POSTS WITH TAG: hooking up

  • 12 +SHARE

    I separated from my husband just a year ago. The day before Mother's Day, to be exact. We were just kids when we married sixteen years ago, so breaking up was a seismic event in my life. We'd been together almost my entire adult life. Obviously I couldn't jump into dating right away. I decided to take a year off from men and just work on myself. Do therapy. Work out. Learn how to make myself happy -- which, it turns out, I already knew how to do quite well. And then, finally, after this self-nurturing incubation period I would be ready to enter the world of 21st century dating.

    My first post-divorce "dating" experience was way more tawdry and hot than I'd ever expected.

    Imagine you meet a hot looking guy in a bar and you'd love to get his phone number and maybe a bit more. There are some dangers to the hookup though: Is this guy a psycho? Does he have any STDs? Is he married? Is he your brother? I'm not kidding. Remember the woman who married her father? Or the man who married his sister? Don't assume it couldn't happen to you! They say we're all attracted to people who look like we do! Well, fortunately, there is now a phone app that can detect when you're about to make a major relationship fail and pickup your relative. Yep, it's an incest phone app.

    Some people will use any excuse to score a little hot action. Every day, you can find sex-starved souls posting on Craigslist hoping to find a hook-up, but you'd think they'd take a break when terrorists strike. But noooooo. This just makes them hornier, my friends. Posted one desperado after the Boston Marathon attacks:

    Care to celebrate life with me today? Not sure how to process or react to news of the incidents at the Boston Marathon today. Just want human contact, celebrate life in the face of it. Looking for making out and touching ... If the chemistry or the moment feel right and things go further, well, awesome.

    Because nothing says "I'm mourning this great national tragedy" like a little casual nookie.

    Remember that scene in Juno when she goes to the abortion clinic, and the reception offers her boysenberry-flavored condoms, and says they make her boyfriend’s junk taste like pie? That always made me giggle.

    Although I’ve never used them, I can understand the appeal of flavored condoms. Hey, safety first, and if you’re going to do that, some flavor other than K-Y might make the experience more, shall we say, appetizing.

    As it turns out, you can get condoms in almost every flavor imaginable -- including bacon. That’s right, the company J&D’s Foods recently launched bacon condoms. With that inspiration, I set out to find the wackiest flavored condoms on the market.

    My neighbor upstairs, the one who just moved in, is having raucous sex. I know because it woke me up out of a pretty restful sleep in the wee hours of the morning. Try as I might to will myself to hurry up and drift back off to blissful, coital-less unconsciousness, I listened to her man friend do his best to drill her down through the bed, past the floor, and into my apartment. So I figured I had two options: keep hoping what I was hearing was their last spurt of voracious humping or get on up, catch an episode of The Golden Girls, and write a blog post. Clearly, I chose the latter. Anyway, all of this banging and clanging reminded me of a public service announcement I’ve been meaning to make, and it’s about the misuse of the Facebook inbox. It’s a handy way to communicate with groups, send inside jokes to friends, and circulate 1,005 unsolicited party and event invitations that I’ll never consider attending.

    I guess it was bound to happen at some point, you know, one of the women on The Bachelor making a play for host Chris Harrison. I mean, he's a single dude now, and he's constantly surrounded by eligible women, so would it really be that much of a shock if he formed a love connection with one of the contestants?

    Well, it looks as though he's already caught the eye of one of Sean Lowe's rejects. According to In Touch, AshLee Frazier thinks Chris is a good looking guy and "is open to dating him." (Of course she is.)

    Because some people have awesome jobs, a group of researchers recently set out to study the beer goggle effect. What is it about that third or fourth shot that makes everyone around you all of a sudden more attractive?

    It turns out it doesn’t. It just makes you want to have sex more, which I guess lowers your standards. Dr. Amanda Ellison of Durham University in the U.K. says that, “We still see others basically as they are … there is no imagined physical transformation -- just more desire.”

    You're not sure what happened, but your sex life just isn't what it used to be. The two of you used to have so much fun in bed together. When you first started dating, you couldn't keep your hands off each other all night long. But lately, you barely have the energy to get past 10 p.m. You're stuck in an every night routine of froyo and Letterman in bed; meanwhile, he's snoring ... loudly. Not very sexy.

    Shouldn't sex be steamy and spontaneous like it is in the movies? Well, not always. The hard truth is, sex can get — dare we say it — boring after a while, but our friends over at YourTango have 7 new ways you can spice it up again.

    Oh, come on -- we all knew it was only a matter of time before rumors started flying about Robert Pattinson hooking up with Liberty Ross, right? I mean, talk about these two getting together to wallow in their respective misery and (ahem) cry on each other's shoulders was pretty much inevitable from the moment the news broke that Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders had done some scandalous cheatin'.

    And now that there's also quite a bit of speculation that Rob and Kristen's relationship is hanging on by a thread, now is the perfect time for him to give Liberty Ross a ring and give things a go, right? Well, according to Celeb Dirty Laundry, the British tabloid, The Sun, claims he is already thinking about seeing her in the near future.

    Say your marriage is on the rocks, and to help repair the relationship, you and your husband decide to see a couple’s therapist. The therapist suggests that the two of you begin to see her separately, so she can work with each of you individually. Then she bangs your husband and advises you to get a divorce.

    Nightmare.

    That’s exactly what happened to one couple in Texas who went to see Sheila Loven, who is now on trial for sexual assault for the incident. The Arlington couple had no idea that she was using therapy to collect their deepest secrets and use them to manipulate the wife into leaving and the husband into sleeping with her.
