Enter our Six-Word Modern Love Story Contest!

qmlcontest.jpg

The goal is simple: tell a full and rich modern love tale in just six words. Funny. Sad. Sexy. Or futuristic sexy, the kind with spaceships. The choice is yours.

(Ernest Hemingway started the whole six-word story idea by writing this one -- "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." He's said to have thought it was his best work.)

Post your best work right here before February 13th, noon ET, to enter. Please include your full name and where you're from.

The winners will be announced on a Q Modern Love special on February 14th. Winners will get their story read on air, and receive a nifty Q tote bag of swag!

Do we need another sexual revolution?

SueJohanson.jpgAnd what should it tackle? Our Modern Love series continues today with a look into where we are really at when it comes to sex and love.

Despite our culture's seeming openness about all things sex and love, there are a surprising number of myths and taboos that persist.

So what, as a culture, do we need to be more honest about when it comes to our private lives? And what assumptions should we be rebelling against?

Today, Jian delved into these issues and more with syndicated sex and relationships columnist Josey Vogels, longtime TV sex-advice host Sue Johanson, and author of the new book The Sex Diaries Project, Arianne Cohen.

Have a listen to what they had to say, and then tell us what anxieties haunt you around sex and relationships today -- and what myths and taboos you'd like to see busted.
