photo by TheNaughtyAmerican.com One of our female friends currently in college, who wishes to remain anonymous, has a confession to make: I watch porn. That’s right, I said it: Porn. It’s a word that, among females especially, can be pretty taboo. Watching porn is simply not the ladylike thing to do; it’s for ball-scratching, horny […]
photo by lindsayloveshermac Straight Single Guy (Max): Ok. So there you are. Your girlfriend, who may already be SUPER cranky, has run out of tampons. At this point, I can dig the need to “go to the store” and get a breath of fresh air, but who is stupid enough to tell their girlfriend NO […]
photo by epicbeer Apparently British women don’t drink beer because it’s “too manly” and will make them fat. Ah, feminism. New polls from Pew and Gallup seem to show that the anti-abortion camp is gaining support. Fortunately, the good folks at stat site FiveThirtyEight.com explain the so-called “shift” (for example, in the Bush era, people […]

A weekly roundup of some of our favorite sex- and love-related posts from various blogs and websites: Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake, together again, this time for a little motherlovin’ (video above). Speaking of SNL, Esquire‘s Stephen Marche whines that power-hungry career women like Tina Fey’s Liz Lemon on 30 Rock have sacrificed their sex […]
Footloose came out in 1984. We saw it before we got our periods and even way back then the premise seemed antiquated: Could places where dancing and music were forbidden really still exist, when we live in a such modern world with Walkmans and drum machines? So imagine our surprise at this week’s news story […]
photo by jurvetson We guess it was only a matter of time before Gunther von Hagens — a.k.a. Dr. Death, as the Germans so fondly call him — decided to up the creepiness factor in his traveling Body Worlds exhibit. You know the one — cadavers displayed with their muscles, nerves, and tendons intact thanks […]
Audience member Pamela explains how her partner of three months still introduces her as his “friend.” Em was on the Mike and Juliet Show this week for a segment called “What’s Normal When It Comes to Dating?” Below are the questions and our answers that didn’t make it on the show; after the jump are […]

Our two winners will receive this Tantalising [sic] Lip Butter and that’s not all! The Body Shop and MTV’s awesomely named Staying Alive Foundation recently launched an STD awareness campaign called “Yes to Safe Sex” (we would have called it “Yes to Safer Sex,” but we’re sticklers like that). Since we’re suckers for anything safety-related […]
