The Best of Bedhead 2014 – My Favorite Posts

As 2014 draws to a close I have once again rounded up my favorite posts of the year. And once again what was meant to be my 10 favorite posts has ballooned to 15. What can I say? I love what I do. Here are my 15 favorite posts of 2014 listed chronologically (because I couldn’t handle ranking things). I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it- thank you all for continuing to give me an audience for this work.

22 Things I’ve Thought About in the Days Since the UCSB Shootings

d2aaafb8-e657-4c82-b526-efcf715ae97cWhen Your Partner Sleeps With Someone Else – And It Makes You Happy

Kinkly gave me the opportunity to write about compersion and I learned that people were desperate to discuss compersion in a mainstream setting!


imageF*ck Yeah! Talking About Consent

After watching a community grapple with consent, many of them not get it and the group finally turn it into a snarky punchline, I laid some shit out.


25137729-dc7c-4829-a316-eaa0455aa82f15 Signs That You’re In an Emotionally Abusive Relationship

Abusive relationships can be hard to spot… sometimes even to the people who are in them. I came up with this list of signs to look out for.


file801343155029Sex When You’re Depressed- Don’t “Just Do It”

It’s awesome that more people are talking about depression- it’s less awesome that I keep seeing articles telling people with depression & low libido to “just do it”. I offered a different perspective.


front_of_scroguard (1)I Tried a Product Everyone’s Mocking- My Take on Scroguard

8388043189_110cdcd116_zCondoms, Cancer & Scare Tactics – How One Company Is Using Fear to Sell
