Make Time To Relax & Refresh This Summer!

It¹s summertime and the living is not always so easy. Your social calendar is full of weddings you absolutely must attend. You're trying to squeeze an extra hour of exercise and outdoor activities into each day while it's still light out until late. And your work load hasn't lightened up. In fact you're working extra to make up for time you took off over the summer holidays and to cover your co-workers' vacation schedules. If you don't slow down, summer is going to be over before you get a chance to enjoy it. Make a plan to spend the last month of summer putting the focus on relaxation. Establish a healthy routine that brings you peace and puts you on the road to bliss. We've got ideas to make all of your daily tasks more enjoyable. And then you'll be able to find the time for the things you really want to do…like have a lot of sex!

Ah, the perfect way to relax in the summer is to go to the spa. Take a friend and relax with a massage or a facial and just let your mind be blank for an entire day while you’re pampered by the professionals. Or if you stay at home for a do-it-yourself spa day, make sure you designate a quiet area in the house where you won’t be disturbed or distracted.

Leave the kids behind for a trip to the pool, because it’s not just any old hot summer day outing. Go to the pool with the intention of relaxing and unwinding. Bring a towel that’s fresh and fluffy out of the dryer. Lay it out on a pool chair and bask in the glorious sunshine. Close your eyes and let yourself fall asleep if you feel like it. Or nap in the shade if that’s what turns you on.

It's steamy hot outside, so why not make it just as hot inside when you relax at home with a steamy DVD. Find a sexy movie that turns you both on and a cool space to relax. As you watch, feed each other popsicles or chilled white wine. Kissing and nuzzling will soon lead to body massages. The next thing you know, you'll be teaching the people in the film you're watching a new move or two. 

You don't have to wait until you are in bed to unleash your sexual beast. Let your sexuality shine when you tell your lover that you're going to run errands…but you're not wearing any panties underneath your miniskirt. Or send some sexy texts to your significant other while you are away from each other with all the dirty details of what you plan to do to him when you're together again. 

After a night of sexual escapades make plans to have breakfast Al Fresco. You're already feeling relaxed after an evening of amorous activity, so put on a sexy robe and serve pancakes and orange juice outside on the patio. That maple syrup doesn't have to be limited for use on the pancake. There are plenty of other places you might want to try drizzling it. Then have him lick it off.

Sexy Summer Aphrodisiacs

Are you thinking about whipping up a summer love potion?

It's that time of year when things get sizzling hot outside and your thoughts become focused on sex and romance. It's the perfect time of year to include a few foods that may have aphrodisiac properties in a romantic dinner just for two.

We've got some great ideas about what you should have on your table to increase you and your lover's libido.

Strawberries: How could a tiny fruit that's covered in seeds not be a symbol of fertility and sex? It's also delicious and sweet. And perfect when paired with the year-round libido-stimulating chocolate. Yum!

Honey: You can drizzle it all over your lover's body and then lick it off for fun. Honey was  once known as the “nectar of Aphrodite" and has been known to have properties that give people an extra boost of energy.

Basil: This leafy herb is said to increase blood flow, and as you know, sex is all about the blood flow. So nibble a little basil and don't be surprised if you notice your sex drive revving up. If that doesn't pump up your libido, what will?

Arugula: It's spicy! And it makes a delicious summer salad, especially when you include asparagus, a vegetable that's been known to boost your stamina (in bed).

Tomatoes: These delicious fruits of summer were once known as "love apples." Pair them with basil and some fresh mozzarella to make a summer salad that will certainly satisfy you and whet your appetite for a little somethin' somethin' after dinner.

Bananas: How can you not consider this phallic shaped treat an aphrodisiac. Not only is it delicious, the potassium punch that it packs will keep you from getting muscle cramps when you're involved in *ahem* strenuous activity.

Make Your Summer Sizzle!

Are you ready to make your love life as steamy hot as the temperatures outside? It's time to celebrate summer's real sizzle. In honor of longer days and hot balmy nights, we’ve got some great ideas for you and your significant other to really feel the heat during this summer season. The summer will last longer when you're in the middle of a summer romance. So take the time to start something new with someone special or toss some extra fuel onto your current one.  Here are some ideas that will really spice up your summer!

