Ask Estrada: Hookups, relationships, and great expectations
My boyfriend’s penis is only 2.5 inches long. I’m used to longer penises than this, but I love him so much I don’t want him to know he’s so small. Is there any way I can fix this and make my sex life more pleasurable? I’m not sure whether the “2.5 inches long” refers to […]

We don’t want war

On one hand, the western news has completely demonized Russia and shown obvious favoritism to the temporary government in Ukraine, while official news sources in Russia blame the West for the coup d’état in Kiev. It’s simply […]

It’s 6 a.m. and a thick serving of snow has covered the UR campus, rendering a variety of surfaces around campus a soft, pure white.
