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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
It was almost two years ago when my co-worker, Laura and I were breaking out. We were not breaking out of prison, or the underground club scene, nor were we breaking out like MC Hammer doing the running man in front of a harem of spandex-clad dancers. We were breaking out in acne, presumably a ...
Porn star Alex Torres wanted to do something new and different with his sex career, meshing his two loves of sex and sky diving together. He hoped to get on the Howard Stern show after completing one of the craziest sex acts ever seen. So, he and a receptionist at the sky diving company where ...
Young people in England and Wales are patronized and poorly informed by sex education in schools. Negativity from adults toward teenage sex, along with a lack of basic knowledge about pregnancy and STIs, were flagged up by a recent study commissioned by sexual health and advice service Brook. Young people rely on friends for information, ...
In the UK, you now have to make the embarrassing decision of whether or not to have access to pornography and other less-than-child-friendly sites. If Brits want access to the blocked material, they must ask for it to be removed. It will not only block porn sites, but also pages that promote suicide and eating ...
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 today ...
Contrary to popular belief, women can be sex addicts, too. In fact, up to 12 percent of people seeking treatment for this addiction are women (not to mention the ones who aren’t reported). Surprised? This is something that’s rarely talked about, and rarely taken seriously. “Do sex addicts really exist?” is something I hear quite ...
