I read an article in GQ today that got me thinking…with this new epidemic of bedbugs (particularly in the Indiana region), are bedbugs the new STI? I mean, think about it. If you’re going to get some strange from the bar (or the coffee shop, or the library, or online, or wherever people find people… Read More

An awesome blog that I discovered through a friend a while ago (and later met and loved the blogger herself) blogged about my great friend Skinner and the new philosophy that came out of his tragic murder a year ago today. You should check out her blog here, and this particular post about Skinner and… Read More

A colleague of at the Center for Sexual Health Promotion and I recently completed a manuscript looking at the impact that sexual and nonsexual communication have on relationship and sexual satisfaction. I recently presented this research at the Canadian Sex Research Forum. I was on Passion with Dr. Laurie on CJAD the other night to… Read More

Today, The Center for Sexual Health Promotion (where I do my research and am a PhD student) released our huge and highly anticipated special issue in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. The 9 papers published used a Nationally representative sample (the first of its kind in over a decade) allowing us to make generalizations that… Read More

As I mentioned in my last post, I found it difficult with FOX to make my writing more relatable, without disclosing personal details of my own sex life.

My SRBFF (that stands for “sex researcher best friend forever” and you’ll likely hear me use that term often… Read More

I’m on Lemondrop! My first article with them was answering a reader’s question about whether they could get preggers from using the ‘pulling out’ method. Well…I answered, and you can see the post here. I used scientific information to answer the question, and I actually do  know what I’m talking about…haha. Regardless, some people didn’t… Read More

I know, sounds horrible…haha…but no, I love most of their partners as much as them at this point, and very few of them are the vomit-inducing type of… Read More
