Online dating is for everyone — heterosexuals, homosexuals, and apparently even married folk, so it’s no surprise that there are dating companies, like Stars in the Sky, that arrange dates for the disabled. What’s more surprising is that the trials and tribulations of disabled daters are now coming straight to British living rooms. Undateables is the new series ...
I re-read Carol Shields when I want to find new layers to a familiar story. The Republic of Love lacks the gravitas of Shields’ more acclaimed novels, but it reinvents a basic love story with subtlety and wit. Familiarity underpins the lives of the interlinked characters, including the city, Winnipeg, which functions as both a ...

Two anti-sex trade laws were ruled unconstitutional Monday by Ontario’s Court of Appeals. Three laws were up for review. The two that were struck down banned brothels and making a living off of prostitution. The law prohibiting sex workers from communicating with clients in public was upheld. The reason these laws were changed is just ...
Sex and the internet, our two great obsessions. Which one would you rather have? A new study surveyed 1,000 people in 20 countries, and the results were surprising. Americans, as it turns out, like sex a whole lot, and wouldn’t give it up even if it meant losing the internet for a year. Only 21 percent of Americans ...
The next thing you know your zumba instructor’s going to say, “Welcome, Class. Let’s start with a warm-up, shake our hips like Shakira, and finish with a series of coregasms.” Hey, it’s not like we’ve never heard of women having orgasms during a vigorous workout before. A good heart-pumping gets the blood flowing and experts have ...
Social media has made everyone think they are a celebrity. They post pictures of their dinner, tell people that they’re going to the dentist, and many other things that their Facebook friends could not care less about. We are all becoming used to the total lack of privacy. But could this share-all trend be taken ...
