Damn you for bringing up "the brown." You know I have a thing for Newcastle Brown Ale, the way it reminds me of home and sitting on the porch and deliciousness and despair. We used to drink it on the little spit of dirt we called a lawn until 6 am…

Walking out of your apartment with the intent to masturbate is an uneasy feeling. It's uneasier knowing you'll be doing so legally, safe from the handcuffs and stigma that follow the perverts whacking off in the subway. I really had to giggle at the…

Dear Nice Guy and Fuckboy, My name is Chelsea, and I am 22 years old from Los Angeles. I'm currently having relationship drama with a guy I've never officially been with. We've been on and off for the past three years. He's never been "sure" of our…

Hey y'all, My name is Raquel (pseudonym), and I am 24 years young from the great state of Texas! I have been talking to a guy named Nick (pseudonym) for almost six months now, and things seem to be flowing nicely between us, I think. We met on a…
