sexuality
A new book co-written by two psychologists aims to answer this question.
Us ladies tend to get our panties in a twist when we feel used for sex.
Nothing has the ability to boil our blood quicker than a roll in the hay where the only result is a notch on his belt. Yet all that energy spent hating manwhores may seem a bit hypocritical if we were to sit down and examine why we slept with him. A need to get off? One too many glasses of Pinot Grigio? A slight sense of IOU after a pricey meal? To get over somebody else? To feel preeeety? Read More
Struggling to get beyond the lesbian stigma against bisexuals.
One of the first times I went on a date with a girl, she asked me, "Are you bi or gay?"
"Well, I'm still figuring that out," I told her.
Her response was: "I knew you were too good to be true." I then fell all over myself in an effort to explain to her that, although I was unsure about how to define my sexuality, I was definitely into girls, more so than I'm into guys. I am not and have never been bi-curious, bi for attention or bi only when men are around. Since then, I've figured out that I'm … Read More
I spent last weekend in Montreal celebrating my birthday. I love that city,...
I spent last weekend in Montreal celebrating my birthday. I love that city, with its European flair and its appreciation for blatant sexuality. Strip clubs peacefully co-exist next to retail stores like H&M on the main drag, St. Catherine Street, and nobody even thinks it's ironic that the street's named after a saint.
Sex and displays of sexuality are so prevalent that they need two sex shops to satisfy it all. One of the shops is a toy store. It has DVDs, BSDM props, vibrators, dildos, penis pumps, Venus butterfly toys, anal sex toys, and a dizzying array of blow … Read More
Jason Pfeiffer lost his 'soulmate' after a short affair as rumors of MJ's sexuality hit new heights.
Just what goes on at Dr. Richard Klein's office?
That's where Michael Jackson has been thought to have met Debbie Rowe, the woman whom he married and who birthed his two older children Prince and Paris. Dr. Klein's office is also where it's being reported MJ met Jason Pfeiffer, the man who's just come forward to claim that he and Michael had a short but intense love affair.
After they met in the doctor's office, things began casually. OneIndia quotes Pfeiffer as saying, "I guess our first 'date' was in my car. … Read More
Is there really "preference" in sexual preference?
We had a post, partially tongue in cheek*, entitled " My Computer Made Me Gay " some time ago. It got the old noodle churning (as in brain… I mean mind).
The nature of sexual preference has been part of a running debate for a long time (funny that the word "preference" is used). The nature and nurture camps both make pretty strong arguments. That a "gay gene" hasn't been discovered is a feather in the cap of the nurture crowd (though we haven't found a hilarious gene or a dancing gene and some people are naturally funny ballerinas, … Read More
Female bisexuality seems to be more prevalent these days, at least on "The Real World: Cancun."
Watching The Real World: Cancun makes me feel old for multiple reasons.
1. I am five years too old to actually be cast on the show.
2. It's so insanely vapid that I cannot actually watch a full episode, which says a lot considering I can stomach an entire marathon of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
3. Every single girl in the cast seems to be bisexual.
Why does point three make me feel old? Well, I think I just missed the boat on the bisexuality trend. Hear me out. I believe sexuality is a spectrum and where we fall on that spectrum … Read More
Dr. Laura Berman has eyebrow raising views on kids and sex eduction.
It's no secret kids today are having sex (and learning about it) at ridiculously young ages. We're sure every sixth grader out there has a high school level education in oral sex, while we were tittering and passing notes about french kisses at that age. Furthermore, there's no reason to think the sex pendulum won't continue to swing in the explicit direction. As a culture we're just getting sexier.
Rather than resist or caution against this, Oprah Winfrey's resident sex doctor, Dr. Laura Berman, encourages parents to embrace their children's sexuality and even egg it on.
A stoic-faced … Read More
A happily married man explains how an occasional strip club visit helps keep his marriage hot.
During a recent business trip, I found myself shoe-horned into the back of a taxi with colleagues in various stages of inebriation, hurtling through chancy neighborhoods of Baltimore. I was on my Blackberry with my wife, going through the litany of "kids/mail/bills/when are you coming home/this single mother crap is getting old" when the cabbie abruptly stopped at our destination. "Gotta go, hon," I said. "We just pulled up to the strip club." My colleagues turned their heads my way, mouths open.
"You told her you were going here tonight?" one colleague asked.
"My wife would throw my junk on the … Read More
Or, what's so bad about looking slutty online?
There's a question that's been plaguing a lot of people lately, particularly mothers, feminists, accomplished professionals, and roughly half the world's women over the age of thirty. It goes a little something like this: What is it about Facebook that makes tween, teen, and twenty-something girls want to come across to the world as porn stars?More specifically: Is there something inherent in the social networking site – which exploded in popularity primarily due to its photo-sharing capabilities – that makes girls want to look at a camera with the pursed-up lips and half open eyes of a blow-up … Read More
