Cosmo Aims To Sweep Her Off Her Feet With Bad Sex Advice

At Motherhood Metamorphosis, Deanna writes, “You Know Sex Ed Is Really Bad When… Cosmo can’t even get it right. In their instructions for Sex Position of the Day: Sensual Shower, their diagram for how to achieve erotic thrills literally misses the mark — the genitals don’t even line up.”
And then she proves the point, by [...]

Two Tickets To Erotica Novella-Land, Maxim Style

In a real shocker, Maxim publishes obvious sex information with girl-on-girl photos. (Just ‘cuz hubby got shafted with a Maxim replacement subscription when Stuff folded, does he have to keep re-subscribing? Maxim ain’t no Stuff; Stuff was Stuff. ‘Nuff said?)
Anyway, the article is all about how people have more sex (including kinkier sex) on [...]

Jon Replaces His 8 Plus?

Rumor has it that Jon (of Jon and Kate + may be doing a “reality show” dating the Octomom. I heard it on some TV show or other, but Christine Navratil’s talking about it too.
What I don’t get is how they could even hope to apply the word “reality” to such a show. [...]

Boo-Hoo, Poor Wife-Beater Complains

I was going to write a rabid response to this bozo who wrote into “Since You Asked” at Salon, whining that it’s unfair that he should have to worry about his current girlfriend’s response to discovering that he — on more than one occasion — abused his former wife:

The “fun” application is called “before you score” — and yes, with “score” means what you think it does: getting laid. As in [...]

And Another Thing… Are You The Shallow Person You Refuse To Date?

America, your apathy offends me.
Based on trending Twitter topics, popular blog stories, and popular keyword action, you are more concerned with the rude comments made by Kanye West and Taylor Swift’s hurt feelings than you are with the institutionalized victim blaming and other crimes of health care. What are the acts of one classless man [...]

How Rude!

An “Emmy Award Winning Talk Show” has placed the following casting call: I May Break-up With You…Because You’re TOO Rude!
Is it just me, or is the person who responds to this equally — if not more — rude as the person they are complaining about?
Even if the casting call insists, “Don’t write in unless both [...]

Divorce From Too Much Affection?

Published in the July 31, 1950 issue of Quick magazine, Mrs. Le Roy Nichols of Paterson, N.J., sued her husband for divorce based on “cruelty” — because “he sat her on his lap and kissed her too much, kept her from doing the housework.”

Feminism On A Friday

Some quick responses to what I’ve been reading this week…
