Q I am a mostly straight, 22-year-old woman. I am a pretty GGG gal. I am generally not put off easily, even if I am told things that don’t quite do it for me. So I just started seeing this guy. I haven’t known him for long—no serious sexual activity other than mild foreplay. The […]

Don’t be doomed to lousy sex
QI’m a young, straight feminist male, and I’ve been dating my feminist girlfriend monogamously for almost two years. Recently, I’ve been coming to terms with the fact that I am turned on by rape fantasies. Of course, I find the idea of actual rape repugnant, and this is probably, of course, an important reason why […]

The honesty policy
Q My boyfriend of almost two years broke up with me yesterday over the fact that I used to be an escort. He went through my emails and saw that I was answering ads, putting ads up, sending photos. We had been planning a future together, talking about moving in, getting married, having kids. And […]

Double toil and trouble
Q I’m a 23-year-old bi dude seeing a guy who is intelligent, sweet, attractive—the works. We’ve been together for six weeks. The problem is, after our first night together, I lost sexual interest in him. When I do get horny—which is rare at the moment due to work pressures—I prefer to beat off alone, because […]

Best Artist / Band
“That’s crazy,” laughs The Stanfields’ vocalist/guitarist Jon Landry, with a sigh of disbelief, when he’s informed about the stack of golden records the band won in this year’s readers’ poll. It’s a couple of days after ripping up hotel suites at the ECMAs in Sydney and the work’s not yet over. When we speak to […]

Best Artist / Band To Enjoy Quietly
We catch up with Jenn Grant on a sunny day, walking her cute-as-sin puppy Charlie on the Common. It’s a perfect city scene from your favourite female solo artist, who was busy “planting roots in Halifax” last year. Homeownership certainly agrees with Grant, who spent a lot of time touring in 2009—including her first western […]

Best MC
Every time we hear Ghettosocks, we drool. Our Pavlovian response might be from his Treat of the Day blog posts, but most likely it’s from the Ghettosocks sandwich at Good Food Emporium: That heavenly lunch goodness came about thanks to Darren Pyper, who used to always order grilled cheese sammies and ask for avocado and […]

Best Song
We don’t make it a habit to listen to Perez Hilton, but when he declared “Through & Through & Through” a great song with “no gimmicks, just goodness,” we have to agree. This song, with Rose Cousins and Ana Egge’s harmonies, is pure sunshine. First runner-up: The Stanfields, “Ship to Shore” Second runner-up: Dog Day, […]

Best Artist / Band To Be Blown Away By
C’mon, who wouldn’t be blown away by a song called “Don’t Taze Me, Bro.” Last year the band recorded their first album, </sarcasm>, available free at inthisstyle.ca, and blew through a mini-tour of the Maritimes with their buddies Black Moor. “It was also the first time we felt like a real band with our own […]

Best Artist / Band To Dance To
This ain’t your momma’s food-container party, unless you happen to live on a super intergalactic planet. According to Jorin Caldwell, AKA Doctor Sung, the electrodance party band started off dressed in janitor suits and windbreakers, but once they decided to “take it seriously” they found shiny spandex suits on eBay that would put Daft Punk […]
