Sometimes our everyday lives interfere with our sex lives, leading a romp in the sack to be typed in our smartphone calendars. It’s unromantic and a little dull, but apparently only “79 percent of Canadians report spontaneous sex, versus 86 percent globally,” according to results of a recently released online poll by Eli Lilly. So what ...
So I don’t have bad karma every Thanksgiving I must say I love the spirit of this holiday. The idea is similar to Christmas and Easter in that you get together with family you may have not seen in awhile to catch up, eat and celebrate some time off work. Now that I have pacified ...

Getting dumped sucks. We all know that. We can all imagine (or remember) that sinking, hurt feeling in your chest. But a new study suggests that the pain in your heart is an actual medical condition.

Jo “the next Stieg Larsson” Nesbo certainly possesses the Nordic Crime Fiction gene. The clean lines and neat geography around each character and location makes the calculated violence of The Devil’s Star convincingly stark and grim.

Tired of going on countless bad dates? Then stop leaving your love life up to chance! This is the 21st century after all. We no longer need to actually meet someone to find out if there’s chemistry. All we have to do to find true love is look at our genes. At least, that is ...
Yet another sex myth has been debunked! As it turns out, men are not actually intimidated by vibrators. A study of over 3,000 Americans ages 18 to 60 found that it is only a myth. In fact, the only people who really think that sex toys scare away men are women! Thirty-seven percent of women ...
If someone you just started dating had a history of domestic violence, would you want to know? More importantly, do you have a right to know? Legislation called Clare’s Law or the “right to know” would give women this right. They would be able to go to the police and ask about a partner’s violent ...
Most people have babies, they don’t win them. But some couples need help to have kids and assisted reproductive technology can be costly and, therefore, inaccessible. Recently, an Ottawa radio station gave couples hope with their “Win A Baby!” contest. You may not literally win a baby, but one couple wins a chance at having ...
If you have already seen counsellors and sex therapists galore, it may be time to take the next step in your sexual healing (although I don’t think it’s what Marvin Gaye had in mind). While it’s still a rare undertaking for both genders, having a surrogate sex partner has always been considered male territory. Until ...
