Disappearing Acts

by Jeannie Greeley, 06-13-2008

A few weeks ago, I got a scathing phone call from an ex. My offense this time? I wasn’t around to rub lotion on her back. “You are never there when I need you!” she howled. From lube to Lubriderm in such a short time, with so many feelings crushed along...

On the couch ... with three straight shooters from the sperm bank

by Jeannie Greeley, 05-05-2008

IT'S NOT EVERY evening that I find myself shopping for sperm on the Internet, though I suppose it's somewhat of an occupational hazard. I was amazed to find the process very similar to that of many online dating sites, with its lists of people's...
Bad vibrations

Bad vibrations

by Jeannie Greeley, 04-22-2008

I AM NOT a promise-maker. But here’s one I intend to keep: never will I attend another sex-toy party as long as blood continues to pump to my pink parts. I don’t care if it’s being thrown by Parker Posey on a Caribbean island and the dress code is string...

Sinners and Saints: A Mardi Gras showdown

by Jeannie Greeley, 03-10-2008

DRIVING CROSS-country gives you a lot of time to think. You can put miles between you and any insignificant relationship woes. You can master the state capitals. You can become acquainted with the history of "meat showers" in some of our finer...

On the Couch ... with a horny handicapped* hombre

by Jeannie Greeley, 02-25-2008

I'VE SPENT many a night with a certain pal of mine, scoping women in bars and bitching about relationship woes. But while complaining about my trivial challenges, I sometimes forget how much more difficult it is for him, a disabled man in the dating...

Straight Shot: On exploring the opposite gender

by Jeannie Greeley, 02-06-2008

THE FIRST thing that alarms me is the facial hair, dragging across my chin like an enraged porcupine. Then I feel large, rough hands cupped around my face. Then the musky aroma creeps up and stings my nose. Holy absence of labia minora! I'm with a...

The Art of Apathy: On fighting the battle of who could care less

by Jeannie Greeley, 11-30-2007

MY MOTHER called the other day and excitedly announced that she was about to conduct that annual holiday tradition, "picking names." The ritual involves my mother, scraps of paper, and her gleeful assigning of gift-buying duties. "I was...

On the Couch: ... With the Other Woman

by Jeannie Greeley, 11-19-2007

A WHILE BACK, I began this "On the Couch" interview series with people willing to reveal intriguing or unique aspects of their sexual lives. I suspended it for some time after freaking out one unsuspecting subject. But I revive it now with a...
