  • Men Just Don't Trust Women. And This Is A Problem

    It took five months of marriage, eight months of being engaged, and another year of whatever the hell we were doing before we got engaged for me to learn something about my wife. Actually, that’s misleading. I’ve learned many things about my wife in that time period. I learned that she owns both a snuggie and…

  • No, Seriously. What The Fuck Happens On A $700 Date?

    After hearing about the $700 date heard ’round the internet, I was initially going to do a forensic examination on each of the details about this situation; a deconstruction of all the indications that these people live much, much different lives than I do. I was going to note how Dede Damati (the model who outed…

  • Ray Rice Deserves A Second Chance…Just Not With Janay Rice

    In the next couple of months, former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice will continue to receive interest from NFL teams. In fact, there are a few teams who’ve reportedly already discussed the prospect of bringing him in. Someone — or several someones — will likely eventually invite him to their team’s facility for an…

  • Does "Good P*ssy" Exist? A VSB Special Investigation

    (An email we received last week) After reading your post about Olivia “Puddles” Pope and her sex chat with Babyface Fitz, I started thinking about good pussy. Fitz and Jake (and possibly Harrison for all we know, R.I.P.) are clearly addicted to Olivia. Now, I’m sure they’re attracted to who Olivia is as a person,…

  • Yes, I'm Single. No, I Don't Need Your Dating Advice

    We singles and marrieds with no kids (or not enough kids for your taste) are tired of the questions about why we’re still single or still childless. We’re tired of the assumptions. We’re tired of the unsolicited “advice.” Actually, let’s rewind. Let me not speak for anyone but myself. Let me explain to you why…

  • #ThxBirthControl, Because Making Love Is Awesome. Making Babies?…Maybe Later

    Sex! Who doesn’t like it? Disaffected TV housewife stereotypes with diminishing libidos? The castrati? Everyone else though? Everyone else is pretty into it. Way into it. Maybe “a little too into” considering Kim Kardashian’s entire career trajectory. But would we and our raging hormones, really have it any other way? This is why birth control…

  • The 10 Best Things About Sex That Have Nothing To Do With The Actual Sex

    Watching Olivia “Puddles” Pope get all hot and bothered while Fitz was teasing her on the phone last night on Scandal made me think of two things: A) Good thing she’s not wearing white pants today. B) There are many great things about intimacy and sex that don’t involve the actual physical act of having sex. Here’s…

  • Being A Husband Means You Kill The Maggots

    Like many other public speakers, the pastor at my church loves to use metaphors and analogies when he speaks. A reading from scripture where Jesus played pick-up basketball with Paul is really a lesson about sacrifice. A story about that time John the Baptist got sick after eating too much kettle corn is really an…

  • Eight Dumb-Ass Sexual Myths (Some) People Somehow Still Believe

    Last week’s episode of Key & Peele featured a hilarious skit where a gay man was invited to a Black family’s home to speak to them about how to act at a gay wedding. Included were questions about pony shows, “gay sections,” couscous, and a perfectly deadpan Lance Reddick reminding everyone why he should have…

  • Love & Hip Hop Hollywood Ep. 4 Recap: These *CENSORED* Ain't Loyal…Or Listening

    Once again it’s on. My favorite Monday night adventure came through with the boomboompow. We’ve got at least 2 drinks thrown and it would have been 3 if a certain fake-me-out hoodrat wasn’t pregnant and infused with temporary common sense. Temporary. Because VH1 hates us just a little bit, we had no Ray J sightings…
