Last week, WIM posted two articles concerning child support. One was from a man’s point of view and the other from a woman’s. It should’ve been expected that each gender would have differing views on the topic. Somewhat surprisingly, there were people in the comment sections of each piece that agreed with the other sex’s [...]
Last week, Dr. J wrote a post on the New NYC Teen Pregnancy Prevention Ads. At some point during the day, a debate on the role of child support erupted in the comment section. In reading these comments, I realized very quickly that men and women have very different views on the role of child [...]
To gain a better insight on the male perspective of marriage than the usual “more oral, more relations,” I asked the fellas to provide tips that had nothing to do with sex. Although this restriction forced them to take a bit longer to respond, here is a compilation list of what they told me in [...]
According to Nick Cannon, he waited until the marriage night to finally have sex with Mariah Carey. Now that’s not to say some things didn’t go down beforehand, but still… I’m not sure that many of us have that power in us to wait until marriage to get in those jeans.

I wonder if that’s an appropriate title for Olivia. If you haven’t caught the show yet, Scandal airs on Thursdays at 10PM on ABC and [...]
Friend: I went ring shopping the other day fam. Found the perfect ring. Made that cop. Me: Oh word? You wife-seeking ass negro. I knew you’d be next. When you planning to take a knee? Probably in a couple weeks when I head to DC for her graduation. Spoke to her pops last night. Word? [...]
I’ve managed to stay away from writing about relationships so far during this 30 posts in 30 days journey that I’m on.
