“He told me he was 6 feet 2. Maybe it was a typo, but when he showed up for our date, he was a solid 5 feet 2.” —MIKAYLA B., 25 “He picked me up for our date in his car. I looked over, and there was a used condom stuck to the side of the center console. That date ended quickly.” —LINDSEY E., 26 “He was 45 minutes late. The first thing he said was ‘Nice titty balls,’ and he wouldn’t take his eyes off my chest. At the end, he made a scene, screaming over the cost of our drinks.” —CALEN B., 30 “My date didn’t want to pay for a cab, so we walked—for miles! Then he started literally pushing me along.” —MALLORY R., 24 “We went…

REBEKAH RENNICK WAS SITTING IN A BATHROOM STALL WHEN SHE GOT THE BIGGEST IDEA OF HER LIFE. It was September 2013, two weeks into her freshman year at Grinnell College in Iowa. She had ducked out of class after realizing with a groan that she was getting her period. She was far from her dorm room, with no change for the tampon machine and a spankingnew backpack, which she’d yet to stock with supplies. As she stuffed a wad of toilet paper in her underwear and hurried back to the lecture hall, Rennick started to wonder: Why should any woman feel such angst over something that happens on a monthly basis? The longer she sat, the more she seethed. “It just didn’t make sense to me that we have to…

HOTTER THESE TIPS ARE DESIGNED TO MAKE WHEN YOU’VE BEEN DATING FOR. . . DAYS SEND A STRATEGIC TEXT Anticipation is half the fun, so on the morning of your date, text what you’re most looking forward to—like “I just want to feel you on top of me”—using emoji as needed. He won’t be able to think about anything except what he wants to do to you. KISS LIKE YOU MEAN IT! Crank up the sexual tension with fluttery, innocent, mouth-closed pecks. As you get to the make-out zone, suck deeply on his tongue for a couple of seconds, then let go. Not so innocent! He’ll die to see what else you have in store. SLO-MO YOUR SEX Start with a sultry strip-down, one item at a time, until he’s…

MEN ARE SIMPLE creatures who want sex all the time. They don’t give much thought to what their partner wants. Their sexuality is aggressive and dominating. These are some of the commonly held stereotypes about male sexuality. As a society, we collectively agree that women’s sexuality is nuanced and complex but men’s is simple. That’s actually not the case, and debunking a few key myths can help us navigate the tricky terrain of relationships and sex. Why do these myths exist in the first place? Because the majority of studies on male sexuality are done on college guys, so we know very little about the psychology of sex in men in their 20s, 30s, and beyond. The assumption is that men always feel desire, so why study them? This is…

Q / I FINALLY HOOKED UP WITH THIS GUY. WE WEREN’T EXCLUSIVE YET, SO I FELT LIKE I COULDN’T BE MAD WHEN I WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING AND NOTICED WOMEN’S EARRINGS ON HIS NIGHTSTAND. IS THAT SOMETHING I SHOULD’VE CONFRONTED HIM ABOUT? AND WHAT’S A COOL WAY TO BE LIKE, “WTF, WHO DO THESE BELONG TO?” A You don’t have to choose between ignoring the obvious and starting a fight. Instead, tease him: “Oh, I didn’t know you wear women’s earrings.…” Better yet, just call it like you see it: “Whose earrings are those?” Either way, do ask him the most important question: “Do you have a girlfriend?” Q/ Is it okay to feel jelly over your male best friend’s new girlfriend? I don’t want to date him, but…

It was the cataclysmic event felt around the world— Brad and Angelina calling it quits after 12 years together, 2 of them married. Their split so shattered the collective psyche, we all but forgot how their love story began: with many blaming Angie for using her sexual superpowers to steal Brad away from America’s sweetheart, Jennifer Aniston. In the hours after the Brangelina news broke, the internet churned out rumors of an on-set romance between Pitt and his Allied costar, French actress Marion Cotillard. But the rampant speculation was quickly abandoned when info surfaced about Brad’s alleged (but unproven at press time) bad behavior, including too much partying and too little patience with his kids. Suddenly, the story took a very different shape—one that prompted us to investigate why the…

