“Money is intrinsic to our sexual politics,” said Scott. “And it seems that no matter how enlightened we’ve become, the desire for men to get the check is an irresistible force deeply ingrained in our culture. It’s like the last vestige of a dated notion of chivalry, being carried out ad hoc by men all across America.”

“Look, I’m a feminist or whatever, but I still like it when a guy picks up the check on a date. I understand that in our post-gender, social-justice millennial era, the idea of subscribing to traditional gender roles in a relationship makes you an honorary fascist, and yet, I can’t help getting wet whenever a willowy, beaked artiste pulls out his wallet and says, “Babe, I got this one.”

“I once had a guy tell me that he doesn’t go down on women because he’s a germaphobe. Are you kidding me? How am I supposed to relax and feel good about myself after you basically called my vagina dirty? It’s so much more of a turn-on to be with someone who’s kind of gross—someone who wants to smell my dirty underwear and lick my teeth and spit in my mouth. Like, I’m in my 30s now—I’m too old to date a guy who won’t kiss me after I give him a blow job.”

Tagged: Sex, How to be good at sex
“Here’s something I don’t feel is often discussed when we talk about anal sex: It can actually be really intimate. A friend of mine who’s married swears that her and her husband’s increased regularity of anal sex has made their sex life far more exciting and satisfying, and has brought them closer together. But, she says, ‘It’s because when we have anal sex, he lets me do the steering.’ Essentially, crossing the butt boundary with a partner can be really exciting, and a major bonding moment, but you have to know what you’re doing.”

“Words and phrases like chakra, energy, and ‘I’m sorry I’m late, but Mercury is in retrograde’ are all major boner killers for me. But unfortunately, even in notoriously skeptical New York, it’s increasingly difficult to find someone who doesn’t believe that some magical cosmic force is dictating everything from subway timing to whether or not they’re getting laid. Everyone I date smells like sage.”
