If we find love are we doomed to put on weight?
There's a whole lot to keep in mind before you pack up your bags (or he his) and rev up the U-Haul for the big move-in. And to be quite honest, if you're blissfully in love, the blinking orange "You May Gain 20 pounds" warning sign may get lost in your blind spot. As it should. Fat Girls Do Get Men
Or perhaps, if you're particularly enlightened, you've decided a little extra around the hips and middle doesn't matter really all that much.
And of course it doesn't. Until it happens, that is. Sex & The Curvy Girl
Tiger's cheating texts made us wonder: how on earth did we flirt before text messaging?
If you've followed this Tiger Woods scandal (and, it's everywhere, so how could you not?), one helpful tip you've likely gathered is that billionaire celebrity pro-golfers enjoy their raunchy text messages as much—if not more!—than your regular, run-of-the-mill horny dude. Texting Sex Ed
Indeed, it was a string of steamy sexts that in many ways unraveled Tiger's harem of opportunist cocktail waitresses/porn stars and gave us all visual proof of his seedy intentions. Tiger Woods And Rachel Uchitel: Love or Lies?
The New York Times printed a story about the wonderful world of text messages and … Read More
Having children with your cousin—how dangerous is it really?
You know we've made great social strides when the New York Times reports that marrying and having children with your first cousin may not be all that bad, afterall.
The article "Shaking Off The Shame" attempts to dissect and tell the stories of several cousins who fell in love, married and are pleased as punch to share a bed with family. Even typing this enacts some sort of ingrained gag reflex, but as the paper points out, it's hard to discern if aforementioned repulsion is the doing of inaccurate propaganda. Proposal: Polygamy For The Rich
Contrary to popular … Read More
The New York Times seems to think men are getting fatter. Is this cool with women?
It never ceases to amaze us what The New York Times scrapes together and calls "news."
Last week they enlightened us with the astute observation that men have pot bellies. But wait—it gets better. The Times would like us to know that hipster New York men in particular have a certain "roundness" that can't be blamed on one too many PBRs. No, their stomach rolls stem from a rebellion against (catch this) Barack Obama's obnoxious gym habit and washboard abs. 11 Love Lessons From Entourage

Welcome to the dating happy hour where your salary is entry. It's pure romance.
Are you a frustrated fashion girl just aching to meet your finance man in shining Armani? Are you sick and tired of this whole "work" thing and ready just to throw in the resume and become a "tennis mom?" Marriage And Health: Damned If You Do And Don't
If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions than boy do we have the happy hour for you!
The Fashion Meets Finance party—a perfume-drenched page ripped right out of Patrick Bateman's American Psycho—is where designer skirts and suits click-clack their way to midtown and (God willing!) get one … Read More
We think some couples want to upgrade marriages like they do iPhones.
Ross Douthat wrote an interesting Op-Ed piece in the The New York Times titled "The Way We Love Now" which analyzes the state of love, marriage and romantic contentment in 2009. Douthat wonders if we as a society have morphed into a culture of bed-hopping, cheating hearts and sexless, impossibly unsatisfied curmudgeons. Cheating Myths Debunked
Oh, lucky us! Both sound so appetizing!
These two really attractive and glamorous options are epitomized, he says, by the philandering Jon Gosselin, Mark Sanford, and Mel Gibson, versus a more stable (albeit bored) nuclear family of stifled everyday wives … Read More
From full bladders, Ugg boots and leg braces, these fetishes aren't traditionally sexy.
We are what the fetish community would call "vanilla." While huge, huge proponents of sex, we're bereft of any lustful attractions toward inanimate objects, odd costumes, bizarre situations or, say, trees. Jada And Will Still Talking About Sexy Marriage
Not that there's anything wrong with it, mind you—the whole thing is just kind of lost on us.
However, our sexual fetish curiosity was piqued when we read about The Human Carpet last week in The New York Times. Georgio T., an otherwise normal guy, enjoys covering himself in carpet, frequenting bars and lying on … Read More
The New York Times has us rethinking our opposition to arranged marriage.
So, The New York Times (of all publications) is almost swaying us to think arranged marriage isn't that bad.
Sure, at first blush arranged marriage seems arcane. Prehistoric. Completely illogical and an almost cruel and unusual punishment. Afterall, we Westerners are apprehensive to even spend a faux-romantic evening with someone our family chooses for us—let alone a lifetime. Marriage Has It’s Charm, Partly Because Divorce Is So Lousy
Granted, we won't be trying it out anytime soon, but it had us thinking: do we, really, need to marry our soulmate? Or does marriage almost work better when … Read More
Sure, sex isn't everything. But a complete lack of it could spell the end of a marriage.
It's been pounded into our heads for eons that a.) sex shouldn't be the basis of a relationship b.) looks fade and c.) sex naturally slows the longer you're coupled up. (After all, our parents don't have sex. Do they? Do they?) So at first blush a sexless (or mainly sexless) marriage for a couple who've seen each naked for 25 years doesn't seem like too much of a stretch, does it? Libidos diminish and whatnot, right? Marriage Rx: The Silent Treatment
Well, The New York Times ran a Q and A with Georgia State … Read More
Craigslist's smutty section, Casual Encounters, isn't all hot one-nighters.
Everyone and their dog has heard of Casual Encounters. It's only been the punch line to, like, a million and one lonely people jokes for, like, a billion years now, but somehow the Times decided to get their investigative hands drrty and explore the "underbelly" of craigslist.Casual Encounters is exactly as it sounds; a place to find a casual encounter. While garnering more traffic than match.com, eharmony and Yahoo! personals, the smutty section of anonymous sex gained some bad publicity as of late due to two murders that happened pretty close to one another. One man … Read More
