Does everyone do it? Or has everyone done it? The answer is yes! For some people, masturbation is actually the high point of their day. The celebrated gynecologist Hector Treub put it succinctly: 'We've all masturbated and those who say they've never done it are still doing it!'

People often ask me what the road to transformation looks like. They have imagined this vision of a yellow brick road leading off into the sunset.

In reality, they should be picturing a route full of twists and turns, hills and valleys, detours, and changes in speed (or pounds...

My brain caught fire the moment I first saw a Purple Martin, fluttering like a humming bird, diving like an osprey and performing eye-popping aerial maneuvers beyond the imagination of the world's best ballet dancers. What in the world are they doing up there? They are feeding. Purple Martins are...

My wife got her first tattoo this weekend. It's a lovely piece, one that she's been contemplating for most of our 14-year partnership. The wait was worth it! I myself have a number of tattoos, but the ones I'm really proud of came from a little tattoo parlor in Copenhagen,...

I've always had a hard time holding back tears. I get weepy in animated films like "Tarzan." I constantly have to dry my eyes at friends' going away parties, and yes, I've cried at work. It's never intentional, but sometimes you just can't help it. According to conventional wisdom, this...

I'm in awe of Joan and Peggy and the writers of Mad Men. This show, as spectacular as it is, in Season 5, is just picking up steam for me. I thought the best episode ever written was when Roger took LSD, but they have topped themselves again. "The Other...

Lately, I've become obsessed with Girls, the new HBO series about women in their 20s. Not in a joyful way. In a worried, watching a car wreck kind of way.

Okay, I'll own it. The reason I'm mesmerized by the girls in Girls -- the hapless, aimless, tragic victims --...

If rules were made to be broken, why are so many of us so afraid of breaking them?

May 13-19 was National Women's Health Week, an event spearheaded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's Health.

I don't watch much TV, but strangely I have watched most episodes of HBO's new series Girls. Of course, the show is produced by Judd Apatow, the man who gave me my first good acting job, playing a freak on the television show Freaks and Geeks, and my first great...

"Get ready, Julia," my mom said. "Your life is about to get pretty crazy."
