Is it the 21st century? Is a woman about to become President of the United States? Do all the best crime dramas feature women in the lead roles (Marcella, Happy Valley, The Fall, The [Swedish] Bridge, The Bletchley Circle…the list goes on)? Yes, women still don’t make the same as men yet — yet — but we’ve come […]
Twitter blew up this weekend after Donald Trump responded to the charge made by Khizr Khan, the Muslim American father of a fallen soldier, that the billionaire (millionaire?) has “sacrificed nothing and no one.” In response to Khan’s standout speech at the Democratic National Convention last week, Drumpf told ABC News: I think I’ve made […]
Rings worn around the penis for sexual enhancement were once the sole domain of hardcore kinksters donned in studded black. The rings were either leather or, more dangerously, metal, and had a vibe that was decidedly UN-lovey-dovey. We’ve come a long way, baby! The democratization of sexual accessories means not only higher quality and more variety, […]
by Rebecca Jane Stokes for YourTango We spend a lot of time despairing over our boobs. Either we have too much boob to deal with, or not enough. They are sweaty, not fitting into tops, need stupid bras, ugh, what a hassle! Very often we don’t give our boobs the same TLC we give the rest […]
The clitoris is the only organ in the human body (either male or female) whose sole purpose is to transmit sexual sensation. It goes much deeper than you’d think (kind of like a Barbara Walters special): It’s actually a complex organ that extends throughout a woman’s genitals, and is therefore sometimes referred to as […]
1. Beware of perfect morning hair. You can’t have uninhibited sex if you’re worried about messing up your hair (Robby). A aerosol-sprayed, rock-solid coif in the early A.M. after a night of supposed boot-knocking betrays a depth of vanity that rivals Donald Drumpf’s. Intimacy includes being and looking vulnerable: messy hair, no makeup, the […]

by Ossiana Tepfenhart for YourTango It’s hard to imagine a happy relationship between romantic partners without sex involved. If you look at just about romantic comedy out there, there’s going to be a certain level of sexual tension involved. There’s that beautiful spark that seems to ignite between both characters in these kinds of movies, and […]
by By Carla McKirdy for Bust Magazine If you’ve ever wondered what life in America would be like if the laws protecting a woman’s right to choose were reversed, look no further than Argentina. Underground abortion clinics whose addresses are revealed only in hushed tones via word of mouth. The paralyzing fear of undergoing what […]
1. It’s alright to cry. Guys, emotions are your friends. Did you learn nothing from Rosey Grier singing on “Free to Be You and Me”? Or from Dolly Parton in “Steel Magnolias” when she said “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion”? Okay, first you have to actually get through “Steel Magnolias” without killing […]

Lord Alfred Douglas, known affectionately as “Bosie,” was the infamous young lover of Oscar Wilde (think Jude Law and Stephen Fry in 1997’s “Wilde”) — infamous not only because of his late-19th-century indiscretion, but because of his Veruca-Salt tendencies (“I want it now, Daddy!”). Two of his poems were brought up in Wilde’s “gross indecency” […]
