photo via Flickr Jen, in response to the recent post “5 Reasons to Have Sex with the Lights On” I really don’t know what this whole “sex in the dark” thing is about. The only time I have sex with my boyfriend in the dark is when we’re in a room with other people who are […]

These are actually several emails over the past few months. We exchanged them with the reader who wrote into EMandLO.com about how hating her imperfect body was keeping her from having sex with a smoking hot guy: Butter Body: Hey, Em & Lo!
