6 Summer Fails – Don’t Get Caught Out There Doing This
fter an extended winter we can finally trade in the boots and coats in lieu of lighter garments and brighter colors.

Have You Ever Thought About Someone Else During Sex?
WORDS BY RAE She had the softest, tastiest brown skin you could possibly imagine. She was a goddess of a fair-skinned Black woman with naturally long black hair—hair that was actually of her own.

Should Your Parents Meet Everyone You Date?
I’m in a dilemma that I’ve been in since I started dating. I’m 23 years old and single, but I’m having problems with my parents. It’s not really my dad, but my mom; she’s too traditional. I’m not upset nor do I hate my parents for being parents because I know that they’re just doing [...]

What Inspires You? (Why Fear is Necessary to Succeed)
What inspires you? That’s the question that was posed to me. There’s a million ways that I could answer that question—family, love, being a better father than the one I had, etc.—but what immediately popped in to my head was failure. That may seem like an odd response but let me explain my train of [...]
Are Black People Happy With Their Bodies? (Nip/Tuck WTF)
ave you ever written about plastic surgery?” That’s the random text my friend Heather sent me a few weeks ago.
