Prior to its dear departure from G/O, Jezebel’s Rich Juzwiak would put out an article every few months that somewhere in it extolled the virtues of going raw (and wrote one remarkable column on that subject alone where he argued condoms were, jawdroppingly, essentially a violation of his natural rights), along with br…

More along the lines that I got distinct THIS IS THE WAY THERE ARE NO EXCUSES feels from this whole thing, rather than “You know? This may vary quite a bit from person to person, so the best advice of all is to figure what your partner needs by figuring those out with her instead of doing techniques the internet…

Since most Jezzies aren’t going to be familiar with how strip club sales and economics work within the US and this piece doesn’t do a particularly good job explaining it, I’m going to try to clarify a few things.

I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s not well known, but the vast majority of US blood banks are non profits that essentially act like for profits (including, I believe the ARC.) Blood banks provide a valuable service, but they’re certainly no moral angels despite their marketing. In fact, in the old days there’s a pretty…

And rates of STIs may get worse, especially with cuts to the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program (to instead promote abstinence only, which research has shown to be ineffective) and Title X funding that supports STI screenings for low-income people.

Unless you’re trying to be really disingenuous, I don’t see the Tom Hardy picture as particularly curious. For those living under a rock, Hardy got hounded by the press in 2015, including your dearly departed sister site, for his potential bisexuality.
