MOVIES MUSIC ON HEARING HERSELF ON THE RADIO FOR THE FIRST TIME “I was in a taxi and I was like, ‘Ahh, that’s me! Turn it up, turn it up!’ The driver wouldn’t turn it up, so I leaned over her and did it. I think she was embarrassed, but I just thought it was so cool.” HIDDEN TALENT “I can send adrenaline through my body on command. You can see when I do it—my pupils get wider. It’s a good pickup line, because it makes people look into my eyes for a long time.” THE RECRUIT “A lot of girls go into the army in Norway. I was actually going to go. I signed up for it. I still get the letters—I have to call them every month to…

WE KNOW YOU HAVE CONFESSIONS TO SHARE....E-MAIL THE DIRTY DETAILS TO CONFESSIONS @COSMOPOLITAN.COM, OR TWEET YOUR TALES TO @COSMOPOLITAN! 1 “I had an annoying roommate who would always take my stuff and eat my food without asking. I filled my laundry detergent bottle with bleach, knowing that she’d use it. All her clothes were ruined. She stopped using my stuff after that.” —SAVANNAH S., 21, STUDENT, METUCHEN, NJ GUY CONFESSION “I TOLD MY DATE HOW MUCH I LIKED HER NIPPLES, WHEN I MEANT TO SAY DIMPLES.” —JUAN P., 21 3 “I MET THIS GUY, THEN GHOSTED HIM. A MONTH LATER, I STARTED DATING THIS OTHER GUY I MET ON TINDER. WE WERE AT HIS PLACE, HOOKING UP ON THE COUCH, WHEN TWO OF HIS ROOMMATES WALKED IN ON US.…

20SOMETHING PROBLEMS “Guys in their 20s think they’re masters of the universe. I was in my late 20s when I realized I wasn’t. I was broken up with after a long-term relationship. But that was when I started identifying what was important to me and dating girls who fit with the type of person I wanted to be.” THE BIGGEST FAN “I was and am a massive Sex and the City fan. An ex actually got me into it, but it stands the test of time. If you’re a guy who’s interested in understanding women, you get a female perspective. And I’ve gotta go Team Big. I love that guy.” #MANTEARS “You don’t necessarily want to cry in front of women. They say they want a sensitive man, but I…

Dress Up Your Parka Avoid freezing this party season by topping an on-trend velvet dress with a cool, camo puffer that actually keeps you warm. Stay in Your Sweats Give denim a break, and try out track pants with a bodysuit and brogues. Mix Knits and Lace Pair demure ladylike pieces with a quirky sweater for offbeat, totally original vibes. Trade Black for Blue Instead of another LBD, invest in a navy version that still goes with all your statement accessories.…

Tempted to Reach for an Ice Cube? These temperature-controlled topicals are a smarter choice. “Applying ice directly to skin for extended periods of time can make redness worse,” says Marnie Nussbaum, MD, an NYC derm. THEY WORK WONDERS ON PORES AND PUFF Cold causes blood vessels in the skin to constrict. It’s your body’s natural way of conserving heat. Pop on a mask (like Dr. Dennis Gross’s) and you may see smaller pores and less puffiness as a result, explains Stalina Glot, senior aesthetician at Haven Spa in NYC. THEY CAN SLOW AGING Cooling products (like the ones below) boost micro circulation, which can improve skincell turnover (our natural exfoliating process that slows with age), creating a smoother, glowier surface. “Cold can also help keep skin firm by reducing inflammation,…

WHEN CULT FASHION brand Maison Margiela launched Replica, its first fragrance collection, in the U.S., it was nearly impossible to smell it in a store. With the exception of select Margiela boutiques and Barneys stores, the collection was exclusive to Sephora.com. Translation: You couldn’t spray it before buying it. Ultimately, it didn’t matter. ACCORDING TO Alexandre Choueiri, president of international designer collections at L’Oréal USA, which licenses the fragrances, “People fell in love with the scents’ stories online.” Unlike most perfume packaging, Replica’s wasn’t just decorative. Each box features a Pintereststyle photo: Beach Walk has a seascape, By the Fireplace, a roaring furnace. The shots, and many more, were on its website too—a contrast from the many sites that tend to rely on images of highly paid actresses and models…

