Are you familiar with Ben Wa balls? These small, weighted balls can be inserted into the vagina to: Tighten the pelvic muscle; Strengthen the bladder; Help a woman achieve a vaginal (G-spot) orgasm; Heighten orgasm; and/or Increase pleasure during clitoral or anal play. A reader recently inquired why she didn't notice a difference after inserting […]
I joke to my students that The 50 Shades Trilogy class is on its last few seconds of fame. Once people began to realize that the class is academic in nature with a rigorous curriculum, media interest in the story understandably died down. WTOP recently posted an article about The 50 Shades Trilogy, after reporter Natalie […]
I’ve never been one to shy away from controversial topics or criticism. It thus seemed appropriate to acknowledge and respond to some comments that have appeared below the USA TODAY College, Daily Beast and Daily Mail UK articles about my upcoming class on The 50 Shades Trilogy. Comment: The class isn't academic in nature because […]
I hadn't heard of 50 Shades of Grey, until my friend mentioned the book to me. "It's really hot," she said. "It's the type of book I would have thought you would have read already…or written!" A few days later, I received a press release from Fun Factory about the trilogy. Apparently, the main characters […]
A reader recently asked me the following question on Formspring: I've been having a problem with strong vaginal odor. STD testing came back negative, but I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

Boston Christian called me from the airport to update me on his dad’s status and say goodbye. I was glad to have seen him that week in August 2010, but his visit also provided me with clarity. Back in 2007, I had wondered if he and I were meant to date again. Now, though, I […]
The weekend prior to my surgery, Mr. Agency and I had planned to get together. It was tough to coordinate our schedules, though, since his work frequently required him to attend late-night meetings and events. Mr. Agency suggested meeting at 10:00pm on Saturday night. I didn’t particularly want to go out that late so I […]
I had just realized that I had been mistakenly texting my high school boyfriend, Boston Christian, all afternoon, instead of the guy that I was currently dating, Improv Boy. Boston Christian had played along in a manner that was mostly funny, a tad embarrassing and rather surprising given the fact that he was married. I […]
I had a little crush on Improv Boy, and it felt good. We were in that blissful early phase of a relationship. I couldn't help but smile when I was with him, and I couldn't stop thinking about him when we were apart. As much as we were seeing each other, I still wanted to […]