Go skinny dipping! Find a place to get naked together in the great outdoors. You can get creative without getting caught. Sneak out on the balcony of your hotel, paddle a boat out into the middle of the lake, or go swimming late at night and see where the mood takes you. The memories of your risque outdoor escape will give you pleasure for months to come.

Turn up the heat! It's hot, why not make it even hotter? Try having sex without the air conditioner. Go ahead, get sweaty. Want to make it hotter? Try a warming lubricant when you give your man a hand job. The dangerous combination of will make your man sizzle more than the summer sun. Before he reaches climax, get on top of him – the lubricant will you drive wild too!

Do you remember how excited you used to get when you were a kid and you heard the ice cream truck coming down the street? You'll get even more excited when you take turns sliding popsicles over each other’s bodies. Make sure you pay special attention to the erogenous zones. Popsicles taste better ice cubes, and all that licking will eventually lead to a two-person shower -- and won't that be fun?

The next time you're at a bar together, surprise your guy by asking him if he'd like body shot of his favorite liquor. You'll have to keep it R-rated in public. But you can take it up a notch at home on your patio by serving drinks that have been poured into each other's belly button or between your breasts. Hot summer sex is sure to follow!

Can't afford a trip to an exotic location this summer? Why not try some exotic cuisine instead? There are many ethnic restaurants in your local area that you've never tried. Why not try a meal that comes with a belly dance? Or you can always find a recipe and try it out at home together. Make a meal that includes aphrodisiac ingredients and things might get really spicy after dinner!

20 Questions To Ask On A First Date

Most people will tell you that they hate dating. Especially first dates. You're both nervous. You're both uncertain. You're feeling unfamiliar. And it's a lot like a job interview, so you're worried about making a good impression.

What if instead of worrying about making a good impression, you put the focus on your date. You make them feel comfortable by asking questions about them. That would probably make them feel like you are interested in them. And it would be a great way to make a good first impression.

So all you would need is a few questions to get the conversation started on your first date. But remember to be engaged and listen to the answers.  Don't interrupt. 

Here are 20 Questions to break the silence.

1. Where do you work? What do you do? Have you found your dream job?

2. What's your favorite dessert?

3. What food do you hate?

4. What's your favorite movie of all time? What kind of movies do you like?  

5. What do you do in your free time? What do you do for fun? What is your passion?

6. Where is your dream travel destination? Have you ever been there?

7. Are you a cat or a dog person?

8. If you ruled the world, what would you change about it?

9. What's the best piece of advice you ever gotten from a total stranger?

10. Who do you admire most? Not famous and famous.

11. Are you an early bird or a night owl?

12. What's one thing about you that would surprise me?

13. Where do you feel the most relaxed?

14. What's your favorite way to spend a Saturday?

15. If your house was on fire, what’s the first thing you’d grab to save?

16. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

17. What was your worst job ever?

18. What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done?

19. What’s the luckiest thing that’s ever happened to you?

And just in case things are going well and you want to go a little deeper:

20. How long ago was your last relationship? Why do you think it didn't work?

But that last one is really a question that you can explore further on your second date. 

Remember, it is the other person's first date with you too and they may be just as nervous.
Just relax, listen, and enjoy getting to know the other person on your first date. You never get a second chance to have a good first date.

Summer Romance For Busy Couples

Let's face it, summer makes you want to be on vacation every day. Unfortunately, you've got so many responsibilities that are keeping you busy. And preventing you from enjoy the warm weather and hot romance with your significant other.

We've got some ideas of how you can get together and enjoy each other even if you're both over-scheduled. Time for sex, anyone?

Get Pedicures Together
Get pampered together as a pair! Go get pedicures and foot massages. Don't forget to bring your flip flops.

Dine Under the Stars
Go out for dinner and ask to be seated outside. You'll feel like you're on vacation almost every night of the week. Enjoy dining under the stars.

Meet Up for Happy Hour
Head over to a local restaurant for Happy Hour! Sip on a frozen daiquiri and share some appetizers before heading home for sex. Or dinner. Whichever comes first.

