Few things are more frustrating than looking forward to a warm, relaxing shower after a long day, and instead having to endure an oscillating stream of scalding and glacial water because something to do with the temperature is all messed up. But before you go tearing your...
I am neither a poet nor a scientist, and so to describe what sex smells like seems near impossible. Sex smells like… body juice? Erotic-flavored sweat? Chicken broth? According to expert sex doctors and fellow sex-havers, all of the above. But there are a handful of components...
I work from home, interact with people almost entirely through my computer camera and, most days, only leave my apartment to walk my dog. Put another way, so long as I seem even the slightest bit presentable on video calls, I can reasonably get away without showering...
