Sometimes Phillies fans make bad decisions on Craigslist.
Periodically, people say things like, "I would give my left ball if the Red Sox win the World Series," or, "I would totally give you a blow-y if you would give me a massage." Only periodically do we mean these things. Which is a shame because holding people to things they say is one the greatest pants-on pleasures that life has to offer. Which is mildly ironic considering the warm water that a Philadelphia Phillies fan got into over saying something a little inflammatory regarding her love for her team.
Per FoxSports.com, a woman named Susan Finkelstein posted an … Read More
Men dating online don't mind a few extra pounds, but Ashley Dupre thinks you're a hypocrite.
Good news, bad news, non-news time.
First, the good news/bad news. A survey by dating site Date.com stated that 90 percent of women polled felt that men couldn't see past women being a little heavy. But the dudes surveyed overwhelmingly thought bigger can be beautiful—85 percent appreciated a bit of something to grab onto. Roughly 54 percent of the husky-hunters felt that curvier gals were better in bed. Echoing decades of locker room sentiment, 80 percent of the questioned men felt that larger women would be more appreciative of attention and generally less bee-otch-y than their svelte … Read More
Why one mom sets up young girls with rich older men, and believes it can help you find love.
Simone Dadoun-Cohen is an entrepreneur, former exotic dancer, wife, mother of three, and pot-stirrer. Her website, EstablishedMen.com, seems recession-proof, as it counts over 250,000 affluent men and beautiful young women among its members. One of the only "Sugar Daddy" sites with a female at the helm, Established Men was recently profiled on Nightline, which posed the question as to whether Dadoun-Cohen is a thinly veiled pimp of sorts.
Judge for yourself. Fresh from an infomercial shoot for Established Men, Simone Dadoun-Cohen filled us in on matters men and mommyhood.

It's all fun and games until someone gets shot in the chest.
There's nothing wrong with a hot-n-heavy game of dirty cowboy. And according to Deborah Yvette Parker, that's all she and her commonlaw husband, Broderick Craig Crachian, were partaking in when he died of an accidental gunshot wound to the chest. I Wanna Be A Cowboy (& You Can Be My Cowgirl)
Describing her as "extremely distraught," Parker's court-appointed attorney, Murray Newman, explained to the Houston Chronicle that: "She loves him, and this is just a terrible accident. My understanding is she was one hundred percent cooperative with the police and very forthcoming in everything she told them."

In Germany, prostitutes love the Earth. In New Zealand, they love Olympic athletes.
None of you likely saw The Godfather Part III (and proud I am of you), but I'm feeling a little like Michael Corleone right now: "Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in." I thought I could give the hookers-with-a-heart-of-gold beat a rest but, so far, I've had no such luck. These stories are just too good.
First of all, when you need innovation, look to a German. German Johns (Hans, if you will) had too big of a carbon footprint for the likes of some German prostitutes. So, the hookers took matters into their own … Read More
Amsterdam prostitutes deserve credit. And Oklahoma City woman's interesting potato chip barter.
While porn and prostitution, in and of themselves, are only tangentially related to YourTango's mandate to improve love lives and relationships, they do play some role in sex and sexuality. With my A sufficiently C-ed, here's the latest on people who have sex for money:
Per Reuters, Amsterdam-area prostitutes have credit problems. No, they haven't been lending too much credit to clients (I'd imagine that, like Biggie Smalls' 10 Crack Commandments, sex workers have a similar stance on credit—i.e. you don't want to get high on your own supply). While business (the old in-and-out) has been fine and … Read More

Michelle Pfeiffer plays a cougar from another era in this delightful film.
Overall Grade: B
Date Movie Grade: C
Girls' Night Grade: B+
Overview: Although Cheri, like its title character, does not reach the depth it strives for, it nonetheless is an enjoyable picture—for those who like the period piece genre.
Cheri takes place in France during the years leading up to World War I, a period known as the Belle Epoque, when people treasured beauty, wealth and decadence. Michelle Pfeiffer stars as an aging courtesan, Lea de Lonval, who is considered the most beautiful and desirable woman in her trade. A courtesan, explains a male narrator at the beginning of the film, … Read More
An online virginity auction leads to tax problem & going to jail for buying your son a hooker.
For some reason, there has been a ton of virginity talk in the news lately. First, there was that girl (Natalie Dylan) who auctioned her honor to a Nevada brothel to pay for her education. (Why is it that we don't believe strippers when they say the same thing?) Then an Italian model (Rafella Fico) tried pulling the same stunt. Then NBA star Marko Jaric eloped with model Adriana Lima ostensibly to stop getting boxed out and score (like when that nice Nick Lachey decided to purchased the cow marry Jessica Simpson).
Well, the hits keep … Read More
