Things That Suck The Sex Out Of Marriage

When you decide to spend the rest of your life with her, it's the farthest thing from your mind. When you pop the question, you can't imagine it, any more than she can see it coming while she's unwrapping scented lotion and thongs at her bridal shower. On the honeymoon? Definitely not an issue. But research indicates that, in quality and quantity, sex dwindles after marriage.

A highly respected University of Chicago study found that, while the frequency of intercourse decreases by over 700% between the ages of 20 and 70 among the general populace, "among the married the decline is even more striking […] Even among couples who rate their marriages as very happy and say they are still in love, frequency of intercourse declines." In another survey, 6 out of 10 couples stated that marriage had "completely ruined the excitement of having sex."

Yet another survey found that 60% of dating singles reported being sexually satisfied, compared to only 52% of married people. Also in that study, 48% of dating singles and only 36% of marrieds report having sex at least once a week.

If this dreadful prospect is true, what's sucking the sex out of marriage? And is there anything we can do to get it back?

Top 10: Modern Lingerie Models

For several generations of young men, in the pre-internet stone age, our first glance of a woman in her skivvies was through the heaven-sent lingerie catalogs that magically appeared in our mailboxes every Christmas. In the very early days, these catalogs utilized well-rendered drawings of women in their knickers, but with time a new breed of model emerged: the lingerie model. What began as under-the-counter contraband in the days when Bettie Page could be seen getting spanked by another gal while both wearing underwear has now become a prime-time TV event: The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

In honor of these catalog and runway goddesses, we present our list of the top 10 modern lingerie models.

Things Women Notice About Your Car, Starring Karolina Kurkova

You've seen her. She's the leggy blond clad in about as much silk as is in your tie. And as if drooling over photos of her in your girlfriend's Victoria's Secret catalog (yes, we still do that) wasn't enough, we're giving you another reason to take notice of supermodel Karolina Kurkova.

During Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2011, Kurkova unveiled the redesigned Mercedes-Benz 2012 CLS. We caught up with her to ask a question we've always wondered about: What do women notice in our cars?

As a supermodel/wife/mother, Kurkova's answers reflect the many hats she wears in her life. Ready for a sample? "I think men should know how to operate the car. It's important to know the key things."

Truer words were never spoken, Karolina.
