Late to the party, I recently completed the “50 Shades of Gray” Trilogy. And let’s just say I wasn’t scandalized. Then again, erotica is nothing new to me.

BY LADY ZOMBIE: By now we’ve all heard Rihanna “S&M” hit: Cause I may be bad- But I’m perfectly good at it… Sex in the air- I don’t care- I love the smell of it… Sticks and stones… May break my bones… But chains and whips excite me… Well has it piqued your curiosity? Enough [...]

Did you hear? Soon male birth control may be a reality here in the United States! I for one am excited by the very idea- as woman have been carrying the burden of birth control for far too long. But I wanted to know what men thought about this new possibility and if they’re willing [...]
