infuriated that we decided to dedicate an entire column to setting him straight (no pun intended). We’ve edited his comments for space and readability while maintaining their warped content and […]
Thanks to a tip from Goodvibes, we just watched this short and sweet clip from Jasmine, a 7-year-old transgender* kid who’s wise beyond her years. It reminded us of an excellent This American Life episode from earlier this year which features a touching story of two 8-year-olds who meet up when their families attend a […]

Turns out making women feel bad about the way they smell down there is a timeless classic! The LemonDrop gals […]
We were once fond of telling people who’ve been dumped to buy a box of red wine and watch some good mindless action movies. But we’ve now got a better idea: buy a box of rose (it is summer, after all) and spend a few hours scrolling through the archives of FAIL Blog. (If you […]
photo by demi-brooke Actually, the term we prefer is “play d’oh!” (exclamation mark optional). A few of our favorites: Bleating “I love you” on a one-night stand, right as you climax. Crying right after you climax (especially common after ex sex). Accidentally drunk-dialing your boss’s cellphone instead of your ex’s — and tuning out during […]
