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.

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.”

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.

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.)
