How To Be a Better Lover
If there’s one thing that most men wish they knew, it’s how to be a better lover for their partners. For most men, it’s a matter of pride knowing that they can please their partners and make the girls they love get a little weak in the knees. It’s also the reason why the “neighborhood Lothario” tends to make so many men jealous; it almost feels like he may know something other guys don’t about the female libido.

"I’m stressed because I have not got a boyfriend which gives me a heat rash which people mistake for a hicky, which is the most ironic thing ever," one of my good friends at university told me once.
Phoenix BlackleyPublished 6 years ago in HumansMy Worst Date Story: Bulgogi, Barf, & Bae
Strap in, folks. This is going to get wholesome (and gross). *** It was a dark and stormy night... Just kidding, it was a mind-numbingly normal and boring night. Couldn't have been less interesting if it tried, in fact. I was laying in bed on a Saturday night, and I'm pretty sure I had only gotten up that day to pee and eat. I wasn't depressed or anything, just lazy.

Humans, a leading relationship community, has teamed up with O.school to create the #MyWorstDate contest. Maybe it was an unbelievable blind date, or an anonymous hookup with a twist.

As the leaders in pleasure and empowerment, O.school is looking for your stories about those ridiculous, head-scratching, pull-your-hair out nights that you never forget. Was it a misleading profile? Bad sex? Abject narcissism? Parental monitors? The utter lack of respect for your enjoyment? Maybe it was something harder to talk about. We want to know how you got there, what happened, and what you learned from it. At O.school, we not only want to have discussions, we want to improve the conversation.
Vocal TeamPublished 6 years ago in HumansSwipe Right for Love?
What am I even doing? A wave of doubts ran through my head as I nervously watched the app download on my phone. The girl in the dorm room next to mine swore this was the only way to get over my bad breakup and I was apparently willing to try anything. Including subjecting myself to a barrage of sleazy messages, followed inevitably by the wave of completely unwanted dick pics. Tinder, while nowhere near my comfort zone, turned out to be exactly what I needed. Not only would I learn to be more confident in my interactions with the opposite sex, I would also stumble across the love of my life.
Alina GallupePublished 6 years ago in Humans10 Reasons to Consider Eloping
If you were one of those little girls who dreamed about her wedding, in your head it was probably something similar to this: large white dress, horse-drawn carriage, Mr. Right waiting for you at the end of an aisle, your friends and family surrounding you and gushing about how perfect everything is. You may have never understood why anyone would run off and elope.
ConfessionsPublished 6 years ago in HumansOpen Letter to the Man Who Left
Looking back on it now, I realize you weren't worth it. I have seen scarier monsters, braved worse storms, I have even dragged my legs through bloodier thorns. Nothing compared to the hurt I felt when you told me what you did. How does somebody cheat on someone they claim to love? How does somebody deny and ignore and shut out someone fighting for them tooth and nail? I'm anxious to know, is it because you were hurting too?
Sarah HoldsworthPublished 6 years ago in HumansHow To Not Bury Your Boyfriend Over the Holidays
Leaving your boyfriend's side for the holidays can feel like a sadistic remake of Christopher Nolan's movie, The Prestige. One moment, he's by your side constantly. He's the first person you call when you're losing your mind over an exam, the one you can rely on for a good popcorn fight or a star-watching adventure. He makes you laugh the most, and he knows all of your roommate drama, your pet-peeves, and your cheesy moves. He's your best friend.

Having been in multiple relationships, (tqo — it still counts) as per is the norm for a young man, I know both how lovely and stressful relationships can be. Yet the logic is that if the person is worth working for, then you work to make things work, right? Yet, you're not reading this because you're trying to make things work. Odds are you couldn't make things work, or your significant other took a flamethrower to things and burnt up anything that could be salvaged by cheating. My condolences. Now, let's talk about how you can get on the road to feeling better.

You've found your soulmate! They are everything you expected them to be, and even more! You two couldn't be happier together and your friends and family are supporting you both — Congratulations! Seriously, finding your other half is a big deal, a wonderful event, and there is no reason why you two shouldn't be happy and thrive together. But let's be honest, some of the best romance stories friends like to hear are ones that are filled with juicy drama, and some of those best stories are about how you and your partner met but were both in different romantic relationships with other people at the time.
