Sex and the (Small) City 7

New York City is too f*cking small sometimes. Lately, I can’t turn around without walking into someone I’ve slept with.

Relapse 1

I had a relapse.
Remember the Hamburglar? I was so strong and ended it. Ummm not so much.
After I told you all about the Hamburglar here and here, I erased his number from my phone and began moving on with my life. And then I was in a bind one day and needed some help picking [...]

Sleepaway 3

Jewish adolescents from Long Island and their adjacent Queens neighborhoods experience their first foray into that which is sexual at Jewish sleepaway camp. It is a practically universal experience which involves leaving home for eight weeks to make out with – and touch the private parts of – other likeminded (read: horny) preteens in upstate [...]
