Watching Porn During Sex Is A Turn-Off!

Watching Porn During Sex Is A Turn-Off!

June 6, 2012 No Comments

Dear Madame X, My boyfriend needs to look at porn while we have sex. It bothers me because I feel like he isn’t paying any attention to me and is focused on the TV. He usually tries to copy some of the moves, despite the fact that I don’t really like them. I have asked ...

Who Knew There Was Hipster Porn?

Who Knew There Was Hipster Porn?

May 1, 2012 No Comments

I should preface this by saying I didn’t know what the hell a hipster was until 2010, and even then I needed an American friend to explain it to me with pictures and stuff. “That’s just a person wearing clothes and doing things,” is what I said. Wrong. Actual subculture, much maligned yet better than ...

Slapping And Bad Sex

May 1, 2012 No Comments

After the publication of his fourth and most successful novel The Slap, which was turned into a TV miniseries in Australia and kicked off the 2012 Edinburgh International Book Festival, Christos Tsiolkas complained of the poverty of criticism of the sex in his book. I agreed. The novel itself is written in eight parts, telling ...

On Friday, an Ontario news network landed in hot water with some of its customers. CHCH was airing its morning News Now segment when a hardcore porn scene cut in. The clip lasted for about one minute and while some viewers laughed about the incident on Twitter, others were offended. The Hamilton-based broadcaster has since ...

If you’re interested in feminist discussions of pornography, there are a number of must-read texts you should check out and Pamela Paul’s Pornified is one of them. Published in 2005, Paul’s analysis of a society so accustomed to everyday images of softcore pornography and increasingly desensitized to more hardcore offerings, is every bit as relevant ...

I Shaved My Cooch For This?!

I Shaved My Cooch For This?!

December 6, 2011 3 Comments

Having strong European genes has made hair removal one of the biggest challenges in my life. Earning a university degree? Yeah, whatever. It doesn’t compare to the in depth research I’ve done regarding Nair, wax strips, five bladed razors, bleach, shaving creams, and hair removal aftercare. I am still waiting for my tax rebate to ...

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 ...

Dear Madame X, My boyfriend really likes handcuffs, whips and the whole deal. He thinks I’m sexy in leather. He keeps asking me to be rougher in bed, which I don’t really like. He asked me several times to try dying my hair red and even bought me some dye from a pharmacy! I always ...
