I was on the brink of orgasm when Rex decided we needed to talk. As we writhed on a blanket on my living-room floor, my black velvet t-shirt sliding up my torso and my skirt several yards away where Rex had tossed it like a grenade, he lifted his head from between my legs and said, "I have something I have to tell you."

From Nerve: "I started browsing the personal ads, hoping to find something like "Hot, nurturing, extremely patient woman seeks obese, self-loathing virgin who masturbates too much." Instead, I found an ad for the Institute for Sexual Surrogate Therapy." Same diff? More »

Remember that SATC episode with the sex therapist couple who demonstrates together? Yeah. Going to see an intimacy coach is just like that, except you do more than watch. More »

Katie Wudel can't smell — and, she writes, she's neurotic and not "lusty." But are all three really connected? More »

"The Virgin Files" range from sweet to hilarious — the most poignant contribution comes from the woman who lost it to a guy who "holler @ me when I was crying over losing a best friend." [Nerve] More »

Clearly, someone does it: we've all shuddered at the used underpants in thrift stores and thought - who does that? Well, this time, it was Nerve's Meghan Pleticha, who Does It For Science. More »

Despite what drug company ads might tell us, birth control isn't all hot tubs and flirtinis. Actually, a lot of women have really terrible reactions to the myriad forms of no-baby elixir currently on the market, and on Nerve.com, Nicole Ankowski shares her particularly violent reaction to the Ortho-Evra patch. Four years ago Ankowski affixed the patch to her booty, and the 24-hours following turned into a hellish, moody painfest culminating in a puddle of barf on her corduroys while in high speed traffic. This is especially noteworthy because the patch had originally been marketed by Johnson & Johnson as a lower-estrogen birth control option, but as Ankowski notes, they were lying! More »

They say the best things in life are free, but according to Nerve, sex has a very real cost. Nerve editors asked nine people — singletons, married people and non-wed couples alike — how much money they spend in and around getting in and around, from birth control to grooming to dates. The results were traditional in a way that shocked me. Women, even the married ones, tended to spend most of their cash on hair, make-up and clothing in order to make themselves attractive to get laid. Men tended to spend money on women — buying them drinks, meals and event tickets — to get laid. More »

Dating confession of the day, via Nerve: "I would love to tell all the beautiful women I randomly see on the street how they look, but I don't want to come off as a perv." Really depends on what you mean by "how they look," doesn't it? [Nerve.com] More »

Nerve has another edition of its "Dating Advice From..." column, and this time they went to the Miss High Times contestants to answer readers questions. We're not sure if the girls were actually baked when giving their answers (for our stoned advice column, it's a requirement), but it was still really pot-centric: My girlfriend always expects me to pay for our shared pot. How can I put a stop to this? Stop buying with her. Get your own stash and let her know why you did. If she were a real stoner she would have her own stash too, and this never would have happened in the first place. [Nerve] More »

MSNBC has an article about the host of dating sites hooking up the young and hot with the old, crochety and fantastically wealthy. John Fergus, who used to be a "sugar daddy" on a website called SeekingArrangement.com, said that he was scandalized to find the site filled with women he thought were "golddiggers" and not really looking for love. John Fergus needs to get his head out of his ass, because the site advertises itself as "the premier dating website for sugar daddies, mommies and babies." Also: "sugar babies"? Ew! Anyway, today on Nerve, Lisa Carver has an essay about the perils of dating a rich dude, which is not the Louis Vuitton-outfitted panacea that the women on More »
