It’s not exactly a secret that celebrities wear enough makeup to suffocate a salamander, and that we all freak out when they’re photographed without. Sans fards! Natural look! A sign of real human being-ness unsullied by airbrush foundation and caulking sealant! But you know who else wears a ton of makeup, and we never give them shit about […]
“You didn’t finish, did you?” he asked. “No,” I said. I’ve lied before, but I’m trying to wean myself away from it. Lying only adds a layer of mental unease to any lingering physical dissatisfaction I might be feeling, and assuaging false pride rarely seems like a good deal. The dishonesty (to myself) leaves a […]
According to a new study done at Temple University, about 60 percent of women have faked it at some point. An orgasm that is. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t one of them. I fake it often. The big mystery plaguing scientists is why? Why are women pretending to get off if we’re not? Originally, […]
At the age of three, I already didn’t want to be a girl. I saw from watching my mom what it was like to be a grown-up girl and it didn’t look good. Here are the few memories from childhood that I hadn’t managed to suppress: We came home once to find our apartment ransacked by […]

It is without a doubt that modern technology, the internet to be precise, is playing a key role in propelling quite a number of things into the limelight. Actually, it is not surprising to come across industries, which are using the internet in reshaping how they do business. However, not many industries seem to be […]
A new study published in the journal Sexologies confirms what I’ve long known to be true from personal, uh, research: a woman’s ability to orgasm is highly connected to her ability to focus her thoughts on her body. Researchers from the University of Louvain in Belgium studied 251 women of all ages, mostly heterosexual, who are all sexually active. […]
On Tuesday, one female Reddit user named “oopscest” took to the /r/TwoXChromosomes thread to tell the harrowing story of one heck of a family affair. In a post titled “I found out yesterday that my fiancé and I are related. He’s known for a year,” oopscest (who conceals her identity for obvious reasons), opens up about how she […]
