If you’re like me, and get all your sex advice from internet trend pieces, you know that having sex is harder than ever. We’ve been boning for roughly one billion years, and still somehow never knew what the best sex things were until they happened in a popular TV show, or to three friends of an enlightened writer.

Now that I’m in my 40s, I can look back on my sexual history with a better understanding of who I am and what has traditionally worked for me.

If the condom broke, if you missed a pill, if you were assaulted and you’re worried that a baby might result, you may still have time to prevent that pregnancy. You have to act fast (within days), and you have three options: an over-the-counter pill, a prescription pill, or a copper IUD. Any of these, taken in time,…

Remember when it came out that former CIA Director David Petraeus was having that extramarital affair with his biographer? And how Jill Kelley supposedly gave him a handjob under the table at the Four Seasons too? Now, she’s writing a book to clear her name (and her hands):

Welcome to Would U?, an academic forum in which I share my gross crush of the week and ask if you, too, would bang that person.

Here’s a fun video about the dangers of sleeping with non-virgin women because they’re “dumpsters” permanently full of “genes” from previous sex partners. This is a video that a teacher in southern Russia thought would be cool to show his eighth graders, Meduza reports.

When I was younger, if a guy asked how many partners you had, it was assumed that a woman would knock a few numbers off. I remember one guy I’d been dating for a few months asked me about my “body count,” as he called it. I told him I’d had five partners. He raised an eyebrow and said: My dad told me that whatever…

I will keep telling these stories until there are no more stories to be told.

Truth: Some people are hot, some people are not, and male pilots and female physical therapists get the most action on Tinder. The speed-lust app with a penchant for instant aesthetic judgments released the top-most swiped professions for men and women, and the results prove that, when paired with an intriguing photo,…

Last year that the Food and Drug Administration approved a libido pill for women named flibanserin and marketed as Addyi, but the drug has hardly made a meaningful impact on women’s sexual encounters.

When I was about five years old, my parents and I visited my dad’s extended family in Houston. For a family portrait, my distant cousin Jack, a beautiful dark-chocolate stunner with a bright smile, hoisted me on his shoulders for the photo. I remember feeling…something. Looking back, I understand that it was an early…

Quick, dim the lights: A large-scale study of sexual satisfaction and overall happiness in long-term couples found that the happiest couples do two things better than you: fuck and talk (about fucking). They also do lots of different sex moves, including oral, and give each other orgasms. And when these things are…

There are few relationship questions more hotly debated than whether or not you should confess to cheating in a monogamous relationship. The main arguments for fessing up is that honesty is always the best policy, and your partner deserves to choose for themselves whether or not to stay in the relationship.…

Chances are you were told in school that you could get pregnant any time you have sex so don’t have sex. But that’s mostly a lie to get you to keep it in your pants—it’s actually not that easy to make a baby.

Lobsters like their foreplay.

Today, in quick succession, two important facts were revealed unto the world: that Florence Henderson, 81, has multiple “friends with benefits,” and that Ivana Trump, 66, has “about three boyfriends.” These women are getting it left and right, and I am 9/10ths thrilled for them and 1/10th so upset!

Weather experts have predicted that a potentially historic cold snap will make its way across the East Coast and Ohio Valley this weekend, with temperatures plunging to 30 degrees below average. That is a big disappointment, because I was hoping to have some sex on Valentine’s Day and I don’t like being nude if I’m…

Listen, V-Day is right around the corner, and if you don’t have something special planned, I have a few words for you: $250. Non-toxic paint. Canvas. Fucking. Art. Wow!

When my now 18-year-old stepdaughter was four years old, I realized she was extremely mature for her age. Example: once, while we were watching a movie together, a couple retired to the bedroom with a look of come-and-get-it on their faces. It was subtle enough that I didn’t think a four-year-old would think anything…
