For years, he was the neighborhood hottie, and I was just his little brother's gal pal. Then...
Over Christmas this year, I made a middle school dream come true. No, I didn't finally find that new 15-speed bicycle or belatedly get accepted into all-state band. It was so much better and something to enjoy at any age: I hooked up with my friend's older brother.
Context is crucial here so let me explain. There is a good chance you had a similar guy in your life. For the story's sake, let's call mine Jake Ryan. He's the older, within-your-extended-social-circle-but-for-all-purposes-out-of-your-league individual who helped define your concept of cool and attractiveness. My Jake Ryan is two years older, he lived … Read More
Exes are Broadway neighbors, and possible friends with benefits.
Exes Jude Law and Sienna Miller have been spending time together lately, and sources say the former couple was looking like a lot more than friends last Thursday in a late-night outing. "They came in together and got a table with a few friends around 1 a.m.," a source told the New York Daily News. "At one point, Jude ordered shots for the two of them, and he was egging her on to take one. They were laughing a lot and whispering to each other—it looked like they were genuinely having a good time."
The exes are currently … Read More
I've had crushes on women my entire life, but I've never gotten around to dating one.
When I was leaving for college, my high school friends predicted two things would occur once I fled the nest, away from my WASP-y parents: 1) I'd become a chain smoker to complete my poetry-reading, philosophy-pondering image, and 2) I'd get it on with girls. The Frisky: Documentary Suggests All Women Are Gay
After four years at hippie-dippy NYU, surprisingly, neither of these predictions came true. Alas, while I still have no interest whatsoever in getting lung cancer, I do still have an interest in hooking up with girls. Except these days, I'm pretty much convinced it's never going to happen. … Read More

How to distinguish between having sex and messing around. Definitions vary.
What constitutes sex and what doesn't? Fifteen years after Lewinskygate you'd think we'd all have it figured out, but it seems we don't. Teenagers who haven't had intercourse are having oral sex and calling themselves virgins. Heterosexual couples who are in the early throes of a relationship say they still haven't gone all the way even if they've heavily petted. And average Americans are still writing letters like this one to Savage Love:
My wife and I were recently regaling each other with anecdotes from our past, and she easily had the most interesting story: It seems that when … Read More

Four signs a roll in the hay is worth it before an article of clothing comes off.
One could definitely, definitely make the argument that good sex is so elusive that it's near impossible to spot it walking down the street, approaching at Happy Hour or sharing coffee with you. One Night Stand Dos And Don'ts
We'd agree. What gets one carnally revving is often an annoying and subjective mix of timing, emotional meshing and a pH balance of hormones and dirty talk all swathed together in Egyptian cotton bed sheets.
But this doesn't mean we still can't bounce around ideas in an attempt to save ourselves the agony of an added number without … Read More
Unfaithful women confess why they cheated and, of course, how it made them feel.
According to a new study cited in The New York Times, infidelity is on the rise. The study also concluded that young women are closing the gap on what has largely been thought of as bad behavior for men—apparently, nearly as many women are cheating on their partners and spouses. This did not surprise me in the slightest—a large number of women I know in my age group have cheated on boyfriends. So why do women cheat? What are the circumstances that led to their infidelity? And how did they feel about it in the aftermath? After the jump, 13 … Read More
Captain Kirk boldly goes to The Hills for booty.
A week after taking the helm of J.J. Abrams's Star Trek reboot, Chris Pine was spotted out in L.A. with The Hills' Audrina Patridge. The two met for drinks May 15 at the Red Lion Tavern in Silverlake, California, and In Touch reports that Audrina was seen leaving his apartment May 2.
The pair met at the ShoWest convention in Las Vegas last month. He received the male star of tomorrow award, and Audrina got the convention's ladies' counterpart (yeah, we were surprised too). "Chris was looking at Audrina a lot, and you could tell that he thought she … Read More
