About Em & Lo
EMandLO.com is your daily dose of advice, news, and stories about sex, love, and other important stuff. No yoga mat required.
We’re Em & Lo, more formally known as Emma Taylor and Lorelei Sharkey. We like to consider ourselves the Emily Posts of the modern bedroom. We’ve co-authored six books on the topics of sex and love so far: Sex: How to Do Everything (DK ‘08), three A-Z guides, Buh Bye (Chronicle ‘07), Rec Sex and Sex Toy (Chronicle ‘06), the sex manual The Big Bang: Nerve’s Guide to the New Sexual Universe (Plume ‘03 in the US; Hodder ‘04 in the UK), and the handbook Sex Etiquette for Ladies and Gentlemen (Plume ‘04/Hodder ‘05). We’ve contributed to the anthologies Sex and Sensibility: 28 True Romances from the Lives of Single Women (Washington Square Press ‘05) and The Enlightened Bracketologist: The Final Four of Everything (Bloomsbury ‘07), the self-help tome The Girl’s Guide to Absolutely Everything (Workman, ‘06) and the gift book Position of the Day (Chronicle ‘03). And more books are on the way!
We have contributed to numerous publications, including Glamour, Details, New York, Cosmo, The Boston Globe, ReadyMade, Men’s Health, Marie Claire, Allure, Slate and, in the UK, The Times, The Observer, The Financial Times, The Telgraph, Esquire, Arena, FHM, Metro, Cosmo, Red, Scarlet, and GQ. We’ve written a column debunking sex myths for The Guardian (UK), another dispensing sex advice for Men’s Journal, the Mating column for New York magazine, and a weekly column for More magazine in the U.K.
We also are the hosts of a ten-episode television series called “SEX: How to Do Everything” airing on Fiver in the UK in early 2009.
After four years as Nerve.com’s resident advice gurus, “astrologists” and online personals advocates, we dished about all things love-, sex- and star-related here at EMandLO.com; took a break for a year and blogged on Conde Nast’s DailyBedpost; and now we’re back home!
We both live in New York, outside of the city. We’ve only had one fight.
