Some people just can't seem to stay away from Bad Boys. But as our gay BFF points out, too often we're the ones who keep coming back for more.

I've got it bad for Bad Boys. Always have. Let's face it, they're hot (in movies, anyway). Their lives are exotic (not that you really know where they are most of the time). And when you're lucky enough to cling to them for dear life on the back of their motorcycle, you're never bored (so what if your adrenal glands start to prune after week one?).

But recently, I've begun to examine my side of my Bad-Boy attraction. Bad Boys are who they are and unfortunately, there's an endless supply of them. But why do I keep going after them? What are they giving me? What do I get out of these "relationships?"

After some serious self-reflection and about $800 in therapy sessions, (FYI, that's $800 worth of $20 co-pays - yep, a lot of sessions), I've unearthed some hard-to-face facts that I think are

Who knew a movie about four New York women obsessed with designer shoes and frilly cocktails would elicit top-level secrecy usually reserved for the makers of Twilight. Still, when paparazzi photos leaked of a script in Kim Cattrall's hand - with a mention of Samantha's sexy ex, Smith Jerrod - the studio decided to stop at nothing to keep every plot detail under wraps.

Here's how they did it:

1. Confidentiality Agreements
Actors, production managers, and editors signed two-page agreements saying that anyone who revealed plot points would be slapped with a fine of $2.5 million, according to a source close to the production crew.

3. Monogrammed Scripts

Still, there is something pretty satisfying about feeling as if you've settled the score, at least a little bit. Here, a few of our readers tell how they exacted their revenge.

When Tanerah was living in Santa Cruz, CA, and found out that her boyfriend was cheating on her, she took cues from her favorite television show. "I used to be addicted to Sex and the City," she says. "When I discovered that my then-boyfriend was cheating, and it turned out that I was actually - unknowingly - the

I know I'm not the first or the last to say this, but guys are weird. Take this example: Saturday night, I was rocking a sexy dress and this gorgeous makeup look and I had to prompt my boyfriend to tell me I looked "nice" (btw, I looked waaaaay better than "nice," thanks to these tips).

Cut to Sunday morning. I'm heading down to pick up coffee with absolutely no makeup on, my hair in a baseball cap, wearing jeans and an old t-shirt. What does the boyfriend say? "You look really pretty today." Totally unsolicited compliment! Does your guy ever do that?

What's the lesson here? Well, other than some guys just don't appreciate awesome hair and makeup looks like these, it's that sexiness comes in a lot of different forms. Don't believe me? Check out this quiz -- it'll show you what type of sexy you are and how to work it to your advantage.

So will I be giving up my fabulous mascara and living a life of no-makeup makeup? Uh, no. I like playing with my look way too much for

Find out everything you want to know about SATC 2.

"I actually love the show and am not afraid to tell people. I think the dialogue is the best part. One of my favorite scenes was when Samantha threw the lemons at the young chicks sleeping with her "man" at his posh house in the Hamptons. You wouldn't see such ballsiness anywhere else." -Dima, 25
