Comment of the Week: I Don't Care About Pubic Hair

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 […]

Comment of the Week: To Tattoo, or Not To Tattoo…

photo by madaboutasia I’d agree with everything on this list except #7. For chrissake, don’t get a tattoo that has anything to do with the ex. It’s inevitably the same in a breakup: at first it consumes your world to an extent that makes it seem tattoo-worthy — oh, the pain! But by the time you screw […]

Comment of the Week – Can Married People Have Opposite-Sex Friends?

Let’s clarify that question: Can/should straight married people have opposite-sex friends? Which begs the question, can/should gay married people have same-sex friends? These questions were inspired by the following recent comment: I have found that even though I’ve been married for years, I never spend time alone with my husband’s male friends, even men who […]

Comment of the Week: Women Can't Handle Rejection in Bed

photo by faster_panda_kill_kill Oh, pshaw. Girls often turn down sex for a variety of reasons. Try being a guy and telling a woman it’s not happening tonight. Guys get a bad rap sometimes for being sexually aggressive, pushy, not respecting women’s boundaries… but have you ever seen how a woman gets when she’s denied sex!?!? […]

Confession: Hello Operator, Please Give Me My New Vibe

Cloud 9 from Babeland A contributor friend of ours, who wishes to remain anonymous, has a confession to make: One of the oft-cited benefits of buying a sex toy online is that you don’t have to see or speak to anyone. You don’t have to interact with a real human, period. But what happens when […]

We’ve already answered a bunch of questions (“What’s your favorite sexual aspect to write about?”, “What’s the difference between writing for books/mags and writing for TV?”, “What are your don’t-go-there topics?”), and will be fielding more through the end of […]

Baby Talk: Intimacy Tool or Just Plain Gross?

Lo thinks that baby talk is an expression and facilitator of intimacy, that it encourages pair-bonding and protective instincts in romantic relationships. Which is to say, hating it outright is like hating kittens. Em thinks that baby talk is gross. So we decided to settle this once and for all like grownups — in an iChat […]

Comment of the Week: Dug-Up Dirt Is Inadmissible Evidence

Sometimes our comments of the week are really funny, sometimes they’re extremely informative. This week, we thought this one would be good fodder for debate: Bit of a broad question… it’s like asking “Do men cheat?” Some men do, some men don’t, some women do, some women don’t. I dumped my GF hard and fast for […]

Comment of the Week: The Truth About Sagging Boobs

photo by St_A_Sh I have a Master’s in Lactation Science, so I know what I am talking about when it comes to all things breast: 1) Breastfeeding does not make breasts sag. Pregnancy and genetics cause the lost of elastic tissue, which causes sagging, NOT breastfeeding. If you didn’t nurse your children [i.e. if you […]

Comment of the Week: Fantasizing Is Human. Get Over It.
