As Exciting As Stroller Set Gossip Gets
Amy Sohn's new book sure does have some some hot dish: Sean Penn's bad in bed, Robert Downey Jr. cheats, and Kate Hudson is an evil bitch... in her mind. The celebs don't care, but the New York Post does!
Behold, the Book Behind Sarah Jessica Parker's Sex & the Stroller Set Show

How Did We Miss the 2nd Annual Edgy Moms Reading?
Seriously. It happened last night at the Montauk Club, and every edgy momwriter was there. There were gift bags from sex shop Babeland—that's edgy! In attendance was the Sun's Lenore Skenazy, who wrote about leaving her kid in Bloomingdale's to fend for himself on the subway (he wanted to!), Amy Benfer (Salon), and …

Amy Sohn And Neal Pollack Think People Are Just Jealous
"We're really into co-parenting," New York magazine "Breeding" columnist and author Amy Sohn said. "I mean, we only have a part-time nanny."

444 Madison Goes for $313 Million
When New York magazine moved into 444 Madison Avenue, it was a young magazine in its late twenties. Rupert Murdoch had just sold his stake and the magazine's full floors—for the most part, 13 (edit), 14 (art) and 15 (ad sales)—represented a new era. The Newsweek sign came down and in its stead the now iconic New York…
Celebrity Babies Make Money
So Nerve—which used to be a sleek sexy magazine, and then split off a company that ran personal ads, and is also a place that gets snippy every time we mention them, by the way—is now all about the fetus and the newly post-fetal. It began with their new site Babble, "the magazine and community for the new urban…

Amy Sohn Still Young, Jewish And Sexual
Her glaring absence from New York's unsexy Sex and Love issue reminded us to, at some unspecified later date, schedule some wondering on the topic of: Where has our Amy Sohn gone? The answer comes today, in an email sent to La Sohn's entire mailing list (to which, we hear, one is added solely by virtue of having ever…
Amy Sohn Spits On Your Matzo
Poor former New York magazine dating columnist Amy Sohn. She is trapped between two worlds! In Park Slope, where she has mated and bred, she is surrounded by the Jews. In an exchange of letters with Oprah's fave rabbi, Shmuley Boteach, she says she feels "a mix of contempt, curiosity, and envy" about "your people."…
Inventing Words Won't Help Amy Sohn's Marriage
All is not rosy in the land of New York mag's now-married former dating columnist Amy Sohn. In next week's magazine, she reveals that her husband is a "momblocker." A couple things, now.

Amy Sohn Wins the Game of Life, OKAY???
Rubbing your success in people's faces without being tacky about it is always a tricky proposition. If you try too hard to flaunt your wellbeing, you might come across as braggy — or, god forbid, it might seem like you're overcompensating, or being pettily vindictive. So a subtle approach is probably best,…
Victims of Religious Oppression Hot New Childcare Accesory For Fall
Sex columnist Amy Sohn pops her head up on her website to weigh in on the apparently hot topic of SAHMs. (That's "stay at home moms," for those of you who don't read New York or urbanbaby.com.) Amy thinks this is a bad idea, in that it leads to neurotic children, boring moms, and smug dads. Instead, she's figured…
Remainders: Amy Sohn Capitalizes on Motherhood
• New York mag's sex columnist Amy Sohn spares us her return. Instead, she'll be writing in-depth features for the magazine on matters such as breast milk and bjorns, reasoning that "parenting is hot right now." Yeah? Tell that to our Ortho Tri-Cyclen, crazy lady. [NYO]

Baby-Killers, Amy Sohn Needs Your Help
New York magazine's mating columnist Amy Sohn — who's been on the world's longest maternity leave — is apparently gearing up for her return. We suspect that the new mom will be writing about issues near and dear to her heart, judging from the following email she's sent around:
Straight vs. curly
Amy Sohn polls her hairdresser:
Sohn: "What s the difference between straight-haired and curly-haired women?"
Hairdresser: "Women with straight hair think the whole world belongs to them."
"And curly-haired?"
"It is up to them to feel that way."
I nod, understanding all too well. About a year ago, out of boredom, I…
Sex surrogates
Amy Sohn profiles "sex surrogate" Rita Bellwho, Sohn explains, "men pay...to have sex with them as a way of resolving their sexual problems." Think prostitution meets therapy. Sohn says roughly 15 percent of Bell's clients are Orthodox Jewish men who tend to be premature ejaculators. 'It's about the guilt. It's 'I'm…
NYSG movement and the Cad party
Buried in a NY Press column was a reference to the "NYSG (New York Single Girls) literary movement" which apparently included complaining about the "predatory male attitude," so excruciatingly detailed in Rick Marin's Cad: Confessions of a Toxic Bachelor. The author had attended Marin's book party, which was also…
