Holly Hill knows all about extramarital affairs. After spending a year as a mistress for hire, she wrote the memoir "Sugarbabe" (Side note: If you want to get a book deal, do anything for a year) — and the pseudonymous author has plenty of wisdom for married women who don’t want to discover their spouses have been "hiking" the "Appalachian Trail."

As the U.S. reacts to Warren Jeffs’ shocking legal victory, Canada is embroiled in its own battle over polygamy. The British Columbia Supreme Court is considering whether outlawing polygamy would violate the constitutional right to religious freedom and freedom of expression. The case was prompted by the arrest of two of the country’s own Jeffs-like characters — the leaders of Bountiful, a rather, um, bountiful Mormon group in B.C. — but it gets at a much larger question: Is polygamy bad for society?
This July 4th, perhaps the focus for Mr. and Mrs. Politician should be more on the fireworks happening between their sheets (or lack thereof) rather than the one’s overlooking the Washington Monument.
That’s right, this holiday, if you love your country then please shag your partner.
We know it’s hard. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Between fundraisers and photo ops and everything else that’s happened since you two tied the knot, the spark has surely fizzled.

The hookup — that meeting and mating ritual that started among high school and college students — is becoming a trend among young people who have entered the workaday world. For the many who are delaying the responsibilities of marriage and child-rearing, hooking up has virtually replaced dating.
It is a major shift in the culture over the past few decades, says Kathleen Bogle, a professor of sociology and criminal justice at La Salle University.
Young people during one of the most sexually active periods of their lives aren’t necessarily looking for a mate. What used to be a mate-seeking ritual has shifted to hookups: sexual encounters with no strings attached.

If you decided to have sex every day, would your relationship benefit?
Two long-married couples decided to find out. When lovemaking fell off their respective “to-do” lists, they ditched the sweats, bought sex toys and books, stepped up exercise, lit candles, and took trips. Then they chronicled their “sexperiment” in two recently released books, Just Do It: How One Couple Turned Off the TV and Turned On Their Sex Lives for 101 Days (No Excuses!) by Doug Brown and 365 Nights: A Memoir of Intimacy by Charla Muller with Betsy Thorpe.
But will daily sex really help a relationship that’s hit a rough patch? Some experts say yes; others aren’t so sure. As for the two couples who tried it, the Browns and the Mullers, both say the experiment strengthened their marriages in — and out — of the bedroom.

The gals over at Lemondrop featured a great move for a shy girl to initiate a conversation with a guy at a bar. It’s such a great technique that I’ve unwittingly been the victim of it without even knowing (be sure to check it out).

If there is one topic that repeatedly gets the most buzz it’s sex. I’ve written on this topic several times thus far and I’ve always tried to approach the subject honestly.
One of the issues argued about in marriage may be the frequency of sex. The words too little or too much are often thrown around in this discussion. Regardless of which camp you find yourself, have you stopped to consider the impact the frequency of sex has upon your marriage?
Throughout the years there have been numerous research studies on the subject. Most notably beginning with Alfred Kinsey and his colleagues who surveyed over 11,000 men and women covering a wide variety of sexual issues, including how often they had sex. They discovered that young married couples tended to have sex approximately twice weekly.
