Michelle, in response to news about Michele Bachmann signing The Marriage Vow, a moral policing pledge that required her promise not to support porn, adultery, divorce, or marriage equality: I consider myself more conservative than liberal, in fact I’m a registered Republican. But damnit, Michelle Bachmann makes me want to give my vaigna and voter registration […]

And virtually everything we “know” about how bad IUDs are comes from… the Dalkon Shield. It’s also […]
photo via Flickr We recently highlighted an article by sex educator Charlie Glickman about how, in order to be perceived as “real men,” heterosexual guys have to live in a box of strict and limited gender stereotypes. It sparked a little debate in the comments section: Johnny: This article leaves women out altogether! Female reaction […]
Well, we’re still screwed: it turns out this past Saturday was just an invisible Judgment Day, with the destruction of the world now scheduled for October 21st, 2011, according to zealot Harold Camping. We recently heard from Johnny, a non-Christian who’s been a listener of Camping’s who had some insight into this whackjob’s views (for […]
photo via Flickr When we published the latest installment of “The Virgin Diaries” by Katherine Chen, we suspected she’d take some flak in the comments section, since her position seems so extreme: basically “marriage will never be for me because I could never put someone before myself.” So we were kinda surprised when Jennifer wholeheartedly […]

The boy and I both work around 60 hours per week and I really believe the reason busy, exhausted people often avoid sex is because the idea of nuanced, time-consuming […]

Some things are best kept […]
photo by ValtheKid Kateswist comenting on the post “Is Casual Sex Really That Great“: I think there is a lot to be gained from casual sex, with this single requirement; you have to be in total control of your situation. Be picky and choosy. Be upfront with the man saying, “hey this is just sex. […]
photo via Flickr In the comments section of last week’s discussion of female genital cutting in Africa: Anthropology 101: Cant judge this tradition from our western eyes, cultural relativism people! Johnny: Relativism, schmelativism. Cutting off girls’ clits is wrong and the men who do it should likewise have the tips of their dicks cut off […]
From Claire, in response to the post “Wise Guys: Do Men Have Rape Fantasies Too?” I just want to say that I am very very offended by the term “rape fantasy.” The word rape implies something being done to you (completely against your will) that you do not want. It should not be used […]
photo by bixentro Dannie‘s voice of reason emerged this past week in a debate about body fluid etiquette: It’s all about attraction/what you like/don’t like. Nobody is expecting everyone to like things one way or another, and no one is telling anyone they’re wrong for liking what they do. We all just have different types […]
I totally feel your pain. I have never been able to orgasm with my boyfriend of over a year (the only guy I’ve slept with) or on my own. It can be very disheartening. One thing that is especially irritating is the way so much advice is worded. “You know you’ve gotten to the big […]

I looove it when he leaves his socks on: It’s intimate, sweet cute and kinda says: “I want you so bad I can’t really care about my stupid socks!” Yeah, definitely keep your socks on. — matbo, responding […]
photo by TheNaughtyAmerican.com There were so many great responses to the post “Your Call: My Husband and I Can’t Compromise on Porn” that it was hard to pick just one this week. We chose JenH’s comment because we love her creative suggestions for working around the porn issue. Keep the advice and stories coming! I […]
Sioux, responding to the post “Your Call: What Should He Do for Valentine’s Day?”: Step 1: Bake something involved. I’m being serious. Find a recipe for something fancy, delicious, and sweet that you think would suit her taste. Does she like dark chocolate? Make truffles. Cupcakes? Find an interesting recipe and make a go for […]
photo by demi-brooke Relax. You did nothing wrong — wires get crossed in our heads, and things come out that mean nothing… it sounds like that’s what happened. If you’re totally present in your current relationship that’s all that really matters — so tell your boyfriend that, acknowledge your error, apologize, but don’t act like […]
