Ladies, if you want to feel good about yourself, don’t read women’s magazines.

Though, we suppose if we’re going to be really fair, we should save the word “unscrupulous” for the […]
We’ve been asked before if it’s okay to “reuse” a sex toy that outlasts the relationship it was originally purchased for.

photo by permanently scatterbrained Our contributor Abby Spector, who is double-majoring in English and Feminine/Gender/Sexuality Studies at Wesleyan University, has a confession to make: I consider myself a sexual adventurer. As a bisexual who has posed naked for photographers, enjoys threesomes, and has a collection of vibrators, I think I deserve the label. However, there […]
