Thanksgiving is a sexy holiday, and Thanksgiving dinner, a sexy meal. Say what?

That's right: what happens at the Thanksgiving table has been proven to get the blood flowing, and we're not talking about your blood pressure. Many of the ingredients that go into turkey-day dinner are natural aphrodisiacs. Below are some of the top randiness-inducers, along with a few recipes that you may or may not want to include on the menu this November (depending on how close you're sitting to drunk Uncle Pete).

"Hello?" I'll ask warily.

I'll hear sniffles, sobs and a lot of blubbering. This is not a good sign. Then, "It's me."

It may not be the same friend calling, but the stories never seem to vary. "We broke up. I don't know how it happened. It was just so fast. Another argument. I don't know."

They always call me, and always with a remarkably similar set of relationship woes. One friend once told me that if all else failed, I should become a relationship counselor. I was an excellent listener, she explained, and I possessed an objectivity which the vast majority of … Read More

Eight women sitting around my living room talking about sex—all of us on the downside of 50—and even my ears burned from the sizzle of passion and rawness of confession. The idea that a contemporary women's sex drive disappears in middle or advanced age is as obsolete as the notion that women go batty in menopause. But many of us are ignorant about what changes to expect in our sexual responses during this passage, and the unforeseen consequences can drive us a little crazy! ThirdAge: Sexual Changes During Menopause Take Most Women by Surprise

Craemer, a lusty-looking California woman, told … Read More

Up until recently, if anyone had bothered to ask about my sex drive (which they never did), I would have said it was normal. I enjoyed sex as much as the next woman. But like many urban professionals, I was often too busy thinking about, say, the implications of some new regulation to give much thought to the sexual impulses that spiraled through my brain each day like dust motes.

Now that I have traded in my dry-cleaned, button-down, inoffensively colored work shirts for a set of neon green pajamas, the dust is gathering attention.

If I'm any example, Read More

We don't have the pleasure of owning a man parts, so we can't speak directly about erectile dysfunction or any other such problems. But William Leith, a writer for The Daily Mail (who we're pretty sure owns one), has some out-of-the-box ideas about the sexual wonder drug Viagra and how it may not really help either gender in the sex department. Viagra Boosts Release of "Love Hormone"

The pills, he thinks, may give men a false sense of sexual prowess. While a flaccid penis isn't fun for anyone, does a rock hard member really ensure … Read More

Snapshot:  I was three months pregnant with my first child. I was on my knees in front of the toilet bowl, having just thrown up for the sixth time that day. Suddenly, movement at the bathroom door caught my eye.

He was standing there. Naked. Touching himself.

"Are you done yet?" he asked impatiently. "C'mon baby—let's get it on." Read: Having A Baby Improved My Sex Life

My stomach lurched. Tears filled my eyes. "I'll be there in second," I replied looking down. I pulled myself up off the floor, brushed my teeth and proceeded to our bedroom to fulfill … Read More

Apparently, red red wine does make one feel so fine and in more ways than a mellow '80s reggae hit would have you believe.

In a recent study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, Italian researchers claim that sex drives are higher in women who prefer red wine as opposed to those who favor other alcoholic beverages. Single In Italy: A Recipe For Seduction

University of Florence doctors surveyed 800 women, all between the ages of 18 and 50, and separated them into three groups based on their drinking habits: red wine drinkers, those who prefer … Read More

I guarantee that you have this problem, too. In a relationship or not, we spend more time with technology than with real people. I have actually seen (in my Newsfeed, of course) couples communicate through Facebook when they're sitting right next to each other.

My mom always says, if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. And while my inner 15-year-old hates to admit she's right, I have to confess, this saying is usually spot on.

So when I caught wind that researchers recently found that libido patches not only didn’t work, but may compromise the long-term safety of their users, I wasn't surprised.

It seems in our world today, a lot of women (more than your think) have trouble becoming aroused. Call it stress, blame it on the economy, or fault low hormone levels, doctors are still trying to figure … Read More

Sex. And the absence of a healthy sex life can lead to its dissolve. Bettina Arndt, an Australian sex therapist of 35 years, noticed an ongoing trend. The married couples lining her waiting room were mainly complaining of the same marital gripe – the disappearance of sex. She then set about doing research to figure out what was happening, reports Jennie Curtin in the Brisbane Times.                      

The result: the book Sex Diaries, which comprises the candid sex-life diaries of 98 married couples, who chronicled daily activity with their spouses for up to a year.
