Today I’m going to fulfill a promise I made quite a while ago, and talk about what a consent culture would look like. A consent culture is one in which the prevailing narrative of sex — in fact, of human interaction — is centered around mutual consent. It is a culture with an abhorrence of forcing anyone […]
My husband and I met and got married all within five months. Kale had been visiting from Australia on a year-long tourist visa when we fell in love. Marrying not only kept us together, but launched us into a lifetime side-by-side. It didn’t really feel like a choice or a decision; it was obvious to […]
She was a Cali girl Since she was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she had a much more relaxed and outgoing childhood and youth than Harry did. He parents separated when she was just six, and Meghan has lived with her mother Doria Ragland since then. Her mom worked as a yoga instructor […]
Like many daydreamers, I often think about time periods other than the one I’m currently living in that I would most likely enjoy.

When I was getting clean and sober in a Twelve Step program many years ago, there was one phrase from the literature that always resonated with me. We addicts have been, the book said, the “architects of our own adversity.” Yes, I thought the first time I read that. It’s time to stop blaming others […]
He liked to talk in bed — a lot, and always dirty — and, as part of his rhetorical repertoire, he liked to tell me about other women he’d been with while he was getting me off. He’d whisper in my ear about how this one went down on him while he told her what […]
The Daily Beast: Do you consider yourself a feminist? Taylor Swift: I don’t really think about things as guys versus girls. I never have. I was raised by parents who brought me up to think if you work as hard as guys, you can go far in life. Are we surprised that Taylor Swift doesn’t […]
