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…
Sydney Leathers wears a lot of hats lately — internet mistress, bikini model, XM radio muse, profesh masturbator — but until now, I bet you didn't realize that she was also a terrible writer.
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…
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…
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 than…
If your boyfriend ranks lower on the "attractiveness scale" than you do, is he more likely to stay faithful? Conventional wisdom says yes. It assumes that less attractive people have fewer opportunities to stray, and that the "less hot" partners in relationship will feel so fortunate to be dating "out of their league" that…
Could you forgive your spouse for having an extramarital affair? When it comes to relationships, it's hard to think of a more perennial question. When I was in college, my friends and I -– most of us children of divorced parents -– would argue with high emotion about whether any committed monogamous relationship could…
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…
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 be …
Do married dads cheat on their wives because they feel "dethroned" by their kids? And is the rate of male infidelity higher among those families that invest the most emotional energy into their children? Though a new report suggests so, the real root of the problem may not be kids, but the entitlement complex of affluent …
Were you looking for a story that involved a $120 million estate, marital infidelity, a prominent fashion designer, a lawsuit, international flights to see the dying, and a deathbed breakup contract? If so, you're in luck. The estate of C.C. Wang, Vera Wang's oil-millionaire dad, has prevailed in a lawsuit with Wang …
Most of us have received a crap email or two in our day. You know the type — the ex who tries to make you feel bad about yourself, the forgotten hookup who's convinced he was the most important person in your life, the date who inelegantly demands a second chance. But these are all garden-variety assholery compared to…
Today in what-the-fuck, an advice columnist explains that while men deserve to be told when their wives are cheating, cuckolded ladies should be kept in the dark. Because they're such bitches.
In a bombshell game changer of an interview set to air tonight, Newt Gingrich's second ex wife Marianne reportedly dishes about the unsavory proclivities of the Presidential candidate before and during their split in the 90's. Among the revelations? Newt asked her for an open relationship so he could go fuck his…
Well, here's the most upsetting new service we've heard about in a long time: a company offers to search your wife or girlfriend's panties for semen, then DNA-test it to see if she's cheating on you. Oh, and you can also use this service on your daughter.
Philandering windbag Newt Gingrich stands a chance at nabbing the Republican Presidential nomination, and in courting the conservative voters he needs to win, he's endorsed a "marriage pledge." Politicians who sign the pledge vow to defend marriage by making sure that marriage is federally defined as between one man and…
In response to allegations that Herman Cain is a philandering gropemaster, his campaign has launched a new Women For Herman Cain section on its website. On it, female supporters of the Georgia businessman are encouraged to share their stories and leave messages of support. And it's hilarious.
With the once overcrowded field full of potential Republican Presidential candidates growing more sparse and morally tarnished by the day, some strategists are worried that women might hesitate to vote for whichever of the remaining jagoffs the GOP nominates. And because women vote in larger numbers than men and they…
A new study purports to answer the burning question of why women fake orgasms: it's to keep a man faithful, of course.
Marriage is hard, says everyone who is married. All that co-dinner eating and Netflix queue consolidating and trying to match someone else's socks and only sleeping with one person forevermore. It's enough to bore a lady to tears! Some women swear that the best way to overcome these terrible doldrums and be happy is to …
A New York attorney is suing two of his exes for posting about him on the website liarscheatersrus.com. We took a look at the website he claims is ruining his career.
Well, it was bound to happen: two online advice columns received — and published — the same letter today. Their different responses provide a window into the columnists' psyches.
A new book of interviews reveals Jackie Kennedy didn't like Martin Luther King, Jr. very much — and his cheating was one of the reasons.
Dan Savage's thoughts
A British survey has found that infidelity is no longer the top cause of divorce among UK couples. Is the shift due to footballers' wives?
The Kennedy family has eight hours of tape made by Jackie just months after JFK's death. To hear some outlets tell it, the tapes include the former First Lady's conspiracy theories about the assassination and tales of her own extramarital affairs. Others say they're not as salacious. We're about to find out.
You can now add your manfriend's sexual dysfunction to the list of Cosmo-approved signed he's cheating on you (along with talking too much or too little, sleeping on his side, and certain breathing patterns). A new study found people who have performance anxiety issues are actually more likely to cheat.
A new study purports to show that women are actually more likely to engage in sexting than men are. But a closer look reveals a different picture of the findings.
Former To Catch A Predator host Chris Hansen has allegedly sent a woman who is not his wife photos of himself nude in a bathrobe, grabbing his genitals. Anthony Weiner will be pleased to know his name has been slapped on all such practices.
Discussions of infidelity tend to freak everybody out. But contrary to popular belief, it is possible to talk about monogamy, non-monogamy, sex, and cheating in a rational way.