Make Ice Cream
You can get an ice cream making attachment for your mixer and make your own at home. Spice things up a bit by using some ingredients with aphrodisiac qualities.

Watch a movie—outside
You can see an outdoor movie in parks and on lawns during the warmer months. Join the crowd or enjoy a showing of a classic like Casablanca in your  own backyard. It's the ultimate romantic 
backdrop.

Channel your inner child
Let your hair down and set up a play date with your guy. Go to the park and hang upside down on the jungle gym. Or try tossing a Frisbee, or playing a game of Wiffle Ball.

Get Sudsy
Take a bubble bath together. After a sweltering summer day, getting a little wet-n-wild with your partner can be refreshing...and sexy.

Choose A Side
There's nothing that gets sparks flying as much as a little competition. You can choose your battle. Choose to play cards, a board game or a video game. (Strip Monopoly, anyone?)

Make Your Own Fireworks!

The Fourth of July is set aside to celebrate our nation's independence. It's also a great time to enjoy the company of your significant other and really make your summer sizzle. This year the holiday may also be the start of a long weekend for many people. You may be able to find a way to celebrate the holiday with your family and then get away alone together to celebrate your love. We've got some great ideas about fun ways to ignite some sparks of your own. 

 From pancake breakfasts to pie-eating contests, every small town in America has some kind of free activities -- and fun -- for you and your date to enjoy. Look at your local Chamber of Commerce website. Or check out Festivals.com to find out what sort of local activities are planned near you. Then get out and get going. All that activity will boost your libido and make your nighttime celebrations more fun. 

Who doesn't love a parade? There's nothing as much fun as watching a marching band and baton twirlers coming down Main Street in a synchronized pattern. It is always thrilling to be with a large group celebrating our nation's independence. Grab an ice cream or snow cone and walk hand-in-hand through the crowd. A parade is the perfect time to enjoy a little PDA. 

There are always free concerts on the Fourth of July. Enjoy a band you’ve never heard before together. Outdoor concerts are very romantic. You just might hear the song you'll both call "your song" for many years to come. Not into music? You can also find food festivals and BBQs on the Fourth of July. Near the beach? Stake out a spot on the beach with a fire pit and enjoy fireside romance. 

Slip away for a sexy picnic just for two. While everyone else is taking in all the festivities, why not enjoy some time alone together. Grab a blanket, fill your picnic basket with your favorite foods (strawberries are thought to be a symbol of fertility and an aphrodisiac) and wine or champagne. You can camp out in your own backyard, or find another romantic and secluded location. Later, you can join the crowd for the celebration. 

End the night with a bang! No Independence Day celebration would be complete without a fireworks display. This year, try something different. Find a rooftop or a mountain view overlooking the city, and snuggle under the stars as you wait for the big show. If the fireworks are over or near a lake, you could opt to float on a boat underneath the falling sparks. When you're alone on the waves, you can have your own big finale.

Best Places To Meet Your Summer Romance

It's summertime and as the temperatures heat up, so do our thoughts about love and sex. Summer is a great time to meet someone new and enjoy the pleasures of a new romance. If you're sitting around the house daydreaming about romance, it's time to get off the sofa and get out and join the party. 

We've got ten great places for you to meet your summer romance. 

1. Beach 
 You don't have to look like a Sports Illustrated super model to have fun at the beach. All you have to do is get there. You can go and spend the day playing in the water and on the sand. Or you can go and read a book in the shade of an umbrella while listening to the relaxing sounds of waves lapping against the shore. Take a walk in the waves. Say "hi" to every person and every puppy that you meet. You just never know when you might find "the one." 

2. Ball Game 
 You don't have to spend a fortune on tickets for a MLB game. (But if you look, you may find some cheap tickets in the outfield.) It's all about atmosphere, and an MLB game is all about enjoying a summer evening with friends. The game is slow and relaxing. There's singing during the seventh inning stretch and ice cream. No MLB near you? Watch a college baseball game on campus or try a rec league game in a local park. 

