Reader M said the following in response to our post “Your Call: Is Getting Him on a Porn Diet Realistic?“ It sounds like the issue here is not about the porn, it’s about you feeling like a “porn substitute.” Part of this is something you need to work out on your own. This may be […]
We feel honored, lucky and humble that some very smart readers and writers choose EMandLO.com as their place to intelligently discuss and debate issues of sexuality and culture. Exhibit A: The comments section of last week’s Comment of the Week, which was a response to the post “Your Call – How Long Can a Virgin Make […]
photo via flickr For the record, when we pick a “Comment of the Week,” it’s not necessarily an indication that we agree with the poster. We’re not that narrow-minded, we swear! Sometimes we pick comments that make an interesting point, or comments we think will start an interesting debate, or comments that present an argument […]

Our long-time and wise-as-all-get-out reader Figleaf said the following in response to our post, “How (and Why) to Have Sex with the Lights On”: I learned how erect penises are “supposed” to look from a very rough sketch in a “sex education” book I stumbled across. My penis didn’t look like that. At all! At […]
This week we received a note that makes all our hard work (for so little money) totally worthwhile: Hi Em and Lo, I just wanted to let you guys know that I recently had the best sex of my life so far, and I believe it was almost entirely because I’ve been reading your advice […]

We had lots of responses from seeing if she could buy testosterone from a legit source to increase his sex drive, suggesting going to counselling, and even some people saying just get someone […]
Sweetness is a woman after our own hearts: Size does matter but it’s all relative, Insert tab A into slot B, what works for one person may not work for another… It’s like she’s transcribing right out of one of our sex manuals! Whether she’s a kindred spirit, a super fan, or a plagiarist, we’re fans […]
Reader Brak Wiend (heh) wrote the following in response to the post “Dear Dr. Joe: Do Some Men Fart When They Ejaculate?” The comment made us laugh and wince at the same time, but mostly it made us want to give this poor guy a hug (except without squeezing too hard, given his tendencies). Seriously, though, […]

Reader Jay Bee said the following in response to our post, “Your Call: Should I Tell Her He’s Cheating on Her?” As someone who may die from the cervical cancer my cheating exhusband gave me from one of his mistresses, you NEED to tell the wife. I highly doubt you are the first person he’s cheated […]

photo by by Adam Bielawski A male reader emailed us the following note in response to our post, “Top 10 Breakup Songs Taylor Swift SHOULD Write.” Oh no! We upset the Swifties! We feel like Michael J. Fox. Except this is worse because we consider ourselves true Swifties at heart. Oh well, in our imagination, Taylor […]

Since early in my life, I have experienced the cruelty of people judging someone based on physique. Mine being more obvious and public than the […]
Reader Michael H. said the following in response to our post, “Your Call: How Can a Woman Enjoy Lots of Sex Without Shame?” This is coming from this male’s perspective, take it as you may… You are absolutely correct that society has a double standard. It should be an obsolete puritanical belief system, however, it […]
