Being in a relationship and sharing your love with someone is an amazing feeling, but keeping the romance alive isn't always easy; it takes work from both people. If you're feeling a little distant from your special someone these days, find each other again this Valentine's Day! Patty Brisben has some ideas on how to do just that, so be sure to read more.

Couples need to get re-familiarized with each other's erogenous zones; hot spots often change over the years and one way to keep on target is to take the time to explore each other's bodies.

Men Are More Attracted to Women's Bodies in the Winter!

DearSugar — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 08:00:00 -0700

If you're dreading Winter, hopefully this new study will turn your apprehension into excitement. According to the Daily Mail, men are more attracted to women's bodies during the Winter months than the Summer months. Researchers believe that the rarity of bare skin being displayed in the Winter makes it more alluring.

Anthropologists from the University of Wroclaw in Poland, who conducted this survey, asked men to rate photos of women wearing bathing suits, women who were bare chested, and close-ups of female faces. The men were shown these images every three months. They gave their highest scores to the photos of the women in swimsuits and bare breasts in the Winter and Fall, and their lowest scores during summertime. There didn't seem to be any seasonal variation to the images of the female faces, most likely due to the fact that their faces are in full view year-round. And if you're wondering if the men in this study were single, the results were actually the same when committed men looked at images of their own partners!

Pretty interesting, huh! With Winter just around the corner, I hope you can rest assured that the men are still interested, so show a little skin this Fall!

DearSugar — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 13:00:00 -0800

Last week I asked you if you thought the nude male body could be beautiful. While there were many different opinions, nearly all of you said that your man's body is beautiful, sexy, hot, and practically perfect in every way. So when he's got the whole package, which part is your absolute favorite?

Do Tell: Would You Use an Orgasm Log?

DearSugar — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 07:00:00 -0800

Yes, an orgasm log! It may not be the newest in online technology, but it certainly is the strangest. The orgasm logger is free to use once you fill out a username and password, and according to the site:

The Orgasm Logger is a website that allows you to keep a running tally on the frequency, intensity, and other information about your orgasms, and optionally share that information with others.

I don't know how I feel about sharing that kind of information, but it does say that monitoring your orgasms more closely will help you learn more about your body's needs, and that sounds like a pretty good concept to me. So what do you think? Do tell, would you consider logging your orgasms?

Dear Poll: How Old Is Too Old to Bring Your Son into the Women's Changing Room?

DearSugar — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 13:00:00 -0700

A reader sent in a very good question last week - At what age is it inappropriate to bring your son into the women's changing room with you? Here is her story:

This was the question I had today after my swim. I was butt-naked with just a towel when a woman walks in with her daughter and son, who looked to be about 8. I felt it was inappropriate. Then again, in our day and age, is the mother expected to just let her son in to go alone in the men's rooms? I am not a mother, so I can not realistically put myself in that position.

Since I am not a mother either, I wanted to ask you all what you thought about this topic. At what age do you stop bringing your son into the women's changing room with you? Since little kids know more than we think, when do you start feeling uncomfortable with children of the opposite sex in the same room as you while you're getting dressed?

It's Love Your Body Day! Magazines are always asking celebs how they feel about their bodies - no matter how perfect or imperfect they may seem. Can you guess who said what?

Question 1 of 10

How Would You Feel?

This post comes from Group Therapy in our TrèsSugar Community. Feel free to add your advice in the comments!

I'm 20 years old and have been dating this guy for four years. Last night, I was using his computer and I saw that he searched for plus size lingerie. My feelings were instantly hurt. I felt so fat! I think that my boyfriend should not make me feel like that! He has never called me fat or anything, but just the fact that he looked at plus size lingerie says that he thinks it! If I ask him if he thinks I'm fat or anything he, of course, denies it. He says that if he thought I was ugly he wouldn't be with me. So, what now? Am I just overreacting? I am so hurt!

There's lots of great stuff going on in our community - join it, check it out, share your posts or advice in the great groups and maybe we'll feature it here on TrèsSugar!

Body Worlds to Unveil Cadaver Sex Show Next Year

TresSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 07:00:00 -0700

A museum exhibit featuring poker-playing and football-throwing cadavers too boring for you? How about corpses displayed to look like they're having sex?

Body Worlds - a traveling exhibition of preserved, skinless, and posed corpses whose muscles and organs are visible - is proposing an exhibit for next year that shows cadavers posed in sex positions. Of the exhibit, Body Worlds' creative director Angelina Whalley said, "It's not my intention to show certain sexual poses. My goal is really to show the anatomy and the function."

Gunther von Hagens, Whalley's husband and Body Worlds' developer and promoter, treats the corpses using a technique he invented called "plastination," which is supposed to remove water from the bodies and preserve them with a silicon rubber or epoxy resin. (Perhaps this technique had not yet been perfected in 2005, when viewers of one exhibit in San Francisco complained of corpses oozing fluid.)

Although Body Worlds has been viewed by more than 27 million people all over the world, it has its detractors. Many human rights groups are worried about the ethics of displaying "donated" cadavers from countries like China with records of horrible human rights abuses. Von Hagens admitted to 20/20 reporters that he had to destroy some corpses he'd gotten from China because the injuries on their bodies suggested they'd been executed. Although Von Hagens and Whalley argue that Body Worlds exhibits are educational, others have called it a ghoulish peep show.

Would you want to see this upcoming sex exhibit? What do you think about the Body Worlds shows?

Dear Poll: Have Your Body Image Issues Affected a Relationship?

DearSugar — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 16:16:50 -0700

Even the most beautiful and seemingly perfect women have insecurities about their bodies, especially in the bedroom. I guess it's just part of life as a woman! For some, it's relatively simple to embrace flaws, but insecurities can be crippling for others. Since body image issues affect everyone differently, I'm curious. So tell me, have your insecurities ever affected one of your relationships?

Reebok Promises to Make Your Boobs Jealous of Your Butt - Hilarious or Horrifying?

TresSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:00:24 -0800

On its website, Reebok claims that its new line of EasyTone shoes, which are displayed against the backdrop of a naked woman, will help you make 88 percent of men speechless and 76 percent of women jealous. Hoping to drum up some hype for these kicks, Reebok has also unveiled a whole slew of commercials touting the shoes' butt-toning abilities. In this commercial, Reebok pitches the shoes by reducing a faceless woman to two talking breasts. You see, the breasts are jealous of the woman's butt, which is now getting all the attention thanks to the shoes. Do you find this ad effective or offensive?
