Used goods

I believe it was George W. Bush who so eloquently butchered that age-old adage: “Fool me once, shame on you... Fool me... you can’t get fooled again.” Or can you? This is the question consuming my thoughts as I consider embarking on that risky relationship... Read More »

I have no idea what kind of potpourri of perversion made its way into my mailbox this month. But here’s a taste of what was fit for print. As always, letters have been edited for brevity and to make you people look a bit smarter than you are. I really... Read More »

Are You Being Served?

I’ve nurtured a long and unhealthy obsession with people who serve me, dating everyone from the guy at the pizza parlor to bartenders to coffee-shop employees. Though I’m not necessarily proud to admit what seems like something of a fetish, I know I’m... Read More »

Label Whore

Label Whore

How important are sexual definitions? By the time this column is published, I will be seven months into what many people have affectionately termed a “phase.” What they mean by this unsolicited label is that I’m dating a “straight girl” or, more likely... Read More »

Status symbols

By this point, we’ve all blown our New Year’s resolutions and have reverted to the fat, nicotine-addicted, underachieving losers we were in 2008. Old habits die hard, folks. But I’m holding out hope that we can all band together and resolve to sway the... Read More »

Two Legs, Over Sleazy

Two Legs, Over Sleazy

The joys of morning sex Is there anything better than a hot gale of gnarly breath in the face to get you in the mood? How about smeared day-old makeup, or the stench of last night’s cigarettes and beer? Crusty eyes, anyone? If these appalling images sound... Read More »

Money Talks

In the sack: Letters from readers, November 4, 2008

You guys know the deal with this. You ramble; I bite. Please keep the brilliant correspondence coming. Your column [ on bowel movements in a relationship ] was both funny and engaging. You should be aware that this phobia is a pretty uniquely feminine... Read More »

There Goes The Bride

There Goes The Bride

A matrimonial experiment Metal clamps are fastened on my back and my limbs are contorted like a praying mantis. I fall backward into the arms of a man who gently lays me on the ground in a sea of white. To the average person, this probably sounds like... Read More »

On the couch with a jailhouse lover

She had searched the bars. She had haunted the nightclubs. All the while, a toxic relationship plagued her every move. After years of spiraling downward into debauchery, my longtime friend finally hit rock bottom and wound up in jail. Never did she imagine... Read More »

#2 with your #1

Once upon a time I was falling in love with a woman. And then she pooped. Everyone poops, people protest when I mention my relationship pet peeve. This I know. It was how it was done that disturbed me so much: one stray pellet carelessly left floating... Read More »

In the sack: August 26, 2008

It’s been an interesting few months. I’ve received letters from readers ranging from multi-page diatribes to essays titled “Why Men Don’t Have Friends and Why Women Should Care.” While I’d love to share them all with you, I’ve selected some of the finer... Read More »
