Oral history is to blame for one of sex's biggest misconceptions.
We love supermarket tabloids as much as the next person. In fact, we're guilty of holding up the line at Gristedes on several occasions, all in the name of celebrity gossip.
When it comes to sex myths, however, the headlines aren't always as transparent as say, a Spencer Pratt mishap. MSNBC recently published a list of sexual misconceptions that, quite frankly, scare us more than a Heidi Montag music video.

Chocolate body paint pulled from sex shop shelves in UK for melamine contamination.
If you've recently purchased British chocolate-flavored "willy spread," the English term for edible erotic body paint, beware before you lick.

The chocolate paint included in the set was manufactured in China and has been found to be tainted with melamine.

In powder form, melamine is detected as a protein, and … Read More

What you eat may help you enjoy sex more.
Marrena Lindberg, author of Orgasmic Diet, says a balanced diet -- along with plenty of high-grade fish oil supplements -- can help women reach full satisfaction more easily.

The diet she suggests also includes a small portion of dark chocolate each day, … Read More

"Lifestyle can boost your brain power," Horne said. "What your lifestyle does is help to create the chemical conditions in your brain."

Experts endorse chocolate for your health. Recipes and more!
The day scientists prove that a bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a milkshake make a lifesaving power-meal may never come. But they did recently add chocolate, everybody's favorite "vice," to the growing list of who-knew health foods—right next to red wine, and to a chorus of "j'ai-told-vous-so"s.
As it turns out, chocolate not only makes the heart grow fonder, but also makes it grow stronger. Like red wine, tea, and fruits and vegetables, dark chocolate is high in flavanols, which, according to the American Heart Association, lower blood pressure as well as bad (LDL) cholesterol levels.
