Laura is a freelance writer for TFLN. She likes to write about what she knows best — dating, sex, and being awkward, but usually in the opposite order. She is the Assistant Editor and videographer for Peach Fuzz, a sex-positive nudie magazine in ATX.
When you’re a young child, it’s easy to look at every single person the same. Society and the grossly inequitable standards that it holds hasn’t dug its nasty talons into you quite yet. You only understand your body, mind, and conventions at face value. But then we start to grow up — then we start realizing the […] More
Dating is f*cking hard, y’all. Maybe you’re bored and looking for some company. Maybe you legitimately want to form a real and honest human connection with another wandering soul on this floating rock of existential terror. Or maybe you just want to rub your junk against another person’s junk and dating is the way to […] More
Insecurity comes in many forms — you might cling relentlessly to the person you’re dating, put others down to make you feel better about yourself, or continuously brag on Facebook about your perfect job, boyfriend, sex life, car, workout routine, and friends. The jigs up, though; we can see right through your overconfident (and annoying) theatrics. […] More
You’re feeling frisky; you grab your laptop and head to your favorite porn site. You grab the Jergens, tissues, and set the mood to spank your junk. You’re perusing some MILF fetish sites when all of a sudden, you see Mrs. Swanson, your 10th grade biology teacher, getting rammed by a dude half her age […] More
In high school, your hormones are raging, it seems like the entire world is against you, and you never quite know what life is going to throw your way. You have to worry about grades, parents, social circles, sex, and whether or not your crush even notices you. Teens have it tough. But what happens when […] More
While in the spotlight, celebrities are monitored under a severely tiny social microscope. Who are they dating? Who are they f*cking on the side? What are their deepest and darkest secrets? What are they doing behind closed doors? Of course, the rumor mill must be taken with a grain (or shaker) of salt, but what […] More
Your significant other is supposed to be the one you confide your hopes, fears, dreams, annoyances, and secrets to. They should respect you enough to let you peak inside their psyche, even if that means some tough questions and difficult conversations. The worst thing is finding out about a secret they’ve been keeping from you. […] More
When you’re trying to get it in, the horniness sometimes takes over and you end up doing some pretty pathetic or ruthless sh*t. Humans can be douchey bunch, that’s for sure. Maybe you told a little white lie to get your D wet, or maybe you f*cked your ex-boyfriend’s best friend out of revenge. Either way, […] More
Sexual desire is a very strange thing. Sure, boobs and boners and bums are par for the horny course, but sometimes we can’t help but feel weirdly turned on by the most peculiar of things. Shouts out to the dude who got a hard on from using a hand-powered egg beater. Breakfast is served, b*tches. […] More
Having great friends is f*cking awesome. They drink rosé with you, they make you laugh, and they offer a shoulder to lean on when you’re feeling blue. You would do anything to help them, and vice versa. I mean, who else is going to jump out of bed in the middle of the night when you […] More
When you’re young, you think that all adults are there to help and nurture and teach you. But as you get older, you realize that adults can be very, very wrong — even your teachers. That teacher from 3rd grade, who you thought was just doing their job, who stood in the bathroom and watched you […] More
Being a teen is awkward and funny and wonderful and embarrassing and oh my god I’m so glad I’m not 16 anymore. The acne, the longing at crushes from afar, the jilted chip on your shoulder because EVERYONE is obviously against you, and apathy like no one’s business. Teens can be some emo folk, but […] More
