Have Your Wet Dreams Come True? (Teenage Love Affair)

I had a dream the other night. Well, let’s call it a fantasy. Her name was Layla. She’s this Puerto Rican girl that’s been flooding my thoughts from time to time. She’s got grey eyes, sexy curves—a nice round backside with breasts to match—and curly black hair that flows down her back. She’s a “good [...]

Do You Have Faith in Mankind? (Haiti Needs Your Help)

I didn’t plan on writing about the earthquake that hit Haiti. It’s been the subject of every newspaper headline, Twitter stream, FaceBook status update, conversation and blog site for the past week. For the most part, I try to steer clear of oversaturated topics unless I have a different perspective or something new to add [...]

What If Someone Spit On You? (The Ultimate Disrespect)

I have a confession to make: I’m a reality TV junkie. I’m talking about the real trashy, I’m-lookin’-for-love-in-all-the-wrong-places kind. It’s my little bit of escape from life stresses. I’ve been with my new cable provider for over two years and the only channel I know by heart is VH1, which reigns supreme with their Celeb-Reality [...]

Have You Ever Loved the Wrong Person? (Self-Mutilation)

Each time I loved the wrong person, It was like a labor of self-mutilation… Each time my I-love-yous went unrequited, It was as if I were slitting my own wrists with those stagnated words… Each time I slid the condom on before I made love to her, It was like putting a noose around my [...]

Have You Ever Had a Perfect Jump-Off? (My Special Friend)

Courtesy of Dave Jackson It started off as playful banter. Janice and I sat and talked for a while about how we kept missing each other. At some point in our lives we were always the odd person out in a relationship, but we still made “time” for each other—if you know what I mean. [...]

Can You Accept My Flaws? (Da ThRONe’s Dating Theory)

Hello, Sock Heads, Today we’re doing something different. Your favorite blogger (and mine’s) reached out to me about doing a guest blog and I gladly obliged. Over the past few months I’ve bumped heads with a lot of other Sock Heads with my “out of the box” way of thinking. If you’re familiar with any [...]

How Do You Deal With Death? (I’ll Always Love You)

Today is January 11th. It might be just another random date on the calendar for most, but for me it’s a weird day full of reasons to smile, as well as cry. Today my best friend’s daughter turns three. Today marks a month to the day of my brother’s birthday. Today is the 23rd anniversary [...]

She Broke My Heart & My Penis (Handling a Bad Breakup)

Dear NWSO, I need some advice and I’ll be super brief but it’s a long story. I’ve had two girlfriends—both lasted over four years—and I’ve only had sex with only two people. Both times we were “in love” before having sex. I broke up with my last girlfriend in August ’09 because I felt like [...]