3. Classroom 
 School is in for summer! It's the perfect time of year to explore something that you've always wanted to try, but never thought you'd get the chance. Take a sailing, surfing or paddleboarding class at the beach. Or try your hand at gourmet cooking. Sign up for a photography class and go on a safari. The options are endless. 

4. Girls' Night Out 

You don't have to hang with the boys to meet men. Plan a night out with your friends, and when you're having all that fun, you'll be sure to draw the attention of people who want to join in. 

5. Farmers Market 
You don't have to be a couple to enjoy a Farmers Market. In fact, you're more likely to interact and enjoy the vendors if you're alone. Take samples and ask questions. You may discover something (or someone) completely new. 

6. Outdoor Movies 
It's hard to find a local drive-in theatre -- but there are parks everywhere that are screening movies on the sides of buildings (and monuments in at least one Hollywood cemetery) in almost every city. Find out when your favorite guilty pleasure is showing -- and go. 

7. Dog Park 
It's a well-known fact that a man with a baby carriage is a chick magnet. And a girl with a dog on the other end of her leash is going to attract a lot of attention too. Make sure you and your pooch are friendly and outgoing. 

8. Volunteer 
There's one thing you should know about volunteering -- you will always get in return more than you are able to give. You'll find that giving of your time is more fun than just giving money. Find a charity that means something to you -- and volunteer. 

9. Amusement Park 
It's a place that's meant for people to have fun. Isn't that the perfect time and place to meet someone special? And you'll know exactly where to go on the anniversary of your first date. 

10. Ice Cream Store 
Let's face it, now that it stays light out so late, there's no reason to hang around in the house catching up on reruns. Get out and take a stroll up the street to your favorite ice cream spot or Fro Yo stand. It's the perfect cool treat on a hot summer night. And you never know who you might meet while you're standing in line.

Six Tips To Feel Sexy At The Beach

It's the first day of summer. That means beach season has officially begun. Many people look forward to a day frolicking at the beach, but for others it's a day filled with horrors -- starting with putting on a bathing suit.

A day at the beach can be fun…and sexy. We've got some ideas about how you can feel so sexy at the beach that Giselle Budchen won't have anything on you!

Get A Bathing Suit That Fits
You don't have to wear a string bikini. In fact, you shouldn't wear one unless that's how you feel the most comfortable. Instead find a suit that fits -- both your body and your style. There are stores online where you can buy different sized tops and bottoms. Go vintage and show your curves off like a pin-up. Or go more athletic with a one piece suit that will allow you to play in the sand and the waves.

Be Confident
Being confident often means being prepared. That means that you should bring all the essentials for a day at the beach. Don't forget your sunscreen and a snack. Bring and extra towel or two -- hair accessories, bug spray and band-aids are a great idea. And you might want to bring some lube -- just in case. (Go with silicone-based because it doesn't break down in water.) Select a back pack or beach tote that's big enough to fit everything you need.

Wear A Hat
Let's face it. If you're going to spend a day getting in and out of the water, you're probably not going to be able to maintain a blow-dry style. There's no need to fuss. Plan on wearing a hat. It will help keep the sun off your face and make you feel chic and sexy.

Smell Good
There is nothing sexier than a tropical breeze. Make sure you smell like one by moisturizing with your favorite aromatherapy oils before you leave for the beach. Apply your SPF sunscreen at the beach. And reapply often.

Be Active
Don't spend the day baking like a cookie on an oven rack. Enjoy your time at the water. There are so many activities that you can't do anywhere else. Go for a hike along the shore. Swim and body surf in the waves. If the water is smooth, you can learn how to paddleboard. If you want to stay on dry land, then play volleyball or touch football.


Spend Some Time Alone
There is nothing sexier than a man or woman with a secret. So don't feel like you have to be the life of the party. Take some time to nap in the shade or read a book under an umbrella. Someone might be intrigued enough to come over and ask questions.

Summer Weddings: How To Be The Perfect Plus One

If you're in your twenties, you're probably spending almost every weekend this summer going to someone's wedding. If it isn't one of your friends, then you're going to be going as someone's Plus One. 

Weddings can be great places to meet and socialize with people outside of your social circle. You might make a new friend or score a hot date, but before you turn down a wedding invitation, we've got some ideas about how you can turn a summer wedding invite into an opportunity for a hook up, or romance.

