Gossipable!

1. “Call me pr#de, but I was low-key terrified to 69. I just thought it’d be rhythmically awkward and totally unattractive. Turns out, it’s a blast! Nobody gives a shit what you look like mid-bone, and going down on each other at the same time makes the act way more pleasurable for both parties.” — Adira, 21 2. “Having s#x with girls!” — Becca, 23 Click to continue

I was falling and scared. No matter what I did, I couldn’t stop myself. It was dark and cold and there seemed to be people around, but I didn’t know any of them. They didn’t seem to care that I was falling either. I could see the ground below me and braced for impact. Just as I hit the pale grey pavement-I…woke up. Whew. I was damp and disoriented, but as if by instinct, John put his arm around me, still asleep. The weight of his arm was always so comforting. I remember when we first started dating, it didn’t matter if he fell asleep on me in the most uncomfortable position, I wouldn’t move a muscle in fear he would wake and release me from his grip.

1. “No, just no.” –Kevin, 22 2. “Never ever. Not even if someone paid me.” –Andrew, 26 3. “How do they feel about a broken finger?” –Mark, 24 4. “I’ve never done it, but I’d like to try. I think it would be interested to see what it feel like, but I’d never ask someone to finger my a$$.” –Bill, 29 Click to continue

1. “She was very into me f#ngering her in public. Like if we were closer than normal in a b##th somewhere, there’s a solid chance I was f#nger-b#nging her. Sorry to all of my friends who went to bars with us whose girlfriends I met and shook hands with during that time. My bad.” — Kyle, 27 2. “Spontaneous an#l. No clue how or why I let her go. Have you had an#l on a random Tuesday? I have.” — Dalton, 24 Click to continue

1. “There’s no nice way to say this but she changed too much. She went from being that chill, fun girl that I fell in love with to someone who always seemed like she wanted to tell me how I was doing something wrong or could do better. I couldn’t take it anymore. No one wants to be constantly lectured and nagged at by someone who is supposed to just love them.” — Adam, 27 2. “We just grew apart. We started dating at the beginning of college and by junior year we weren’t the same people who we were when we’d started dating. By the end we were more like best friends than people in a relationship.” — Zach, 24 3. “I was interested in someone else, and one day that other girl I wanted to get with was on the market so I went for it. It sucks but it is what it is.” — Kyle, 27 4. “We stopped having fun. We both grew too content in our routine that was actually a rut and I stopped being excited to see her, excited to be with her. And eventually, that translated into stopped being in love with h...

1. He reached a hand under my sk#rt and played with my cl#t while everyone else on the train went about their business, oblivious to the tiny m#ans that slipped from my lips as I threw my head back in org#sm. 2. I could feel his c#ck pulsing between my l#ps as the sweet taste of s#men dr#pped down my thr#at. Click to continue

It had been a long weekend since I sl#pt with my boss — since he caught me in a very compromising p#sition and finished the act himself — but I was still surprised that I hadn’t heard from him right away afterward. I’m not sure what I expected, flowers on my desk, a proclamation of love, a promotion (?), a wink as he walked by? This was all new territory for me. Click to continue

When I was having an aff@ir with my best friend’s dad, he liked to have his d#ck inside me even when we weren’t actively having s#x. Isn’t that weird? He said he liked the idea of me being “full.” He’d have me sit on his lap at the desk in his lake house facing away from him, towards the large monitor on his desk. He’d make me try to write papers that way, for as long as I could stand it. I wasn’t supposed to move my h#ps at all or r#de him, but the impulse once he was inside me was almost uncontrollable. I couldn’t stand not to. Click to continue

Each Wednesday, Cosmopolitan.com will be publishing one excerpt from an exceptional Wattpad fiction story. This week, The Lemon, a very hot story by @-LizzieBrooks-. Tessa was everything Wyatt looked for in a woman: She was beautiful, smart as hell, self-confident without being a jerk, and had these boobs that seemed to hang in the air in front of her body as easily as they floated constantly through his thoughts. Tess and Wyatt had been flirting shamelessly for weeks now. Click to continue

Staring down at a hard p#nis, knowing that in the next few seconds that thing will be in your mouth, can be intimidating. Like, every single time, not just the first time you give a bl#w j#b. But don't worry, it gets better, and like all things in life, experience is so valuable when it comes to Ds in mouths. Also, if it doesn't get better, just don't give bl#w j#bs. Men will live. To help ease your pre-B.J. woes, here are 16 things grown women wish they'd known before giving their first bl#w j#bs. Click to continue 

Nothing ruins the blissful afterglow of s#x like discovering a big ol' pimple. How did it get there? And, more importantly, how can you get rid of it before round two? While s#x can do a lot of good for your mind and body (Lower blood pressure! More brain power! Increased immunity!) it might also be the root of the pimples that seem to keep popping up every time you look in the mirror. "There's no concrete evidence that s#xual activity can aggravate acne," says Kseniya Golubets, MD, a dermatology specialist in Pittsburgh. "But we know that acne is multifactorial." Basically, straight-up p#nis in v#gina, or v#gina on v#gina, or any combination of body parts that gets you going, isn't magically going to produce blackheads. However, certain aspects of s#x definitely could. Cosmopolitan.com broke down the six biggest culprits below: 1. Sweat Click to continue reading

S#x on your p#riod: to some, NBD, to others, a cautious "No thank you, please." But p#riod s#x in general has a lot to recommend it. You're less apt to get pr#gnant (still need birth control though), it can help relieve cr#mps, you're more lubed up, and some women report having extra incredible org#sms. So if you and your partner are willing to give it a go, here's what's gonna work. But first, some helpful reminders: You can always put down a towel or something in case there's a little spotting, and if you're apprehensive to begin with, start on a light fl#w day.

