Did the Hollywood blockbuster define movie-making in the first decade of the 21st century? We thinks not. Porn did. Seriously, will the ’00s be better remembered for “It’s Complicated” or “1 Night in Paris”? I think we all know the answer to that question, and it does not involve Meryl Streep. Surely, the ’00s were […]
I’m really supportive of sexual experimentation…for other people. I want everyone to have awesome sex, as often as they want, with as many people as they want, doing the things they want. In my own personal life, though? I’m pretty unadventurous (ie, boring). This extends way beyond my sex life too – I haven’t switched […]
The moment that my boyfriend got up to use the restroom, my friend Liz* turned to me and said gravely and in hushed tones, “All right, I need to make this quick before he gets back from the bathroom.” Surprised, I replied, “OK???” She sounded like she’d been desperately holding something in all evening, just […]
Human beings have wild imaginations and insatiable sexual appetites, which means anything that can be fetishized will be fetishized by someone, if not multiple someones, and if there are enough someones fetishizing a thing, then a new genre of porn will be born.

Sixty-two years after basically inventing modern pornography, Playboy’s acting too moral for oral. (I really wish “moral” rhymed with “porn.” This is what you get instead.)

Why do men watch porn? Let’s be honest. Who the hell knows. All I know is that some guys watch it, and we, as women, are left to sit around, scratching our heads, considering their reasoning. Yes, surely, ladies watch porn, too, but I tend to think the male-er sex is a little bit more pornographically-inclined […]
It’s not exactly a secret that celebrities wear enough makeup to suffocate a salamander, and that we all freak out when they’re photographed without. Sans fards! Natural look! A sign of real human being-ness unsullied by airbrush foundation and caulking sealant! But you know who else wears a ton of makeup, and we never give them shit about […]
Giving your gamgam a heart attack The world was a different place 50 years ago. Men would have to don a suit for work while women would have wear heels with their skirt or dress — if they worked at all. Being married was an absolute necessity. Getting it on before marriage? Totally taboo. Luckily, […]