We've got a few dos and don'ts about being the perfect "Plus One" at a summer wedding.

Do Be Mr. Right Now
Your date might not be the woman of your dreams, but you probably aren't the man of her dreams either. That doesn't mean that you should fuss and fight all night. Find out what you have in common and share those things. You just never know, you might end up finding romance. Or it might be a hot hook up. Either way, be honest about what you both want out of the evening before you start drinking.

Do Bust A Move On The Dance Floor
Aunt Martha hasn't been asked out on the dance floor for years, why not make her night and ask her to dance? Dance with your date at least once. And make sure there isn't someone else who's pining to get out on the dance floor. Doing something nice for someone else, especially a total stranger, always pays back in dividends.

Don't Drink Like It's An Open Bar
…Even if it is. Not having close friends or family members at a social event isn't an invitation for bad behavior. Since the liquor tab is being picked up, there may be a long line at the bar. Make an effort to go and stand in line and get drinks for more than one person at your table. Why not? It makes you look like a hero.

Don't Forget To Thank The Host
Even if you don't know the family hosting the wedding. A few words of thanks and some thoughtful best wishes for the bride and groom are a nice way to make sure you are well-remembered.

Don't Be Late
Make sure that the bride is the last person down the aisle. If you're the guest of a guest, you want to make sure that you're not the reason that the nuptials are put on hold.

Do Network
Are you in the job market? There's no reason why you shouldn't take the name and email address of the bride's uncle who may be hiring in the future. Looking for a date? If there's someone you find attractive at the wedding, there's no reason you shouldn't

Celebrate Sexy Dads This Father's Day!

What Does Your Man Want Most For Father's Day?

Father's Day isn't just about kids showing appreciation for their dads. It's about you showing some extra love and TLC to the men in your life — including your significant other. This Father's Day, get back to the basics. Make your man feel like the sexiest man alive by carving out time for the two of you to spend time together. That's how it all began. Tell your partner that you want to make sure that sex and intimacy is always a part of your daily lives. Having a healthy sex life will make the good times you share together even better, and the inevitable rough patches you hit a little easier to bear. We've got some ideas for celebrating the man in your life.

Give the gift of oral sex. It's always the right size and it never goes out of style. Yes, it may seem a little clichéd, but if your man works hard and makes you and your children the center of his world, he deserves something really special. So maybe you can wake him up with a kiss he won't soon forget. It's the gift that keeps on giving. You never know, your man just might return the favor.

Show a little skin and give him some sexy photos of you. You can go all out and hire a professional photographer to make you look like a Maxim model. Or you can take your own photos on your cell phone and send them to him throughout the day like breadcrumbs. By the time he gets home, he'll be willing to follow you almost anywhere.

Plan a romantic getaway just for two. Return to a place that is special to both of you, or explore a new location that you've never been to before. Want to step over the line? Make plans to spend the day at a nude beach or European-style pool. Really want to wow him? Surprise him with plans for a weekend at a clothing-optional resort.

He works hard for his money and when he gets home he's always your honey. Doesn't he deserve a sensual massage? Give him the gift of relaxation and release. You can give him a certificate for a massage (and maybe join him for a couples rub down). Or, even better, you can give his muscles a little rub-and-tug in the privacy of your own home.

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. So it seems like on Father's Day, a great way for you to celebrate your man is to serve him a meal of his favorite foods. Hot wings and nachos aren't health foods, but just this once you can give your man what he wants and not remind him to go to the gym. Maybe you can have sex at home instead.

12 Top Spots For Sexy Summer Outdoor Lovin'

The temperatures are starting to sizzle and now that it's light out long after dinner, you've got to admit that you and your special someone are more active. With all that extra free time on your hands, it's no wonder your thoughts stray to getting sexy in the great outdoors.

For many people it's a big turn on. It can be a little risky because in some locations you risk getting caught, but it's a chance you just might want to take. We've got some great ideas for sizzling summer sex locations.

