Dear Poll: Do You Actually Have Makeup Sex?

DearSugar — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 12:00:00 -0700

The thrill and passion of makeup sex has long been thought of - in the movies at least! - as one of the wonderfully pleasant consequences of a fight. In reality though, most fights don’t end in a torrent of released sexual tension, but maybe it’s something you have to set up from the get-go. In any case, it seems more like a relationship anomaly than regular occurrence to me. So do any of you actually have makeup sex?

Do Tell: Do You Look For Ways to Rock the Boat?

DearSugar — Tue, 20 May 2008 11:00:00 -0700

It seems that no matter how good things are in our relationships, women commonly find a way to stir up trouble. Whether it's premeditated or not, we've been known to create unnecessary bumps in the road, but why can't we just be content with what we've got? Is it just not in our nature, or is it for the makeup sex? Although not all women do this, I unfortunately do! So ladies do tell: Do you also rock the boat when things are actually going well in your life just because? And if so, what do you typically do?

Mighty Hermaphrodite Author on Being Intersex

TresSugar — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:00:00 -0700

Hida Viloria, author of the upcoming book Mighty Hermaphrodite, has an inkling of the pain Caster Semenya's going through. Like the South African runner who was tricked into having her sex verified (she's now in hiding and on suicide watch), Viloria is an intersex person.

Formerly known as hermaphrodites, intersex people, says Viloria, are hard to classify either as male or female. Intersex is a group of conditions where there is a discrepancy between the external and internal genitals and the normally corresponding chromosomal makeup. For example, an intersex person can have female chromosomes and ovaries but have male genitalia. Or, they can have male chromosomes and either ambiguous male genitalia or female genitalia. These are just a couple intersex variations. Hear more about Viloria and what she has to say about Semenya.

A Do or a Don't: Primping in Public

DearSugar — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 13:00:00 -0700

Last night I was at a restaurant with some friends and a girl in our party whipped out her compact and started powdering her nose right there at the table!! While I am not one to reapply my make up throughout the day/night, I understand that some women are very particular about their appearance -- but at the dinner table?? I have my own opinion on this topic so what I want to know is, do you think it's a do or a don't to reapply your make up in public?

Lady Gaga: Bringing a New Sexy Back

TresSugar — Wed, 27 May 2009 13:00:00 -0700

How can you be sexy these days? Stop wearing pants. That's what Lady Gaga does and apparently the pop singer is fashioning a new definition of sexy. In the latest issue of Rolling Stone Lady Gaga explains:

I don’t feel like I look like the other perfect little pop singers. I think I’m changing what people think is sexy.

The article also discusses the 23-year-old's road to success. It included ordering bags of cocaine and spending hours perfecting her hair and makeup in a tiny Lower East Side apartment after she dropped out of NYU. Her look sort of makes more sense now.

Do you think Lady Gaga makes a good 21st-century sex icon?

Greece Grants Gay Marriages, Japan Awards Gender Rights

CitizenSugar — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 10:00:41 -0700

With a Greek mayor who presided over outlawed gay marriages yesterday saying, "The laws on marriage simply do not specify any genders. To me, therefore, if something is not banned by law it is not illegal," now facing jail time for his actions, Japan's government is actually moving toward broader gender ideas.

Japan’s House of Councillors (like the US Senate) has unanimously passed legislation which will allow people with gender identity disorder to officially change their sex, giving Gender Identity Disordered (GID) people the ability to change the way the world perceives them - on paper. To see how, read more.

Gender identity disordered people (someone who sees themselves as having a different psychological make-up than their biological sexual orientation) must agree to live as the opposite sex physically and socially to take advantage of the law. The bill states that this condition must be confirmed by two separate doctors, the applicants must also be over 20 years of age, have no children, be unmarried and have non-functioning reproductive organs due to sex-change surgery.

If this law passes their House of Representatives those with GID will have less difficulty finding employment, voting and traveling as their appearances are obviously not in accordance with official documentation.

Are ideas on a strict gender binary, softening worldwide? Will the difference between male and female someday be seen as a sliding scale? Are rights a step in the right direction?

Dear Poll: Do You Pick Fights?

DearSugar — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 16:00:00 -0800

Fights are inevitable in relationships, but do you ever purposely pick them just to rock the boat? Sometimes making up after an argument can make you feel closer to your significant other and while I'm not advocating fighting, there's something to be said about make-up sex! I can admit that I'm guilty of picking a stupid argument from time to time, but what about you? Do you ever pick fights just because?

Quiz: Are You a Lover or a Fighter?

DearSugar — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 10:00:00 -0800

Fighting with our significant others is unavoidable. Sometimes arguments are quick and easy, and other times they're downright dirty. Either way, your adrenaline starts pumping so it's no wonder there's a connection between sexual tension and the frustrations that arise from disputes; make-up sex anyone? Although many of us take arguments very seriously, others see fighting simply as a means to an end: a passionate or rough romp. What about you?

Do you fight for fun or fight to win? Let's find out.

When you're in an argument with your partner, how often does it end in sex?

Every time

Sometimes, or we just end up snuggling on the couch.

Never

Does it matter who wins the argument?

Winning isn't as important as making the other person happy.

If I'm in the right, I plan on winning.

As long as we end up fooling around, I could care less.

What emotions best describe your mood during a fight?

Frustrated and determined

Energized and excited

Needy and regretful

Would you rather just have sex than fight?

Of course, but if the argument has started already, I'm in it until the end.

I definitely prefer sex.

No. There's just something about my quickened pulse that takes sex to the next level.

Do you ever start a fight just to get the sparks flying?

No, but I'll use those sparks to end the argument.

Yes. Only because it gets us both heated.

No way.
