En… wil ik heteromannen überhaupt nog wel tot mijn datingpool rekenen? Aangezien ik me altijd als biseksueel heb geïdentificeerd, haalde ik m’n schouders op en besloot: we zien wel waar het schip strandt – laat ik het net maar zo wijd mogelijk uitgooien.
Come possiamo smetterla di comportarci da sottoni?

1 week ago | cosmopolitan.com | Lois Shearing

La mia ultima storia è finita con una telefonata di 37 secondi. Dopo quasi un anno di vita insieme, ci siamo detti: «È andata!» e non ci siamo più rivisti. A questa chiusura da Guinness dei primati è seguito un mio secondo record personale di cui vado modestamente molto fiera: sono rimasta single per due anni, il periodo più lungo trascorso da sola da quando ho iniziato ad avere, in adolescenza, una vita relazionale.

Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

4 weeks ago | cosmopolitan.com | Lois Shearing

Y2K nostalgia is having a real moment. Skinny jeans are making a comeback, chokers are in, and so too, apparently, is the type of homophobia I remember from my school days. On April 9, Celebrity Big Brother UK viewers were left shocked after actor Mickey Rourke made several bigoted remarks towards musician and former Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa. Rourke, who is 72, asked JoJo whether she “likes boys or girls”, to which she replied, “me? Girls. My partner is non-binary”.

Anal fingering can be pretty great for men or people with penises, in no small part thanks to the added bonus of a prostate massage.
