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?

But where else does Holly hang on the Strip, you might be asking? The beautiful Ms. Madison talked to AskMen exclusively about her top 10 Vegas hangouts.

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.
