We're past the wedding phase in our lives but my friends all know that I won't even consider attending a baby shower if I'm not "allowed" to have either champagne or "secretly" bring my flask. Does this make me a bad friend and/or alcoholic? Maybe. But I don't care.

Seriously, give me some freaking booze and perhaps a little crustless sandwich.

The Kimye baby. I've had enough.

Oof. Isn't revealing your baby on your mom's failing talkshow kind of like the crazy rich person equivalent of taking your cousin to prom?

I love Jennifer Lawrence, and I love Nicholas Hoult, thus, I am totally down with them getting married and having 500 babies.

Here's a thing I just thought... Maybe the Fifty Shades movie will actually be better than the book. If you lose Ana's insufferable inner dialogue (and please, FSM no "inner goddess" or the psychiatric headdesk that is the awareness of her subconscious), it might not be terrible? An improvement, at least, yes? It…

Anyone else think Dr. Oz has been practicing that hero face and standing in the shadows of Rockefeller Center waiting for an emergency of enough gravity to deploy it on the masses? It's perfect.

Does it make me a bad person that your thought was also my first thought? Except I think it's important to include the modifier "neon green" for the extra ick factor.

(I know, I know it's a horrific situation and I don't mean to minimize it. But as soon as I saw his photo, I felt I didn't even need to read the article…

He looks like the monstrous product of an Aaron Carter/Fred Durst facemash.

If this was a Hollaback-style project entirely made up of unsolicited pics then there'd be a good conversation to have. But as it is, this whole thing is disgusting. Beyond the obvious violation of the pictured mens' trust and autonomy, there's a whole layer of shaming aimed at women (and gay men on Grindr) who may, …

14? Holy shit.

I am newly re-entering the dating field after having been benched since about 1998. I am terrified. I recently set up an okcupid account, just for giggles to see what it was all about. Within 15 minutes of putting up a non-photo'd profile, I had LITERALLY 30 messages in my inbox. About half of them were straight up,…

It depends on the context in which you made the contact. When I post to Craisglist's Casual Encounters section, I often specifically ask that no one send me a picture of his penis. If I do not, that could be the first thing I receive. Sometimes from a dozen or more guys who think that their dicks have some magical…

I generally have no qualms about "sexting" a significant other, with whom I am in a trusting and honest relationship, and vice versa. I have friends, however, who send nude pics to guys they're just hanging with (dating and sleeping together) and then get mad when they show their friends or others. I don't like to be…

I've never sent a dick pic. I've been asked to MANY TIMES. (I don't know if this is normal)

I don't want that out there, even without my face/name. And you never know who's hands it will end up in. A phone gets stolen, or the NSA finds it, and the next thing you know it's hanging on a wall in Brooklyn.

Thank you for…

I feel like this is the same concept as entrapment with cops, only it's with pictures of dicks. No matter how nasty it seems that they sent those dick pics, those "artists" putting up the pictures of the dick picks are kind of stooping to the same level as the men who were instigated into sending them. It's like…

I think it comes down to who owns the image? The person with the dick or the person receiving the dick.

Since I have been married a long time and my dating period predates these fancy camera phones, I need to ask, at what point in the social media dating ritual process does one receive the dick pic (or boob/vag pic)?

Yeah, I think I would be fine with this if they were unsolicited. But given that that is so hard to prove, better off just not taking people's pics and putting them up in public without their consent. The world is full of men who want people to see their junk, were they all busy or something?!

Bushwick, for when Williamsburg just isn't edgy enough for your trust fund hipster ennui.
