Would You Sign a Dating Contract? (What’s Mine is Mine)
Maybe I’ve been too busy to notice but according to a February 23 New York Post article, more and more people are signing pre-prenups. Basically, it’s a dating contract. Now why on Earth would people need a dating contract, you ask? Well, according to the US Census Bureau, the number of unmarried couples living together [...]
What’s Your Ultimate Fantasy? (Sign Language, Pt. 2)
WORDS BY DAVE JACKSON PT. 1 Mark grabs me again, with force. He looks at me deep and true. Leaning in slowly, he kisses me. Then, he grabs my face, pulling me in closer and passionately donating his lips and tongue to our non-verbal communication. I feel his hands and arms wrap around my waist [...]
Did Your Parents Set a Bad Example For How to Love?
WORDS BY SKYE BLUE The other day while I was visiting my mother we got to talking about our extended family, and I made the mistake of mentioning that Charmaine, one of my younger cousins, was “thinking about” moving in with her boyfriend, Dean. I say mistake because as soon as she heard the words [...]
Would You Use the Female Condom? (Safe Sex For the Win)
Safe sex is mandatory. Or, at least it should be. However, based on the numerous paternity tests that keep Maury Povich on air and troubling statistics that say “HIV/AIDS infection is the leading cause of death for Black women 25-34 nationwide,” a lot of people still aren’t strapping up.

Are You Willing to Invest in Love? (Successful & Lonely)
Greetings, Sock Heads, Last weekend, I made a couple of announcements.

Yup, that means six days of NWSO—even God rested on the seventh day. With that said, I’d like to introduce [...]
Can Money Ruin Your Relationship? (Don’t Loan to Lovers)
Dear NWSO, I came across your blog through Jozen’s UntilIGetMarried.com and have been hooked ever since! I can’t wait for ThatsABadLook.com. Sounds like it will be hilarious LOL. My reason for contacting you was because I had questions that didn’t involve sex, but instead finances and the significant other. My question is: How soon is [...]
Are Open Relationships Better? (Honesty is Best)
As I was trolling through the Internet yesterday, I came across an interesting article on Gawker entitled “What Hollywood (and the World) Needs is More Open Relationships.” You probably have the same WTF look on your face that I had when I read that headline. What really drew me in, though, was the accompanying picture [...]
Can You Have Too Much Foreplay? (Sign Language Pt. 1)
WORDS BY DAVE JACKSON I open the door and there Mark stood, staring at me. He hasn’t said a word—nor have I. Mark rushes me with the force of a linebacker trying to stop a running back on fourth and one. My body slams against the wall as his intensity rises. He’s breathing heavy and [...]
