I Deserve Better Than a Girlfriend (Anti-GF/BF Campaign)
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately and I’d like to start a new campaign: No more boyfriends and girlfriends. Not for adults at least. Let’s leave those titles for the kids who are in fact boys and girls. I’ll be 34 next weekend (party on the 22 so come through) and I’ve been [...]
Could You Sleep With Someone You Didn’t Respect?
I’m not perfect. I’ve done some things over the years I’m not proud of and it took me a long time to get here. This is something I’ve always felt guilty about and this is my confession. We were just fuckin’. Plain and simple. There were no strings attached and no need for a title. [...]
Do Men Love Women That Take Control? (Dream Girl)
WORDS BY COOKIES N CREAM PT. 1. She creeps into my room. Her feet lightly touch the floor, as if she’s floating.

Would You Commit to You? (I Need a Wife, Not a Girlfriend)
WORDS BY RASTAMAN “Marriage is not a love affair. A love affair is a totally different thing. A marriage is a commitment to that which you are. That person is literally your other half. And you and the other are one. A love affair isn’t that. That is a relationship of pleasure, and when it [...]
Take it From Me, Marriage Takes Work (Are You Committed?)
WORDS BY JACINDA I’ve been married to my husband almost a year now, so you could still call us newlyweds. I’m 30 and my husband is 32. I actually never imagined that I would get married. I was the hard-charging, aggressive woman who just wanted to get to the top of her field. I was [...]
How Much Do You Trust Your Lover? (Not On My Face)
WORDS BY ABIGAIL The makeshift ashtray was almost full. Cigarette butts and ashes intermingled like brown limbs and kinky hair. He puffed away, tapping his cigarette into the heap in the ashtray. He stared out the window; his gaze fixed miles away through the snow that blanketed the city. My gaze, however, was fixed on [...]