MAKE A CHANGE SOONER RATHER THAN LATER My dad, who was an entrepreneur, always encouraged taking chances. He’d say, “What’s the worst that could happen?” After law school, I put on my power suit and worked at a series of law firms. By the time I was at my third in six years, it dawned on me that a traditional law job wasn’t for me. I was living in Dallas, and everyone was talking about this entrepreneur Mark Cuban, who was starting a streamingcontent company that would later become Broadcast.com. We happened to work out at the same gym, so when I saw him there, I summoned my courage, went up to him, and said, “I would love to understand what you guys are doing and how I might help.”…

ON HIS FIRST SONG “It was called ‘My Dumb Ol’ Heart.’ I’d never even kissed a girl, but I was still able to romanticize about what I thought it would feel like.” BACKUP CAREER “I thought about working with my dad, who was a salmon fisherman. I used to go out on the boat with him. That’s actually where I got my first kiss, because it’s tradition to kiss the first catch of the day. It was uphill from there.” FIRST CONCERT “MC Hammer with En Vogue. I went because Vanilla Ice was supposed to open, but he canceled at the last minute.” ON EARLY FAME “I’ll never forget the first time I heard myself on the radio.

YOU WANT Skin That Looks Lit A-LIST ANSWER: Red-Light Facial “Light-emitting diodes, a type of infrared light, have been proven to increase the energy in living tissue,” says Joanna Vargas, who is famous for her LED facials.

E -MAIL YOUR SEX QUESTIONS TO SEXQANDA @COSMOPOLITAN.COM. Q I keep having dreams where I’m having crazy-hot sex with my ex. Does this mean I’m hung up on him? A Even though Google would have you believe that a dream about losing your teeth actually means you’re pregnant, most of our sleeping thoughts—even sexy ones—are symbolic and don’t translate literally to the real world. So, no reason to fret over your ex dreams. “Your brain may just be using a scenario with your ex to work out a feeling or desire,” says psychiatrist and sex therapist Madeleine Castellanos, MD. “It doesn’t necessarily mean you want to have sex with him.” Instead of interpreting the details, think more about how you felt during the dream, suggests Dr. Castellanos. If it pissed…

I had been squatting, but in my rush to cover up, I slipped. The back of my dress fell into the unflushed toilet. I tried to clean it with soap, but I had to spend the rest of the party in a smelly, damp dress.

1. Your “Seeking” Styles Are Out of Sync If you’re an explorer at heart— nothing makes you happier than new places and experiences—and he’s content watching Seinfeld reruns on the couch with his best friends from preschool, consider that a red flag. If you’re all about the new and he’s addicted to the old, you’ll be in an endless tug-of-war. 2. He Never Leaves Your Side The guy who wants to spend all his time with you may seem romantic, but he’s also the guy who’ll try to stop you from doing anything that doesn’t involve him. If he presses you to ditch hobbies, passions, and friends, it’s time to ditch him. 3. You Wish He Were a Little More Motivated If you find yourself annoyed at his lazy tendencies…

I felt like such a dick.” —JAKE W., 23 “In high school, I gave my GF these cool (I thought) pajama pants that read, ‘Don’t stop till ya get enough.’ She burst out laughing. Not the…

With her hit show, hot husband, and irresistibly hilarious perspective on life, Chrissy Teigen has crossed over from supermodel to major star. Behold, one of the most candid interviews we’ve ever conducted. I’m struggling with whether or not to tell Chrissy Teigen her nipple is exposed. Last night, she and her musician husband, John Legend, celebrated their anniversary—3 years married, 10 years together—over a fancy Italian dinner. And now, during her enthusiastic recap of the 100-layer lasagna, the open neckline of her slip dress has gone from being a sexy suggestion to fully surrendering its borders. But Chrissy’s on a roll. She tells me how she thinks anniversaries are weird and silly and how it’s impossible to shop for her multi-Grammyaward-winning other half (she wanted to put a bow on…

Andrea Tantaros was a rising star at Fox News, a political analyst and cohost of the popular show The Five, when she says the powerful head of the company, Roger Ailes, began sexually harassing her. As she alleges in an ongoing lawsuit, he asked her to spin around to show him her body, to wear a tighter dress, and to hug him, in addition to prying into her love life, speculating about how she would look in a bikini, and asking her to discuss the sex lives of other employees. “Flagrant misogyny, that was the environment,” she says. Tantaros alleges she reported the harassment and was first ignored, then later told to drop it because Ailes was a powerful man. But she didn’t drop it. “I don’t care how much…
