Not every Comment of the Week is chosen for its thoughtfulness, insight and eloquence. No, sometimes we get a comment that is so insane and earnest and downright creepy, that we can’t help but highlight it, if for no other reason than its entertainment value. Sure, it might be a joke. Either way, it’ll make […]
JamesS said the following in response to our post “Wise Guys: Why Do Straight Men Have Such a Problem with Male Nudity?” I’m a straight man and I don’t have a problem with male nudity. Provided the context is right, but that applies to female nudity as well. “Women put up with female nudity in […]
Johnny, in response to our post “Do Spoiled Children Grow Up to Be Bad Sex Partners?”: I remember when [my younger cousin] was little, he once knocked a rubber ball into a shallow ditch beside the yard. He let out an aggrieved wail, and his mom ran over saying, “Oh no, what’s the problem?” before […]
Reader Lila wrote the following in response to the recent article “Confession: I’m a BDSM Beginner” on our site: I love this post! That was MY life a few years ago. While I found my kink differently than you, I am still a professional woman with an education and a life. I just needed to […]

Girls run around the playground holding hands and hugging. Boys face a very different environment in […]

photo by robbie_jim A few days ago, we got this comment in response to the Wise Guy piece “Do Men Care What Labia Look Like?” and all its comments: Amy Lee Says: May 19th, 2012 at 4:57 am e Well,I have large labia and I was hoping to get some assurance from all these men that have […]
In an advice column on our site, “I Can Orgasm Easily, What’s Wrong With Me?!” we once made light of the issue of women who climax at the drop of a hat — we told the woman who wrote into us that, basically, she has a gift and should enjoy it. Well, the original post was […]

After reading our passionate anti-cheating stance in response to the advice question “What’s So Wrong with Cheating on My Husband?“, Robert D. […]
In a recent poll on our site, we asked you guys, “Is there a ‘War on Women’?” Admittedly, we didn’t give you the chance to say flat-out not — because that would be flat-out wrong! (Hey, we never said this site was a democracy.) Rather, we were asking what you thought about the terminology “War […]
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 […]
photo via flickr Figleaf does it again this week, dropping his wise words on the topic of sexual fantasies. This was in response to a post titled, “Question of the Week: Do You Fantasize About Other People During Sex?” Pretty much ever since I first heard an “expert” mention sexual fantasies, I’ve heard that it’s […]
We feel privileged and proud to have the most reasonable readers of any sex-related site out there: Well, let’s say for the sake of argument, that [a woman would] prefer [her partner] had a bigger penis. Is that a dealbreaker? Is it worth throwing an otherwise good marriage away over? I would say, continue working […]
photo via flickr Nuance is pretty rare in the national conversation about abortion. The headlines and protests can make it seem like there is no middle ground, no shades of grey. Which is why we found reader Dave‘s comment, in response to the post “Naked News: The Right’s War on Women/Porn/Ethics,” so refreshing. Sure, we […]

photo via flickr James S. said the following in response to the post “Wise Guys: Can’t Women Ask Men Out?” I think that the root of many men responding negatively to women who approach men comes down to two things: sexism and pride. This form of sexism starts at birth in blue being for boys […]
Dave, in response to the recent post “It Shouldn’t Matter WHY You Use Contraception, Damn It“: Here is the argument that feels strongest to me. The US Constitution says that the government cannot force religious beliefs on US citizens. Pretty much all hospitals in the US get 50% or more of their money from the […]
