Women have the sh*t end of the stick for a lot of things in life. There’s the pay gap, workplace and home inequality, catcalling, domestic violence, a piece by piece dismantling of our sexual reproductive rights by old white dudes, periods, and strapless bras. The devil himself invented strapless bras, y’all. Oh, and then there’s […] More
We all hope that our life will be filled with rainbows and cute puppies and great sex and familial relations based of humility, integrity, and love — but that sh*t’s just too easy. People need to get dumped, feel like they just got kicked when they’re already down, and have people wrong them in order to […] More
Blood is thicker than water, right? Maybe for some families, but for those who harbor dark secrets that lie beneath the shiny and exuberant leaves of the family tree, blood and murder and abuse will haunt present generations and generations to come. You always wondered why your dad never really talked about his eldest brother. […] More
Finding someone to love and who loves you back is the stuff of romance movies where Ryan Gosling is shirtless for most of the time.

Psychologists are there to sit and listen and help us work through our plethora of problems. Daddy issues? Sure thang. Addiction? Yep.

When people start banging each other — the expectation is that you’re both going to orgasm an infinite amount of times, they’ll be attentive to your every need, and your sexual chemistry is great enough to make even Bill Nye’s head turn. Wouldn’t that just be lovely? Unfortunately, it’s pretty easy to be let down or […] More
Sex is a wonderful, magical, gross, hilarious, and delicate tango between two (or three or four or sixteen) people. It’s one of the most natural things to do, aside from eating and sh*tting, and hey — you can even do those things while having sex, too! Hoorah! So when the mood is right, your genitals are […] More

It’s morning. You’re lying in bed with your wife snoozing pleasantly beside you. She wakes and you go in for a loving peck, only to be welcomed by a seething glare and eye-roll that could rival your mother’s whenever you told her that you’d do the dishes once you were done playing video games.
