Even if the two of you have been busting bedsprings for years, marriage can bring your lust to a whole new level. Learn how to claim the best sex of your life.
By Jennifer Benjamin
Reportedly, one of the hottest trends these days for engaged couples is to declare sack sessions off-limits in the weeks before the wedding. The thinking: Banning booty guarantees that honeymoon sex will be as hot as possible. After all, if you're marrying someone you have dated for years or even lived with, chances are, the scorching sexual excitement you had when you first started banging headboards has probably been replaced with more sensual lovemaking.

Lately, there've been a lot of new va-jay-jay trends for women who, uh, think outside the box. Some could be appealing, but some are so ridiculous, you'll swear we made them up. Sadly, we didn't.

When we first heard about vajazzling, we thought it had to be a joke - a bedazzled hoo-ha seems more like an SNL skit than a sexy new trend. And now suddenly, it's everywhere. Even Jennifer Love Hewitt professed her love for the sparkle during an interview on The George Lopez Show, saying it's like a "little disco ball down there." TMI? Probably. But we wanted to know what the fuss is about, so we asked Cindy Barshop, founder of the Completely Bare Spa, in New York City, one of the first to offer jeweled waxes. "Now that the Brazilian is mainstream, women want new ways to make the area special," says Barshop. When you get vajazzled, you can choose from patterns like a flower or a heart, or ask for a custom design.

Honey,
Thank God you are not traveling this week! You need to talk to your manager about masks. They should be looking out for employees. They should supply them. This virus is attacking young, healthy people. The concern is that it will mix with other viruses and become more dangerous. Refrain from large groups of people or if you can't, wear a mask. It's not about looking good. It's about being smart!
I love you.

It's finally time for spring's easy and forgiving clothes. I'm so excited to shed my dark sweaters, coats, and tights for fun printed summer dresses!
This dress, the Maurie and Eve Observation, is the perfect shape for a baby belly.
It's flowy, and the asymmetrical bottom makes me feel sexy. The leather straps have gold studs so I don't even have to bother with jewelry. It's a little short for me to wear as a dress right now, so I've layered an American Apparel stretch pencil skirt underneath for coverage.

You many have noticed I wear American Apparel under a lot of things while pregnant. I found that a lot of clothes that used to look great on me now seem a little too revealing and inappropriate thanks to my curves. But using basic stretch pieces as a first layer are an easy and cheap fix.
By the way, you can steal this trick even if you're not pregnant. Adding the stretchy layer is a great way to feel more comfortable in

"I hate it when chicks turn into 'spies' and go digging into your older posts/pictures trying to find dirt, and then ask you about the women they don't know. It's as if they're trying to catch you in some secret affair! Look, if it's out there for you/all too see, I'm obviously not hiding anything!" -Mike, 32

That's the question MIT psychologists set out to answer in a recent study, just published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
By Zoë Ruderman
(Uh, we know they're wicked smart and all, but did the researchers really not think to include "during sex" as one of the options? Because, let's be honest-it's not uncommon for the L-word to be said for the first time during a hookup.)
Anyway, here's what the study found: Women prefer to hear those three words for the first time after sex, but guys are happier when women say it to them for the first time before sex.
The psychologists theorized that a dude hears I love you and takes it as a sign that sex could be in the near future. Whereas women may hear it and assume it means the guy didn't view the sex as just a one-night stand or F-buddy thing.
