I learned a very valuable lesson today. It’s not all roses and free lube on Twitter, folks. Sure, sometimes you get marriage proposals, but other times you get SCORN.

“You mean you don’t clench your vagina?” This is my girlfriend, schooling me in the ways of faking orgasms, a subject I thought I was well-versed in. I am, after all, one of the 48-72% of women who have faked it at some point in their lives. I’ve seen the Meg Ryan scene in When [...]

I’ve been reviewing a bunch of (mostly terrible) lesbian movies for this year’s queer film fest, Reeling. You can read them here and here.
