As sex and relationship experts, we recently hosted a 10-episode UK television show called "SEX: How to Do Everything," which is now finally available in the States on DVD (perfect for Valentine's Day)! The series is chock-full of tips and techniques, from the ordinary to the super scandalous. Here are 10 of our favorite tidbits (but they're really just the tip of the show's iceberg!).
- The 69 is kind of like communism: great in theory, but not always so equitable in practice.

We've heard of the pay gap, but orgasm inequality is just as serious an issue for many women.
Who knew the cure for some really big problems is right under our nose and between our legs. Yup, according a recent post by Penelope Trunk, people who have orgasms earn more, hang out with higher powered people, are better at public speaking, and walk with a more confident gait.
Of course, there's always a hitch. Or in this case, a gap—the "orgasm gap."
Reports Hannah Seligson in the Daily Beast: "Women are shattering political glass ceilings, surpassing men in the workforce, and even winning Indy-car races. But there's one area where the gender gap has proved particularly stubborn: The … Read More
The ultimate playlist for when you're getting some play.
I often encourage guests to snoop in my apartment. Firstly, it's a great apartment for snooping (I have a nearly endless supply of interesting books, DVDs, pieces of art, and knick knacks). Secondly, I have few artifacts in my home for which I feel shame. Seriously, the most embarrassing thing you will find is a hollowed-out book I keep near my nightstand, filled with condoms and the like, my naughty book. The same, unfortunately, cannot be said for my computer. When Snooping Gets Out Of Control
There is any number of horrifying things on my laptop one could discover, … Read More
Why are women opting out of the bedroom? A psychologist and author clues us in.
Is sex the last thing on your mind as you crawl into bed exhausted at the end of a long day? Would you rather curl up with a good book or television show than garner the energy for a romp in bed? Do you laugh with recognition when I tell you the name of my new book, A Tired Woman's Guide to Passionate Sex? You aren't alone.
Surveys report that between 20 and 52 percent of women say their sex drive isn't what it used to be. The most comprehensive survey conducted to date found that 33 percent of … Read More

As if STDs and pregnancy weren't enough to worry about.
We feel it's always handy to have a long, varied list of reasons why you don't want to get laid, so we were excited to find a new one that's backed by scientific research. Now you can blame your frigidity on a crippling fear of carpal tunnel syndrome.
According to research published in Medical Hypotheses journal, the extra weight put on your wrists during sexual intercourse is probably a major contributing factor to carpal tunnel syndrome. And the data that helps prove this shows an increase in carpal tunnel syndrome with the introduction of medications like Viagra and … Read More
Romance isn't about sex, sweeping gestures or man cleavage.
Everything I know about romance, I learned from romance novels; I am, after all, the editor of a romance novel blog. So it stands to reason that I should know a fair amount about romance itself, considering the amount of time I spend reading, reviewing, discussing and celebrating all these novels that recount courtship and happy endings. Recession Entertainment: Romance Novels
I'm here to tell you that romance is easily summed up in one word: Fabio. The long, blond hair, the gleaming hunks of waxed man-cleavage peeking out from a shirt that's undone but still tucked in: these are … Read More

Dr. Trina Read vows to have sex with her husband once a week for six months.
Relationships are filled with compromise, cooperation, fighting, emotion, the managing of finances and (sometimes) children. Is there something we forgot? Oh yeah, sex.
Often, when you're in a long-term relationship, sex is put on the back burner. If it weren't for heightened airport security and the requisite frisking, busy couples might get no action whatsoever.
This is what happened to Dr. Trina Read, sexpert, best-selling author, and sex coach. After the birth of her second child, Dr.Trina decided to get her sex life back on track, vowing to have sex with her husband once a week for six months—and blog … Read More
He's slept with 150 other women, but refuses to have sex with me!
He does not want to sleep with me. It's been three weeks and nothing. Not just nothing—I mean the complete absence of sexuality in an awkward, platonic way. We go out to dinner several nights a week and we kiss, hug, and hold hands in public. I've met most of his friends at this point and we've even spent nights together. And yet, nothing. I have tried every trick in the book to get him to seal the deal—I've smooched and even fondled him. And yet Matt remands steadfast and as abstinent as a priest. The Frisky: Guys, You're Not The … Read More
