I was connected to Aden Ardennes while looking for people to talk to about sexuality and I got to know him while I interviewed him for my November vlog, How did you learn about sex? Aden was not only able to draw on his personal experiences, but also on the conversations he has on the radio [...]

Recently I asked how you learned about sex: From what I gathered from the people I spoke to, most of us did not get the “sex talk” from our parents. We talked about sex with our friends or older siblings, or just learned as we went along. This got me thinking: What would have [...]

SwitSalone.com just brought a very disturbing documentary to my attention, Vice Travel Guide to LIberia. As part of their on-going “Vice Travel” series, VICE took their cameras and money to Monrovia, and made an hour-long film. Vickie Remoe, SwitSalone: If you ever wanted to get an impression of what some white middle class American men may find interesting about Africa then this [...]

After reporting on, “Safe Sex: Are you having it?”, I started to think about the first time I received the message that if I was going to have sex- it NEEDED to be safe sex. And I remember getting that memo at 10 years old, listening to Salt-N-Pepa’s “Very Necessary” album. The last track was a [...]

I’ve known Daniel Hernandez for a few years now, and I must say he is one of the most realistic individuals I know– especially when it comes to business. As he’s said to me on many occasions- “You can love doing something, but what’s real is the need to make money!” And I’ve watched him do just that [...]

So I met this gorgeous guy at the grocery story when I was buying rice. He walked up to me, asked me if I was a vegetarian ( I guess because I was buying rice) and told me that he wanted to take me out. We exchanged information and set up a date about two weeks later. [...]

Recently for Bedsider.org– I asked: How is our bad economy affecting our dating and sex lives? The fact is, most of us are watching our bottom line. And that means coming up with creative things to do on a date that stay within our decreasing budget. As a single gal myself, I can definitely relate that! [...]

For weeks protesters from different walks of life have descended on Liberty Plaza (Zuccotti Park) — and now a community has emerged. While reporting for Turnstyle News, I found that although different causes inspired people to converge in Lower Manhattan, there is a common feeling of openness, discussion, and interaction between people who might have [...]

Arrrr! I got my nails done to impress this man… and he’s married??? One would say I should have gotten up right then and there, but the reality of it all took a while to really hit me. First of all, he didn’t come right out and tell me. In fact, we’ve been talking on the [...]

Before seeing clips from BIDEOLOGY, a documentary that asks women if they would date a bisexual man, I never considered how I would respond if a man I wanted to date revealed that to me. I never really considered a man being bisexual at all–women, of course–but a man? Never! Apparently, I wasn’t the only [...]