1. Your Backyard
If you've got privacy, why not try a sprinkler skinny-dip? Running naked through a sprinkler in your backyard is about as erotic (and fun)  as it gets.

2. In The Water
Send the kids off to Grandma's house and enjoy some quality time in your backyard pool or spa. No reason that you need to wear bathing suits.

3. The Car
It's not as easy as it sounds, but it will make you feel like you're back in high school again. Just be sure not to get a cramp or get arrested.

4. Inside A Tent
Sex in a tent can be romantic and sexy. You have to be adventurous and enjoy camping. And sometimes you have to enjoy Grizzly bears, sleeping on rocks, and food cooked over a campfire.

5. Up On The Roof
They write songs about getting freaky on the roof of buildings. If you live in a big city, you'll never wonder why. It's the closest you can get to having sex under the stars without camping (see above).

6. On A Screened Porch
It's the perfect place for first timers to try having sex in the great outdoors. Yes, you're out in the open, but you still have a roof over your head and so, technically, you're still indoors.

7. Five Yard Line
So many people fantasize about having sex in the stadium of their favorite sports team. Just remember if you choose to turn your fantasy into reality, watch out for security guards and sprinkler systems on timers.

8. Under A Waterfall
After a hike back to a remote and exotic location, there is no better way to celebrate. Ask a local tour guide for directions to a hidden waterfall.

9. On A Boat
On a small boat in the middle of the water you and your lover can enjoy a feeling of privacy like you can in few other places on earth. Why not indulge your passion and rock the boat?

10. On A Swing
That tire swing on your grandparent's farm that you used to fly on every summer as a child, could bring you all kinds of new joy as an adult. You just have to wait until everyone else is in bed and try to be quiet.

11. In A Dark Alley
This location is best when you're traveling to a seductive city like New Orleans or a small European village where the streets are narrow and not well traveled.

12. An Air Conditioned Room
When you're had your fill of having sex outdoors (if that's even possible), go home and have sex in front of the air conditioner. When the temperatures outside are in the triple digits outside, it is a blast!

Should You Have A Summer Romance?

“Summer lovin’… had me a blast.” 

Ahh, yes! With the countdown to summer vacation in full effect, you can already taste poolside piña coladas and the lips of the sexy local that you’ll fall for this summer. 

As cliché as the “summer fling” is conceived to be, there are many of reasons why they work, and why they don't. A summer fling usually lasts longer than a one night stand, and it tends to be a little more romantic than "friends with benefits." So, should you have a "summer romance" this year?

We've put together a list of pros and cons of summer romance,. so you can decide for yourself and tell us in the comments below if you're going to indulge in a summer fling this year, or not. And why...

Pros
1. Gives you the opportunity to date someone outside of your social circle.
Maybe you've gotten into a rut and only date people who orbit in and around your social circle. Summer is the perfect time to break out of that rut and date someone just because they are geographically desirable. Who cares what they do for a living? It's all about if they're free on Friday night.

2. You won't have any emotional attachments.
Maybe you've just gotten out of a long term commitment. Now is the perfect time to let your emotions take a vacation while you do something that just feels so good.

3. Gives you a break from reality.
You can take a break from all the hats that you wear in your day-to-day life. This is especially important for single moms who don't have time for themselves. Instead of being a mom, this summer you can be a lover.

4. Be clear about what you want.
If you're just in it for the summer, make sure that everyone is clear what the rules are before you begin. That way there won't be any hurt feelings in the end.

5. Be bold.
Do something that challenges your comfort zone. If you usually wait for your partners to choose you, a summer fling is the perfect time for you to be bold and make some decisions.

Cons
1. You could complicate an already complicated relationship.
Getting involved in a summer fling just to make someone you're involved with back home jealous is not romantic at all.

2. You may be on opposite wavelengths; you want a fling and he wants commitment.
Be honest and be compassionate. Don't use someone just for your own needs.

3. Your fling could be married or committed.
Just because you feel like throwing caution to the wind, doesn't mean that you should cross the line into infidelity. Look before you leap.

4. Timing is everything.
You may be in the right place for a summer romance, both in spirit and in location -- but you may not find someone who is of like minds.

