  • Taking Sexual Stock

    I suck at New Year’s resolutions so this year I’ve decided to scrap them altogether and start a new annual tradition: a sexual inventory. I’m writing about it to convince you to give it a try too!

  • Pride and Privilege

    This weekend in honou­r of World AIDS Day, I posted a picture on Facebook of a sign that said “I am HIV+.”

  • Anti-Climactic Solo

    I’m a 21-year-old female who loves to watch porn. I usually get really turned on and really wet, but my orgasms aren’t very strong. They happen so fast and are nothing compared to the build up and how turned on I was. When I masturbate to only my fantasies or memories, without the porn, my orgasms are much stronger. Why are my orgasms less intense when I’m more turned on and wet?

  • Remember, Remember the Milk of Movember

    I’m a cisgendered gay male and November is upon us, which means guys walking around with their ’70s porn regalia—the moustache—in attempts to gain attention to prostate cancer.

  • Protection Protection

    I keep a condom in my wallet—just in case, you know?

  • Mo Money, Mo Knowledge

    Movember has arrived and men everywhere are ditching their razors and showing off their hairy upper lips for men’s health issues.

  • Schlickin’ the Books

    I got my period while studying for midterms and the cramps with all the stress was just too much. I read that orgasms can help with cramps so out of desperation I went to the library bathroom and gave it a go. It was the weirdest thing I’d ever done, but it felt great and I started doing it every time I study. I feel weird but I know that masturbation is okay, so I don’t know why. Is there a point where it can be bad?

  • Get Tested

    A friend recently complained to me that she had been regularly bleeding between periods. After asking her a few questions, I mentioned that bleeding between periods could be a symptom of Chlamydia.

  • Panting for More

    Do you know about selling used thongs online? Someone told me I could make lots of cash doing it but I was too shocked and embarrassed at the time to ask how… Do a lot of people do this?

    Sex & Pancakes

    Melissa, I recently read that gonorrhea is on the rise and is mainly transmitted through oral sex. The idea to use a condom during oral sex genuinely makes me want throw up, but I don’t want to get a STI either. What should I do?

    Sex & Pancakes

    I’m a 22-year-old woman who was infected with type 2 herpes a few years ago.

  • Dammed If You Do, Damned If You Don’t

    I’m a 22-year-old woman who was infected with type 2 herpes a few years ago.

  • Revealing Your Scars

    I’m a young woman who had infected sweat glands in my groin and armpit area as a teenager, which left faint scars. I have always been incredibly self-conscious about the marks (they resemble chicken pox scars) but I know it isn’t normal and could look weird from a guy’s perspective.

My boyfriend of a year and a half wants to be more adventurous with our sex life (public, broad daylight, etc.) but I am scared of him seeing my scars. Should I explain to him what happened? I want to be wild!

  • Playing With Your Glue Stick

    When I was a teenager, I used to hate masturbating in the shower, despite the fact that it sometimes was the only place I could do it.

    Sex & Pancakes

    I am in a relationship and very happy, I should also mention I am a male. I also have a friend who is a female, and she is also in a happy relationship. We are very good friends and I would love to have no-strings-attached sex with her. Is it wrong for me to bring the topic up with her? We would both maintain our very happy relationships, but just have like a one-time hook-up. —Mission Impossible

  • Total Prolapse of the Butt

    I have a question regarding a most unfortunate incident I recently saw in a pornographic film.
