A few weeks ago, I popped along to the latest Tenga Talk and saw Anouszka Tate, who chats all things sex and relationships on the “Project Pleasure” podcast, on the panel. After a fabulous evening, and lots of interesting issues raised and questions answered, I thought, “I recognise Anouszka” and it was only after that I realised it was…
The pre-Internet Dark Ages: a time where social media consisted of drawing hearts on the corner of notebooks, and folding decorated origami into a fortune teller for your friends. One phone number sufficed for the whole family. Impressions were opinions. Tweets were bird noises. Trolls were huge ugly goblin monsters. And dating was simpler. Or was it? So much has…
Sensitivity, sensuality and creativity… Awaken your feminine energy with Horoscope by Bijoux Indiscrets! I’ve always had a slight obsession with horoscopes and birth gemstones (older friends will remember my gem stone collections… and rock polisher *nerd*), so when Bijoux brought out the Horoscope “treat box” as I’ll call it, I was pretty intrigued. It’s unique and different, and quite unlike other…
I know you know you need it. I know you think “nothing is wrong with me”. I know it’s a daunting, unpleasant idea, plus requires taking time off work or organising, but it really could save your life. New research has shown that nearly a third of women ignored their latest invitation for an appointment, and screening rates are at their…
I was asked the other day, “do you think it’s harder to date in London than in other places?” and I thought, good question. I used to live in London: first Hackney then Balham, and worked in Soho for 3 years so I know the dating scene well. I’ve dated myself, I’ve seen friends and colleagues date, and am friends…

It’s that time of year again where us bloggers sit patiently, nail-bitingly nervous as we await our fates… Blogging is, for a lot of us, a massive part of our lives. It keeps us ticking, it’s a purpose that runs through our veins. Those who blog for the genuine love of writing, helping, seeking out new ideas and enjoying being…
Moving in together. The never-ending sleepover with your best friend. It’s a big step. It’s actually pretty scary, you’ve gone from living in your own places, having your own spaces, to now… everything is shared. But before you run for the door and change your mind… fear not! If you’re ready for it, then it can be the absolute best…
I have romantically Loved three people in my life. The first: I learnt a lot about myself and it set me up to know how to be in a relationship, I broke his heart by falling out of Love. The second, I Loved and he would not Love me back. The third has been a rollercoaster, but has proved that…
We all know how it is – you got jiggy with it, but something didn’t go quite as expected and you need the morning after pill. Shock, horror – people have sex and sometimes even with precautions in place, we find ourselves in need of emergency contraception. What’s troubling with this, however, is that still, in 2018, taking emergency contraception…
Dear Eve, I ended things with my boyfriend, Garrett but it has been over a year and a half, we have both grown up so much and I want him back, so badly. I know we are soul mates but he refuses to get back with me. I am devastated. The reason we broke up was because there was distance…
Most of us would like to be in a relationship where we are happy. A healthy, happy relationship. But how do we know when we have a good relationship, or not? How do we recognise that we have a keeper? To sustain a long term relationship takes work, but there are few things which if you can wholly say “yes,…
DOWNLOAD PDF Periodic Table of Dating Let’s face it. Modern dating is hard.

As winter descends and gloomy, cold nights draw in, the search for a Christmas-time lover begins. It is well and truly, Cuffing season. What’s better than cuddling up on the sofa, hot chocolate in hand with a boxset of your favourite TV show to catch up on… but of course, it would be lovely to share this experience with a warm body…
Yesterday marked the beginning of Sexual Health Week 2018 – an annual campaign run by sexual health charity FPA to help raise awareness of various issues within sexual health. This year’s theme is consent, and judging by the research released by FPA today, we’re in urgent need of more education and information surrounding consent. Over the last year or two,…
Cheating… There are two schools of thought on this one. The first: it’s abominable. It’s the worst thing you can do to someone if in a relationship. The second: It’s exciting, you’re not happy and why not have some fun. Before I continue, this post is for those in the second camp. Those who think… “hey, why not, they’ll never find…
Hi Eve I’ve been seeing a guy from work. I’ve only known him for 2 months, and we started off as friends. I told him not to, but he then broke up with his long term girlfriend and we started going out on dates. I’m not going to lie, my feelings for him were so strong – I was falling way…
Nothing cools the heat of heartbreak quite like the rebound relationship. They are a fantastic distraction, a new lease of life, a chance for us to think “wow this is different!”…. but they can be totally toxic and incredibly unfair on the new partner you’ve found yourself with. They can be super helpful for us, but to drag someone through…
Sex is great. Amazingly, mind-blowingly fantastic, even. It’s one of the best parts of the human experience: the intimacy, the connection, the intense pleasure… you get what I’m saying. Unfortunately with sex, comes the unpleasant truth: the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STIs). I’m not going to bore you with what you probably already know – we all…
Nothing is more frustrating to me lately, than the shit some single women give to men (as a generalised group). Complaints about how dreadful all men are. How there is no one good enough out there. It’s the bitterness that seeps through from years of being rejected, hurt and used multiple times by a select few men. As a result, the dating…
