Hooking Up Realities
Today I’ve got some links that are going to scare the pants right back onto you. I’ve written before about cameras and sex, which, let’s face it, can be a total turn on. Pics of yourself and your lover naked can be a very effective way to build anticipation, whether you’re in a long-distance relationship, [...]

Joey: Come on, Ross; you’re mayor of the Zone!”
Friends
I’m one of those cynics who thinks it is really, really difficult for guys and girls to maintain platonic friendships. I think it works best when:

Personal Development
Yesterday after posting Are You Dating a Narcissist? I still felt curious about the topic and was thinking of other potential posts related to narcissism. (One is the possible correlation between narcissism and penis size. I’ll let you know if I turn up anything interesting!)

One of the reasons that young people prefer to hook up casually is that they are hesitant to get emotionally invested in a relationship with an expiration date on it. The school year ends, people study abroad, job offers come from different cities, as do acceptances to graduate school. Most people can expect to be [...]

Hooking Up Realities,
What Guys Want

I love making lists. I even make lists of my lists. I have lists of list-making software, and I write on my To Do list that I need to learn how to work all my online To Do lists. It’s a little neurotic, I know. I have a touch of OCD – in a good [...]
