We’ve all heard many a time that men have higher sex drives, but I know plenty a lady who say they think about sex and want sex just as much as men. It may simply be that stereotypes hold men as the more sexually dominant gender, and women more submissive. But the times are quickly changing and women now encouraged to embrace their sexuality. So tell us, who do you think has a higher sex drive, men or women?
Check out the WebMD.com article, “Sex Drive: How Do Men and Women Compare”. The article states that men may have a more “straightforward” sex drive (no pun intended, hehe), but the forces that drive women’s sex drives are a bit more complex, leaving them more open to experimentation. Interestingly, the article says, “Women with higher education levels were more likely to have performed a wider variety of sexual practices (such as oral sex); education made less of a difference with men.”
There’s no easy answer to this question, but we want to hear from you! Who do you feel really has a higher sex drive?

One of the great things about online shopping is being able to hear from others about the pluses and minuses of a certain product. You can be out with a few friends shopping in a mall and get their opinion, but the people who leave reviews on the products in an online store are people across the country.
I invite you to leave a comment about your favorite product. Even if it wasn’t fully up to your expectations, let us know. Not every product is going to work for everyone. That’s the nature of being a society of individuals: We’re all gonna have our own taste, style and flavor.
And if you land on product pages with reviews, read them, scope them, check out what others are saying about that particular product. There are more and more of us (myself included) who use that information in deciding if we want to try a product or not. So go ahead, get your Ebert and Roeper on and put those reviews out there.

Do you remember back in the school when you saw a guy get beat up by a girl? Do you remember when his friends would laugh at him. Apparently, getting dominated by a girl wasn’t looked upon too favorably in social circles. Now, it’s probably those same guys who have a one-a-week encounter with Dominatrix [insert name here].
When I started working here a few years ago, I became fascinated with the appeal of light bondage — and to an extent role play, in general. Men, who spend 40 hours a week (maybe more) being corporate and managerial; who are giving out the orders and making sure that their team(s) run smoothly, could find themselves for a couple of hours on the weekends, taking orders and being dominated by a woman (be it their wife, girlfriend or hired dominatrix).
Today, I’m still fascinated with the idea of light bondage. In talking to some of my friends who regularly engage in the practice, I’m sure their sick of me asking every 5th question “What’s the appeal for you?”. Of course, everyone has their own reasons for enjoying light bondage and I’ll probably never get one generic answer, but I still find the different reasons that people use to be interesting: They’ve said anything from “I enjoy letting my partner have all of the power” to “I’m spend a majority of my life giving the rules, and sometimes I just want to receiving the rules” to “It’s the best way for me to reach an orgasm”. All fascinating thoughts.
So I wanted to pose the question to the readers: Do you engage in light bondage play (or even role play)? If you don’t what makes you hesitant to try it? If you do, what ultimately put you in the realm to try it and what kept you there?

There’s an article posted over at the MSNBC website that tells about InSPOT. InSPOT is a company that sends out “greeting cards” to your former sexual partners asking them to be tested for any sexually transmitted disease. Should you find out that you have any STDs you can use this service to warn and alert your former partners.
I can honestly see both sides of this, but I want to ask what you all think of such a practice. Would you prefer that people handle it face to face or is sending a card an acceptable practice?

Ok, I want your opinion(s) about Healthy and Active. What do you think of the colors, the layout, the design. Feel free to go ahead and pick it apart. The store can only get better the more we know about what YOU feel about it. The goal of any good business is to create an environment that’s inviting, exciting and enticing for customers.
So in essence “Does this store make our butt look big?”
