This week on an AMA-version of #GIBWK, I gave advice about heartbreak, feeling good about sex, how to date, and oh-so-much-more, plus Jenny and I lost our entire minds during a discussion of Wonder Woman. FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK.
“WHY IMMEDIATELY FISTING”
May is Masturbation Month! Here’s how the AS staff does it, featuring first time stories, all the weird places we’ve masturbated, how we feel about that and more.
“Something about our conversations just makes me want to take off my underwear. And by ‘something’ I mean ‘everything.'”
Jasika Nicole got in bed with me last week and helped me give advice on longterm relationships! We talked communication, couples therapy, and that way that your gf sighs and says it doesn’t mean anything but YOU KNOW IT MEANS SOMETHING, UGH.
“i feel like one of the best parts of getting older is learning new and surprising things about yourself, like how hot older slytherin women are”
Gaby Dunn got in bed with me last week! She helped me give advice, told me all about her new book, and shared the story of the first girl she made out with in high school WHICH GOT ME FEELING A LOT OF THINGS. Also featuring Jenny Owen Youngs as bed-gargoyle.
Brittani Nichols, world-renowned heartthrob, joined me in bed last week! We talked about Suicide Kale, Take My Wife, and I horrified Brittani with ghost stories and tales of oil pulling! Woo!
This week we talked all about making friends, losing friends, coming out to friends, and even the television show F•R•I•E•N•D•S! Jenny joins to sing the theme song and inadvertently suffers the shame of realizing that she might have something in common with Ross…
NOT TWEE NORDIC LESBIANS
Mara Wilson got in bed with me, and we talked metal health, the emotional memory of elephants, sandwiches, bisexuality, and Trunchbull’s stance on the LGBTQ community. Yup.
You’re an outrageous miracle! I am so fucking glad you ate a sandwich!
Mey Rude got in bed with me and we answered all of your questions on bisexuality. We even let you know if we are real or not…
We get a lot of advice questions in the A+ box, which then turn up in “Some Answers To Some Things You’ve Been Asking Us” — but we’re changing it up! Now, some of the longer advice questions will show up in their very own A+ post. This is the first one, come inside!
“Am I only attracted to Abby Wambach?”
Last week on #GIBWK we talked about coming out to other people and tackled specifics like coming out via letter vs in person, coming out for a second time, coming out to religious family, and of course the hard-hitting issue of when I knew that my wife was gay…
“omg wtf there are so many good looking butches in that one city in maine
is there a colony?”
Last week I talked alllll about the joyous, never-stressful process of coming out to yourself. Also, Jenny joined me for a bit and shared her 1st grade daydreams of saving girls on horseback…
I got into bed with musician Allison Weiss last week to give advice on all-things-heartbreak (trusting again, healing, and putting your phone down when alllll you want to do is send that text…). Take THAT, Valentine’s Day.
Riese got into bed with Kristin! Things got super steamy! Just kidding but they did talk about mental health and self-care.
