Why do smart, strong, feminist women get hot for rogues and Lotharios, sexy but selfish bad boys who use women and throw them away?
The new season of Mad Men is upon us: the brilliant, beautiful...

I heard the song on the radio before I saw the video. I was deeply unnerved when I heard Rihanna's voice singing, "Just gonna stand there and watch me burn. But that's alright because I like the...

“So what do you do?” is a question I get asked a lot at the pub in London. Generally I size the person up and decide how far up the exposure scale I want to go (if you’re curious, from least to...

Way back over a half-year ago, when I started writing for CarnalNation, my very first column, "Marriage, Shmarriage," bemoaned the queer movement's glorification of the bourgeois model of...

I'm having mixed feelings about promoting this new documentary film Island by 25-year-old filmmaker Ryan Sullivan (pictured below right). It started as a documentary about the notorious San...

Restoration. Sovereignty. I strongly associate these words with sexual healing. But these words also ripple through me today in a special way. Today, July 31st, is Restoration Day in Hawai’i,...