5. Your time could be better spent.
More daylight hours in the summertime makes us all more active and able to get more work done. Is there something else you should be doing this summer that might be more productive? Make sure that your summer romance isn't just a way to procrastinate from some hard work.

Michael Douglas Says Oral Sex May Have Caused His Cancer

Stop the presses! We can't believe what we heard through the Internet grapevine overnight.

Actor Michael Douglas, star of stage and screen and husband of the beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones says cunnilingus causes cancer? 

Could that be true? 

Seriously?

Douglas was at the Cannes International Film Festival being interviewed by Xan Brooks of The Guardian. When he was asked if he thought his throat cancer was caused by drinking and smoking, he went in another directon that the reporter clearly didn't anticipate.

"No. Because, without wanting to get too specific, this particular cancer is caused by HPV (Human Papilloma Virus), which actually comes about from cunnilingus," Douglas said.

The reporter, believing he may have misheard the actor, asked Douglas to repeat his answer.

"From cunnilingus. I mean, I did worry if the stress caused by my son's incarceration didn't help trigger it. But yeah, it's a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer."

And so just like that, Michael Douglas has brought awareness to the link between HPV and some forms of cancer. It is, in fact, true that there is a link between HPV and cancer. You can find out more about it in this MSNBC report.  

And now Michael Douglas is the new poster boy for oral sex. Who'd guessed that?

Have Sexy Fun This Memorial Day Weekend!

Are you ready for the first three day weekend of summer? 

Memorial Day is a time of remembrance for those who have died serving our country, and you should make the time to honor your favorite vet. It's also the unofficial kick-off of summer, and since many people have Monday off work, you'll get an extra day to celebrate! Do you remember how excited you used to get for summer vacation when you were a kid? Why not bring that feeling of sheer excitement to your love life over the holiday weekend. It is the perfect time to focus on romance. As the weather gets warmer and the nights get shorter, it's time to shed a little clothing and have fun in the sun. We've got some ideas that will make your Memorial Day holiday fun and sexy. 

There's nothing that says 'summer is here' better than melted marshmallows sandwiched between chocolate and graham crackers? Get messy and make S'mores over a campfire with someone special to kick off the warmer nights of summer. Things are bound to heat up between you two, with a romantic fire and a delicious aphrodisiac like chocolate running through your system. 

Not sure if you want to spend a night camping in the great outdoors? Why not try a camping day trip? All you'll need is a two-person tent and then you can stake out your site at a nearby regional park. Make sure to pack food, beverages, sunblock and bug spray. If you're lucky, you may find a campsite near water so you can go for a swim. The best part? Privacy is only a zippered tent door away! 

Take your first trip to the beach of the summer. You've been working so hard to shed those extra pounds it's time to head to the water. Pack up the car with all the essentials for a day at the shore: a picnic basket and blanket, sunblock, an umbrella, pool towels, and a cooler. Beaches get crowded when the weather is warm, so get there early to have time to cavort nearly naked in the sand with someone you love. 

Hot summer nights are magical when there's music in the air. It's the start of outdoor concert season. It's the perfect blend of great weather, good music, and good company. It's time to break out those cute cowgirl boots and short shorts and sway to the music with your man…or maybe that handsome stranger who just can't take his eyes off of you! 

Summer is the perfect time to escape from the city and head out to the country. You'll find many small towns celebrate locally grown fruits and vegetables with country fairs and festivals. It's a great way to have fun, try new foods, and meet new people. Go online to find an art festival or county fair near you. Share funnel cakes, sample local wines, and end a perfect night with a kiss atop the Ferris Wheel.

Online Dating Tips For Martha Stewart

Last week, Martha Stewart revealed that not only was she interested in dating, she's got a Match.com profile. Many people were shocked to think that a woman her age (she's 71) would want to date or more importantly take lover, but the rest of us know that a vibrant woman like Martha should be dating, and having sex.

We want to give Martha big kudos for embracing the Internet age and signing up for online dating. It's a great way to meet a lot of people quickly. She may not find her perfect match through an online dating site, but it is a great way to meet people outside of your own social circle.

There are a few rules that Martha (and her contemporaries) should keep in mind when they first start online dating.

