Sex After the Pandemic

We wanted to know who's hornier, you or everyone else? So we teamed up with Cosmopolitan and the Kinsey Institute to survey thousands of Americans about their sex lives the past year. If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       Inside the Post-Pandemic Bedroom   How's your sex life? Did the pandemic kill the mood? A deadly, out-of-control virus that prevents you from touching almost everyone can do that. Now that we're on the brink of the end of this, the longest year of our lives, we're at the dawn of another sexual revolution. So what comes next? Last year, the editors of Esquire started talking to the editors of Cosmopolitan about everything that was going on. We assumed the next era would involve an explosion of casual sex. A bacchanalia of hookups and little else. But that's not what people had on their minds. After surveying two thousand people around the country (with the help of our friends at the famed Kinsey Institute) and listening to anyone with sexual organs who was willing to talk, we've arrived at a very different reality.

Buckle Up.   Lil Nas X has spent the past few days firing back at haters outraged over his groundbreaking "Montero" video and his release of unofficial Nike blood Satan shoes.

"We have seen the large numbers of women who have dropped out of the labor force because there is no adequate child care, because the public schools are closed, because there's no adequate elder care in this country." She called this "care infrastructure," a companion to the more traditional infrastructure of roads and bridges and clean energy investments, and this concept will be vying for a place in the infrastructure bill the Biden administration plans to roll out over the coming weeks and months.
