Today I have a story called "Today I’m Your Friend Who’s Way Too Comfortable Talking About Masturbation." Thanks so much to the madman Dmitriy Kogan for publishing this sexy little baby. Would especially love if you read it at work or church, around your children, or maybe for your own TMI friend.

Remember back when as a young man you learned that cootchie could be both: vagina & the thing you said to babies before you said coo and then tickled them. But you couldn’t say cootchie coo to a woman’s vagina without it being awkard?
