It’s not like what you see in the movies (though sometimes you may find some elements of Hollywood in there), and it’s not all pretty, but it can be interesting and, sometimes, even a little funny. According to prostitutes, erotic masseuses, and other sex workers on Reddit, here’s what that very first day on the job is like.

Well, I certainly don’t have a billion years of parenting experience under my belt (and, honestly, I don’t like wearing belts), but I do have 12 such years involving a daughter and almost 8 involving a son, and I daresay I’ve figured out what the main difference is between raising boys and girls: The drama. More from The Stir: 8 Signs You’re Raising a Mama’s Boy As in, girls bring the drama and boys do not....

Ann* seems like a sweet and innocent mom of three who spends most of her time taking her kids to dance class or after-school music lessons or trying to fit in work of her own. And it may seem like she doesn’t get to see her husband Pete* much because of how many things they both have going on that doesn’t involve each other. But they found a way to keep things very hot between them and it involves Pete telling Ann all the details about the alone time he has — alone time masturbating....

“Parents should be monitoring their child’s key developmental milestones and watch for early signs of delay,” says Nancy Wiseman, founder and president of First Signs and one of the most authoritative experts on autism on the planet. “If you intervene early enough, you may be able to prevent a developmental delay from progressing into a full-blown disorder and get your child back on a healthy developmental path,” Wiseman says. “Recovery is a long and uncertain road, but it is possible....

My 6 year old still uses one at night, and when we go on trips in the car. I just take the rubber valve out so it works like a water bottle. Of course, my first-grader would never be caught dead with his red and blue Diego cup in public. He’s reached that stage where he knows associations with certain objects just scream “baby!” Until six months ago, I couldn’t get my son to part with his ratty, tatty teddy bear anywhere we went....

That’s when the compliments suddenly rolled forth. “Oh, you look fine!” “But you’re not fat!” “You don’t need to lose weight!” Folks! It may not be polite to tell someone they’re overweight, but can we stop with the faux praise? You’re not making things any easier on us! I never really expected to stumble on compliments in my quest to lose weight, at least not at this juncture. Maybe six months down the road, by which point I hope to have shed a chunk of the more than 30 extra pounds weighing me down?...

We took 12 well-known foods you’ve been warned to cut from your diet — although they all taste pretty darn good, FYI — and asked Alexandra Miller, RDN, LDN, a corporate dietitian at Medifast Inc., to put them in order from “Not-so-bad Bad” to “Holy s***t! Stay away!” Were we shocked and dismayed by how this list played out? Yup. And you will be, too. Click through to see....

If you like New Jersey, for example, you’ve got lots of locales to choose from (Connecticut and Indiana were also big winners). But one thing all these cities have in common? An emphasis on providing a secure, enriching environment for kids in a number of ways. See if your hometown made the list!

It’s no big surprise that Karan inherited some height, as his father is 6 feet 7 inches, and his mom is — get this — a 7-foot, 2-inch basketball player. But still, this baby is almost as tall as some of my friends. He was 13 pounds at birth, and his father said, “I had to throw away the baby clothes I’d bought for him and go to the market again....

I have two little girls, ages 4 and 6, and I have put them in bikinis since they were babies. We are not a bikini exclusive household, mind you. They also wear one-piece bathing suits and I also only buy the girls age appropriate and size appropriate bikinis. But still, they do wear two-piece suits. What’s the big deal? There is nothing sexual or inappropriate about a child wearing a bikini....

Tara described the epic encounter that took place last year in a Facebook post and it’s going viral again because it’s just so good — and horrifyingly relatable — all at the same time. After her daughter, Norah, suddenly grabbed her pants and started doing the potty dance in the middle of an aisle, Tara hustled her to the back of the store in search of the bathroom. Every parent knows the feeling when you’re trying to get your toddler to the toilet before a wet-pants situation, but when these two made it to the bathroom, Mom wasn’t safe from an embarrassing situation....

And then I woke up and went to the kitchen and drank a huge glass of water. Like I said, totally wonkadoo. But I’m not alone — most pregnant women have strange dreams. Ever wonder what they mean? Me too! So, let’s break down my waitress whale/wilting flowers dream. According to a pregnancy dream dictionary, a whale represents feminine power and creativity. Ok-ay. The waitress uniform is supposedly my subconscious working out some sort of resentment of my role in becoming a mom....

In an open letter to her baby boy, Alexandra explained that she was often looked down upon before ever even giving birth just because of how old she did or didn’t look. “People had already made up their minds that I wouldn’t have the ability to take care of you. I was branded irresponsible, stupid and people claimed that I had already ruined my life,” she wrote on her Facebook page, Tears ‘n’ Tantrums....

You’re not alone. We all have. Because life inside the Pottery Barn catalog is not only beautiful — it’s perfect. Who wouldn’t want to live there?

“What’s the warts that could happen?” asks another, the words spelled out in shriveled, blistered skin. The rhetoric is familiar to anyone who’s had a sex education class: Herpes, a disease that affects two-thirds of the adult population, is viewed as a terrifying, life-altering consequence of deviant sexual behavior. But for the 50 million Americans living with it every day, it’s actually not that big of a deal. “Living with an STI is empowerment and the opportunity to gain more knowledge about myself and my body than I’ve ever previously known,” she said....

Luckily I have something just like this Slub Beach Tunic ($48) from Free People. I’m still in my bathing suit since it’s sort of sheer, but I’m covered up in a lightweight fabric so I’m not sweating more than I should be. Though that’s a challenge since it’s been so hot. I have some more body distraction items … I mean, ideas on what to wear with your bathing suit so you don’t feel so naked....

Gah! There was an IKEA commercial a few years back banned in North America that showed a little boy playing with his trucks and plastic animals and … a big silver vibrator. Yes, a vibrator! Check it out … Embedded content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VtzSDI8u2o Hilarious, but terribly cringe-worthy if that has happened to you. It happened to Dawn Tulman. She knew she needed tighter security when her then 4-year-old daughter discovered her vibrator and began asking, “Mommy, what’s this?...
