This Valentines Day, Make Your Own Non-Toxic Lube
No lube? No problem. Irina Shatilova/Getty Images It’s apparently Valentine’s Day, a holiday that, according to some, has its origins in a Roman feast called Lupercalia, during which men drank a lot, sacrificed animals, and slept with women whose names they pulled out of a hat.

Savage Love: Woman Wonders Whether Her Demigender Husband Is a Lesbian
My sweetheart and I have been reading your columns for 20ish years. Your advice to others has been useful for even for us vanilla folk. Anyway, my question.

Savage Love: Did Grabbing Daddy’s Ass Ruin Everything?
I just saw a funny meme where this mouse was leaning against a wall with his paws and a person touched his tiny butt and the mouse freaked out and acted all weird and was like how dare you. The meme said this is โa strict top when you touch their butt.” This struck me […]

Savage Love: The Guy She’s Dating Repulses HerโBut Only Sometimes
Iโm a bi girl about to turn 30. Iโve faked my way through my first five-year relationship, a fact I am not proud of. (I partially blame my strict protestant upbringing.)

Savage Love: He Wants to Experience Inescapable Bondage At Least Once Before He Dies
I am a 50-year-old male married for nineteen years to a female who hates sex. (Her first husband divorced her because they had too little sex. I thought there had to be a reason that would not affect us. I was wrong.) I brought some rope on our honeymoon for her to tie me up […]
