If you ask someone out for coffee, is it the same as asking them out for a beer? More serious, or less serious?
It's more intellectual and professional to ask someone out for coffee, but less romantically serious.
Tea drinkers vs. coffee drinkers vs. energy-drink drinkers, what are they like in bed?
Tea drinkers are more conservative, more egalitarian, or. . . it's a mean thing to say, but maybe they're just more vanilla. Coffee people are going to be more nervous and high-strung. Energy-drink people, who knows?

If I sleep over at someone's house, like a one-night stand, and I have five minutes in their bathroom, is it okay for me to use their hair products?
Oh, yeah, totally. Why not? It's a fun little experimentation with someone else's habits. I've been with my boyfriend six years and marriage is probably coming up, but before I get married I want to have one last fling — with a girl. Should I tell my fiance?
I think you have to tell him. It could bring you closer together to share that side of yourself.
What fetish is the most overrated?
Feet. I've never experienced the foot thing, but people seem to talk about it a lot.
I'm in love with my best friend, but she's engaged to the biggest douchebag on the planet. I've told her how I feel but she's not convinced. I know they're wrong for each other. What can I do? You can't do anything. Your friends get pissy if you start talking about how you don't like their men. You can say something, but you can't keep saying things, because that's going to hurt your friendship. But don't forget her. Be there for her. She'll figure it out.
Zimmy, 21 I sleep over at someone's house and in the morning my hair's all screwed up. I've got five minutes in their bathroom — is it cool to use their stuff to straighten my look?
I always look in the medicine cabinet and see what drugs are in there. I wouldn't use someone's hair products, because they just mimic what not washing your hair does anyway.
You see people at their most vulnerable all the time: in the morning, before their coffee. What do you want first thing in the morning from your bedmate? I see so many hangovers. I want orange juice in the morning. A blowjob maybe. In that order.
If you ask someone out for coffee, is that the same as asking them out for drinks?
Coffee is much more casual, and not really very romantic. You're not going to get drunk in a coffee bar and go home and have a one-night stand, but that could easily happen in a bar bar.
What fetish is overrated?
Food fetishes. They're kind of gross, I think.
What erogenous zone is underrated?
I think it's a tie between the back of the neck and the back of the ears, strangely enough.
I've never tried bondage, but I'm curious. Any tips? Safe words. Sometimes you're into something and then suddenly you're not! It's good to feel safe.
