“I can go all night long, baby!” While this common guy claim is rarely true, is this really what women want? According to a Penn State Study published last spring, ”Satisfactory sexual intercourse for couples lasts from three to 13 minutes.” Damn, that’s less time than it takes me eat a burrito!  (Which, let’s face it, in some cases, can be more deliciously gratifying.) But sex, as we all know, is a quality over quantity thing. Going at it like bunnies until the break of dawn sounds fun, but with risk factors like chafing, early morning meetings, and general exhaustion, you can’t go on bumpin’ uglies forever—which explains why “women like sex to last, and last, and last” came in second in our poll of sexual misconceptions.  So, what do you consider the perfect amount of time strictly for D-in-V-style penetration?

Guys think they know oh so much about women and sex. “Women only like the missionary and never want to mix up positions!” “Every chick I’ve ever boned came like clockwork because I am just that good!” Puhlease. There are so many misconceptions about women and sex. But which is the biggest?

Now that you’ve read “Girl Talk: I’ve Had Labiaplasty Surgery” (doesn’t that sound like a future episode of MTV’s “True Life”?) we want you to weigh in on the somewhat controversial cosmetic procedure.

Yesterday we told you about how, thanks to a new spa trend, women are finally able to get happy endings. That’s right, after centuries of men being able to get some so easily, we ladies are finally getting our fair shot! However, even though the playing field has been leveled, we wonder, if you’re in a relationship, is it still considered out of bounds or is it just a fun way to score? After reading this awesome article by Gina from Mom Logic, who encouraged her husband to cash in and get off during his weekly massage, we had to wonder… do you consider a hand job from a professional masseuse cheating?

Yesterday I was chatting with our Mind Of Man about this very subject—he believes that woman, in fact, are generally the ones who want the lights on and that men (particularly him) want the lights off (or at least significantly dimmed). Personally, I don’t really care, though I would prefer not to knock off a lamp in the throes of passion because it’s so dark I can’t see my hand in front of my face. But what about you?

Yesterday we posted about the new website “Yes We Can (Hold Babies)”, a blog comprised of adorable Pro-Obama babies and babies being held by the Democratic Presidential candidate.  Then we noticed a strange thing: while it’s easy to find plenty of Associated Press photos of Obama holding and smooching little rugrats, McCain is rarely photographed with babies (see above EXCLUSIVE PROOF). Of the results for McCain, none of them actually featured the Senator HOLDING a child, though one was of him standing in front of a picture of a fetus. So what does this mean? Does the photographic record show that McCain HATES babies? Weigh in!

This Pill, which started the sexual revolution by preventing pregnancy, has also been accused of casting a curse on libido. A couple of the women interviewed for Time Out New York’s Sex Issue made it sound like the pill is damaging to their sexual desire and ruined their physical need to be ravaged.  It’s ironic that the thing that makes women able to engage in slightly more carefree sex is also conversely making them chaste, eh?  One of the women, referred to as “Ditched The Pill,”, who had been struggling with her lack of interest in having sex with her boyfriend, noted, “When I went off it, my libido skyrocketed; suddenly it was easy again.”  Is the pill that powerful?

Yeah, so I know “Dancing With The Stars” premiered this week and we’re all in a tizzy because Drew Barrymore snogged Chuck Bass, but did you know that there’s a serious economic crisis LOOMING? Between the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the sale of Merrill Lynch, AIG tanking, and the government planning a bailout to the tune of $200 billion, these are scary financial times. Certainly some are already feeling the pain more than others, as jobless rates soar to record highs, but it’s a given that we’re all going to feel the pinch eventually. So what are you cutting back on in order to save money and prepare for impending DOOM?

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the new 90210 is going to rip off certain aspects of story lines from the old Beverly Hills, 90210. On last night’s episode there were two such instances that were straight up nods to the old Nine-Oh. Read on…

I have this theory that Keira Knightley plays the same character in nearly every movie and gets lauded by critics as if she’s reinvented the wheel every time. With the exception of films like Domino, The Jacket, and Love Actually, Knightley is always cast a period film heroine from an upper-crust family who slums it with a poor guy or wins the heart of a rich cad. To prove my theory, I’ve assembled pictures of six of Keira’s most famous characters. See if you can match the letter of the image to the number of the film. FYI, I’ll reveal the answers at the end of the day, so check back.

THE FILMS: Atonement (1); The Duchess (2); King Arthur (3); Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy (4); Pride & Prejudice (5); Silk (6)

To help you judge, here’s the show in two minutes, as presented by Best Week Ever!

Don’t forget to watch the finale tonight! According to our poll last week, 42% are rooting for Katee to win, with Joshua (34%), Twitch (16%), and Courtney (8%) coming in second, third, and fourth in your hearts. But how about something more important—which couple really rocked your world, er, the dance floor?

