Two months ago, my friend and I were at Founding Farmers when she asked me for some sex advice. Her dilemma: I come home from a long day at work and don't have the energy to pretend that I'm a porn star. I'm tired. I have to take care of dinner, clean the house, feed […]
The growth of social media has expanded the definition of what constitutes cheating and provided new mediums for initiating and maintaining an affair. Internet infidelity, emotional affairs and inappropriate sexting with an ex weren’t an issue before the advent of laptops and smart phones. Navigating a relationship in the age of social media can thus […]
Let’s start the week off with a question from Formspring! Question: My wife does not have an orgasm when I go down on her. She’s told me she likes it, but it only relaxes her. When I was dating, not like I had a line out the door, but I managed to tongue until “O” […]
Let’s tackle a reader’s question from Formspring: So, my partner says she does find me “attractive,” but doesn’t ever really get into the mood. I’m not abnormally hasty or anything. She just says that she doesn’t feel it often, although she’s felt it in the past. I feel…bad about myself. What am I to do? […]

I sent Best Boy the following text: What are your plans tonight? I’d love to see you…and not just for snuggling ;). Best Boy responded in less than a minute: […]
I recently overheard the following conversation at Pleasure Place in Georgetown: Girl [holding her boyfriend's hand and pointing to a vibrator with her other hand]: So…do you think that your sister would like that one? Guy: I don't know. Maybe she'd like the big black one? That's huge!!! [They laugh.] I normally don't interject myself […]
Two friends recently approached me with almost identical questions about what to do when sex is painful: I have endometriosis and having sex hurts. I don't even really like having sex because it's so painful, but I try to do so every now and then. If I don't keep my husband happy, I worry that […]
In response to my posts on reconnecting with your partner, one of my friends suggested the option of "trying a threesome." I think a threesome might not make sense if the ultimate goal is to get closer with your significant other, but I appreciate that there are different strokes for different folks (pun intended). A […]
