Dear Madame X, My girl is hot but every single time we get into a fight she is all over me. She touches me, kisses up on me and it goes from there. I don’t know a nice way to tell her to stop. I mean when I’m mad I don’t want to be doing ...

Does “teen” plus “texting” always equal “sexting?” Although some parents may think it’s fairly harmless, especially if it means their teen is not actually performing a pas de deux, we must be fully aware of what sexting implies. How much sex is in sexting? We should also reflect on the danger of minors taking and sending ...

I was talking to Mrs Lobster the other day, and she suggested I could write some answers to questions she (and hopefully by extension, other women) would like to ask of men. Possibly wrongly, I thought this was a good idea, and so now I have to answer six questions she thought up (three this ...

You’ve seen it on TV shows, in movies, and you may have heard it from your friends: the story of the emotionally troubled man who desperately wants to tell you his dark secrets and problems but does not know how. He is too afraid of becoming vulnerable. Oh, the angst! This man is a myth. ...

Twitter has never asked users to reveal their gender. The guessing game has always been up to photographs, celebrity status, or flat-out telling signs that one is male or female. So how do you know if there are no clear signs? Well, a team of researchers have put together an algorithm analyzing tweets that reveals ...

You’re laying there on your back waiting, anticipating the dreaded cold metal tongs. Getting your Pap smear is never a fun experience, but it’s essential. Think of it as cervical upkeep. If there’s any type of cancer that health care professionals can detect early, it’s cervical. That is, if you’re getting a test done regularly. ...

Dear Madame X, I told a couple of little white lies to my girlfriend to avoid some fights and now she thinks I can’t be trusted. Specifically, I didn’t tell her about going to a strip joint, or about chatting with a female friend on Facebook who happens to be my ex. I have never ...

A convicted rapist will get no jail time because the judge believes “sex was in the air.” The victim, or woman in heat, apparently confused the rapist by wearing suggestive attire and flirting. I guess she shouldn’t have worn her “No Means Yes” t-shirt and “Rape Me” jeans, because we all know that what a ...

Everyone knows how to fake an orgasm: But did you know there is a good chance Harry’s also faked a few in his time? A new study from the University of Kansas found that while half of sexually active women perform climatus dramaticus, a quarter of all men do too. The most common reason? They wanted ...

We all know that “no means no” when it comes to sex. But research has shown that some men are incapable of understanding subtle cues of women’s interest. Hmm… like we hadn’t figured that one out. Anyway, this finding is not any excuse for aggressive sexual behaviour, but perhaps it might help explain why some men ...
