After you get engaged, it’s easy to become bogged down with planning the wedding, if you choose to have one.

Angry Sex Is Not Hot

Angry Sex Is Not Hot

February 1, 2012 No Comments

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 ...

Teens Text, Rarely Sext

Teens Text, Rarely Sext

December 6, 2011 No Comments

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 ...

What You’ve Always Wanted To Know About Men

November 5, 2011 No Comments

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 ...

How Tweets Reveal Your Gender

July 28, 2011 No Comments

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.

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. ...

March 16, 2011 No Comments

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 ...

Warning: Wanting To Party Is An Invitation For Rape

February 25, 2011 No Comments

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 ...
