The College Sex Ed Classic

These colleges don’t rely on a measly handful of classes in the course catalogue. No, my friend—this is the best of the best. If sex...

5 Things I Wish My Mom Had Told Me About Sex
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 been nice to have known as a teenager? Here are 5 things I wish my mom had told me about sex: 1. “It’s not that serious!...

Nutz and Boltz: Is It For Sex or Spelunking? →
Bedsider with the Three Stooges? So. much. to. love. here. nutzandboltz: Written by Stefanie and edited by Mary. Just like grad school – only funnier.  Congratulations to Bedsider.org for becoming a real boy! Last week was the official launch of Bedsider.org, and if you know me, you have probably heard me talk about it, or I’ve made you watch a video about an IUD – either one.

The Birth Control Solution: Education +...
In Nicholas Kristof’s NY Times column today he writes, “What’s needed isn’t just birth-control pills or IUDs. It’s also girls’ education and women’s rights — starting with an end to child marriages — for educated women mostly have fewer children.” Clearly, Mr. Kristof had women and girls worldwide in mind when he wrote that.
