I spend way too much time on Facebook conversing with people I don’t know in real life. So I decided, why not try to change that?
Via a series of updates, I invited my Facebook friends to dinner—but only those I’d never met in person. This resulted in what had to have been the strangest party ever to descend upon the private events room of my local Mimi’s Café.

Many people search for their mates on online dating sites, but not like this.
To test how well we’re suited for each other, my wife and I created match.com profiles and let the website decide whether or not to hook us up.
Other than representing ourselves as never married and without children, everything we wrote about ourselves was the honest truth. We answered more than a dozen personal questions about our interests, our habits and what we seek in a mate.

One day, you’re watching a celebrity on your living-room TV. A week later, he’s watching that same TV with you, as your dog humps his leg.
My wife spotted George Maloof, multimillionaire tabloid fixture, at a media party in his Las Vegas casino, the Palms—recognizing him from a commercial in which he co-starred with a pig. She broke away from the chat I was conducting with other journalists and introduced herself to him as my wife.

Right now, 35 people are demanding to see my penis. That is more than have made that demand during my entire lifetime.
“Whip it out!” they’re chanting. “Whip it out!”

It’s a given that we’re willing to consider sources with dubious credentials to be experts. It’s like we want to believe that Dr. Phil is a licensed psychologist and that Wikipedia isn’t compiled by crazy people.
But just how far are we willing to stretch that desire to believe in the people telling us how to eat, vote, love, raise children, and choose investments?

It hasn’t been a full life if somebody hasn’t hated you enough to sprint 1,000 feet down a 30-degree embankment, filled with loose rocks and cactus and ending at the shoulder of a major freeway, rather than remain inside a car with you.
This was how my first date with Caryn ended. She was an adorable, 22-year-old redhead I had met at some music-industry function. I was 30 at the time. We hit it off and I asked her to the opening of B.B. King’s Blues Club Universal Studios Hollywood.

I have a serious drinking problem. I refuse to partake from my wife’s glass.
Like an otherwise normal person, I will swap spit during a kiss, since I am in love. However, imagine bottoming up an empty glass that your loved one has spit repeatedly into. Gross, right? That is exactly how I feel about doing the champagne switch toast.

As many Americans re-evaluate their thoughts on male circumcision—and there’s an ongoing debate about whether circumcision is necessary—it’s too late for most of us who were subjected without a say in the issue. Or is it?
A company called Foregen claims it will be able to grow a custom-made foreskin in a lab, in the not-too-distant future, using your own stem cells, and surgically “re”-attach it to your penis.

Is there a more romantic way to spend a wedding anniversary than at the AVN Awards?
Initially, I saw a conflict between covering the annual Las Vegas porn extravaganza and celebrating my 11th anniversary, which fell on the same weekend. Then, I realized that I could combine the two, and use the opportunity to have porn stars offer us some marital guidance.

Remember the illogical question Captain Kirk asked that evil floating robot that made its head smoke? Here’s one for your favorite vegan.
All vegans go out of their way to avoid ingesting animal products—even cage-free eggs, milk and honey. But boy, is there a sticky situation for those with male sex partners: Semen is not plant-based. And, depending on whether teeth are involved, it may not even be cruelty-free.
