Definition of a Jump-Off
It’s come to my attention that some people are a bit confused as to what exactly classifies someone as a jump-off. Over the past few days I’ve continually found myself embroiled in conversations with women about this topic. While there may be jump-offish tendencies in the scenarios they described in their arguments, I think to [...]
The Recession Killed Valentine’s Day (Less of a Man)
Last weekend I was leaving swim class when my homegirl Stacy called to check in on me. After a brief exchange I decided to meet up with her and her friend Shanieke in the city. I figured it’d be a good change of scenery being that I’ve kept it pretty local since getting laid off. [...]
A Dirty Bathroom Can Ruin the Mood
My boy Tariq stopped by the crib the other day to check in on me and shoot the breeze. He hadn’t been by since my house warming over a year ago, so of course the place looked different from how he remembered, but I was still taken aback when Tariq said, “Damn, son, you keep [...]

Slippery When Wet (Female Ejaculations)
The other day I decided to have an adult conversation about oral sex on the site and that’s exactly what I got. A bunch of commenters went in offering tips, suggestions and all sorts of freaky ish revolving around the oral arts. (And people say what I write is TMI). It was all good, clean [...]
Dude, Where’s My Towel?
I’ve had some crazy things happen to me before but yesterday took the cake. Some of you may remember that I’ve been taking swimming lessons to get over my hydrophobia. I haven’t talked about it in a minute because things are going pretty good and nothing really interesting had happened until now. Since only myself [...]
R.I.P. Big Pun (Was He Better Than Biggie?)
“I just lost a hundred pounds, I’m tryin’ to live, I ain’t goin’ nowhere, I’m stayin’ alive, baby…” —Big Pun, “It’s So Hard,” 2000 Damn, it’s hard to believe but today marks nine years since Christopher “Big Pun” Rios passed away. As the first solo Latino rap artists to go platinum, Pun has his place [...]