THE DATE Mini-Golf THE POSITION The Hole in One Squat over your putt-putt partner while he’s lying on his back. Bracing yourself against his thighs, move up and down, your butt never quite touching down all the way. You get to control the depth and speed, but he can take over by simply thrusting his hips. And let’s just say it’ll erase the memory of that creepy clown mouth. THE DATE Dinner and a Movie THE POSITION The Sizzle Reel Start with some PG-rated, overthe-pants touching in the theater—giving new meaning to “coming attractions.” At home, go for missionary with a plot twist. Dangle one of your legs over the edge of the bed and make little circles as your leading man thrusts. It tenses your muscles, creating blockbuster action.…

ESTHER PEREL IS A SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS THERAPIST, THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MATING IN CAPTIVITY, AND A CONSULTANT FOR THE HIT SHOWTIME SERIES THE AFFAIR. HER TED TALKS ON DESIRE AND INFIDELITY HAVE BEEN VIEWED MORE THAN 14 MILLION TIMES. WE OFTEN CONFUSE something important about love. We tend to see it as a state of enthusiasm. But “to love” is a verb, and verbs are dynamic. They imply action, intention, and responsibility. By focusing on these five verbs, people can very concretely improve their current relationships and their ability to be successful in a future relationship. You don’t have to tackle all five at once. Which ones don’t come as easily for you? Focus on muscling up those first. To Give True giving is the ability to be attuned…

LOVE ADVICE FROM OUR GUY GURU, LOGAN HILL Q / I’VE BEEN DATING THIS GUY FOR FIVE MONTHS, AND HE’S GREAT—SO CARING AND ALWAYS THERE FOR ME. I WANT TO THANK HIM! THE PROBLEM IS, HE’S WRITING HIS THESIS AND SHORT ON FREE TIME. THERE ARE ALL THESE CONCERTS I WANT TO TAKE HIM TO, BUT HE DOESN’T HAVE TIME…AND MY LINGERIE-AND-STRIPTEASE ROUTINE IS GETTING OLD. WHAT DO I DO? A Reading your sweet question, I’m struck by how easy guys have it now and how little women expect! Being nice and decent was once the bare minimum, not a cause for special thanks, much less a striptease. A chill dinner is great, but the best way to thank a partner for being kind and decent is to be that…

On Making the First Move SERAYAH “Oh god—I do not have game. I would rather have the guy do it. But you know what? I’ve never tried. So maybe that’s the problem!” YAZZ “I’m the initiator. So many girls put themselves way out there. And I’ll kinda hang back because I don’t like anything that’s too easy.“ BEAUTY TIP Pair bold with bold by spritzing on a statement-making perfume. Empire’s new scent, Lyon’s Truth, $50, is laced with rose and sandalwood (and its counterpart, Lyon’s Legacy cologne, is perf for bae!). What Men Get Wrong About Women SERAYAH “Some guys are nice but put on a bad-boy exterior because they’re trying to protect themselves. A girl just wants to know you care and you’re listening. Bad boys are such an…

COO, FACEBOOK AND FOUNDER, LEANIN.ORG “With our girlfriends, we are stronger than we are individually. And because of my girlfriends, I know I am never alone.” It was in seventh grade that I found the women who would become my lifelong friends and supporters. We were “the smart girls”—which, in a Miami public junior high school, was not a compliment. We weren’t cool, but we were fast and loyal friends. And we have stood by one another for decades—from junior high to high school to college to starting careers and families to the present day. They have advised me on what dress to wear to the prom and what job to take. They were part of the inspiration for Lean In Circles—the small peer groups that meet regularly to learn…

