I know you've been eagerly anticipating the court case of Douchebags vs. Hot Chicks. And the hotly contested verdict is in: the Superior Court Of New Jersey (naturally) has ruled in favor of Douchebag. Not really, Gawker gives the full rundown (worth a read). Essentially, Jay Louis created a website (hotchickswithdouchebags.com, not terribly safe for work) chronicling the phenomenon of nice looking ladies attracted to, well, douchebags. You know what we're talking about, right? The guys aren't necessarily ugly (or fugly or butt fugly), but there is something about the way they stand, … Read More

When you hear the word "detox" all sorts of things come to mind: spas, juice fasts, colonics, rehab centers.

In order, I think a comparison to Alan Alda can best be described as "meh" or a naked attempt to fish for … Read More

Two years ago while recovering from the demise of a fifteen-year marriage, I responded to an invitation to join a sex party. Knowing I was newly single and in no rush to get involved in another romantic relationship a woman I worked with unexpectedly told me about her unusual hobby and urged me to attend an event.

It's often said that we learn everything we need to know about life in kindergarten. While that's a pretty bold statement, and one up for debate (I, for one, ate crayons), I believe that I learned everything I need to know about myself as a woman behind the plush pink doors of a Victoria's Secret fitting room.

Researchers from La Trobe University in Australia are seeking to correlate a link between a woman’s self-esteem and body image and her partner’s opinions.
