101 Days of Sex

A recent story on Fox News, 101 Days of Sex: How One Married Couple 'Just Did It' sparked my interest. Doug, a features writer for the Denver Post, told his wife Annie about an official club of people who had gone 100 days without sex. To that note, Annie suggested they do just the opposite.

While balancing work and raising two girls, the couple made it their mission to have sex for 100 consecutive nights…and once more to congratulate themselves!

If you and your partner are lacking a little luster in the bedroom, share this story. You may inspire a challenge of your own!

Jessica Simpson: Romance Detective?

According to Carrie Underwood, ex-boyfriend Tony Romo still calls her. She told Allure Magazine for the September issue that "The phone will ring and it'll be him, and I'll maybe not answer."

This comes as a bit of a shock, as Tony is now involved in a serious relationship with Jessica Simpson. Simpson proudly boasts that she checks his call log daily, so she knows for a fact Tony isn’t calling his former flame.

We hate to say it, but ever heard of delete?

"Tony and I both laughed at that," Simpson said. "We got a chuckle out of it."

What we’re wondering is why Jessica feels the need to check Tony’s call log at all? If she is secure with their relationship and trusts that he is faithful to her, snooping wouldn’t even be in consideration. Which raises the question: when you’re in a trusting relationship, what territory (like cell phones and email) should stay private and what should be offered up for the perusal of your partner?

New Gene Predicts Bad Behavior In Men?

Researchers in Sweden have linked a “monogamy” gene with the the relationship behavior of men and their partners. However, that doesn’t mean that if you have the gene you’re destined to cheat.

“Their study found that men who carry one or two copies of a gene variant called “allele 334” were twice as likely to have had marital or relationship woes in the past year than those who don’t have it.”

Does this mean we should have potential partners tested before our first date?
