Spring is finally here. The snow has (mostly) melted away, and the balmy weather that has taken its place probably has many of you looking for the perfect bare-shouldered prom dress. It’s one of the most exciting decision-making times of your high school career: Will I go with a date, or will I go stag? [...]
You may have heard about the “War on Women,” the seemingly systematic stomping of the right of women to have autonomy over their own bodies. The truth is it’s an election year and since things are improving economically, the GOP has to dip back into its old bag of tricks and grab a wedge issue [...]
We all know you would never order one of those plain brown packages. But, if you were going to you might as well get the crème de la crème, right? Warning: Some images after the jump NSFW!
There are a few things that I’m really good at, like making cocktails, procrastination and talking to kids about sex. The last thing on that list is surprising given that my own mother never talked to me about sex and the only thing she ever said that could be construed as “The Talk” was “Don’t worry [...]
Okay, maybe not everyone, but damn near. I’d like to give you numbers, but every study reports something different, from 95% to 45% . I think the larger number is true. The reason for the disparity in these self-reported numbers? Shame. Let me tell you a secret: it’s okay to masturbate. In fact, it’s better [...]
If you’ve ever had a conversation with someone who is the proud owner of a penis hanging between their legs, you know that men think about sleeping with every single woman they’ve ever met.
My husband and I recently attended a retreat for our church. On marriage. And strangely enough, a “marriage retreat” does not mean a retreat from marriage, but instead a full-force-frontal-attack attempt to master said institution. The big topic this year was Communication. As it was last year. And the year before. And every year, all [...]
I’m a giver. Always have been. I feel if you’ve done something that has baptized you by the fire, then you owe it to others to keep them out of that frying pan. My two oldest children are teens, and I have learned through the iron fist of experience that some Google search terms need [...]
My husband and I had a date night last weekend. It was the third time we’d been out without our infant son, and so naturally we were trying to drink as much as possible before the bill arrived, or we were summoned back home to an inconsolable baby, whichever came first. We were on new [...]
There are just some things that you just don’t do in polite society. You don’t use someone else’s toothbrush without telling them (they’ll figure it out soon enough when the brush is already wet). You don’t carryout a “Dutch oven” in bed (and never during sex). You don’t use the last of somebody’s toilet paper [...]
Valentine’s Day is coming up and for those of you who have a Valentine, there’s only one breakfast that will guarantee you both will be taking a sick day. And by sick day, I mean an *ahem* “sick” day. This basis of recipe comes courtesy of a certain red and white checked cookbook. And, because I’m [...]
