When women are naked in magazines or just very scantily clad it is usually in publications in the Playboy/Maxim genre. But New York Magazine writer Kat Stoefel pointed out that in recent years there has been an uptick in women getting naked or wearing very little in women’s magazines like Allure and Glamour (Kate Hudson is currently topless but covering her breasts on the cover of Glamour this month).

As the crude men of Comedy Central’s “Workaholics” would probably say, “bone your way to perfect health.”

The clean, comfortable and well-lit sex shop may be as foreign a concept to some women as an effective women’s sexual enhancement drug. Yet both are actually out there and thriving, not surprisingly, under the leadership of women. According to these female leaders, just a few short years ago there were no solutions or even discussions for women who weren’t living their sex lives to the fullest. Now the days of hushed conversation – or worse, silence – are long gone from the women’s sexual health and satisfaction industry. Or at least that’s the goal of these female industry leaders.

There’s a reason Frank Sinatra said a person can make it anywhere if he/she can handle New York: It’s a hub for sexytime. A study done by Trojan reveals that people in the concrete jungle get it on three times a week and are above the national average. This is to be expected of the high-energy urban environment, but I have to wonder how many 20-somethings were included in this survey, as New Yorkers in that age bracket don’t do the nasty anymore.

Perhaps it has been too long since you’ve had any sexual trysts, but don’t call yourself an old maid, just go on vacation. New research finds that 40 percent of women under 30 have had a one-night stand on a vacation, meaning nearly half of us twenty-somethings are really good at unplugging (at least professionally, wink wink) during trips.

In a perfect world, we could all have sex anytime we pleased. But during the week, it can be rather hard to concentrate on things besides basic responsibilities, so it makes sense that a new survey reveals that women are friskiest at 11 p.m. on Saturday nights.

With all the debate over privilege, race, nepotism, hipsterism and feminism in HBO’s “Girls,” it’s easy to forget there’s a sizable coalition of pearl-clutchers who are also icked out about the new HBO comu-drama. And it’s not because Lena Dunham has a famous mom or Lena Dunham’s character has a leg up in life. It’s because the girls on Girls are having the s-e-x.

The Washington Times described it as a “sexual wasteland” that shows how my generation has been “tutored by a popular culture that doesn’t much care” about romance and love. Sex is leading to the downfall of women! Now why do I feel like I’ve heard this before…

If you consider yourself a decent bed buddy, don’t flatter yourself, says Esquire‘s Chris Jones, who wrote in a Thursday piece for the magazine that many of us are actually inadequate. This according to a self-anointed sub-par sexpert.

Almost every time I tell New Yorkers that I was raised in the bay area, they ask, “Why in God’s name did you leave and come here, you silly girl?!” It’s an inquiry I’ve never been able to fully answer, and given the results of a new survey that found people in western states value sex more than any other part of the country, I have yet another reason to question my sanity for trading in eternal sunshine and friendly crunchy granola types for tiny sidewalks and gawking city folk.

If you’ve ever faked an orgasm to make your partner feel better, you should pat yourself on the back, says a writer for The Gloss.
