You party animals! Most of you are…not doing a damn thing for Valentine’s Day. Zip, zilch, zero, according to Sex + Dating survey-takers. Maybe V-Day isn’t a big deal for most folks these days. Alternatively, perhaps you’re all losers. Who’s to say? Not us, we who will be spending Valentine’s Day queuing up outside the […]

Halifax’s sexual soundtrack
This year’s Sex+Dating survey respondents had a variety of musical tastes (to say the least) to get down and dirty to, but some of you don’t enjoy rocking out during the deed at all. “I don’t listen to music when I have sex,” writes one reader. “You miss the signs and sounds your partner makes. That’s […]

[Image-1] How many people have you slept with? The first time hubby and I broached this topic we were dating a week or two and I avoided it because I knew anything close to the truth was going to cause a problem, and I really liked this guy. I had no issue with my number, no […]

What’s the biggest question you have about sex and dating?
[Image-10] After asking you a bazillion nosy questions about your wants, needs, parts and partners, it was only fair that we opened the floor for questions from the Sex + Dating survey-takers. But because we’re not Dan Savage, we don’t have the answers to these questions (except for the herpes one, the answer is NOW). […]

What does your partner do during sex that drives you wild?
[Image-11] So how does Halifax get its jollies? In this year’s Sex + Dating survey, our readers kindly peeled back the covers and anonymously revealed all the juicy (sometimes literally juicy) details—the grabbing, moaning, nibbling and sucking—that make them weak in the knees.

What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done to get back at an ex?
[Image-15] Revenge is a dish best served cold, and we had to bundle up to tabulate the results of one loaded question from our Sex + Dating Survey—”What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done to get back at an ex?” Among the many angels who claimed they aren’t “that kind of person” were a ton […]

Good enough to eat
There are two types of people in the world. One thinks that it’s really sexy when young Mickey Rourke pops olives and strawberries into Kim Basinger’s trembling mouth and drizzles honey all over her body in the dim light of an open fridge. And the other thinks that chugging a glass of whole milk and […]

The New Year’s Eve single’s drinking game
Being single for the holidays can feel lonely, especially at a New Year’s Eve party when the clock strikes 12 and you’re watching all the couples kiss and celebrate another year of love.

Welcome to university, now dump your boyfriend
[Image-1] College life has more than earned its widely purported reputation. There’s the top-notch education it instills in the leaders of tomorrow, and also all that wonderful, selfish lust-filled living provided alongside the overpriced academia, dingy dorms and calorically ignorant meal plans. It makes sense that any 18-year-old who’s living away from their parents’ place […]