WE HOLD THIS TRUTH to be selfevident: Election night is always on a weeknight. So no worries if you order pizza for the crew and throw some sprinkles on storebought doughnuts so you can claim they’re homemade.…Nothing a politician wouldn’t do, right? Then keep the mood light with fun photo-booth props and bingo—things Dems, GOPers, and Indies can agree are inalienable rights to partying. The “I Voted” Rim a rocks glass with blue sanding sugar, and fill it with ice. Pour in 2 parts Svedka Cherry vodka, 1 part cranberry juice, and 3 parts club soda. Garnish with maraschino cherries. Get to Snappin’ Hang a red or blue curtain, and hand pals funny signs, wigs, and a Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 camera. Then strike a pose! YOUR PARTY TIMELINE POLLS…

ARIES / 03.21–04.20 Aries women are no shrinking violets, so take cues from their attitude and go for what you want. When they are turned on, it’s go time. Skip the foreplay and get to it! Classic womanon-top poses and quick-climaxing thrusting romps should suit their mood just fine. TWIRL-A-GIRL Put a special twist on the woman-on-top position. Have him lie down and swing your legs over him, so your legs are perpendicular to his. Sitting on his lap, lean back on your arms and open your legs so he can enter you. Then turn up the volume by twisting your hips. TAURUS / 04.21–05.21 Not one for acrobatics, Tauruses prefer a slow buildup to a quickie orgasm. Generous with foreplay, they escalate gradually until the slightest touch creates a…

“He invited me to his place to watch a movie. Then he put on a sex tape…of him with another girl.” —HEATHER C., 30 “At a concert, he used expired parking passes—and a fake handicap pass—to avoid paying. The show was standing room only, but he took a chair in. Then he said I owed him $38 for the date.” —SHONTELLE V., 39 “I went out with this guy from Tinder, and he looked nothing like his photos. At the restaurant, he told me stories about his stripper ex and how he can make every girl squirt. When the bill came, he paid for his half entirely in change. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough.” —MADISON M., 24 “We were kissing outside my building, when all of a…

FOR THE FIRST TIME in my 10-plus-year career, I’m the boss. When any of the 13 people at the fashion website I run wants to write a story or spend some company cash, they ask me. I have more responsibility than ever before. It’s also the first time I’m wearing makeup—real, grown-up makeup—to work. Each morning, I use tinted moisturizer, brow pencil, brown eyeliner, and mascara. I finish with powder and coral red lipstick. This prep is as essential as checking my in-box before my commute. The Logic Behind Lipstick For most of my working life, I had a haphazard relationship with makeup. If I had a big meeting, I tried to at least fill in my eyebrows, but I focused more on the actual work. It’s not that…

“Value yourself and don’t chase. The guy should be chasing you!” –SUTTON FOSTER “You know if you can have sex with somebody within the first two seconds, but you don’t know about a relationship. Be friends first! You don’t need to jump into anything too fast.” –NICO TORTORELLA CONSIDER THIS YOUR CHEAT sheet to getting out there and slaying the dating scene. First, we made one of our editors date like it was her job and report back all the best strategies for finding love.

E -MAIL YOUR SEX QUESTIONS TO SEXQANDA @COSMOPOLITAN.COM. Q Is there any porn out there that I can feel good about watching? A Oof, this is a tough one. “Porn is intrinsically complicated,” says Celine Parreñas Shimizu, PhD, coeditor of The Feminist Porn Book. “Traditionally, porn has been a male-driven, not exactly female-friendly industry.” And although not a ton has changed over the years, you can try to make yourself feel less icky about it with feminist porn, which aims to equalize male and female pleasure. (Shimizu recommends Tristan Taormino’s films.) Then there’s IJustCame.org, a site that gathers content from places like PornHub and TubX and donates to charity each time you click the I Just Came button. But if the porn you’re watching is making you feel bad, it might…

BY DANIELLE KAM “In the Apple store waiting for my appointment… when I finally heard my name, I panicked and tried to fake a phone call, even though I was there because my phone wouldn’t turn on. Awkward.” —JON S., 24 “I got one at a funeral. So I did what any reasonable person would do: walked around with my backpack covering my crotch until it went away.” —ALAN W., 20 “I randomly got hard while a hygienist was scolding me at the orthodontist. I was wearing superthin gym shorts too!” —GRAHAM F., 30 “On a field trip to the zoo, watching a panda eat bamboo.” —TOBI A., 24…

