Julia Naftulin

I have over eight years of experience conceptualizing, researching, reporting, and writing journalistic articles, primarily for a digital audience.

My areas of coverage include relationships, human interest, travel, lifestyle, entertainment, and business. I have experience writing in various formats such as features, explainers, opinion pieces, and personal essays. Check out a sampling of my reporting work below.

FEATURES

• GOOP THREW A CRUISE, AND NO GOOPIES CAME

• A WALL STREET ACCOUNTANT TURNED PROFESSIONAL ESCORT SAYS SHE'S A PSYCHOPATH – AND SWEARS IT'S THE KEY TO MAKING 6 FIGURES

• A WOMAN CREATED THE 'COWGIRL WORKOUT' TO HELP PEOPLE OF ANY SIZE AND ABILITY HAVE MORE FULFILLING SEX — IT HAS EARNED HER OVER $180K

HEALTH + RELATIONSHIPS

• SIGNS YOU'RE A 'HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON' — THE MISSING PERSONALITY TYPE, ACCORDING TO SOME RESEARCHERS

• NARCISSISM, PSYCHOPATHY, AND MORE — HERE'S WHAT THERAPISTS SEE IN EACH KEY PLAYER ON 'SUCCESSION'

• 3 SIGNS YOU MIGHT BE A TOXIC PERSON, FROM A THERAPIST WHO REALIZED SHE HAD HARMFUL BEHAVIORS SHE NEEDED TO CHANGE

• THIS COUPLE MADE A GOOGLE DOC OF RULES ON HOW THEY FIGHT, SPLIT FINANCES, AND HOOK UP WITH OTHER PEOPLE — AND THEY THINK YOU SHOULD MAKE ONE TOO

• HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR PARTNER IS LOVE BOMBING YOU OR IF THEY'RE JUST ANXIOUS, ACCORDING TO A THERAPIST

• JON BON JOVI SAYS HE APPROVES OF HIS 20-YEAR-OLD SON'S ENGAGEMENT TO 19-YEAR-OLD MILLIE BOBBY BROWN. A THERAPIST AGREES THAT YOUNG LOVE CAN SUCCEED.

• AN ASEXUAL PARENT SHARES 4 WAYS THEY TEACH THEIR CHILD ABOUT SEXUALITY AND RELATIONSHIPS THAT ANY PARENT CAN USE

• ANAL BOTOX PATIENTS EXPLAIN HOW THE PROCEDURE IMPROVED THEIR SEX LIVES

OPINION

• CHEATERS ARE HAVING A MOMENT. IT ALL STARTED WITH ASHLEY MADISON'S BIG MISTAKE.

• SINGLES ARE TRYING TO 'GAME' DATING APP ALGORITHMS WITH ELABORATE TACTICS. IT'S A HUGE WASTE OF TIME.

PERSONAL ESSAYS

• AFTER YEARS OF AVOIDING LABELS, I CAME OUT AS BISEXUAL. IT DIDN'T CHANGE HOW ANYONE FELT ABOUT ME, BUT IT MADE ME FEEL MORE COMPLETE.

• I WAS SURE I WANTED TO MARRY MY BOYFRIEND OF 10 YEARS — UNTIL HE ENDED THINGS SUDDENLY. A YEAR LATER, I'VE FOUND A STRENGTH IN MYSELF I'VE NEVER KNOWN BEFORE.