Looks like Lorenzo isn’t the only renegade in the Lamas family.  His daughter, Shayne, has run off with a 2.65 carat engagement rock. Shayne made a name for herself as a contestant on The Bachelor: London Calling.  The wannabe actress won the heart of the bachelor from Britain, who infamously proposed to her by asking, “Monkey, will you marry me?”  Well, rumor has it Shayne has been monkeying around in Las Vegas with media magnate Justin Weneger. And another couple TV made has gone sadly, yet predictably, splitsville.  Since the engagement was broken, Matt Grant, who is now a bachelor again, wants the diamond and platinum engagement ring back. But Shayne is refusing to hand it over. Well, at least the girl has got balls as big as the rock! We’ve written about the etiquette during this situation before, but are dying for your opinion—would you still keep the ring bling? [Tango]

So You Think You Can Dance is my most favorite summer show (well, except maybe I like it a litttttle less than Big Brother because I appreciate that BB is on three times a week and I am a TV addict) and I have been insanely impressed with the talent this season. On last night’s episode, Mark and Chelsea were eliminated, leaving the final four below to perform and compete in next week’s finale. So who do you want to win? Before you vote in our poll, click past the jump to view their best performances.

According to CNN.com, 29% of people in relationships lie to their partners about their spending habits. Ha, we think 71% of people lie on surveys.  Everyone splurges every now and again! And when you share a bank account, you have to sneak around with some of your personal expenses. Men like to spend money on gadgets and porn, while women wad out cash at salons and retail stores.  But do you really want to fight about how you need your busted feet pedi-ed as much as he needs blonde bimbos to stream off the internets?  No way!  We say, in this economy, keep spending.  And save the lies for important things….like when you want to pretend you made dinner and throw out the take out containers.

The world’s oldest profession wants to finally go legit—the Erotic Service Providers Union (ESPU) in San Francisco is trying to protect their hard working membership, the Johns, and the Janes, by asking for the decriminalization of solicitation and prostitution. The city already has a unique First Offender Prostitution Program, which allows people arrested for soliciting sex the option to pay $1000 tuition fee for a graphic sexual health class.  Frankly, it also has a pretty poor success rate for scaring attendees back into thinking the best things in life are free, but the ESPU is less concerned with curbing their clients’ desires.  What the union really wants is to keep its workers safe, as many sex workers don’t report assaults or rapes because they’re afraid of being penalized for breaking the law with their profession. The ESPU has a bill on the ballot this fall that would decriminalize sex work in the city. They argue that when the pros have to sneak around to handle their business, it makes them exponentially more susceptible to abuse and exploitation. [Newsweek]

So what do you all think: should sex work be decriminalized (in San Francisco or anywhere else in the U.S.)?

Jude Law circa Gattaca was so hot I would have given my left breast if he’d just feel up my right one. Dapper, charismatic, and as sexy as his movies are long, Law of course broke the rules of romance and my heart. When he cheated on his fiance with the nanny, I felt cheated too, betrayed. How could my dreamboat be such a bastard?!  Jude’s real life bad behavior made him look just that.  Suddenly my superstar crush was super undesirable as he morphed in to a fugly philanderer.  And you know his cheating crime snowballed with his ex-fiance Sienna Miller, who dumped her fiance Rhys Ifans and housebroke with Balthazar Getty.  It’s a trail of tears! And now my movie star idolatry is Law-less.  After my fine guy fantasy turned ugly, I just can’t seem to find him attractive anymore, even in his new ad campaign (above). So tell me, ladies, does a celebrity’s bad behavior make you find them less attractive?

What with all the promiscuous sex the U.S. is having without condoms, we’re curious about how often you get tested for sexually transmitted diseases/infections. I will start: I last got tested, like, three years ago because I’ve been in a committed relationship for a lonnnng time, but prior to the man-friend I got tested every year. Now, take our poll!

Last night I was watching Hardball and Chris Matthews asked one of his guests, radio host Heidi Harris, why most women vote Democratic. She said, “Sadly, a lot of women are very emotional, and they tend to think with their hearts and not with their minds about some of these issues. They tend to feel more of these kind of things than think it through.” This annoyed me, on a number of levels, because A) I don’t think it’s true that women, in general, vote with their hearts not their heads, B) I don’t see what the problem is with voting with your heart, in theory, and C) can’t you vote with both? Like, the head follows the heart or another such phrase? Anyway, then Harris launched into a whole rant about how women don’t really care about issues like abortion rights because the young women can’t remember a time without Roe V. Wade, and older women are too dried up to get pregs anyways. It was way insulting. But it got me thinking about the election and how you vote.

Sam Taylor-Wood is a famous artist/photographer who did a series of photographs of Hollywood actors weeping. This is one of them and we think tears are becoming on 007’s cheeks. To see more, of actors like Benicio Del Toro, Jude Law, and Ryan Gosling, click here. But while you’re here, we’d like to hear your opinion—what do you think of dudes crying? I was watching Meet The Press this weekend, and when Tom Brokaw got all choked up over his pal Tim Russert, I got all weepy too.
