If you’re looking to lose some weight, try skipping the gym--head for the bedroom! You may recognize her from Oprah or The Today Show, Kerry McCloskey, author of “The Ultimate Sex Diet”, claims she lost 23lbs having sex with her sweetie.
McCloskey says sex and food are the two primary components. By eating healthy and having sex 3 to 5 times during the work week and following up on the weekends, you can burn 1600 calories a week!
“It’s made us much happier,” said McCloskey. “When you’re intimate I think you treat each other differently, it’s just something natural. You have the endorphins from sex and you’re less irritable. I think it’s very healthy for both people.”
Sounds like it’s time to hit the sheets!

Pre-Presidential Pucker
According to a recent poll conducted by Match.com and Happen Magazine, 77% of Americans think Barack Obama would be a better kisser than John McCain.
"While the majority of our member base considers themselves 'middle of the road,' it appears that America is leaning to the left with their lips," said Darcy Cameron, senior director of marketing and advertising for Match.com.”
The poll was conducted online and received 1,433 total responses.
The part that we love best? “Neither Michelle Obama, Cindy McCain nor any babies were polled as part of this survey.”
What do you think? Which candidate has a winning smooch and which should kiss that nomination goodbye?

He's Just Not That Into You
We hear that the "bible" of many a single girl, He’s Just Not That Into You, is set to hit the big screen in 2009. If you haven’t read the book yet, be sure to pick it up before you make your way to the movies. The New York Times best seller, written by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo in 2004, focuses on “the ever-widening gap between genders and the misunderstandings that often arise between couples.”
With an all-star cast and a light-hearted look at the (sometimes) cringe-worthy reality that is dating today, this is one film we won’t miss!

Bedroom Bliss
Did you know that most of us spend at least a third of our lives in the bedroom?
“If we experience a sense of harmony in there, we have a much better chance of coming out in to the world in a balanced way,” says Sophie Keller of The Huffington Post. “This will, in turn, affect how we go about our day, how much energy we have and how we communicate with others.”
In short, here are Keller’s 5 tips for making the bedroom the sanctuary it should be:
1. My number one motto for the bedroom is to keep it simple, peaceful and uncluttered.
2. If you're going to have any photos in your bedroom, please make sure they are really happy ones of you, with your lover.
3. The best place for a master bedroom is at the back of the house.
4. Put a plant in the bedroom to keep the atmosphere fresh and bring life and growth into the area.
5. Stand in the entrance of every room of your house and the back right hand corner of each room is the relationship area of the room. If you want to bring in a new relationship or enhance the communication in the one that you're in, then make sure those areas are clean and clear of clutter.

More Bang for Your Buck?
Want to receive daily romantic inquires but lack a full-time significant other? Japanese women may have just the ticket! The new virtual “Handsome Man Bank” provides a lustful compliment each time you save your pennies. Like a piggy bank only so much cuter.
The Ikemen (ee-keh-men) or “Handsome Man Bank” made by Japanese toymaker Bandai, comes in pink or white and allows you to pick from five handsome men – rendered in Japanese anime fashion. “Not only does your dreamboat stare out at you with big, soulful eyes, he also whispers sweet nothings.” I’m sold!
“Can I kiss you?” or “May I rub your shoulders?” are just two of the many romantic phrases you may hear. But, as with any true romance, you may have to make a few sacrifices...your money conscious Romeo needs a deposit of at least 500 yen – or $5 USD -- to utter just one sweet nothing.
Also doubling as an alarm clock, the Ikemen will run you 4,935 yen (about $47 USD).
A man that will help keep you running on time and assist in planning your financial future? Now that's a boyfriend you can bank on!

Fireworks on the Fourth
Fourth of July is the perfect time to enjoy a romantic night with your special someone. We suggest packing a blanket and some wine and heading to a romantic private locale to take in the fireworks and watch the sparks fly.
You’ll have the perfect excuse to cuddle up with your sweetie (a little chill in the night air, the startle of fireworks booming over head). What better grand finale could there be than getting home and making fireworks of your own?! (Or if you’re super adventurous, go for it right there!)
