How A Bikini Wax Saved My Sex Life

I must say that, ever since I took Women’s Studies in college, I’ve been a natural sort of woman. I assumed that men who wanted their partners to wax their pubic area were closet pedophiles. Pubic hair, I reasoned, was what made a woman a woman. Why get rid of it? I now have my […]

Over on Gawker, a commenter wondered what the opposite of an erection is. And that got me wondering, hey, what is the opposite of an erection called?
