For so many of my single friends, Tinder has become a necessary evil. Yes, it’s full of complete assholes begging for nudes from the get-go, but you know, a girl will still hold out for the right person amid a slushpile of grunted boob requests. Since I’ve been in a serious relationship with my boyfriend […]

…and how a zine about it changed my life In regards to our sexual histories, the initial confrontation and honest reflection may be emotional; it may tear at our strings of shame, bring our fears boiling to the top, but I’m an advocate for feeling those raw, first clenching emotions over the flat line reservation […]

What I really want is for you to not read this. I want you to see the headline, infer that this is a slice of my opinion on other people’s opinions about sexuality and think ‘fuck, I don’t give a shit about who’s gay, who’s straight and any other LGBT label,’ and then breezily click […]

It was summer break, and my husband and I were going to Hawaii for the holiday. It was at one of those resorts with the all-inclusive-never-ending-mimosa package, and we had both had one hell of a year. Yippee! It was finally the day we were to catch our flight, so of course, I had the […]

I’m fairly certain that most of us have been coming across articles teaching us ‘How To Give a Blow Job’ since we were about twelve (hello, every issue of Cosmo ever). Through the medium of the hallowed sex tip, the female gender has been all but programmed into instinctively knowing how much or how little to […]

About a week ago I found myself in Sainsbury’s. Whilst perusing the aisles for my dinner, I had the awful realisation that I was shit broke, and would have to make a fateful decision on this seemingly quiet Tuesday night: dinner or tampons. This may sound a tad dramatic, but I had £1 and it […]