WALK BEFORE YOU FLY Early in my career, I applied to run a foundation in Atlanta. The gentleman who oversaw it said that I was too young and I should work for his real-estate company instead. I wanted to rebel. I thought, You can’t tell me what to do. But once I began working for him, I appreciated that he was older and had a broader perspective. He wanted me to get private-sector experience that I could then apply to the nonprofit sector. Business acumen is a healthy, helpful skill—one that I’m deploying today at the WNBA. LOOK FOR PATTERNS When I start a new job, I always think, What have I done that’s like this? even if it’s on a different scale. The first time I ran for office…

PON Y WRAP STEP ONE STRAIGHTEN STRANDS This works best on straight hair, so quickly run a flatiron through her strands. Next, secure the hair into two equalsize ponies (as close together as possible) that sit at the nape of the neck. STEP TWO WIND ONE SIDE Take a 1-inch section of hair from the back of one pony, and coat it with a strong-hold hair spray. Tightly wind it around the elastic, then down the tail, adding small pieces (like you do with a French braid) until the top 2 inches are wrapped. Secure the end of the wrap with a clear elastic.

A FEW YEARS AGO, TMI on Facebook meant you saw too many pics of someone’s avocado toast. If only! Now your news feed is rife with emotional land mines, big and small: mass shootings, SCOTUS rulings, envy-inducing promotion announcements. “New norms have arisen about weighing in. People may feel like they’re missing out if they stay quiet,” says Susan Krauss Whitbourne, PhD, author of The Search for Fulfillment. Yet the more time millennials spend on social media, a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine study has found, the more likely they are to be depressed. Sad. Deleting all your accounts is probably not an option, so use these hacks to keep Snapping and double-tapping and not feel like crap afterward. 1 Use Fewer Platforms Jumping between Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest,…

HIS SOFT PALE belly glowed from my iPhone. A naked pic! From a Tinder match I’d never met, so...basically a stranger. To be fair, Nude Dude wasn’t totally naked. His junk was covered by a strategically placed stack of towels. But the unprompted bathroom nude seemed to say, Welcome to modern dating, Julie! I say “welcome” because I’d made it to 31 without ever using a dating app. They seemed like too much work. Plus, being single is fun! So I took on this assignment for the sake of science—and to inspire anyone else who drags her feet on the dating front. For six weeks, I’d use all the apps and hire three different dating coaches. You might want to pour yourself a drink for this.... The Taskmaster: Emma Tessler…

As a single 20something, I’ve swiped, matched, messaged, and ghosted (sorry!)...but never once taken things offline. One year and three apps later, all I have to show for it is fizzled-out convos with random dudes. Like the guy who texted me for three days about the plotline of Mad Max: Fury Road but never about getting drinks. It’s not just me. According to the Pew Research Center, onethird of dating-site users have yet to go out with someone they met online. In our Cosmo survey, 74 percent of women (and 64 percent of men) said in-app texting leads to a meet-up less than half the time. “I call it digital pen-pal syndrome,” says dating coach Julie Spira, author of The Perils of Cyber-Dating. You basically spend so long sussing out…

WHAT’S SEXY FOR NOVEMBER New month, new girl. Keep things fresh and go out of your comfort zone. There’s nothing sexier than embracing your silly. #Trust . Put Zooey Deschanel in front of a camera and she’s all fish gape, surprise smile, leg up, leg down. The bangs shine, and yuuuge blue eyes pop. On the L.A. set of her Cosmo cover shoot, she turns to the side and rests a hand on her stomach before catching herself. That pose is napalm for pregnancy rumors. “I already had the baby!” she jokes, referring to her 15-month-old daughter with producer/investor Jacob Pechenik. They met working on last year’s movie Rock the Kasbah and married shortly before baby Elsie Otter Pechenik came last August. BEAUTY TIP The secret to Zooey’s larger-than-life lashes?…
