The semester I went for study abroad, I ended up living in a house with three Swedish models. Every cliche ensues-they are bitchy, they routinely backstab each other, they’re slobs, none of them are very bright. I am not very attractive and I am very academic-nerdy, and the whole semester unrolls like a terrible…

12 years ago I was 1 year out of college and going to a friend from college’s wedding. We were in a sorority together and she was marrying a guy from a fraternity. The reception was full of 21-27 year old current and former sorority and fraternity gals and guys, a Franzia fountain, and several kegs. Decor was folding…

GUYS! Using the constitution is now UNCONSTITUTIONAL and an attack on the constitution.

I was a teenager (young man) at the time it happened. I was today years old when I learned he actually raped her. I just thought she was crazy.

When I was little, my grandma had a stash of dolls and cheap costume jewelry from 40s-60s the in the front room for my sister and me to play with when we were over at her house, so she could chat (drink) with my dad in peace. One of Grandma’s rings looked EXACTLY like Perry’s.

The Kansas attempt at doing away with gay marriage is utterly comical. I quite liked the bill’s sponsors quote:

I am not fond of tattoos. In general, I see no reason to deface the body in this way. (There are exceptions, such as scar concealment and reconstruction surgery.)

Colin Kaepernick is from Wisconsin, so there’s clearly bullshit posturing going on there but whatever.

is it perhaps true that dating just basically sucks, no matter the locations? the reason varies, but the combination of rejection, questionable trust and possible concealed criminality, added to an unhealthy dose of body inadequacies and patently absurd expectations from idealized romantic movies to make a perfect…

I thought that was a weird line too. 

It is never my intention to yuck anyone’s yum, but for me, sensuality has no place in the bedroom.

This is really deserving of a whole article in itself.

Wow. Typical - a man fucks EVERYTHING up for ordinary women by using our reproductive systems against us. I just hate that this service - which was clearly desperately needed - was tanked by an abusive creep.

I first read this at a house where I was babysitting. The homework went undone that evening.
I think those illustrations are pretty great, dated hair and all. Why the hate? You’d have preferred photos? Stick figures?

The drawings are by an old chum of mine, the renowned science fiction illustrator Chris Foss, who is better known for working on Jodorowsky’s Dune project, and for numerous paperback book covers. Chris is a wonderful raconteur and can tell the story better than I can, but apparently Charles Raymond’s German wife had a…

This is the most important part, right here:

“...but the best sex... is lewd; it’s loud, and, most specifically, leaves little to no room for sensuality.”

My brother and I, both teens, in California for the summer to stay with an aunt and uncle in North Hollywood, looked through this page by page in a Beverly Hills bookstore looking every bit like the hayseeds from the Midwest we were.  I’m sorry, fancy people!

And bookstore clerks like me were both happy to see you enjoy it, but fearful we’d find it in the men’s bathroom later.
