I don’t normally do this because, frankly, I don’t care enough to, but I really would like to clarify something. Recently, I wrote a piece about superficiality in the world of casual sex, and included a personal anecdote. Unfortunately, I’ve realized, after a friend told me about some his teammates’ Read More…
While browsing a blog, I found an interesting post in which the author re-examined the definition of “having sex.” In part of the piece, she recounted how she struggled with defining her first attempt at losing her virginity and whether or not it counted as sex (she didn’t actually have Read More…
Being superficial is wrong. You shouldn’t pick your friends based on their looks (trust me, there are tons to gorgeous bitchy girls and hunky assholes around). You shouldn’t be mean to people because you don’t think they’re good looking enough to deserve your kindness. Many would also argue that you Read More…
We’re in school — yay! And we get grades — yay again! So why not get another one? Trojan (“America’s #1 condom”) came out with its annual Sexual Health Report Card and gave us here at UC Berkeley another, you guessed it, grade. The good news: we went from being Read More…
Ok, for those of you who actually know me, you already know how excited I get when free condoms are being conveniently given out. This girl has yet to spend money on condoms — and let’s keep it that way. So of course I decided to come back to Upper Read More…

This is Berkeley. And Berkeley students are über smart and intellectual. So, of course we like to sit around (or fold laundry) and philosophize about topics such as the definitional distinction between “sluts” and “whores.” Really. A couple of years ago, a friend of mine and I had that discussion Read More…
I would like to introduce to you the concept of “the rotation.” What is it, you ask? It’s a very important concept of singlehood. It is a concept and organization tool, of sorts, to help you ensure (or try to) that your needs get met. While folks in relationships, or Read More…
The answer? Never. Ever, ever. The other day, I decided to take a stroll through Cosmo’s Love & Sex section as a means of procrastination, and stumbled upon an article titled “How to Tell Him You’ve Been Faking It.” My immediate reaction: Unnecessary article because you should never fake it.

During a recent homework break, I was browsing through a bunch of websites on which I like to waste time, and I stumbled upon a piece written because of the newly-released Anna Faris movie “What’s your number?“ Although I had seen the movie’s trailer many times before, I had never paid Read More…
