We all want to feel sexy. That's not even in question. It's especially full of the awesome to feel sexy for someone you're digging on.

So what actually turns guys on -- and what turns them off? What are some ways you can be extra sexy for your guy? What do men truly find attractive?

Here are some tips to help you figure out what gets those mysterious men going.

1) Light makeup. Most dudes, it turns out, don't jive with the layers of makeup we women spend tons of cash (and time!) on. So lose the heavy coat on your face and go easy. They tend to like natural beauty.

2) Drunk dialing. Being drunk often means your inhibitions are lower, which means you're more prone to say naughty things to your guy.

3) Texting the occasional sexy photo to his phone. Nothing risque, just something a little provocative.

4) Being flirty, not slutty. Dress a little flirty, but don't go all out into the trashy,

red bullThe other day, I stumbled across an article on CNN discussing the "other male problem." It was referring to premature ejaculation (men who can't hold on longer than a minute). And while premature ejaculation (PE) is its own nightmare, the idea that women want long, pounding, all night sex sessions is simply just outdated and wrong.

Women talk. And most of what I hear from my friends and myself is that 10-15 minutes of actual intercourse is plenty. Sure, we want foreplay and romance and cuddling after, but a man who can last 10 minutes is usually right on target.

And yet if you talk to men, you get something else entirely.

They joke: "I am going to give her the best 10 minutes of her life," they might say. But behind that bravado is actual shame and feelings of inadequacy as if 10 minutes is somehow way too short.

And while obviously there are exceptions -- after all, what honeymooner or

christian louboutinJust when we thought we'd heard it all as far as wacky plastic surgery procedures go, the growing trend of women getting "foot jobs" has us shaking our heads. Apparently some ladies just aren't willing to give up their favorite pair of high heels -- even if it means having to alter their feet in order to fit into them. Wait a minute -- didn't Cinderella teach us anything when we were little girls? If the shoe doesn't fit, then you probably shouldn't be wearing it?

These foot procedures, which have affectionately been dubbed "Loub Jobs," after famous heel designer Christian Louboutin, involve getting dermal fillers injected into the heels, balls of the feet, or even the toe pads. And oh yeah -- some women are even getting full blown "toe tucks" (actually having the sides of their pinkie toes shaved down) in order to cram their feet into trendy heels. (What the heck?)

Ah, true love. It's glorious but it doesn't always make it. To the next season, that is! Yes, now that the most functional pair in the Kardashian dynasty has chosen not continue their reality show, Khloe & Lamar, it's time that we look back, ponder, and take stock.

Khloe Kardashian started out as the sister who was most unlucky in the love department, but then laaaaaaaahhhhhh! [Insert sound of harps.] Along came Laaaaamaaaaar.

Let's see what valuable love lessons we can glean from this couple.

Khloe and Lamar were engaged a month after they met. Sounds like a recipe for disaster -- or a 72-day marriage -- but nope! The pair are still going strong. In fact, Khloe just said that "divorce is not an option."

Tequila Taste TestThere are few things I adore more than a holiday where drinking tequila is not only suggested, but encouraged. That's probably why I'm pumped for Cinco de Mayo this Saturday. Well that, and my undeniable obsession with pico de gallo.

If you're like me, you're anxiously gathering your celebratory necessities and can't help but wonder: Is it WORTH splurging and buying the better, more expensive brands? If so, is there a difference in taste? Heck -- you better believe that generally, if I'm going to shell out $60 for a bottle of liquor, it's gotta taste ah-maz-ing.

Well shoot! Wonder no more, today's your lucky day! Yup, your trusty friends here at The Stir did some investigating. For research purposes ONLY, we saddled up and tried three different tequilas in three different price points.