A man has been accused of groping the woman sleeping next to him on a flight from California to New Jersey, then offering to buy her friend a drink after she woke up so they'd "forget about the incident," People reports. The victim claims that Veerabhadrarao Kunam, 58, massaged her "private parts and buttocks" through her clothes while she was sleeping, then began to rub his bare feet against hers. When she woke up, Kunam was still groping her, and she immediately asked to switch seats with her friend, who was seated by the window and also witnessed the assault. When the two confronted him, Kunam allegedly said that "he wanted everyone to forget about the incident and offered to buy [the friend] a drink for any trouble he may have caused." Instead, they alerted an attendant on the Virgin America flight, who promptly moved Kunam to another seat. Along with monitoring him for the duration of the flight, the crew also then called law enforcement, who arre...

Margaret* knew exactly how she wanted her wedding day to go and what she wanted to wear, which was definitely not the traditional white gown. In fact, there was no wedding dress shopping at all. She didn't go to a bridal store with a group of her closest friends and family. There was no teary-eyed moment where she said yes to the dress. Instead, she bought her wedding attire from a catalog without even trying on the clothes first. She will be wearing a long white skirt with one ruffle at the bottom paired with a sky-blue crochet top and fresh flowers to contrast against her dark hair. "I didn't want to get a big white dress," she says. "Maybe if I were younger, but I'm just too old." Margaret currently lives alone and plans for it to stay that way until after the wedding. And that's in part because the couple takes the whole "no s#x before marriage" thing very seriously — in fact, the bride is still a v#rgin. The venue for the wedding is th...

It's 2016, which means women are kicking a$$, running for president, and, sure, carrying c#ndoms. Duh. While there shouldn't be a stigma against anyone who's prepared for safe s#x, c#ndom company Sustain wanted to address the weird tab00 that targets women in particular. So to demystify this age-old double standard, CEO of Sustain, Meika Hollender, took to the street to ask men how they feel about women who carry c#ndoms on the regular. Click to continue

Done right and with a partner you're ~into~, consensual s#x is supposed to be a fun thing that makes you feel hot and great. That might lead you to believe it could only ever leave you happy, and never sad. But thanks to a brand new area of research into the variety of responses humans have after s#x, researchers know this isn't necessarily true for what could be half of the general, s#x-having population.

Once it was clear that I wasn't going to say yes to Vic's proposal, things wrapped up quickly. Carter's parents beat it back to the Upper East Side, their chauffeured Mercedes practically laying down skid marks. Vic left with an irritated scowl, a diamond ring in his pocket that could have paid my college debt and my rent for a year. The crowd dispersed, someone turned off the Chloe light show, and the gawkers found something else interesting. Carter and I just stared at each other: two awkward people with no clear direction. "So." He finally said. "Yeah." That was my brilliant response. Honestly, I was too tired to apologize. Too emotional. I was still upset about his lies, or omissions — the fact that he never told me that his parents owned the building we lived in, that he'd grown up just as pampered as I had. Along with being tired, I was vulnerable, rubbed raw by a heartfelt public display of affection from a man I had once loved deeply. "I...

Sure, there are a lot of double standards when it comes to the way men and women approach s#x (orgasm deficit is one huge one), but there are also a lot of straight-up misconceptions about how women really feel about it. Women don't hate s#x, women don't need to be in love to have s#x, and women do not care about your penis size. Wouldn't it be great if this could all be cleared up? 1. I'm not going to automatically fall in love and start planning a wedding because you gave me an orgasm. This whole idea about how girls get "so attached" after you have s#x with them one single time is BS. I'm a person with ~*~needs~*~, just like you. Click to continue

In the past couple years, l#sbian po#n has emerged as a popular search term for millennial women. It's the most sought category for P#rnhub's female viewers, and of 4,000 readers surveyed by Cosmopolitan.com in 2014, 84% of straight women had watched l#sbian p#rn, and 20.3% preferred it. In this week's S#x Talk Realness, we reached out to straight women who watch l#sbian p#rn to see what draws them to the genre, and how it impacts their s#xuality. How old are you? Woman A: 28-ish.

One of the benefits of living in the digital age is that two people can (kind of) get it on whenever, wherever, through their phones or the internet. S#xting (sending suggestive photos, videos, and messages) is something that many couples choose to do, but researchers Rob Weisskirch, Michelle Drouin, and Rakel Delevi of California State University decided to take a closer look at why people s#xt and what it says about their relationships. Specifically, the researchers were interested in learning how relationship anxiety factored into people's decision to s#xt their partner. Did it come from a place of comfort or fear? To get a better idea of their motives, they gave 459 unmarried, heteros#xual, undergraduate students an online survey that measured their "s#xting behaviors, relationship commitment needed to engage in s#xting, their fear of being single, their dating anxiety and their attachment style (secure or insecure)."
