One thing you learn by writing for Cosmo is just how many people read Cosmo. Ex-girlfriends, older aunts, former elementary school teachers, and Jezebel... Jezebel reads Cosmo.
I learned this when I got called out by name after they ripped the December issue, which featured my contribution to their "What it feels like..." feature, to shreds. I was tasked with explaining to Cosmo readers "What it feels like... to be inside a woman." This proved to be a much more challenging task than I expected, given the research I'd been conducting since age 17.
The most alarming thing about the Jezebel post was that they gave my wife the impression that I had a girlfriend. While I tried to clear up that misunderstanding, I tried to remind myself of that old Hollywood maxim, "I don't care what they say about me, as long as they spell my name right."
