He is kinky, she is not. His experience makes me think you are probably a bit doomed. I asked him as a […]
PhotosByAlyssa.com A few tips, from personal experience: Losing weight can be very difficult, based on your body type, lifestyle, level of dedication to weight loss, and so forth. Building muscle only takes effort (you could look at the industry’s best pre-workouts here) and commitment and maybe supplements. Basically, diets can be a struggle and aren’t […]

photo by tauress We were expecting most of the advice for the “Your Call” post about a guy who doesn’t like it when his girlfriend dances with other guys to focus on jealousy and insecurity issues. But instead you surprised us with some awesome practical advice on taking dance lessons… Why aren’t YOU dancing with […]
photo by SteveMakesNoise In response to last week’s “Your Call,” in which a reader admitted to getting caught — four times! — sending flirty texts to women other than his girlfriend, Slartibartfast had this to say. It’s not that deep, it just made us laugh! (Which we know is kind of mean, considering this repentant […]
photo by comedy_nose We posted an article recently about cohabitation — it contained suggestions on how to avoid the transition from boyfriend-girlfriend to roommates who spoon and fart a lot once you move in. And it set off quite a debate in the comments section about what exactly men vs women (or is it men […]

We know this comment appeared last week, but we are in such hearty agreement that we decided it deserved mentioning this week anyway. Amen, Madamoiselle L! There is NOTHING I HATE as much as the STUPID, PATRIARCHAL, MISOGYNIST bullshit “analogy” “He won’t buy the cow if he can get the milk for free.” Those who […]
photo by Albany Tim We couldn’t believe this crazy story from BCofUIMhere in response to our Wise Guys Post “Can’t Women Ask Men Out?” It made us so thankful that we live in more enlightened times. Which then got us thinking, Do we really? The last time I asked a guy out was probably before […]
Mesha, commenting on “Advice: My New Boyfriend Has a Small Penis…At Least, It’s Small to Me”: No one sees our “flaws” more than ourselves. My advice to men: stop measuring yourselves, big or small — you are a man, and just in being a man are wonderful in yourselves and highly valued by women. Just […]

photo by love janine I make sure to introduce toys early on into a relationship. Basically, if a potential partner isn’t okay with toys then I’m not going to be okay with him. I don’t need toys to have an orgasm, but they can be awfully nice to have around. The orgasms are more intense, […]
photo by (nutmeg) We got a TON of great comments on the “How Long Can a Virgin Make a Guy Wait?” post, from Spes, SS, Madamaoiselle L….it was so hard to choose one! So we picked two: Rhett Butler: Let me recast the question to illuminate it a bit more. While the analogy isn’t perfect, […]
photo by e.esders Just to prove that it’s not only women who fall hard on a first date, get swept up by their libido, and never hear from said date again… I met this beautiful gal on a dating website. We had a second date, had a great time, spent the entire day together. At […]
photo by J. Tann The fact that I can’t seem to form an opinion on this topic troubles me slightly. Is there something (other than the obvious) wrong with me? Am I ‘too nice’ to even have a conviction? Most of my firsthand experiences came at a time when pubic topiary was a rarity so […]
