Money Talks

Balancing finances in a relationship There is a simple mantra in my relationship lately: “No fighting.” It has nothing to do with the occasional fit of rage or emotional flare-up. It came about to reduce the animated sparring matches that erupt in restaurants... Read More »

In the sack: Letters from readers, November 4, 2008

You guys know the deal with this. You ramble; I bite. Please keep the brilliant correspondence coming. Your column [ on bowel movements in a relationship ] was both funny and engaging. You should be aware that this phobia is a pretty uniquely feminine... Read More »

There Goes The Bride

There Goes The Bride

A matrimonial experiment Metal clamps are fastened on my back and my limbs are contorted like a praying mantis. I fall backward into the arms of a man who gently lays me on the ground in a sea of white. To the average person, this probably sounds like... Read More »

On the couch with a jailhouse lover

She had searched the bars. She had haunted the nightclubs. All the while, a toxic relationship plagued her every move. After years of spiraling downward into debauchery, my longtime friend finally hit rock bottom and wound up in jail. Never did she imagine... Read More »

#2 with your #1

#2 with your #1

Once upon a time I was falling in love with a woman. And then she pooped. Everyone poops, people protest when I mention my relationship pet peeve. This I know. It was how it was done that disturbed me so much: one stray pellet carelessly left floating... Read More »

Puma power

Navigating the urban jungle sometimes means having sex with younger people. Is there anything wrong with that? I lurk in the shadows at seedy bars, stalking my prey with their dewy faces and high cheekbones. I wait for them to grow distracted by their... Read More »

In the sack: August 26, 2008

It’s been an interesting few months. I’ve received letters from readers ranging from multi-page diatribes to essays titled “Why Men Don’t Have Friends and Why Women Should Care.” While I’d love to share them all with you, I’ve selected some of the finer... Read More »

Wed Case

Gay nuptials are a wonderful step forward. So why do they make me a little melancholy? “How old are you again?” my father asks, surveying the black-and-blue arms and legs that I’m proudly showcasing. “Dad, I’m gay!” I remind him. “I’m allowed to live... Read More »

Mirror, mirror on the wall

When it comes to beauty, why must women compete? I have just returned from what is perhaps the sexiest event on the planet: the Cannes Film Festival, otherwise known as 10 days of aesthetic excess that makes Old Hollywood seem new again. It’s a worldwide... Read More »

Disappearing Acts

Why is it so hard for people to have a relationship and a social life? My friend asked for an annoying favor the other day. She wanted to know if I would take out the one other lesbian she knows, because the woman is going through a bad breakup and has... Read More »

In the sack: letters from readers

Lately, I’ve been receiving a lot of emails about things like medical conditions and relationship struggles. I am not a doctor, a therapist, or a “sexpert,” though I could probably use the services of all three. But I will do something rare in this month... Read More »

Friends with no benefits: why do I need my exes to like me?

Friends with no benefits: why do I need my exes to like me?

A few weeks ago, I got a scathing phone call from an ex. My offense this time? I wasn’t around to rub lotion on her back. “You are never there when I need you!” she howled. From lube to Lubriderm in such a short time, with so many feelings crushed along... Read More »

On the couch ... with three straight shooters from the sperm bank

IT'S NOT EVERY evening that I find myself shopping for sperm on the Internet, though I suppose it's somewhat of an occupational hazard. I was amazed to find the process very similar to that of many online dating sites, with its lists of people's... Read More »

Bad vibrations

I AM NOT a promise-maker. But here’s one I intend to keep: never will I attend another sex-toy party as long as blood continues to pump to my pink parts. I don’t care if it’s being thrown by Parker Posey on a Caribbean island and the dress code is string... Read More »
