Break differs for singles, couples
By PAIGE USYK | Mar. 5, 2008My previous Spring Breaks have been pretty typical.

College students more open to talk sex
By PAIGE USYK | Feb. 27, 2008I came to this job under the basic assumption that most of us are having sex.

Valentine’s Day trying for couples and singles
By PAIGE USYK | Feb. 13, 2008Whatever your opinion is of Valentine's Day, everyone can agree that men and women view the holiday differently.

Romance can hinder good sex
By PAIGE USYK | Feb. 6, 2008Lately, I've been thinking: do sex and romance ever co-exist?

Sauced sex spoils life
By PAIGE USYK | Jan. 16, 2008In the beginning of fall semester, I told freshmen it is acceptable to do something sexual with another person when slightly inebriated.

Want to hook up with a bud? Think again
By PAIGE USYK | Jan. 9, 2008Over drinks the other day, my girlfriend said something puzzling: "I like to sleep with my friends because I know them, but why do they always end up falling for me when I specifically tell them this isn't anything more than sex?"

These gifts can be for the naughty or nice
By PAIGE USYK | Nov. 28, 2007Every year it seems like there's more pressure to buy my loved - and sometimes not-so-loved - ones awesome, creative, flawlessly wrapped gifts. Yet even though Black Friday came and went, I have not one giveable gift.

The cyber (dating) age
By PAIGE USYK | Nov. 14, 2007There is nothing that defines relationships and sex for this generation more than Facebook.

How do you just 'know'?
By PAIGE USYK | Nov. 7, 2007You know what I hate? When people (or more often, movie characters) say, "You just know," when referring to significant others. I even had an older relative once tell me that they just knew "like you know about a good melon." But even that bewilders me - many a time I have cut open a not yet ripe cantaloupe.

For really great sex, think outside the box
By PAIGE USYK | Oct. 31, 2007Hate to break the news to you, but better sex is not going to happen just because it's harder, faster or longer (though I'll admit, those don't hurt).

If you want great sex, say 'no' to fake O's
By PAIGE USYK | Oct. 24, 2007I have only a few rules when it comes to sex and relationships. But the one that I view as my golden rule, that I treasure and adhere to religiously, that is my number one tip for both men and women having lackluster sex, is this: Never fake an orgasm.

If a 24/7 relationship is too much, consider this
By CEDRIC HARRIS | Oct. 17, 2007Ah, the eight-to-eight. It's a date, a guaranteed hook-up and a secret friend all rolled into one.

Trimming trends: hair, Nair or barely there?
By PAIGE USYK | Oct. 10, 2007There comes a time in every woman's life when she needs to make a seminal decision: full-on bush, landing strip or bare?

Don't overlook anti-heroes
By PAIGE USYK | Oct. 3, 2007Filming recently began on a big-screen adaptation to the wildly successful HBO sitcom "Sex and the City." And because I own all seven DVDs, watch the Season Two finale religiously after a breakup and use Samantha quotes as pickup lines, it pains me to admit this, but I think the fairy tale is over.

To make fantasies a reality, open up
By PAIGE USYK | Sep. 26, 2007My boy has a consistent bedtime routine: He brushes his teeth, sets his alarm and logs on to ESPN.com to check his fantasy baseball ranking and the homepage of his beloved Astros. I quickly learned I could tease him about his OCD-esque nightly redundancy, but I could never slight his Houston heroes.

In Defense of the Hookup and My Column
By PAIGE USYK | Sep. 19, 2007In the past, I have abstained from further comments on my articles. I think most speak for themselves. However, I couldn't resist defending my Sept. 19 column, "Are hookups the modern 'free love' revolution?"

Are hookups the modern 'free love' revolution?
By PAIGE USYK | Sep. 12, 2007Everywhere I turn it seems someone (usually someone older than 30) is bashing the so-called "hookup culture." And yet I know only a handful of people who don't somehow engage in it.

Saying goodbye to the single life
By PAIGE USYK | Sep. 5, 2007Originally, I had an entirely different column written and submitted to my editor. It was about trusting your gut when it comes to the dating realm.

Healthy relationships require sacrifice
By PAIGE USYK | Aug. 29, 2007Lately I've been studying my coupled-up friends, trying to dissect what exactly makes a relationship work. The cynic in me keeps coming back to the same question: What are these people giving up?
