She's stunningly beautiful, has Brad Pitt and six other children, both biological and adopted (best of both worlds there); add in an Academy Award, a successful film career and the eyes and interest of the world, and you've pretty much got every dream covered. What could she possibly have to prove? Call me crazy, but for some reason, this last pregnancy announcement just smacks of desperation to me. Really, Angelina? Seven?!
Dating a man who is not quite divorced? You could be in for a challenging time.
When it comes to seriously dating a nearly divorced man, there is usually a third person in your relationship – his not-quite-ex-wife.

A new study finds men and women who worry about their sexual performance are more likely to cheat.
There's a new study that says sexual anxiety and a lack of concern about consequences, i.e., pregnancy and STDs, are what make men and women more likely to cheat on their partners.
60 percent of women and 25 percent of men say they have pretend orgasms.

Stop worrying about waxing, cellulite and his exes! Love yourself and become sexually secure.
