I’ve been in a relationship for a year and a half and everything is going great between us. We even plan to move in together this summer. The plan is to move into the apartment that my boyfriend’s parents currently live in — it legally belongs to him but his parents pay for all the […]
In the weeks since my breakup, I have tried to be gentle with myself and practice self-care. I’m not always so good at self-care; normally I’m the type of person who says “should” a lot. I should watch this intellectual documentary. I should watch the news instead of a “Jersey Shore” marathon. It’s hard for […]
According to a new study, bathroom behaviors are to blame for triggering the majority of couples’ average of 312 fights a year, with kitchen cleanliness coming in a close second. If you think couples are fighting—most often on Thursdays at 8:00pm for approximately ten minutes—about meaningful stuff like sex, money, parenting, and core values, think […]
This weekend, I got dumped. Facebook friend dumped, that is. And I would not have even noticed that I was short one FB friend had the person not emailed me to explain why he was unfriending me. Justin, as I’ll call him, is an old friend. There wasn’t any ill will between us (I swear!), […]
When I was in college studying in Italy, I got insanely, disgustingly skinny. My host mother fed us very little. I think she requested vegetarian students because she thought vegetarians ate less. Each night, she would stir a tablespoon of canned spaghetti sauce over a 1/2 portion of pasta, cigarette in hand, and when we […]

Over the years our sex life has gotten so much better and I started to have orgasms, but only during foreplay. After so long having […]
A wise man once said, “If you’re going into poop’s house, be prepared to get shit on.” That wise man is porn star and Frisky advice columnist James Deen. And I have a feeling that if he wasn’t so busy puttering around poop’s house on a porn set in Los Angeles right now, he would have some choice […]
We don’t get to choose our mothers. That would make everything so much easier. Or would it? There’s no such thing as a perfect mother. We may wish our mothers were in some way different, but that’s a waste of energy. The truth is, any mother we would have had would’ve left us with a […]
Over the weekend, Anne Hathaway said on “Chelsea Lately” that she and her “Love and Other Drugs” co-star Jake Gyllenhaal didn’t have real sex in the film, despite watching a slew of movies with actors actually doing the deed. “We decided from the get-go that real sex was out,” she said. “We watched some films that do real sex, and that makes […]
