Escaping a dangerous date isn’t easy. Situations can quickly get out of hand, and in some cases, even become violent.

If one of your 2017 resolutions was to dive into the dating pool, then there’s one day in particular you might want to look out for when it comes to love. According to Tinder, the first Sunday of each new year typically sees the highest amount of swiping following an influx of new users on January 1st.

This year, “Dating Sunday” falls on January 8th, so there are only a few days left to put the finishing touches on your spanking new profile — or bring your old one out of retirement.

Anyone on that long-distance relationship grind deserves a standing ovation. Not only are you committing to putting in that extra effort every day, you’re also steeling yourself for months or even years without IRL sex. Of course, sex is not required for a strong and healthy relationship, but if you’re going from 100 to zero in the bedroom department, you’re bound to feel its absence. Luckily, now more than ever, couples can live far away from each other and still have a fulfilling sex life — it just involves getting creative, thi

We’re big fans of starting over every new year, but some things are just unrealistic. If you’re anything like us, those books you promised to read will start to gather dust and the meditation app will be used maybe once. How about trying some New Year’s resolutions you’ll actually want to keep? Sure, they may not make for a good Facebook status (hi, mom!), but the newly-minted 2017 is as good an excuse as any to re-up your sex life and make some resolutions with your partner(s) — or yourself.

At first glance, female masking may seem like a form of cosplay or crossdressing, since the fetish involves donning latex masks of women’s faces and assuming female alter egos. But according to photographer Corinna Kern, who shot a photo series on female maskers last year, it’s far more complicated than that.

To start, unlike many people who engage in cosplay or crossdressing, female maskers don’t tend to

No matter how many dozens of Netflix-and-chill nights you and your long-term partner have had together, there’s something that keeps you tuning in for more. But just as individuals age and change over time, the same goes for your sex life: What turned you on when you first made it Facebook official might not be the same for you now.

Experts say that the key to a happy, fulfilling sex life with a long-term S.O. is changing things up and making your own new sex “rules” as you go along. But of course, these “rules” aren’t hard and fast, and they don’t stay stagnant; they grow and change with your relationshi

My last “serious” relationship ended roughly two years and seven months ago, and I’ve been single ever since. In that amount of time, four of my cousins have gotten engaged, two of them have gotten married, and one of them has had a baby. I, on the other hand, moved into my own apartment, got my dream job, and carried on a six-month affair with a guy whom I’d never call my boyfriend, but who would order Ubers to my place on the Upper East Side of Manhattan at 11 p.m. so that I’d make the late-night trek to his apartment in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.

Amsterdam’s sex industry can be divisive; for tourists, the flagrancy with which the city’s brothels line the streets give the place a sense of either allure or seediness. You might walk past a worker in one of the Red Light District’s glowing red windows and think: “What a liberal place that they can do their work in the open like this!” Or you might – arguably more likely – think they look a little bored.

It turns out that the sex industry in Amsterdam can be equally as divisive for its workers. Just like any other job, there are the good days and the bad days, and the mundane ones in between. According to Hella and

Sure, our horoscopes are interesting to read, but do our signs really reflect our specific habits and proclivities? That may be nearly impossible to tell — perhaps because there isn’t actually any science behind any of this — but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun to try. In fact, one infidelity app found a few interesting links between horoscopes and cheating patterns.

In the years that Londa Schiebinger has been teaching a class on sexuality at Stanford, she has noted that “most” of her male students “can tell you the length and diameter of their penis, both flaccid and erect.” Meanwhile, her female students tend to have “no idea” how big their clitoris is, nor of the variation in size of the clitoris among women. When the magazine Science published an article titled “How Big Is the Average Penis?” in 2015, it remained among the most popular articles on their website for months.
