I'd never been part of the fraction of people emotionally equipped to handle casual sex. When my partner and I started having sex, I struggled with feelings of inadequacy. For a long time, I was overly caught up in our sex life. In the same way, I'm never too old to get acquainted with the body I live in. Is it strange to be in the early years of my sex life while those around me are in the (much) later years of theirs?

Joe Flaherty, the comedic actor best known for his performances in the influential sketch comedy series “SCTV” and as a father on the short-lived NBC ensemble series “Freaks and Geeks,” died on Monday. His death was confirmed by his daughter, Gudrun Flaherty, who said that Mr. Flaherty died after a “brief illness.” She did not specify a cause, or say where he died. Among Mr. Flaherty’s characters were Guy Caballero, the sleazy president of the station, and Sammy Maudlin, an unctuous late-night talk show host. His character Count Floyd wore a cheap vampire costume while hosting a horror movie show, “Monster Chiller Horror Theater.” The joke was that the movies the program showed — such as “Dr. Tongue’s Evil House of Pancakes” — were seldom very scary, leaving Floyd holding the bag and often having to apologize to viewers.

Dan Levy, 40, rose to fame on “Schitt’s Creek,” playing the snarky David Rose for six seasons. He and his dad, Eugene Levy, created the Emmy-winning sitcom, which follows a rich family’s comically bumpy adjustment to small-town life after losing their fortune. “I think a lot of people think I’m a comedian, but I never really identified as one,” Levy said.

Read previewDan Levy recently dropped a major bombshell after revealing he turned down a role in the blockbuster film "Barbie," which he called "a tough day." "Logistically could not make it work despite desperately trying to," Levy told the outlet. "I think Greta had such a like wonderfully bizarre and and magical aesthetic idea of of what that movie was," Levy told People. Although Robbie played the titular role, Amy Schumer and Anne Hatheway nearly played the beloved doll. Robbie told Vogue in May 2023 that she initially wanted Gal Gadot to play Barbie.
