Hook Ups Can Lead to Relationships- If You're LuckyA recent study from the University of Iowa regarding hook ups and the longevity of relationships led me to the conclusion that perhaps the researchers at the University of Iowa have too much time on their hands. The researchers surveyed 642 heterosexual adults from the greater Chicago area about their sexual histories and the quality of their relationships.

The results of the study were pretty ambivalent- the researchers concluded that relationships that started off more slowly in the sexual department had a slightly higher likelihood of success than others. However, the researchers also concluded that hook ups can also lead to satisfying relationships.

Missionary Position with a Modification: Instead of just lying on your back during the missionary position, extend and wrap your legs around your partners’ shoulders. The idea is that this position will allow your partner to hit the highly sought after target of the G-Spot. Another modification is putting a pillow underneath you.

Body ImageI had a talk with my girlfriend the other day about how we felt about our bodies- we both decided that it was extremely helpful (NOT IN THE LEAST) when a guy chooses to tell you what exactly is wrong with you- the subtext being of course that if we didn’t already know which part of our body, our wardrobe, our shoes, our jobs, our personality, or whatever was wrong with us, we would be eternally grateful for the helpful hints given to us by the men in our lives.
