Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio gave birth to her first child last August, but says she didn’t really do anything to regain her figure.
According to the New York Daily News:
Ambrosio told guests at Russell James’ book launch on Wednesday that she barely lifted a finger to get her body back after having a baby. “I only do yoga once a week or so, but that’s it for now,” she shrugged.
Less than three months after giving birth she walked in the Victoria’s Secret show November 15.
Parents have worried for generations about changing moral values and risky behavior among young people, and the latest news seems particularly worrisome.
It came from the National Center for Health Statistics, which reported this month that births to 15- to 19-year-olds had risen for the first time in more than a decade.
This morning we were all set to write a post about new device called the “Love Trainer,” a headset you wear during sex that monitors body functions like heart rate and gives you instructions like, “following the beat, make love much harder.” The video for the love trainer promises to take your sex life to the next level through “patented biofeedback technology” that “coach you to optimal sexual performance.”
We were going to make jokes like, “does the Love Trainer short circuit if you have group sex?” and “probably not the best Valentine’s Day gift,” but it turns out the Love Trainer is a hoax. But That gave us an excuse to compile a list of other internet sex hoaxes. Read on, and impress your next date with your intimate knowledge of web whoppers.
Sex pheromones flow freely as Americans make interracial sexytime. Since the 1967 Loving v. Virginia Supreme Court decision struck down anti-miscegenation laws — bans against domestic, marital or sexual intermingling between various ethnic groups – the number of multicultural couples bouncing their mattresses to marital bliss has increased. In celebration of our multi-ethnic president’s parents, why not cozy up to your DVD player and watch one or more of the Top 10 Movies with Steamy Interracial Couples? Selected film trailers and other juicy nibbles are available online.
On Tuesday, NBC declared a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals commercial—featuring, among other suggestive images, a woman preparing to pleasure herself with a broccoli stalk—too racy to be shown during the Super Bowl. The text in PETA’s advertisement reads: “Studies show vegetarians have better sex.” Do they?
Not necessarily. In a statement released in response to NBC’s decision, PETA noted that meat makes people “fat, sick, and boring in bed,” claiming that vegetarians are, “on average, fitter and slimmer than meat eaters” and that meat and dairy consumption is linked to impotence, heart disease, and obesity. It’s true that cardiovascular disease is associated with sexual dysfunction in both women and men and that obesity has been linked to low libido in both sexes. It’s also true that, in Westernized countries at least, vegetarians and vegans tend to weigh less and have lower body-mass indexes and lower cholesterol levels than omnivores. This may be due to the fact that vegetarian diets tend to be higher in fiber and lower in protein, but it also may have to do with the fact that vegetarians are, in general, more health-conscious. An avowed vegetarian who ate nothing but french fries, after all, would run a high risk of both obesity and heart disease. (A PETA spokesman cited research on vegetarian diet plans developed by Dr. Dean Ornish and Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn as sources for the commercial’s claims—both regimens are also strictly low-fat and low-cholesterol.)
Vegetarianism also may have some negative effects on sexual desire. Vegetarian diets tend to correlate with higher rates of zinc deficiency, which is closely associated with lower testosterone levels and depressed sex drives. Vegetarian women are also more likely to develop amenorrhea (loss of periods), a condition that’s usually accompanied by low testosterone, vaginal dryness, and poor libido. Finally, the notion that overweight people are less sexually active isn’t entirely accurate (for women, at least): A recent analysis published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology shows that overweight women might, in fact, be slightly more active.

MIAMI — Flight attendants and pilots for Spirit Airlines Inc. want the company to pull a series of sexually suggestive advertisements, along with a new requirement they wear a Bud Light patch on service aprons.
Patricia A. Friend, head of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, complained in a letter to Spirit executives this month. When the airline refused to change the ad campaigns, and the aprons were handed out Monday, the union issued a public statement. Pilots followed suit Wednesday.
“I feel as though I have entered a time warp and am reliving the battles for respect and justice for women that we fought for 40 years ago,” Friend said.
