Joseph Gordon-Levitt has written and directed a new movie, Don Jon, in which he also stars. After premiering at Sundance in January 2013 and set for wide release in October 2013, the trailer came out last month. I'm excited to see what Joe does with the topics of porn, fantasy, relationships.

Because All 20-Something Males Watch Porn

I've been noticing a fair amount of critiquing women over the last 15 years I've been an adult. Some of it is shere misogyny and some of it is about cultural stuff that women 'generally' perpetuate against men and against other women and so is fair enough. We are not beyond reproach of course.

"You Have to be Fond of Them to Love Them"

You’ve gotta be able to give and take in order to have balance in a healthy relationship. With this comes a delicious sort of tension in any romantic exchange between partners: the push and pull.

So what do I mean when I say push and pull?

Historically, I first realized I was utilizing the principle whilst mackin.’ Making out always presented itself to me as a little game. I loved (and still love) to be playful and keep my kissee on their soon-to-be-curling toes.

I noticed two main kissing routes: forward and assertive—especially with tongue involved—and a more soft, reactionary route.

How Betty Made Me a Relationship & Sex Radical

So, my tentative New Year's resolution is to get my hands out of my own pants and down someone else's.

I say tentative because I have been down the slippery path of online dating before - and I know what I'm in for. Nonetheless, I have decided to dust off my old Match.com profile and try this cyberdating thing once again. Maybe.

As you can see, I am rather conflicted about the whole thing. My experience with online dating has been a mixed bag. I have been on a few sites such as OKCupid and Yahoo Personals, but frankly my "best" experience has been with Match. And that is a highly qualified "best".

Here is an article from TheFrisky.com where the author, Nikki Dowling, lists the major things she's learned about lesbians and her girlfriend in general after having left heterosexuality for a lesbian sex life and relationship.

I like her quote that states, "It's the individual that makes relationships differ-- not the gender." Her article, by the way, is written much like I prefer to write about sex and relationships. It gives readers a bit of an insider's perspective that they'd otherwise remain ignorant of.

This email from 22 yr old Rebecca made my day. I was sitting on my workout bench at Betty's place when I read this on my blackberry. Putting to words the feelings a letter like this stirs in me is difficult.... It's several emotions blended together. The best I can do to describe it is, the thrill of erasing a little suffering from the face of the planet.

Hi there, Eric. :)
So I'm finally getting around to writing this-- I've been pretty busy working and setting things up here in Vermont-- everything is going well though. I hope things are well with you too!
I figure I will just write as though I'm speaking to you (which I am) and you can cut and paste whatever you want to use for your blog. Hope this helps! I mean it all!

We don't need you to figure out our lives, save the day, or lie and say we look fabulous in coolots and clogs.  We just want you to smile when you look at us just like George:

Scientists found that women who are unhappy with the way they look feel significantly better about themselves after being greeted by a smiling face.

The boost in self esteem has led psychologists to think that for many, confidence in their appearance is all about social acceptance.  The study found that women who are unhappy with the way they look feel better after being greeted by a smiling face.

Watching romantic comedies can spoil your love life, a study by a university in Edinburgh has claimed.  Rom-coms have been blamed by relationship experts at Heriot Watt University for promoting unrealistic expectations when it comes to love. They found fans of films such as Runaway Bride and Notting Hill often fail to communicate with their partner.

Many held the view if someone is meant to be with you, then they should know what you want without you telling them. Psychologists at the family and personal relationships laboratory at the university studied 40 top box office hits between 1995 and 2005, and identified common themes which they believed were unrealistic.

The problem is that while most of us know that the idea of a perfect relationship is unrealistic, some of us are still more influenced by media portrayals than we realize. The movies included You've Got Mail, Maid In Manhattan, The Wedding Planner and While You Were Sleeping.
