Poll: What Do You Enjoy As Much As Sex?

Posted by: Amelia McDonell-Parry 5:20PM, Friday November 06th 2009 Filed in: polls, sex

According to a survey conducted by Bacardi Breezers, women enjoy talking with their girlfriends as much as they enjoy having sex. I love my friends, but that is definitely not the case for me. A new episode of "Mad Men," a fresh copy of Lucky and a bowl of mac 'n' cheese, however? I might make the old "I'm tired excuse" to spend the evening indulging in that rather than sex. What about you?

What do you enjoy as much as sex?

Food. I love to try new restaurants and daring my palette as much as I like getting creative between the sheets.
Shopping. That skip in my step after I've purchased a new pair of shoes is just like my post-roll in the hay stroll.
Massages, facials, etc. An hour long rubdown followed by a mani-pedi and some peace and quiet sounds just as good as knockin' boots.
Traveling. Visiting new lands is just as exciting as getting freaky with the natives.
Music, movies, TV, and books -- going to see a new band play or a having movie marathon gives me the same thrill as gettin' it on.
Talking and hanging out with friends. Bacardi got it right!
Other -- I'll tell you what gets me off as much as sex in the comments!
Nothing. Absolutely nothing is as good as sex. Including voting in polls!

Poll: What Would Get You To Take Your Ex Back?

Posted by: Simcha Whitehill 9:45AM, Wednesday November 04th 2009 Filed in: relationships, polls

Yesterday, I poured over Wendy’s “15 Signs You’re Over Your Ex,” and then immediately felt tempted to catch up on my Facebook “reading.” I’m weak, weak I tell you! I know I already cried on your shoulder about the “Signs You Should Take Your Ex Back” -- and then totally messed them up myself. Guess we all make mistakes. But I wonder, what if he had brought me flowers or even a box of candy one of those times he showed up at my door? Would a simple gesture have convinced me to give it one more go? That’s what Japanese artist Mashairo Minami bets. He just won first place at the Tokyo Midtown Awards for his Samurai hair-shaped candies, which say “I’m sorry, baby” oh-so sweetly. Since a Samurai’s badass chonmage (top knot of hair) is also a mark of his pride and status, giving you the lock, let alone an edible piece, is supposed to show any woman r-e-s-p-e-c-t. Now, if a guy goes and cuts his real hair off, we might think he’s gone crazy, but would a token of gummi candy do the trick for you ladies?

What would get you to take an ex back?

The way back to my heart is through my stomach. Candies, wining and dining, a special home-cooked meal, etc. Yep, that does the trick.
Candy is nice, but I'm into jewelry and fancy cars. You think Kim from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" takes Big Poppa back for less?
It's hard to admit when I'm wrong. If he wants to talk it out, I know he cares and that's the only reason to stay together.
I'm in it for the make-up sex. If he says sorry and flashes those puppy dog eyes, that's good enough for me!
Nothing. If I take him back, I'm lying down and giving up when I just need to move on.
He has to do something super romantic, something so brag-worthy that Jennifer Aniston would want to star in the movie version of our love story.

Poll: Would You Wear Pajamas In Public?

Posted by: Susannah Breslin 8:30AM, Wednesday November 04th 2009 Filed in: style, polls

Over at Boing Boing, my pal Xeni Jardin points to a Chengdu Business Daily item that reports a.) people in Shanghai sometimes walk around in public in their pajamas, and b.) the city government is cracking down on the practice because the World Expo is coming to town next year, and they don't want everyone wandering the streets in their jammies. According to the story, some of Shanghai's residents are crying foul, deeming the mandate a civil rights violation: "Aren't education and skill more important for people than the cosmetic beauty of acceptable garments?" Now, I know some of you out there have worn pajamas in public. I know this. Of course, others of you have not. Sometimes I see what appear to be sorority girls from the local university walking the supermarket aisles in their nightwear. Personally, I don't really care, but the more style-minded among us may take offense.

Poll: How Much Do You Drink On A First Date?

Posted by: Amelia McDonell-Parry 8:00AM, Tuesday November 03rd 2009 Filed in: relationships, polls

I was conversing with a dude this weekend about imbibing alcohol on a first date -- how much is too much and even too little. As someone who enjoys a good glass/bottle of wine, especially paired with food, dating someone who drinks is kind of, well, important to me. No offense to any readers who don't drink (especially those who are in recovery), but it would be difficult for me to date a non-drinker. That said, I don't want to date someone who can't have a good time without boozing it up either. I always do my darndest not to get drunk on a first date, mainly because I want to make the best decisions possible if I'm just starting to get to know someone -- and I certainly would be buggin' out a little if my date got smashed while I remained fairly sober. So, what about you?

Poll: How Slutty Was Your Halloween Costume This Year?

Posted by: Jessica Wakeman 12:30PM, Monday November 02nd 2009 Filed in: style, polls

Waaah, I feel so left out! I took my little nieces trick-or-treating on Halloween and (thank heavens) slutty Halloween costumes haven't weaseled their way to preschool yet. It's like "sexy" Halloween costumes never even happened! So fill me in on the dirty details of Saturday night, my Frisky friends:
