Before I Die I Want to... have sex in a swimming pool
This week's bucket list edition goes out to reader Anna, who writes: "My boyfriend and I would love to have sex in [his parents'] pool at home.

"Ready Two Go" safer sex kits
We love anything that makes safer sex not only easier, but stylish.

Getty Images
The Huffington Post recently ran ten tips to better sex and sleep (in two installments) as part of Sophie Keller's "How Happy Is Your Home" series. Despite its earnest, new age-y, feng-shui tone which drives us nuts on principle, the advice is pretty much spot on, albeit a bit obvious: Keep your bedroom "simple, peaceful and uncluttered," don't have pictures of your in-laws around your bed, and make sure you can see the door easily from the bed--"hello intruders!" (our wording).
Mostly, we just feel the piece left out some important basic tips to help in the sex department of your bedroom: Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (9) | Blog
