It's Friday and everybody's working for the weekend. Since you're trying to punch through the last work of the week, I decided to grab the best of the web's love and relationships content for ya. Here goes:

Over at Lemondrop, the ladies discuss sex with nerds. Specifically, they break down 7 types of nerds, why to sex them and how to bag them. I'm not 100 percent sure they used the term "nerd" accurately unless it just means someone who is really into something.

The Frisky wants you to get some tail, they really do. And they don't want … Read More

Not to get all TMI on you—we're all friends here, though, aren't we?—but my husband and I are thinking about changing up our birth control to the ol' pull-out method. Actually, correction: I'm thinking about it and he's biding his time, not saying too much, hoping I come to my senses before my prescription for the Pill runs out. The Frisky: MERRIme, A Web Comedy About Online Dating

But the thing is, I'm beginning to hate the Pill. While I'm not experiencing the emotional side effects that I have in the past—thank God!—I am suffering from what I call … Read More

Kourtney Kardashian, like a lot of reality stars, has chosen to be open about almost everything in her life, and her recent unplanned pregnancy is no exception. But while some people have chosen to criticize her bun-in-the-oven candidness in recent weeks, we can't help but applaud it. In fact, we think there's a lot we can learn from Kourtney Kardashian and her situation. Among the bits of wisdom:

1. Remember to use your birth control. If you don't want to get pregnant, take precautions. Obviously. In Kourtney's case, she says she may have forgotten to take her pill prior to accidentally … Read More

While you were focused on why that Congolese student asked Hillary Clinton for Bill's take on China's growing influence on the African continent, CNN.com had a slightly more important story: would the world have fewer hungry mouths if more people had access to decent television?

First and foremost, there is a World Population Day and it was on July 11. This year, the Indian Minister of Health and Welfare, Ghulam Nabi Azad, made an interesting comment regarding population control in the subcontinent. To paraphrase, he thought that if they could get electricity to villages, the locals may be … Read More

The very astute crew over at The Frisky (I only get 40% of my news from them) have some wonderful news for us: according to science, pulling out is almost as effective as condoms. If you listen closely you can hear celebratory trumpets: bah-bih-tih-baht-bah-baaaaah!

While the effectiveness I refer to is exclusively applicable to birth control, the findings are a little shocking. Per these scientists, "typical use" of condoms results in pregnancy slightly less frequently than "typical use" of pull and pray (also called the withdrawal method). "Typical use" for both coitus interruptus and raincoat-wearing includes some degree of … Read More

Often, a woman's birth control choice is based on word-of-mouth from friends (which pill relieved monster cramps; which procedure was covered by insurance), familiar routines unchanged since college (same old pink pill case) or even TV commercials (seen the ones that make taking birth control look like boarding a Caribbean cruise?).

But as women cross over into the years beyond 30, there are new doctor-recommended options that go beyond basic oral contraception and condoms and can offer unique benefits. A recent Health magazine article by Alicia Potter did the research for us and presented seven top birth … Read More

We're huge proponents of pleasuring ourselves on a regular basis. When we don't our body just feels...what's the word... unhealthy.

Well, today we read that the U.K.'s National Health Service thinks we're on to something. In fact, the NHS is going so far as handing out pamphlets to school children touting "An Orgasm A Day Keeps The Doctor Away." The pamphlet asks the question: why promote healthy eating and exercise and not the maintenance and upkeep of one's sexual organs? Read: Masturbation May Cut Cancer Risk

It's an excellent question, really. Why not strive for five servings of … Read More

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced Wednesday that it had approved the first-ever generic form of the emergency contraceptive pill known as Plan B (levonorgestrel), manufactured by Watson Laboratories, Inc.

At the current time, however, the generic version of Plan B will be made available only to young women ages 17 and younger and will require a doctor's prescription.

First approved in 1999, Plan B emergency contraceptive (commonly referred to as the morning-after pill) can prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or suspected prophylactic failure. It's comprised of the … Read More

Trojan, Durex, Lifestyles…watch out!  A new study indicates that there is another method of birth control that may be almost as effective as condoms in preventing pregnancy.  The best part is, it doesn’t require any pill, patch, or plastic; doesn't include side effects of weight gain or nausea; and there’'s no wasted rip'n'roll time. Read: Spray-On Condom

It's withdrawing, or "pulling out" as it is often referred.

The study, by sex researcher Rachel K. Jones, indicates that "if the male partner withdraws before ejaculation every time a couple has vaginal intercourse, about 4 % of the couples will … Read More

Another week and another roundup of the best the interwebs have to offer:

Over at Lemondrop, they are quite amused by big media's concern about "sexting." I tend to agree, no teen is sending IWYTRBAOMFATWMEABS (I Want You To Rub Butter All Over My Face And Then Watch Me A Banana Slowly). You have to be at least 21 years weird for that sort of fetish.

According to the gang at The Frisky, another teen epidemic has the grownups spooked: hugging. The act is even being banned in some schools and perhaps Entourage is to blame? It … Read More
