Q My boyfriend and I have “history.” We dated casually and weren’t ready to stop seeing other people, so we had an open relationship. This phase was awful: lots of fights, a couple minor breakups, and eventually I called it quits, cutting off all contact. A month later, we started talking again and decided to commit for reals. No fucking around this time. This is his first monogamous relationship, and while he claims to miss the variety, he says he wouldn’t trade having me for having it.

People in monogamous relationships get cheated on, OMT, even though their partners understand that it’s not OK to fuck around. So keeping the relationship officially monogamous doesn’t necessarily protect you from infidelity. Keeping it honest, keeping it communicative, and being in a relationship with someone trustworthy does.

About a year ago, when Santorum first leaked . . . er, signaled his intention to run, I asked if any of my readers had a desire to blog at spreadingsantorum.com, my long-dormant Santorum-bashing/redefining blog. It’s still the number one Internet search result for Santorum and in the top three for Rick Santorum. (This has been described as Santorum’s “serious Google problem” by political reporters and bloggers.)
And speaking of vibrators: Taylor Momsen, one of the stars of Gossip Girl, recently “divulged” to Disorder Magazine that her “best friend” is her vibrator. Fox News wrote up the “scandal,” of course, but got quotes only from antisex nutters: batshit Catholic reactionary Bill Donohue, conservative radio yakker Michael Medved, an elderly grandmother who runs a parenting organization, and some douchebag from the National Center for Biblical Parenting who predicted that Momsen’s actions “will result in failure in her life.”
