From #Unwifeable to Marriage with “Sexpert” Mandy Stadtmiller

Do the women of today still dream of fairytale weddings? Female “sexpert” and columnist Mandy Stadtmiller breaks down the modern women’s perception of marriage, sex and dating while sharing intimate details of her personal sex life. From the Mandy Project to XOJane, Stadtmiller reveals humorous insight into relationships, anger diffusion techniques and navigating public shaming all in an attempt to answer whether or not men and women can ever really “just be friends,” in this Media Mayhem interview hosted by Allison Hope Weiner.

Guest Bio

After leaving a career in journalism behind (The Washington Post, The Village Voice, The Des Moines Register) to marry her college sweetheart, Mandy Stadtmiller created a blog in 2004 to rediscover her voice again. A year later (and all in the same week) she turned 30, got divorced and was hired as an entertainment writer for The New York Post, the fifth largest newspaper in the country. In the six years since, she’s won the title of Funniest Reporter in New York, placed in the semi-finals of the Funniest Stand-Up in New York, created a “Sex and the City”-style dating column that became a Gawker.com sensation, ranked one of the Top 200 Most Influential Print Reporters, according to Mediaite.com, and become a frequent contributor to the gossip pages of Page Six. She has been described as “funny and sexy” by Punchline Magazine, Mediabistro.com calls her a “longtime favorite of ours,” and Gawker.com wrote, “Okay, Mandy: We get it. You win.” In 2012, she became deputy editor at xoJane.com.
