In my rather chaotic exploration of all things sexy, I have bounced around a lot of topics. However, I recently realized that I have skirted around one of the most central, formative, and important things of all things sexy. Really, I should have just started talking about masturbation from the

Fetishizing the Taboo
Hello Readers! I hope y’all had wonderful, relaxing, and ever so exciting fall breaks. But I have missed you, as I hope you have missed me! I have missed being able to pontificate on whatever sex-related topic I was thinking extra hard about that particular week. This week, I was
Sex for Dessert, Conversation for Breakfast: Hook-up Culture at the 5Cs
The media’s seemingly cyclical concern over an out-of-control hook-up culture among the nation’s undergraduates tends to be misguided (e.g. college students are actually having less sex now than they did 20 years ago) and/or sexist in its subtle reiterations of the ‘slut/player’ dynamic. Nonetheless, I agree with the underlying premise
Sex Column: Dingies, Labia, and Safe Words
Well hello y’all! I’m super excited for my column this week because I get to answer some questions from real live actual readers. These questions are especially awesome because they are not things that I would have thought to write about otherwise. But yes, I do still have opinions on
Sex Column: On Pleasure
Dear readers, I would like to put forward a proposal. I would like to assert that the act of sex—any act of sex—is not synonymous with seeking orgasm. Popular culture, media, and pornography (as they are wont to do) have perpetuated the simple belief that the orgasm is everything to
Sex Column: In Remembrance of Columns Past
I guess one column ago is too soon to do an “In Remembrance of Columns Past,” but I did promise a continuation of last week’s treatise on the less utilitarian aspects of the sex toy. I just wanted to try a snappy name. I said that I would talk about
Sex Column: Playing with Sex
Howdy everyone, and welcome to my second week! I must confess that I am already incredibly infatuated with all of you and need to take a moment to psychically send you love beams, hearts, and kittens through all the airwaves. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get down

_x000D_ Howdy to the specific subsection of the 5Cs_x000D_ that reads The Student Life! I am your new anonymous sex columnist. I begin_x000D_ with a gentle promise: I am not here to goad you into anything. We are here to_x000D_ start slow and easy. No sex positions, acts, or fun
The Morning After
What is the worth of open, honest communication between couples in committed relationships? Not much, said Tender Buttons in last week’s edition of “Tender Buttons Ruins Lives.” A tender reader expressed concern after “stumbling upon” some choice pornographic material on her boyfriend’s computer. “That’s not the stuff we normally do!”
The Porn Letter
Dear Tender Buttons, I know this isn’t exactly new territory or anything… but I found some porn on my boyfriend’s computer. Before you say anything, no, I wasn’t snooping. He did a very poor job of hiding it and well, yeah, I don’t exactly like what I saw. Nothing too
