A
sex columnist is a
writer of a newspaper or magazine column about
sex. Sex advice columns may take the form of
essays or, more frequently, answers to questions posed by readers. Sex advice columns can usually be found in
alt weekly newspapers,
women's magazines,
health or
fitness magazines, and
student newspapers. While some are written by trained sexologists, many are penned by people lacking credentials in human sexuality and relationships, yet willing to divulge their opinions or personal bedroom antics.
