I’m someone who has had a lot of sex with a lot of different people — “a lot,” of course, being subject to interpretation. I have had several relationships throughout my life, but a fair amount of sex has been with hookups, men that I briefly dated, or FWB. I’ve been lucky enough to have […]
I am a woman 33 years of age who practices safe sex. But it wasn’t always that way. As a woman of 19, 20 and 21, I was in no uncertain terms an idiot where safe sex was concerned. Sometimes I forced a guy to wear a condom, sometimes I didn’t. But that all changed […]
Over the weekend, my boyfriend and I were out with some friends when the topic of preferred pizza toppings came up (as it does in every great conversation). One of the guys at the table admitted he had a penchant for anchovy pizzas, but his motives were less than pure: “I order anchovies on my […]
The general rule of the society is for men to focus on the more younger options when it comes to dating, and more often than not older men tend to go for much younger women. But there is a lot to be said when it comes to dating an older woman, and even younger men […]

I was in high school the first time I saw Noah Baumbach’s 1995 movie Kicking and Screaming. At the time, the fast-paced ’90s movie about a hapless group of recent grads finding their place in the world touched something deep in my soul, mainly due to one line delivered by Chris Eigeman: “I’m nostalgic for conversations I […]
It doesn’t matter whether you got dumped or did the dumping, “ending it” is hard. The really terrible part of it all is that, even if you know the relationship isn’t working, it doesn’t make healing from the breakup any easier. Hey, aren’t feelings fun? Somehow, even when you know the end is nearing, you end up crying, […]
Cheaters never win. Most people can agree that cheating is never acceptable. It’s the ultimate betrayal of someone’s trust, especially when the relationship has lasted for years upon years. But at the same time, it’s interesting to see what goes through someone’s mind when they decide to cheat. And for some people, they’ll go to […]
