Girl Talk,
Personal Development Love is the answer, but while you are waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions. ~Woody Allen
There are some very compelling reasons why you should be having sex. A lot of sex. Common sense tells us that the male orgasm directly serves to propagate the species. Although the female orgasm has puzzled [...]

Hooking Up Realities,
Tidbits,
What Guys Want I’m off to visit my daughter, who’s studying abroad, but I’ve scheduled some posts to be published on my mostly normal schedule (M,W,F). I’m taking my laptop, but based on her crummy online connection, I’m not really sure whether I’ll be able to get to the internets. I hope to, because I love doing the [...]

Wouldn’t it be great if you could take one look at someone’s face and know if they were relationship material? It turns out that people are remarkably accurate at predicting just that. A study at Durham University in England showed that Boyfriends look significantly different than Players. Check out this example:
At first I thought these [...]

Em & Lo recently answered a letter from a reader where they coined the term Intimacy Lite. You know what Intimacy Lite is. It’s what you’re getting from your Pretend Boyfriend. Girls find it very confusing [...]

Man whore:
A sexually active, promiscuous, younger man who is well known at most health clinics and may have an STD named after him in his honor.
Would you date a man whore? Me neither.
What if he was willing, even eager, to be exclusive with you? Me neither.
Recently I’ve noticed a real and dramatic shift in the [...]

Hooking Up Realities,
What Guys Want
I propose that straight men try watching gay porn for a change, so they can learn what women want.

Girl Talk,
Tidbits I’m away for a couple of days, but I’m leaving you some toys to play with:
1. Check out Pixcetera’s fascinating look at what magazines do to photos of celebrities. I’ll take Robert Pattinson both Before and After. Love the unibrow, love the crooked nose, love the bed hair. Bite me.
2. Blair Thill, a graduating senior [...]

There’s a new website called Kiss and Dish that looks like fun. It’s a place to share stories, commiserate and get advice if you need it. I learned about it in an article at the Ohio State student online newspaper.
Kristen Ricordati and her business partner Daniel Kiepfer started the site where users can share and [...]
