Sex is something we all think about, it's something most of us participate in (or would like to), and it's everywhere in our culture, reflected in advertising, fashion, music, movies, and TV.

Traveling demands a certain amount of flexibility; after all, you're in a place where you have much less control over your surroundings than you would at home. Because we… more

Let's face it, there is an astronomical amount of media hype surrounding our appearances these days.
