@Cosmopolitan

Tbh I never thought I’d do one of these but… SOME NEWS! One week from today I will be starting as
@Cosmopolitan
’s new Associate Sex & Relationships Editor! Obviously nothing short of a dream and I am beyond excited to be joining such a talented team at this iconic publication.
Just because I am a sex writer in New York DOES NOT mean I am “just like Carrie Bradshaw.” I am just like Carrie Bradshaw because I’m in credit card debt and have a bad personality.
Wrote about Sylvia Plath’s Food Diary (

), which provides a uniquely peaceful kind of pleasure that is hard to come by — especially on Twitter. Thanks for the interview

As far as I can tell the main benefit of being in a relationship is having something normal to say when your coworkers ask about your weekend. You can be like “Joe and I went for a hike upstate!” instead of like “I had unprotected sex with a stranger from the internet.”
Sorry but until you’ve had to google “If you have sex with two guys in one night and take plan b after the first guy do you have to take it again after the second guy” you have not had a “slut era.”
Are you a person who has somehow managed to meet a romantic partner in real life? (i.e. not on a dating app/in a DM slide/otherwise on the internet.) Hit me up at kayla.kibbe

On the evening Robert Mueller submitted his report to the Justice Department, President Trump was on the tiled patio of Mar-a-Lago, bathed in golden light, with his wife and son Barron, who had reached teenagerhood two days earlier
Sometimes the column is about banging old dudes and sometimes it’s about how ugly and mentally ill I am, I don’t make the rules. (JK I literally make the rules and the rules are: it’s my column and I’ll do whatever the hell I want with it.)
For a long time I thought the Property Brothers were an attractive gay couple despite the fact that their relationship is defined in the title and also they are obviously identical twins.
Publicly mourning a celebrity death goes against everything I believe in but I have some very fond memories of my dad driving me to school circa 5th grade and playing his bat out of hell cassette and that is all.
Hey everyone, look at this sexist piece of shit who just emailed my entire editorial team to let them know, “with all due respect” to my dumb “female journalist” brain, that I can’t possibly understand sex BECAUSE I’M “NOT A GUY” WHO’S “WIRED TO BE HORNY” ?????????????????
In college I got paid to ghostwrite those long recipe intros everyone hates. We hate them too. They’re not even real. We also don’t care about this cutesy story about our husband and kids. There is no husband and kids. They’ve been dead for years.
I made some dude on Bumble buy the
@sosadtoday
book and it’s definitely the most good I’ve ever done on a dating app / the most competent thing I’ve ever witnessed a man do.

@Cosmopolitan
, I’m looking to hear from women and non-binary people about what’s turning you on rn. New fantasies, kinks, turn-ons etc. Bonus points for wild/kinky/unexpected, but most importantly, I’m looking for REAL! DMs open & yes, you can be anon!
Guys think it’s sooo hot when you’re not wearing underwear on a date but what they don’t realize is that actually I just haven’t done laundry in weeks and there is simply no underwear to be had.
A flight getting cancelled is a lot like getting broken up with. It’s upsetting and confusing and you feel like you deserve an explanation but you’re probably not going to get one.
One of my favorite broke bitch behaviors from when I first moved to New York as an intern was going to the nearest Sephora before a date and spraying myself with the perfume samples and sometimes I kind of miss it. (I’m still broke btw I’m just financially irresponsible now.)
I don’t respect people who have to listen to music in the shower. Like really? You’re that scared of being alone with your thoughts? Get in there and face the void like an adult.
The cute doctor who just scraped out my cervix really said, “Is this gonna be an article.” Like yes, I actually got HPV for the plot. Anyway I hope he thought my cervix was sexy.
Some random bitch on Instagram with 24 followers and her wedding date in her bio just commented on one of my posts from 7 months ago to tell me I “look 39 years old” and this is the most random, cold-blooded act of violence I have ever witnessed.
Little girl across from me on the train just pointed to me and said “I would NEVER paint my nails black.” Like bitch hate to break it to you but just you fucking wait.
Never in my wildest sex writer dreams did I foresee the day THE
@GigiEngle
would call me a “brilliant freaky weirdo.” If anyone needs me, I’ll be dying in peace (right after I finish editing her piece about alien dildos)
May have implied that if
@Kay_Kibbe
doesn’t laugh at this I will end my life. Yes, this brilliant freaky werido is editing my piece on alien dildos m - and it is in fabulous hands, when I pitched it her response was “aliens dildos? How can I resist.” My dream gal.
Is it hot girl summer to throw up into a trash can on the side of a very busy street in midtown while hungover at 9 AM on your way to work? Asking for myself.
I know that I love New York because I no longer notice the large piles of garbage that frequently line the streets and that’s how I imagine marriage must work.
CONFESSAY PITCH CALL: SUMMER
The horniest time of the year is upon us, and I would love to hear about your sultriest summer sexcapades. (They don’t necessarily *have* to be summer-themed, BTW, send me whatever you got, just make it hot 🔥.) Pitch me at Kayla.Kibbe

All coffee shops need to play their music like 40% quieter. The cool millennial customers you're trying to attract don't actually want an "all the noise of the club at your local coffee shop at 9AM" vibe, we just want a quiet place to do work away from our 17 roommates.
Wrote about how the “girl next door” image so integral to the Playboy brand was mostly a bunch of whorephobic nonsense designed to control and exploit female sexuality under the guise of liberation.
