But the jukebox is a slam-dunk. These icebreakers might just make for more natural segues into a fully-fledged pick-up. […]
Our contributor, who wishes to remain anonymous, has a confession to make. (Read the first part of this story, which led her to the therapist’s couch, here.) I always thought couples therapy was for older married couples who couldn’t get their shit together but this is just one of the many misconceptions about Napa couples […]
Advice from three of our guy friends. This week they answer the following: Do most straight guys secretly want to have their bums explored by their girlfriends/wives? Like, even if they don’t admit it, and they’d never ask…deep down, are they curious? Straight Single Guy (L.A. Chris): When they’re together, straight guys tend to avoid […]
From the book I’m Glad I’m a Boy! I’m Glad I’m a Girl! The new documentary Outrage, opening this Friday, exposes closeted gay politicians who publicly oppose gay rights. The theory being, why should they get to stay in the closet if they’re actively holding back the gay rights movement in their day job and […]
About a week and a half ago, a reader responded to a post about the charming new term “hyena” being used to describe sexually aggressive teen girls: Have they come up for a term for younger girls who date much older men, or even something besides cradle-robber, for older men who date younger women? I’d […]
Glyde Condoms Being a vegan is hard sometimes: going out to restaurants with friends makes you as high maintenance as Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally; stand-up comedy is usually not a career option; and finding a condom made without animal by-products like milk protein is damn near impossible. Thank goodness for Glyde Condoms, […]

Each week, our dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg tells one lucky reader what their dirty dream means (after the jump). This week, a woman asks Lauri: Last night I dreamed that I was fighting with my ex husband. There was the usual yelling […]
photo by gniliep Evolutionary psychology can be so annoying sometimes. Like when it tries to explain women’s modern-day preference for pink as some left-over instinct from hunter-gatherer days when they needed to be good at gathering berries, completely disregarding the fact that in the early 1900s pink was the color of choice for little boys […]

The Blowguard We recently received a promo email in our inbox with the subject line “Critics Love the Blowguard!” The Blowguard is a “revolutionary” new product “designed by a dentist!” that’s supposed to assist you in giving the best blowjob ever. It’s basically a silicone mouth guard with a little chamber where you can stick […]
Self-love won’t cure swine flu, but that’s pretty much the only shortcoming we can think of: Getting a grip on yourself helps teach you the pattern of your own sexual response: What you like, what you don’t like, and what you hate more than anything else in the whole wide world. Friggin’ your riggin’ helps […]

photo by SYD_Rahim Dear Em & Lo, I am interested in this man and I think he is interested in me. I will call him if I am in his area and ask him to grab a drink with me and my friends. This is usually last minute. The past two times he was busy […]
photo via dutchtl Confidence — as opposed to swollen-headed cockiness — is always sexy, and especially so on a date. You know how guys are always complaining that women ignore the nice guys in favor of bad boys who never call them back? Well, perhaps women aren’t just masochists who want to be walked all […]
a piece at the Sackler Center Our contributor Antonio Reis, a first year at Wesleyan, has a confession to make: There are few things in this world that I find more welcoming than a giant, naked woman sprawled out across a chaise, looking deeply into the eyes of her beholder. And that’s just what will […]
