We can’t post them all, so just go read the comments section. Below is […]
photo by Tjook Johnny had this to say in response to the post “Wise Guys: Is There Such a Thing as Harmless Flirtation?” The sexual thrill I get from mutual flirtation is very real. It stirs my sanguine humors, you could say. You could say that this is harmless in itself, but once my sanguine […]
image from nDevilTV Clandestine, commenting on a study that showed women orgasm about 80% as often as men do in close relationships but only 32% as often in first hookups: I’d suggest that a broader explanation [for the orgasm gap] may be that our definition of sex is very intercourse-focused, and we conventionally define sex […]

Thank you for visiting EMandLO.com. We understand that that this website is one of the few places that discusses issues around sex openly and honestly, without too many euphemisms or immature jokes, and no hardcore images. It’s probably the only truly female-friendly site where you can discuss strap-on sex maturely. This would account for the […]
Michelle, in response to news about Michele Bachmann signing The Marriage Vow, a moral policing pledge that required her promise not to support porn, adultery, divorce, or marriage equality: I consider myself more conservative than liberal, in fact I’m a registered Republican. But damnit, Michelle Bachmann makes me want to give my vaigna and voter registration […]

And virtually everything we “know” about how bad IUDs are comes from… the Dalkon Shield. It’s also […]
photo via Flickr Johnny, commenting on “Your Call: Should I Lie to Virgin BF About My Body Count?”: Don’t lie. Also don’t frame it as “self-esteem issues that manifested as blah blah blah…” In my opinion that’s something women do to accomodate their own and their mens’ Madonna/whore complex: chalk it up to some Freudian […]

photo via Flickr We recently highlighted an article by sex educator Charlie Glickman about how, in order to be perceived as “real men,” heterosexual guys have to live in a box of strict and limited gender stereotypes. It sparked a little debate in the comments section: Johnny: This article leaves women out altogether! Female reaction […]
Well, we’re still screwed: it turns out this past Saturday was just an invisible Judgment Day, with the destruction of the world now scheduled for October 21st, 2011, according to zealot Harold Camping. We recently heard from Johnny, a non-Christian who’s been a listener of Camping’s who had some insight into this whackjob’s views (for […]
photo via Flickr When we published the latest installment of “The Virgin Diaries” by Katherine Chen, we suspected she’d take some flak in the comments section, since her position seems so extreme: basically “marriage will never be for me because I could never put someone before myself.” So we were kinda surprised when Jennifer wholeheartedly […]
Steven, commenting on the post “Dating on Craigslist Is a Crap Shoot” CL is Crap. Period. Folks, 99% of what you read in [their] personal sections–including under ‘Platonic’–is spam from dating site affiliates. And here’s the way to spot them: 1) No contractions or contractions without apostrophes, e.g., ‘I am,’ or ‘Im,’ etc. 2) No […]
