All guys have been there before. You pay for a nice dinner, a trip to the cinema and perhaps a horse-drawn carriage through the park (or some burgers, a couple of forties and a little Dance Dance Revolution) and, at the end of the night, you go in for a hug / kiss and possibly something x'tra. And then, all you get is a hug with the same amount of warmth and eroticism as the handshake after a bad job interview. If the guy doesn't really dig the gal, he thinks, at least for one cheap, shameful moment, "Wow, … Read More

A Polish prostitute is being charged over $800,000 in back taxes. The woman, who describes herself as unemployed, made a bunch of dough lying on her back and Uncle Sam-owski wants his cut. Per Reuters, the woman is from the town of Katowice and made at least 13.7 million zlotys during her career and the Polish equivalent of the IRS (there's a joke in there somewhere) believes she should pay them 2.3 million zlotys ($820,000).

Our buddies over at Gawker have some interesting news for us: Nevada's de facto ban on man-hos has come to an end. Prostitution has been legal in the Silver State for nigh 40 years, but had not included men on account of a stipulation that all sex workers have regular STD-wary cervical examinations. The male anatomy, ever resplendent, sorely lacks a cervix, and 9 out of 10 members of the gender couldn't even tell you what the cervix does, or where it is located.

Industries are a little like sharks. They have to keep moving and eating seals and surfers else they'll sink and starve, respectively. And no industry is more adept at evolving than prostitution (with the possible exception of the X-Men). It's fought legislation, moral posturing and various maladies of the … Read More

The Beatles declared that you "Can't Buy Me Love" (as did Patrick Dempsey) but that doesn't mean you can't put a price on it. According to Paul Frijters of Australia's Queensland University (per the Sidney Morning Herald) marriage is worth approximately A$32,000 (that's $30,000 in US dollars) in happiness to a man, and A$16,000/$15,000 to a lady.

Periodically, people say things like, "I would give my left ball if the Red Sox win the World Series," or, "I would totally give you a blow-y if you would give me a massage." Only periodically do we mean these things. Which is a shame because holding people to things they say is one the greatest pants-on pleasures that life has to offer. Which is mildly ironic considering the warm water that a Philadelphia Phillies fan got into over saying something a little inflammatory regarding her love for her team.

Good news, bad news, non-news time.

First, the good news/bad news. A survey by dating site Date.com stated that 90 percent of women polled felt that men couldn't see past women being a little heavy. But the dudes surveyed overwhelmingly thought bigger can be beautiful—85 percent appreciated a bit of something to grab onto. Roughly 54 percent of the husky-hunters felt that curvier gals were better in bed. Echoing decades of locker room sentiment, 80 percent of the questioned men felt that larger women would be more appreciative of attention and generally less bee-otch-y than their svelte … Read More

Simone Dadoun-Cohen is an entrepreneur, former exotic dancer, wife, mother of three, and pot-stirrer. Her website, EstablishedMen.com, seems recession-proof, as it counts over 250,000 affluent men and beautiful young women among its members. One of the only "Sugar Daddy" sites with a female at the helm, Established Men was recently profiled on Nightline, which posed the question as to whether Dadoun-Cohen is a thinly veiled pimp of sorts.

Judge for yourself. Fresh from an infomercial shoot for Established Men, Simone Dadoun-Cohen filled us in on matters men and mommyhood.