Don't Have Sex On The First Date
              Unless you want to AND you're prepared. That means you've brought protection from STDs and you're only looking for a physical relationship. Know that relationships can change after you have sex, so if that's what you want -- go for it.  A few years ago, online daters had a third date rule -- that was the date when sex became an option. No one should ever feel pressure to make a date physical. Especially if you 've just jumped back into dating after a long period of time off. You know best when you're feeling sexy, make sure that you keep to your own schedule.

Avoid Dating George Clooney

                Unless you're just in it for fun. When a man says he doesn't want to have a relationship with one particular woman...believe him. Then just sit back and enjoy yourself and don't take it too seriously. This isn't your first rodeo, so you should be able to spot a selfish lover quickly. Trust your instincts. If you think that your date isn't as emotional invested as you are in being in a relationship, walk away, it's probably true. Life is too short to be dating anyone who doesn't fit your lifestyle .

Keep Your Options Open

                Just because you've made the final purchase doesn't mean you can't window shop. Dating online shouldn't narrow your options. You should continue to look for someone nice in your social circle or neighborhood. Getting to know someone in an exercise class or where you work or volunteer, takes the pressure off of dating. While you're letting that relationship develop, you can continue online dating so you won't be sitting home alone on a Saturday night.

Establish Your Boundaries

                Don't want to have someone sleep over at your house? Just want a companion for social events? Want to date someone who lives in a different geographic location. Perfect. Tell your date what you expect from dating. Being honest will avoid hurt feelings and confusion.

Don't Abandon Your Past            

Don't feel like you have to be a "born-again" virgin to get back into the dating scene. If you're dating other people your own age, they'll expect you to come with baggage -- including ex-spouses, children and grandchildren. Someone worth dating will embrace you and everything you bring with you -- just as you will embrace them.

Memorial Day Weekend Date Ideas

It's the first "unofficial" weekend of summer. You remember when you were in sixth grade it marked the beginning of the end. Only a week or two left before school was out for the summer and the fun would begin. 

Why not return to the thrills of your youth this weekend? Make a date to just have fun. Do something that puts you in touch with your "inner child" and take you back to a time when summer days were endless and casual Fridays were something only your dad participated in. 

We've got a few date night ideas to get your Memorial Day weekend off to a great start. 

1. Invite a friend or friends over for a BBQ. 
        Hotdogs, hamburgers and potato salad will be enough to get the party started. Maybe you can share a double dip ice cream cone for dessert. 

2. Spend a day at a botanical garden or arboretum.
        Lilacs and peonies are in full bloom this time of year and shouldn't be missed. Find a garden where you can lose yourself in the beauty of Mother Nature. 

3. Plan a nature hike.
       You know how to get to the hidden water fall, now call up a friend and take them there for the most romantic first kiss of all time. 

4. Outdoor movie screening.
       It's that time of year when you can go watch movies in your favorite park. It's a great way to share a laugh and a cuddle or two after dark. 

5. Learn a new sport.
      Now's the time to sign up for a class to learn a sport that you've always wanted to try -- but couldn't fit into your schedule. So you'll never be on the Olympic team, it doesn't mean it won't be fun. 

6. Go on a drive in the country.
      There's that one exit on your commute every day with the street name that beckons to you and makes you wonder what's out there. Now's the time to see it..and then some more. Get in the car and go. 

7. Follow a food truck. 
      Get your Twitter machine up and running and follow the location listed to the Food Truck that you've always wanted to try. There may even be a gathering of food trucks going on in your town. 

8. Take a train trip.
      Leave the driving to someone else and go off on a train trip to a tourist destination. Yes, it probably will be crowded (and fun) on Memorial Day, but if you take the train you won't have to worry about parking. 

9. Stay home 
      Catch up on the laundry, file paperwork in the home office, take a long afternoon nap, and then share a glass of wine with someone special in your own backyard. It all sounds too delicious for words. 

10. Sleep under the stars. 
      You don't have to go camping (but you could and it would be fun) to enjoy a night of star gazing with someone you admire. And don't forget to wish upon a shooting star. Your dreams just might come true.
