Relationship Practice Month

Practice may be defined as working to master something.

Some people are still behind the times and actually care what popular opinion is, like most people actually know what the hell they’re doing. If you ever find yourself in such a predicament, remember: the American [...]

Abortions: At Lowest Rate Since 1974

This caught me off guard. Abortions are unambiguously decreasing in the United States. I read this ABC News story that talked about two different reasons why this was happening: more access to emergency contraception and fewer abortion clinics being open.
Yeah, maybe. Or maybe it’s because getting married is getting played out, and heroes like Shawn [...]

99% of Relationship Problems are the Man’s Fault

I am completely sick of hearing guys I know bitch about problems with their relationships. She’s flirting with other guys, she talks about her ex, she has psychological problems, I don’t trust her, our sex frequency/satisfaction/variety isn’t good, we have too many arguments, money troubles (this might be an exception to what I’m suggesting, I [...]

Word of the Day: Fasturbate

Defined as:
1) the act of masturbating when in a hurry
2) masturbation under time-restrictions
Thank you, urban dictionary, I needed a term for this. I’d like to propose a new word in the same vein: fasturbang. I mean, let’s be real, time is money.
