We were once fond of telling people who’ve been dumped to buy a box of red wine and watch some good mindless action movies. But we’ve now got a better idea: buy a box of rose (it is summer, after all) and spend a few hours scrolling through the archives of FAIL Blog. (If you […]
The Other Side of Desire is in bookstores now We’ve read — or at least skimmed — hundreds of books about sex in our ten years in the biz, and our shelves are stacked with tomes on everything from gays in the military to the science of seduction. Some educate us, some make us laugh, […]
penis party tray A weekly roundup of some of our favorite sex- and love-related posts from various blogs and websites: One Glamour reader and her penis-shaped chip-and-dip dish…at the airport.

We will always have a soft spot for Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau for giving us “You’re so money” and “Baby’s all growns up.” And we want to love everything they’ve done ever since. But often, we can’t. Hello, Made? Likewise, we want to love “Couples Retreat” — after all, it sounds right up our […]
This is the first of a series of posts we’ll be doing on the best breakup songs of all time. The below 100 was originally published in our book BUH BYE: The Ultimate Guide to Dumping and Being Dumped (which was called “hilarious and fantastic” by our one Amazon reviewer). Naturally, we like the list, […]
“It happens when nobody is looking” is the tag line for this award-winning Amnesty International PSA about domestic violence.

He tells all in his new memoir, Whatever She Wants: True Confessions of a Male Escort. We had about ten million questions we wanted to ask him, but we limited […]
“Cinder 3” by Dina Goldstein Princesses can’t seem to catch a break these days. People are poo-poo-ing Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog”; they’re criticizing princesses not only for raising passive human dolls, but for turning those kids into spoiled little brats; even guys, who normally don’t pay attention to this stuff, have had enough […]
Okay, we know it’s just one big commercial, but we don’t care: “Zack 16” is a great little piece of movie-making. At the beginning of this 4-part series (which you can watch in one go), Zach wakes up to find his boy parts replaced by girl parts! Sure, it trades in some tired old cliches […]

KRISTEN WIIG & BRIAN PETSOS in “Barry” Funny. (Until the whole little sexual assault thing at the end.)
Sam Apple just came out with his second memoir (after Schlepping Through the Alps) called American Parent.
