Not Everyone Fits Into Those Pre-Determined Gender Boxes
By Russell O'ConnorMay 13, 2013
Russell O'Connor has never neatly fit into the traditional "masculine" box, and because of that, he's been ridiculed his whole life. When we speak about gender, we are speaking about the masculine and the feminine. What on earth do we mean by the “masculine” and the “feminine”? Those of us who live unhappily in a world with only these categories can find this kind of q...Posted in Culture and Politics, Gender Roles, Manhood, nfti-home, Sex | (0) Comments »
Learn To Ask For What You Need
By Charlie GlickmanMay 06, 2013
I’ve been leaning into some edges lately and learning how to ask people for help. Specifically, asking people I don’t know well for things has been a difficult thing for me. It’s been coming up since I’ve been on tour for The Ultimate Guide to Prostate Pleasure because I’ve asked a few people I didn’t know all that well if I could stay at their places when I...Posted in Marriage, nfti-home, Sex, Sex and Relationships | (0) Comments »
I Dated A Don Draper
By Christan MarashioMay 02, 2013
Women may be drawn to the Don Draper types, says Christan Marashio, but he's an illusion. As he left my apartment he said that he didn’t want me to write about him. “But if you do write about me…” he tossed over his shoulder in his crisp British accent, “…call me Don Draper.” He was referring, of course, to the lead character in AMC’s prolifi...Posted in Dating, nfti-home, Pop Culture, Sex, Sex and Relationships | (0) Comments »
I Love Porn, But Where Are The Options Beyond 'Sluts' Getting 'Slayed'?
By Emily Heist MossApril 24, 2013
More and more women are tuning in to porn, so why is so much of it still so misogynistic? “Want to watch porn tonight?” “Yes!” We settle in, pulling up one of the many aggregator sites available for people like us, looking to find some attractive strangers we want to watch get down. Let the good times begin! You might think that clearing that initial hurdle—deci...Posted in Emily, Internet and Social Media, Movies, nfti-home, Pornography, Sex, Sex and Relationships | (0) Comments »
The 4 Rules Of Sexual Consent
By Michael KaufmanApril 03, 2013
The conviction of two young men for the rape of an unconscious 16-year-old woman in Steubenville, Ohio, should lead us to much-needed discussion about attitudes toward sexual assault and the type of education and social changes we need to end it. Unfortunately, much of the mainstream media coverage of the verdict was atrocious: sympathy was expressed not for the victim but the rapists. However...Posted in Culture and Politics, Current Events, nfti-home, Sex, Sexual Violence | (0) Comments »
Why I Have To Stop Ogling Jon Hamm's Penis
By Lynn BeisnerApril 02, 2013
Lynn Beisner discusses why it's not OK to objectify men. I don’t usually have celebrity crushes, and I am not usually attracted to men on a purely visual level. One of the few celebrity crushes I have is for George Clooney. It only developed after I saw him on Inside the Actor’s Studio talking about how he is helping to end genocide in Darfur with satellite imaging. Suddenly he was...Posted in Culture and Politics, Current Events, Gender Roles, Internet and Social Media, Lynn, nfti-home, Pop Culture, Sex | (0) Comments »
Bad With Men: Are You My Next Boyfriend?
By Dana NorrisMarch 25, 2013
Dana Norris went on 71 Internet dates. This was one of them. (You can find some of her previous dates in this series here, here and here.) So I go home with this guy named Patrick because he’s cute and it’s late and riding the train out to his suburban apartment seems easier than waiting for a cab. The evening began as a birthday party for a mutual friend but it’s ending as a...Posted in Dating, Internet and Social Media, nfti-home, Sex, Sex and Relationships | (0) Comments »
Does Sex Get Better With Age?
By Charlie GlickmanMarch 21, 2013
Today is the 20th anniversary of the date that I met my partner. In the last two decades, we’ve both changed a lot. We’re both much more secure and solid in who we are. We’ve grown and challenged each other to overcome many of the habits that caused friction in our lives and in our connections with other people. We’ve learned many, many ways to support our relationship. ...Posted in nfti-home, Sex, Sex and Relationships | (0) Comments »
The Difference Between 'Bad Girls' And 'Bad Boys'
By Christan MarashioMarch 20, 2013
We slut-shame "bad girls," yet women want to date "bad boys" and men want to be them, says Christan Marashio Adam Levine is considered a bad boy. Why, you ask? I have no idea. He’s looks to be about 140 lbs. soaking wet and flinches when cars explode in the background of his videos. I assume it’s his outspoken, bordering-on-dickish nature combined with his raw sexuality that elevat...Posted in Gender Roles, nfti-home, Sex, Sex and Relationships | (0) Comments »
Is Alcohol The New Short Skirt?
By Helen RedmondMarch 18, 2013
Attitudes about women’s alcohol consumption haven’t changed much. Women who drink are still perceived as being “promiscuous,” “easy,” or more sexually available. Alcohol is a game-changer when it comes to rape. If a woman was drinking when she was raped, she will be doubted and told it was her fault. Like Hester Prynne, she’ll be shamed and blamed. Soc...Posted in Culture and Politics, Current Events, nfti-home, Sex, Sexual Violence | (0) Comments »
