Could You Date Someone That Was Bisexual?

WORDS BY IRANTYOURAVE Could I date a bisexual man? I posed this question to myself after hearing a student tell her boyfriend she was gay for one of his friends. It amazed me how open most of the current generation is, so I questioned if I could date a man who not only liked but [...]

Do Church Girls Make Boring Dates? / Being Too Good is Bad

Saint or sinner? Like most of us, I feel like I fall somewhere in between the two. While I was named after a saint, I’ve definitely had my fair share of sins in my lifetime. But who hasn’t? Even still, I don’t think I could date someone that was super-religious. That’s no knock against anyone’s [...]

How Do You Get Pregnant By Accident? (It’s Your Fault)

WORDS BY DA THRONE I was watching a documentary on the history of the bikini the other day (I love learning things LOL) and I thought it was fascinating watching how something as simple as swimwear could impact culture worldwide. That got me to thinking even deeper about why society is so determined to place [...]

I Object to My Best Friend’s Wedding (Hating or Helping)

Dear NWSO, Someone who claimed to be my best friend began dating this guy that recently moved to our state. Of course when moving to a new place, things aren’t just going to fall into your lap, i.e. jobs, a place to live, etc. Slowly, though, I began to notice that he was living off [...]

“Suck my d*ck!” As much as I enjoy the exquisite art of head, to the best of my recollection, the above sentence has yet to come out of my mouth during the actual act. Mainly because of the negative connotation associated with requesting fellatio in such a manner. Quite frankly it’s rude and ungentlemanly. Plus, [...]

How Many Sexual Partners is Too Much? (Numbers Game)

Dear NWSO, I randomly stumbled upon your blog and I love it even though most entries are for an older age group ’cause I’m 19 and a sophomore in college. I’ve had many sexual partners and compared to my friends my number is larger than theirs. I always practice safe sex and get tested but [...]

Do You Remember Your First Apartment? (Independence Day)

Do you remember your first place? I sure as hell do—I’ve been traveling back and forth there the past few months dealing with some repair issues. I’m sure my first place is different than most in that I went from my mama’s basement to actually owning my first co-op. Even still, I think most of [...]

Is It Really Cheaper to Keep Her? (Dissecting a Divorce)

Have you ever heard the phrase: “It’s cheaper to keep her?” If not, it’s basically saying how divorces cost (men) so much that you’re probably better off (financially) staying in a bad marriage then breaking up and having her take half your estate. Well, if you watch Basketball Wives and have seen the BS that [...]
