Welcome to Enthusiastic Endorsement, a series where we, the sex and relationships team at Cosmo, fill you in on all the unexpected, offbeat, maybe a little controversial sex and dating strategies, hacks, tips, and tricks we stand by. We’re talking advice that has historically, maybe been deemed by modern society as traditionally “bad” but that actually makes a whole lot of sense if you really think about it. Like saying “I love you” whenever you damn well please, not an arbitrary number of months into an exclusive relationship. Or why having an office crush is actually a fan-freaking-tastic idea, not an HR nightmare.

Sure, maybe there’s a little risk involved but a) we’d never actually give you bad advice, for real, and b) there’s an argument to be made for following your gut and going through with the thing that feels a little scary—and we’re here to convince (née, enthusiastically endorse) you to do the scary thing!

Why? Because life’s too short, and nothing truly exciting happens within your comfort zone. So…move in with your partner as soon as you want! Make sex a thousand times hotter by scheduling it on your cal! Date someone great even though you know it won’t last!

Does this all sound a little unhinged? Maybe! But on the other end of all this very good “bad” dating advice, you might just find love…or at least have a really great orgasm.

On this page you’ll find all of the Enthusiastic Endorsements we’ve ever published. We’ll be updating it every time we publish a new one, so make sure to keep this page bookmarked and check back for new words of wisdom every month.

And PS? If there’s an unexpected, surprising, maybe-a-little-deranged piece of love and sex advice you want to proudly and enthusiastically endorse on Cosmo (the people need to know!), email veronica.lopez@hearst.com.
