Melissa Gravel's avatara catalog of online dating

I am unimpressed with myself while I write this blog, but since I am documenting my online-dating journey, I wanted to be transparent throughout the entire process.

A couple weeks ago I had a conversation with a friend about idea of becoming friends-with-benefits. This wasn’t a new conversation, the topic actually came up two years ago in a similar forum, in which I responded by vomiting (quite literally). I left his house in the middle of the night and threw up into a plastic grocery bag I found in my car. Through my early adulthood and into my twenties I treated my body almost as if it was sacred. I didn’t fuck around on the first date, I wasn’t taking my clothes off for someone I wasn’t in love with, I had standards and a mindset that sex was to be held for someone special.

Over the pastcouple years my…

Acrobatic Sex Positions

The Helicopter

I have almost no words for this sex position, which is—hands-down—the strangest one I’ve ever seen. As the receiving partner gets gown on hands and knees, the penetrating partner hovers atop, penetrating them from a hybrid plank/handstand position. It’s unclear to me whether the partners stay static and simply thrust from this position, or whether they swivel their bodies to mimic the movement of a helicopter. Either way, the position is equal parts bonkers and intriguing—and it’s sure to have you breaking a sweat.

My sex drive is normal and so is yours

If you had told me when I started this blog that I would end up writing about my sex life, would I have believed you? Actually, yes!

Believe it or not, I started a blog back in uni under a pseudo name, Annie – after my middle name, which is Ann. The idea actually came from 90210 when Annie starts a sex blog under the name Annabel. And so I decided I would do something similar, writing very frankly about my sex life. Nonetheless this never came to fruition, as a 21 year old who had very little sexual experience and found the whole thing rather awkward to discuss (and still do) – the dream didn’t last long.

So why now?

So, I’m now 25 and engaged and feel slightly more confident and comfortable in this area. But honestly I just think something need to be said on this topic.

Being Ready: Confessions of a 20-year-old Virgin

RAZZ Mag's avatarRAZZ

I’ve found that being a virgin at 20 seems to warrant three types of general reactions:

  1. The nurse with wide eyes in the Sidwell Sexual Health Clinic congratulating me wildly, whilst I sat awkwardly waiting for her to give me my first pack of contraceptive pills.
  2. The immediate labelling of me as “frigid” or a “prude”, words to this day that I really fucking hate.
  3. Slight embarrassment/awkwardness, like the way people looked at me during my first game of ‘Never Have I Ever’ in Freshers’ Week, when I was the only one that didn’t drink to ‘never have I ever had sex.’

Throughout my teenage years, social prowess was defined by how many people you’d slept with, how far you’d gone, and at what age you lost your virginity. Even now, although it seems that nobody is bothered if you’re a virgin or not anymore, I find myself on automatic…

Sex in New York City Parks?

In a wild, overrun corner of Fort Tryon Park, a secluded area had become a popular destination for those seeking clandestine, casual sex.

The spot became so notorious that it also drew attention from the police: In some years, officers patrolling the park, in Upper Manhattan, would issue public-sex summonses about once a week.

But last year, not a single public-sex summons was handed out.

A similar pattern holds true across New York City. Officers wrote 432 tickets in 2007 for what is referred to as “sex in park,” according to Police Department data. Last year, through late December, they wrote six.

Not only are summonses down, but fewer New Yorkers are calling 311 to lodge complaints about lewd acts in public. In 2013, there were 483 complaints of lewd acts; last year, there were 283, according to the city.

The decline has been so precipitous that it raises obvious questions: Are the police telling frisky parkgoers simply to move along, or have New Yorkers lost some of their lust? Is it the Police Department that has changed, or is it us?

toniasmith897's avatarDude, Where's My Pancreas?

My husband and I have a good relationship. We communicate well, we enjoy each other’s company and we have fun together.  We also put up with each other’s crap. Or, rather, he puts up with my crap and I truly appreciate the fact that he is willing to do that. In return, I always like to think he puts up with my ridiculousness because a) I make him laugh and b) because we have a lot of sex. He got the girl who was still a little nuts but who wanted to raise kids and go to sleep by 9 pm so the nuttiness could begin with 4 am runs instead. Woo Hoo. He’s a lucky guy.

In any event, every woman should bring an air of mystery to the bedroom….So the other night when P was at volleyball practice, Steve came home for a little ‘date’. As things were…

Netflix & Chill | How it can help your marriage!

Netflix and chill, well it’s been sung around the world for a while, we all know what it means. It means your gonna put on a movie and get some lovin. For some, this may not be romantic enough. Well let me tell you as a person who has been married 10 years in a strong and healthy relationship, romance for every occasion is for fairy tales. When you have been with a person for a decade or longer sex isn’t always easy to get to do. Planning dates every week is not a realistic idea for people who, like me, live paycheck to paycheck.
