What's the creepiest, spookiest, most terrifying costume you can think of? Voldemort? A zombie? A zombie BRIDE? An evil genius? A spoooooooooooky ghost? A giant, life-sized rat? The Zodiac Killer? OK, those were all of the options I could think of…

When we were in college, my friends and I had what we called "crush rosters." Yes, we've always treated dating like a game. Basically, you had a roster of all your crushes — from the random guy in your English class you'd never spoken to, to the guy…

I'll be the first to tell you sex is great. I'll also be the first to tell you I'm attracted to, like, everyone. I pride myself in not having a "type," and I spend a whole lot of time reading and writing about all the different kinds of people,…

Really stressing about your dry spell? Well, worry no longer because it turns out everyone's having them. A new study published yesterday in the Archives of Sexual Behavior found that millennials are having way less sex than the generations before…

“As a gay man, that's what makes you different: Your sexuality. It just so happens that Mormons teach that our type of sexuality is bad.” Levi Jackman Foster, an Insta-famous gay man and artist who grew up immersed in the Mormon community, hits this…

Sometimes, in tough situations, we don't allow ourselves to react to in a way that'll make us feel better. Instead, we focus too much on trying to make sure other people think we're a strong, independent person. And in turn, we bottle things up…

I was in my senior year at Columbia University when the conversation about sexual assault burst open on campus. I spent the first three years of undergrad hearing everyone's tales of casual sexual exploits, fueled by alcohol, and figured that was…

Men and women alike have varying opinions concerning double standards. One never-ending argument revolves around the idea that it's easier for a woman to sleep around than a man; it's a prideful accomplishment for a man to have many sexual partners…

I think it's ironic that our generation, which grew up with Disney classics like Aladdin and TV couples like Topanga and Corey, is also known as the "hook-up generation." But really, how differently do we date? Not every single Millennial is out to…

Amidst all the stories of ghosting, cheating and hook-up culture, it's important to be reminded that enduring love does exist. And even if you are a skeptic, it'll be pretty hard for you to not believe in the power of love after hearing about this…

I was sitting across the kitchen table from my dad, spending a rare night out of the city to visit my parents, when he nudged some food across his plate with his fork and cleared his throat. "So, have you been on any dates recently?" He let his…

I never cease to feel amusement at people's perceived discomfort when talking about sex. Sure, we can talk about numbers and give a quick answer to what's good or bad or discuss the hardship of a particularly long dry spell, but the other details…

The noncommittal nature of the hook up culture has a funny way of making even the most sane of us all go a little bonkers. I mean, think about it. You like someone, you've been ~intimate~ with them, you talk all the time, but they STILL reserve the…

"Bartender! Double gin and tonic," is screamed across the dimly lit bar. Yes, there's me again, drowning the sorrows from yet another failed relationship. I seem to find myself here a lot. Maybe I'm here too much, to be honest. It's a night after…

As the last of the Millennials are getting ready for high school graduation in the next few months, those of us with SOs may be wondering if we need to let our partners go. Everyone knows a couple who does. Whether they've been dating since freshman…

Long gone are the days of moonlit walks, romantic dinners and bouquets of flowers. Whether we like it or not, we Millennials are now referred to as the “hook-up generation.” While some people enjoy the hook-up culture they find themselves in, some…

Millennials are well aware of the all-too-familiar story of finding a hookup and then, as time goes on, developing feelings, only to realize those feelings are never going to result in anything. Whether you met your hookup in a bar one Saturday…

The current American dating scene has been labeled a “hook-up culture," and justly so. We have one-night stands. We go home with the guy from the bar without blinking an eye. We avoid labels and feelings. But why is that seen as such a bad…

Whether I'm looking for a committed relationship or not, I am not the girl to use for strictly promiscuous entertainment. I am not the girl you call around 2 am, stating your urges and expecting me to just drop everything and come over. No, I don't…

I am 22, and I am still a virgin. Yes, you read that correctly. There are 11 girls in my immediate friend group, and I am the only one who hasn’t lost her virginity. Five months ago, this was not the case. Three of my friends, along with myself,…

I wanted to know what the f*ck love was, and after I hit rock bottom due to a toxic "romance," I made it my business to find out. As I refined my search, I realized that precisely 97.2 percent of love advice sets people up for relationship…

Texas State University student Monika Rostvold covered her body with Chick-Fil-A on Tuesday to raise awareness about college hook-up culture. Wearing napkins that spelled out "All you can eat," she hoped to make a bold statement about the…

“He assumed I wanted a relationship when I didn’t.” “I don’t get why he thinks I want to date him.” “He said he didn’t want anything serious and stopped talking to me, but it wasn’t serious.” Ah. This is something many women deal with. As I sat in…

How come more and more professional women living in big cities have such a hard time finding true love? According to Jon Birger, author of "Date-onomics: How Dating Became a Lopsided Numbers Game," we are facing a man deficit. The shortage of…

I'm tired of hearing the phrase “hook-up culture” as much as I'm tired of living it. There's something slightly predatory about the way we approach dating and nightlife. You go out, spot someone you wouldn't mind seeing naked and try to bang it out…
