Old and “unpalatable” – really?
Even bad press is good press, but still – why are vulva puppets "unpalatable"?

IDS friends with benefits article
Several months ago I was interviewed for an article about friends with benefits for Indiana University’s IDS (the student newspaper). You can read the full article – and a few of my own and others’ thoughts on the topic – on their web site here.

That said, I think it’s important to keep in mind what you want in life. If you are aiming for a committed monogamous relationship with someone who is totally in love with you, then a friends with benefits situation might not be the easiest, most pleasurable or skill-building pathway to that.
