Love. Sex. Boys. Girls. The same problems and frustrations again and again. We've been there countless times, wondering when we'll find that ONE, that perfect person we want to stay with forever and ever. Even in a relationship, we reach a point where the person we're with doesn't feel as special as he or she used to. Maybe we start picking at flaws or noticing other people, wondering if we'd be happier with them. And once again, the relationship begins its slow decline. 

What if you could guarantee a spark that lasted—no matter who you were with—and a happier life … Read More

Memo to the ladies: Your boyfriend jerking off to Perfect 10 or the occasional American Apparel ad is not cheating. Masturbating to a hot message that he got from a new 17-year-old "friend" he met on Facebook is. See the difference there? We hear a lot of complaints, especially from women, about concerns regarding their partners' insistent masturbation. "Would you consider this cheating?" some ask. While no question is a stupid question, such queries do give me pause. Catholic guilt aside, when did self-love become tantamount to infidelity? The Frisky: I Was The Accidental Mistress

Given the long history behind … Read More

Can you compare our desire for sexual intimacy to, say, our need for food? And, if so, is sexual anorexia the opposite of sex addiction?

Believe it or not, even though "lack of sex" isn't an official cause of death, experts are divided on this issue. The question recently popped up in the New York Times: A reader asked whether willingly "starving yourself" with too little sex is a real disorder (not just something that happens when you're too depressed to leave your house because you've just been dumped, it's snowing and Real Housewives of Dallas is on. Why isn't … Read More

The reason guys perpetually chase after younger women has been explained away by science many, many times. Today, another study surfaced claiming that men have higher sex drives later in life, outlasting their female counterparts, which may be yet another evolutionary explanation for the Hugh Hefners of the world.

According to a study in the British Medic Journal, men are revved and ready to pounce well into their 70s, while ladies are less enthralled with sex beginning as early as 65. Men generally report more positive feelings toward sex throughout their life, with the gender gap at its greatest … Read More

I texted him as soon as I woke up.

"What do you want me to wear today?"

I brushed my teeth and washed my face while I waited for him to text me back.

"White button-down shirt. Tuck it in. Your jeans. Flats. Put your hair in a ponytail. Send me a photo."

I dressed as instructed, then stood before the wall-length mirror in my apartment's hallway. Smiling into the mirror, I snapped a photo on my iPhone and sent it to Ben*.

Thirty seconds later, a text message: "Very nice." Then I knew I could leave for work.

Ben was not abusive. … Read More

"Why isn't she married?" That's what people used to say about me. I'll admit it.

Are you someone people say that about? Do you know someone like that? Then you have to read my new book, How to Shop For a Husband, which comes out this week. I spent years crossing guys off my potential dating list because I didn't like the way they ate their yogurt or I hated the shoes they wore. Then I would date all the wrong guys: you know, the cute ones who had no interest in settling down. And I would … Read More

Sigh. It's been another long day and your feet hurt. By the time the TV is off, the dishes are washed, and you've donned a pair of baggy sweatpants, the only thing on your mind is making love.

To your pillow, that is.

Well, we know the feeling, and according to a recent study by the National Sleep Foundation one in four Americans who are married or living with someone do too. Yes, that's right; nearly 25 percent of the population is so sleep-deprived that they frequently find themselves skimping on sex in favor of slumber. Sleep: The … Read More

Tonight, Bravo will air their latest episode of Kell on Earth, in which Kelly Cutrone takes a trip to Babeland, one of our absolute favorite (sex) toy shops. Bravo initially wasn't going to air that segment of the episode—supposedly because it didn't fit in seamlessly with the storyline—but Cutrone put her foot down and some quick editing was done. Because everyone's favorite fashion PR guru wanted women to know: shopping for sex toys is fine…and fun! The Best Sex Toys for Singles

Cutrone tells Babeland, "Our show is about women and power, and now housewives are going … Read More

We'll say it straight up: There's no good reason in the world to hang onto these habits. They aren't helping.

1. Nagging, nagging, nagging. We know about the squeaky wheel, but complaining loud and long gets you only short-term gains and builds up powerful discontent on your spouse's side.

2. Blaming, criticizing, and name-calling. These tactics belittle the person you promised to love, honor, and cherish; let you play angel to his or her devil; and don't address the responsibility you both share for your marital happiness.

3. Bullying, rudeness, and selfishness. These ugly power plays tell your partner that he or she … Read More

Husbands, wives and Oscars, those famed, golden bald men given out at the Academy Awards each year, have an interesting history.

In 2009, Sean Penn popped up in the tabloids after winning the Academy Award for Best Actor following his role in Milk. Why? For neglecting to mention his wife in his Oscar acceptance speech. Hounded by reporters, he finally explained that he and wife Robin Wright Penn had discussed the speech beforehand, and had decided that—in order to save time so that Penn could speak at greater length about continuing injustices within the gay community—he'd leave her out. When … Read More
