So we were catching up on our train-wreck viewing on Tivo last night and saw a bit of Dancing with the Stars (we know, we know, but it’s like sequined crack!). Anyway, one of the contestants is Holly Madison, the den mother of the Barbie-esque triptych that “dated” — and fairly recently broke up with […]
photo by Julio_Enriquez Thanks to the technological marvel that is Twitter, we don’t have to wait until Us Weekly hits the newsstands to find out how John Mayer is taking his most recent breakup with Jennifer Aniston. “This heart didn’t come with instructions,” he Tweeted on Monday.

Plus, you could be setting yourself up for failure — it’s often impossible to get in the right positions for pleasurable penetration, considering the cramped spaces and slippery surfaces. But we do understand that […]
from Who’s Dated Who This is the first in a multi-part series by our contributor Anonymous Bosch, a college student on the west coast who won’t reveal any more details. Well, except these: When I was a toddler, I would toss my plane, train, and automobile models in the trash can with a snarl, then […]
Advice from three of our guy friends. This week they answer the following: If a guy asks me how I think his penis ranks size-wise, and I honestly think it’s a little on the small side or perhaps too skinny, what do you think the best approach is? Straight Married Guy (Fred): I’ll start answering […]
Remember when Ellen DeGeneres wouldn’t talk about her sexuality? When a mere 13 years ago she played straight people in horrible movies? Well, look how times have changed! Yesterday she had her wife, Portia de Rossi, on her talk show for the first time ever. They hugged, they talked about their wedding and about living […]

photo by Just_SallyRye Once you get over the slightly seedy feeling of using a baby product for sex, you’ll realize what an ingenious invention baby wipes are. Use them to wipe off a sex toy immediately after use, or grab one after any kind of back door exploration or money shot. (A note to lazy […]

T-shirt from CafePress Yesterday we covered the top 5 breakup cliches of all time (e.g. “It’s not you, it’s me). Breakup lies are obvious untruths lazily uttered by often well-meaning dumpers.
