Web MD, world's sexiest website, wants to know why people have sex but mostly why women and men want sex for different reasons. Much to nobody's surprise, they decided that men like sex because of "how it feels" whereas although women "very well may also derive pleasure from the act," they're "generally more interested in the relationship enhancement aspects of sex." Probably they should've surveyed more lesbians.
Here are the reasons people mentioned having sex: Boosting mood and relieving depression, duty, enhancement of power, enhancement of self-concept, experiencing the power of one's partner, feeling loved by your partner, fostering jealousy, improve reputation or social status, making money, making babies, need for affection, nurturance, partner novelty, peer pressure or pressure from partner, pleasure, reduce sex drive, revenge, sexual curiosity, showing love, spiritual transcendence.

+ The Best Sex of My Life: "I'm a lesbian. I paid a woman for sex and it was the best I've ever had in my life." Solid opening sentence and the rest really won't disappoint:
"I had a shower and we got to it. And let me just say: if you want something done right, you should really go to a professional. This was a completely different category of sexual experience. I felt things I didn’t even know my body could feel. She picked me up off the floor — she’s small but powerful — slung my legs around her waist and slammed me against the wall, kissing me. It was fucking incredible. And that was just the start."

+ Sex Advice from Women's Studies Professors:
If "The Judith Butler" was a sex position, what would it look like?
Something like a complicated knot system where one person is tied up and the other is dominating them. I don't have an "insert penis here" because I think there would be multiple accoutrements. I think it would be incredibly complicated and difficult to deconstruct.

Autostraddle Anonymous Sex Toy Review #14:
It’s our 14th Autostraddle Anonymous Sex Toy Review! Over the last 2-3 years, we’ve been propositioned frequently by sex toy companies wondering if we’d like to review their toy in exchange for, you know, their toys. In 2011, in addition to “saying yes to the dress” we are saying YES to the sex toys!
This week we have a fun kit from the couples' section at Good Vibrations.

Chocolate body paint isn't something I'd usually work with, and that's exactly why I decided to get this kit. Also strawberry body oil and sex dice? I felt like I was planning a small tea party. So, using sex checks in place of traditional invitations, that's exactly what I did.
Have you ever used sex checks or anything like them? They initially seemed silly and like something Dr. Phil would recommend, but were actually hilarious and sexy. The one I tucked under her windshield wiper ended up being inadvertently released onto the freeway, so I'd recommend planting your sex checks in safer, more obvious locations. The best part about the sex checks, aside from being able to say "sex checks" a bunch of times (try it), is that they're not heteronormative AT ALL. I don't think I have to tell you what a big deal that is.
The chocolate body paint -- the thing I'd been most embarrassed and nervous about -- was easily the best part of the kit. The sponge-tipped paintbrush applicator was perfect for artistic endeavors (and playing Hangman on my thigh), and the paint itself actually tasted good -- super sweet, and not chocolate-y in that weird way that I'd been afraid of. Do you know what weird way I'm talking about? Yeah, it wasn't like that.
The Risque Rollers were silly as fuck -- in the best way. There are instructions on the package, but of course we made up our own game, and I'm pretty sure that's the point. Our rules involved a mix of speed eating (via chocolate paint), Marco Polo and 7 Minutes in Heaven. I cannot overstate the amount of fun to be had with sex dice.
The Come Play With Me Kit also comes with a vibrating silver bullet, and while I'm not a huge fan of internal vibration, we still made good use of this vibrator by devising a sort of trivia game and using the bullet like a game show buzzer. This involved politics, movie quotes, our best NPR voices and scissoring, and was probably the most ingenious thing I'll ever come up with.
This kit was intended to be reviewed in time for Valentine's Day, but a petty illness got in the way of that. I'm sure you'll agree, however, that any day is a good day for vibrating silver bullets, strawberry flavored nipples and sex dice.
