Sex and the Self-Defeating Single Girl
I haven’t had a whole lot of sex in my lifetime. I mean, I’ve had isolated periods of a lot of sex when I’ve been in an intimate relationship with the person I’ve been shagging, but I haven’t had a lot of partners. I can, in fact, count my sexual partners on one hand.

Trying to scare away whatever was causing the sounds, James, the Irving family patriarch, growled like a predator. Far from frightened, the creature growled back.

Assholes and the Arts: Can We Ever Truly “Cancel” Our Pop-Culture Icons?
I have a guilty confession to make. I still occasionally listen to the music of Gary Glitter, and I still enjoy it.
