Perhaps being connected to everyone at all times isn't everything it's cracked up to be. On one hand, it's fun to know that the person you hate in high school is suffering in a career in Miami's premiere dinner theatre, but on the other, Facebook is apparently cited over and over in divorce cases. » 1/20/15 2:30pm 1/20/15 2:30pm

Tighten your seatbelt, this post is going to be a bumpy ride. In the past few weeks we've discussed ways in which people have gotten back at their exes: Phony presents, double penis removal and naked abandonment in public. This week, we've got something even better. Live updates. » 1/19/15 12:45pm 1/19/15 12:45pm

A surprising number of relationships are the product of "mate poaching", the ethically dubious practice of stealing someone else's partner. Though common, nearly nothing is known about the quality of the ensuing relationships. New research now suggests they suffer both in the short- and long-term. » 10/30/14 12:29pm 10/30/14 12:29pm

Famed cheating website and purveyor of trollish billboards Ashley Madison makes money in a few ways: first, by charging users to access the site. Secondly, by collecting fees from advertisers who wish to reach the site's users. The third? Charging users twenty bucks to delete their profiles. » 8/25/14 5:50pm 8/25/14 5:50pm

Ashley Madison is no stranger to sleaze ball ads and PR moves, but their latest one, while in the same vein, is quite the doozy. The online extramarital matchmaking service just unveiled a new billboard in Chicago starring a beaming Hillary Clinton photoshopped with the signature Ashley Madison finger to her lips.… » 6/28/14 1:07pm 6/28/14 1:07pm

A muscular, middle-aged guy comes home with one of his friends. Together, they approach his hot wife, who happens to be lying on the couch and wearing the shortest dress she owns. She forgot to wear underwear. Again. The husband makes a proposition: Turns out, he's always fantasized about watching her have sex with… » 2/11/14 8:56pm 2/11/14 8:56pm

Classic American love story: Boy meets girl. Boy cheats on girl. Girl discovers infidelity. Girl goes batshit crazy, taking out full page ads in college newspaper and starting whole tumblr about it. Boy grovels. Girl vows continued revenge. Girl turns out to be an invention of a record company promoting a new *bItChEs… » 1/31/14 7:00pm 1/31/14 7:00pm

Ah, August. As we learned through repeat viewings of The Seven Year Itch, it's really the perfect time for the married man to let loose and let his wife do the same, having her run off to that beautiful second home, as he lives it up in the city, spending sweaty nights between the sheets with his much younger sexy… » 8/27/13 12:40pm 8/27/13 12:40pm

Anthony Weiner is a guy who, from the outside at least, is looking more and more like a hapless human whose mind has been completely taken over by an exhibitionist brain slug attached to his crotch. And now that every conceivable Carlos Danger joke has been made, the media's focus has moved on to his long-suffering… » 7/25/13 3:45pm 7/25/13 3:45pm

In the immortal words of Freud, “No mortal can keep a secret. If the lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore.” This is a thought I revisit often; for instance, last week, I ran into a very distant acquaintance at a CVS while purchasing two things: a box of super… » 6/27/13 5:00pm 6/27/13 5:00pm

Our very own wealthy, psuedo-intellectual Brooklyn-brownstone-dwelling polemic feminist (although, who knows, she might rankle at the label of "feminist") Katie Roiphe's latest piece on Slate, primarily addresses this much passed-around NYT article and the nuances of Facebook flirtations. See, KT thinks it's worse… » 2/09/13 5:00pm 2/09/13 5:00pm

Although Kinsey's 60-year-old statistics have since been widely debated—not to mention there was, and will always be, the assumption that the rates are actually slightly higher thanks to the people who won't come clean—he found that men were significantly more likely to cheat than women, and that opinion has remained… » 10/20/12 5:45pm 10/20/12 5:45pm

Remember that cool trick you could do with silly putty by pressing the sticky substance onto newspaper and making your own print? Well, TheCheeky's $550 titanium wedding ring is kind of like that, except terrifying: the band has the words "I'M MARRIED" engraved on the inside, ostensibly so wannabe cheaters will never… » 6/27/12 11:00am 6/27/12 11:00am
