Two Sense: Enough With the Dirty Talk

My boyfriend and I have been talking dirty in bed for two years now. I've never had a problem with it, but lately I'm finding that I don't enjoy it as much, and sometimes I even want to tell him to stop and just have sex without the verbal part. I haven't said anything to him because I don't understand my feelings myself. I'm not sure if my sexual needs are just changing or if I want to decrease the dirty talk because we are getting more serious and I want to feel respected, the way a husband would respect a wife, as opposed to "dirty," the way one casual lover might see another. I know I must have some hang-up going on but I can't put my finger on it and I don't know what to say to my boyfriend.

Interview With the (Hot) Grand Marshal of the Pride Parade

Cheyenne Jackson

Broadway star and Tony nominee Cheyenne Jackson has been making a name for himself lately in film and television, appearing on 30 Rock, Glee, and most recently making a prominent cameo in HBO's Liberace exposé, Behind the Candleabra. Next week he'll be in San Francisco to perform with the San Francisco Symphony in their concert version of West Side Story, and he'll also be serving as Grand Marshal in the LGBT Pride Parade on June 30, and celebrating the release of his first solo album, I'm Blue, Skies, on June 25. 7x7 talked with him by phone from L.A. about his music career, the current state of Broadway, and a few TV pilots that went nowhere.

A Lake Tahoe Wedding That Feels Like Home

We Wanna Be Friends With: Nina Tang of FAWN

Nina Tang has that enviable quality of being a badass entrepreneur with really, really good personal style. Her first boutique was the beloved Richmond Rox (now closed) which she opened at 26 while getting her masters from the Academy of Art College. She ran it solo - that means when exams came around she would write her schedule on a chalkboard outside letting customers know when she'd have to close up shop early.

An Exclusive Summer Brew Perfect for Post-Park Excursions

Jim Woods from MateVeza prepares his Tea Party Saison at Sam Adams Brewery

MateVeza is celebrated here in the west for its flagship IPA brewed with yerba mate. Its Cerveceria de MateVeza at the corner of 18th and Church is frequented by local beer lovers for its eclectic nanobrewery tap offerings, its well-stocked cooler of 100 types of craft beers, and its flaky Argentinean empanadas from El Porteño. But until it runs out sometime this summer, the cerveceria may best be known for its Boston Tea Party Saison, a collaboration ale created with craft beer heavyweight Boston Beer Company, brewer of the Sam Adams line of beers.
