Sex & Relationships

When I first met my husband, I thought he was a sweet guy who was absolutely not attracted to me at all. As we dated, there were times I thought that the best way to figure him out would be to break out a Ouija board or find myself a psychic. Later…

I was not the kind of expectant parent who said we’re pregnant. No way. I was pregnant. Of course my husband was equal parts responsible for the actual creation of our family, but I felt entitled to claim pregnancy in all its biological glory as…

Astrology fans know that each sign of the Zodiac has its own personality strengths, weaknesses, and quirks. That individuality extends to all areas of life, from work to food to parenting to love. So it's not surprising that astrologers recommend…

Who has two thumbs and loves orgasms? My guess, probably 97 percent of everyone with two thumbs. Orgasms are great, you guys! They're like the ringing of bells and rainbows radiating from your fancy bits! Partnered or on your own, they do so much to…

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are always refreshingly honest with fans about the highs and lows of their marriage. Not to mention, they're usually pretty hilarious while doing it. So when a tabloid recently reached out to the couple to comment on…

Being in a relationship can definitely have its perks. During the beginning, especially, you're both starry-eyed and happy. It's fun texting each other throughout the day, you look forward to the next time you see them, everything is just fine and…

All my mom friends live in other cities. In fact, I met most of them on the internet. Some of them are LGBTQ, and some of them, when they’ve found out I was bi, have asked if being married to a man feels like I’ve “lost a limb.” All of my close…

My husband and I used to love to stay up late, and not just so we could enjoy awesome sex. Night time was our time — time to connect, talk, drink wine, watch movies, play board games, and simply spend one-on-one time together. Since we had our…

By the time you're 40 weeks pregnant, chances are you're both more than ready to meet your baby and starting to feel super impatient with being pregnant. If you're looking for a distraction, or simply looking to soak up the last little bit of alone…

Sex used to be one of the most important aspects of a relationship for me. I was never tired of it, always adventurous, and counted on it as a barometer for my relationships. I was not promiscuous by any means, I didn’t even lose my virginity until…

In astrology, Venus is the planet of beauty, love, luxury, and pleasure: pleasure in romance, marriage, friendship, and even financial relationships. You know that sexy, surge of confidence you get when you look and feel your best? Thank Venus's…

When you're in a relationship, you're naturally curious about all sorts of things about your partner. You want to know about why they are the way that they are and what sorts of goals, dreams, and more they have. You want to know about their family…

It's no secret that becoming a parent is completely life-altering, and the difficult reality is that you don't always know just how different things will be until your child actually arrives (at which point, uh, it's kind of too late to back out).…

Society has a lot of damaging perceptions of women, including the idea that once a woman is a mother she is no longer sexually interested or desirable. This is, of course, complete and utter nonsense, so today I'd like to talk about the hottest…

When you're pregnant, you become hyper aware that your body is not just your own. Every thing — every bite of food or sip of a drink — that enters your body is shared with baby. But what about when something else enters your body? Some people are…

Before you're intimate with someone new for the first time, there might be things that you want to think about doing or not doing. And though there might be fewer things you think about before being intimate with a long-time partner (or, of course,…

There's a lot that frightens me about raising two daughters, and media consumption is at the top of the list. I wonder what movies and shows my kids will watch, and I wonder what problematic lessons about womanhood, sexuality, friendship, or…

I have a confession to make: I'm a hopeless romantic. I adore romantic comedies, I write poetry, and I read romance novels. So when I got engaged I waited for a flash mob, 1,000 yellow daises, and an expensive glass or two of champagne. Instead, my…

Many women will go to great lengths to induce labor when they’re full term. They’ll drink nasty teas, go for strenuous walks, eat weird herbs, and have sex with their partners, even if they don't feel entirely up to it. But what if I told you that…

When you've been pregnant for what feels like forever, you're willing to do just about anything to move things along. Once you've tried all the recipes for labor-inducing eggplant parmesan, walked until you feel like your legs are going to fall off,…
