I love neuroscience. Or, more specifically, I love the neuroscience of love. It’s kind of the opposite of what we think of as “romance.” Especially when it comes down to the effect that sniffing T-shirts worn several nights by men who were not wearing deodorant. And the effect was…lurrrrve. No kidding. It’s right here in …
A while back someone alerted me about The Very Big O being sold on some website I didn’t recognize. I checked it out and asked the people who ran it to remove the novella from their listings. Which they did. Which was too bad, in a way. You see, the site sold text books and …

In her humorous romantic caper novel Temporarily Employed, Vicki goes so far as to introduce …
My guest is Laura Roberts, a ManWARrior who writes about sex and travel, one of which is a familiar topic to regular readers of this blog. Laura knows what she’s talking about, as she wrote a column called V is for Vixen, which chronicled the real-life sexcapades of the apparently very horny people of Montreal, …
