Dear Mistress Maeve, I’m a guy who could use a little help in the oral department — giving, that is. I haven't gone down on too many women, so my confidence level is rather low. (I've never brought a woman to orgasm with my tongue.) I want to please my partner, and I would appreciate any...

Dear Mistress Maeve, Recently I have noticed a startling trend in my hook-ups — blow jobs seem to have gone out of style. I am more than willing to give — even if I don't receive — but guys are turning down my offers. I don't have a snaggle-tooth, and my oral skills have gotten rave re...

 The folks over at Homotography recently featured the "Bedside Lamp" by product designer Matteo Cibic. This isn't your average reading lamp — it houses a high-grade silicon dildo in its base. Even better, when the toy is removed, the light switches from a white light to a soft ...

Dear Mistress Maeve, I'm an almost 30-year-old woman with a social quandary. A few years ago I casually hooked up with this guy a few times. We stopped hooking up when he started dating another woman seriously. No big deal; I was fine with that. However, on several occasions since then, he has a...

Congratulations to Darren Perron and the rest of the team at WCAX television on their GLAAD media award nomination. GLAAD, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, hands out annual awards to those members of the media and entertainment worlds who demonstrate "fair, accurate and inclusiv...

I thought I was going to spend this Valentine's Day alone, but thanks to PinkCherry.com, I'm going to have my dream date — with the njoy Pure Wand. This stainless steel toy has many of the same qualities I look for in a Valentine — strong, surprising and satisfying. The Pure Wand comes i...

Dear Mistress Maeve, So there I was, having sex with my man lover, when I realize that his penis is definitely not hard. So I look at him, puzzled, but instead of stopping, he continues thrusting and lets out a seemingly insincere climactic moan. Because he threw the condom away immediately, I saw n...

 I came to a conclusion this week: I'm not a fan of one-night stands. Don't get me wrong, I'm in full support of safely buying tickets to a "one night only" show; however, my vetting process is such that I usually won't sleep with someone unless I'm confident that...

Dear Mistress Maeve, A couple months ago I moved in with my boyfriend of less than a year (we're in our 40s). I felt like things were going very well, but a few days ago, I figured out — to my gut-wrenching surprise — that he secretly "chats" online with women via a commonly known ...

Dear Mistress Maeve, When I was a younger woman, I noticed that when I was on top of my male partner, I was quite wet. It didn't happen often, and I didn't give it much thought. Ten years later it happened again, and then again and again — and now, before my very eyes, I have become a full...
