If you found a new guy to kiss right before the clock hit midnight on New Year's Eve, I don't think you were alone - who doesn't want to start off the new year with a kiss? So if this scenario sounds familiar, I'm curious to know if that celebratory smooch sparked something more. Tell me ladies, have you been in contact with your New Year's Eve kiss since the big day?

DearSugar — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 09:00:00 -0800

Since it's pretty unlikely that any of us will be able to kiss our celebrity crush this New Year's Eve, I've got to ask, whether you're coupled up or not, do you have someone to kiss on New Year's Eve?

The holiday season usually goes hand-in-hand with big blockbuster movies, and this year, there's no shortage of eye candy on the silver screen!

DearSugar — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 09:00:00 -0800

2008 is coming to an end, so I thought it'd be fun to take a look back and reflect on everything you've accomplished and experienced this year. Throughout December, I'll be taking you on a trip down memory lane so get ready to be nostalgic!

If you're single, I bet you kissed your fair share of frogs this year; I know I did! A kiss can say a lot, especially in the chemistry department, so I've always thought it was a good idea to test the merchandise before buying the goods - so to speak! In the spirit of wrapping up the year, tell us, approximately how many first kisses did you have in 2008?

Condoleezza Rice Commands Kiss Army, Rocks All Nite Long

CitizenSugar — Fri, 30 May 2008 08:00:40 -0700

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has a new job: Commander in Chief of Rock and Roll. Sort of. Rice was in Stockholm, Sweden yesterday for a conference on Iraq - and KISS just happened to be there to play a sold-out concert. Who knew Condi was a secret member of the KISS Army? Her favorite song might make her the perfect candidate for a 3 a.m. call - she loves "Rock and Roll All Nite."

Her day job comes with perks - Rice got her own late-night encounter with KISS frontman Gene Simmons and bandmates Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer in the executive lounge of the Sheraton Hotel. The rockers signed autographs and handed out backstage passes and T-shirts to her staff. Condi's reaction? "I was thrilled! It was really fun to meet Kiss and Gene Simmons." Rice is no stranger to music, she's a classically trained pianist, has claimed eclectic favorites ranging from Beethoven to Bruce Springsteen.

As big a thrill as her KISS run-in was, Rice conceded she has never seen the band in concert. She could fix that this summer when the band plays Lake Tahoe August 30. It might just be "Hotter than Hell."

Dear Poll: Is There Anyone You Regret Not Hooking Up With?

DearSugar — Thu, 22 May 2008 15:00:00 -0700

The other night my girlfriends were trying to count how many past hookups they could preface with, "it seemed like a good idea at the time." It’s not that they regretted anything per se; it’s just that hindsight is 20/20!

In fact, their actual regrets seemed to be more about the people that they didn’t hook up with when they had the chance, rather than those they'd like to forget. I knew past relationships could carry their own regrets or nostalgia, but as it turns out, so can the relationships or makeout sessions that never were. So ladies, looking back, is there anyone you regret not hooking up with?

Not a Fan of Morning Sex? Try This

DearSugar — Tue, 06 May 2008 11:00:00 -0700

A while back I talked about the pros and cons of morning and evening sex. Now I happen to be a fan of both but if you've never been into getting it on in the a.m, here are some ways you can help make morning sex more desirable.

If morning breath is a turn off for you, who says you have to kiss on the lips? Kissing everywhere else can be a real turn on too, especially on the neck, ears, chest, and back.
If kissing on the lips is a must for you, keep some mints or gum in your nightstand drawer.
Morning sex doesn't have to happen immediately upon waking, so don't worry if you have to visit the ladies room. Just do it quickly and then hop right back into bed!

Want to see some more tips? Then read more.

If you're always short on time in the mornings, set your alarm a little earlier. Sex is a great way to "snooze."
If brightness turns you off, get some thick curtains that block out the morning sun. That way when you wake up, it'll still feel dark and cozy.
If you're into morning sex but your partner's not, wake him up in the sexiest way you know how, tell him you've been dreaming about him all night and I guarantee it'll make him feel in the mood, too.
If you do like morning sex but it's lost its charm, try having it every once in a while. That way when you do have it, it'll be like unwrapping a sweet treat.

Are We Blushing, Simon Cowell?

GiggleSugar — Fri, 02 May 2008 10:00:00 -0700

Simon Cowell received a surprise phone call from an old flame this past week on American Idol. When he was a young player many moons ago, 9-year-old Simon locked lips with a gal named Tara Miller. Girlfriend phoned into the show this week to see if our formidable judge found her performance that day "forgettable" or not. Meanwhile, Seacrest seized the opportunity to ask Tara, "Is Simon a good kisser?"

This or That: Sloppy Kiss or Angry Orgasm?

DearSugar — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:00:00 -0800

You've been broadening your horizons when it comes to the guys you date because everyone says you're too picky. Things have been going better than you would have expected on your second date with a guy that you met through a friend. You actually end up back at his apartment one night, just talking, and as you guys begin to connect more, things start to get steamy. You encounter a Charlotte from Sex and the City moment when he pulls out a surprise move. Would it be worse if . . .

This: Just as the make-out session was getting more intense, he started to rotate between trusting his tongue to the farthest corners of your throat and licking your face?

Or . . .

That: You end up in an awesome sex session, but just as he's orgasming, he starts screaming and shouting expletives that would make even Samantha blush?

News to Me: Kissing and Chemistry

DearSugar — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 10:00:00 -0800

You know how after a first kiss, your friends ask you if there was any chemistry? Well, it turns out that question is right on the money. According to a recent article in Scientific American, there are multiple chemical reactions that occur when we kiss, which affect all sorts of emotional responses including bonding, stress levels, attraction, compatibility, and of course, sexual arousal.
Perhaps the most interesting point the article makes, is this:

The researchers found an unusual flurry of activity in two brain regions that govern pleasure, motivation, and reward. . . . Addictive drugs such as cocaine similarly stimulate these reward centers, through the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Love, it seems, is a kind of drug for us humans.

I knew there was a reason that I love foreplay - I'm hooked on kissing. The article also mentions that a first kiss is an indicator of genetic compatibility with a mate. It rings true for me, but how about you? Has a kiss ever influenced your attraction to someone?
