Dirt From Women's Magazines

Bet you've been waiting breathlessly for this month's edition of Cliffs Notes. (Yeah, we already know you swiped your roommate's Cosmo when she wasn't looking.) But just in case you haven't caught up on your reading, here's the short version...

Glamour
Did you know a girl's hand can indicate how easy she'll be to hook up with? You can thank Andrew Clark, a Ph.D. student from Ontario for that handy (insert canned laughter here) nugget. His research shows that if a girl's index finger is shorter than her ring finger, she's more likely to have a one-night stand. Turns out, testosterone helps the ring finger grow. The longer the finger, the more testosterone a woman has. And testosterone levels influence sex drives. In the end, Clark determined that the biggest predictor for casual sex was how much a woman spent on cocktails the night in question.
They call that science? We could have told him that last part...

Tips for Being her Best in Bed
1. Make the first move - this makes her feel sexy and desirable. If she usually gets the ball rolling, she'll start to think you're not interested. Then she feels unattractive, her libido takes a nosedive, and no one gets any.
2. Ignore her when she says, "I don't need to have an orgasm tonight" - women don't want to put their own needs first, so they tell you it's ok if they don't get off. Truth is, most of the time it is ok, but if you make the extra effort to make it happen, we won't forget the favor.
3. Shake things up - even pleasurable things get boring if they're the same every single time. Next time, warm up with the regular foreplay, and then instead of going in for the kill, tease her until she squirms with anticipation for the finish.
4. Kiss her during sex - couples often forget to kiss (or are too busy doing other things). But this simple act can create a tight emotional bond that most women crave during sex.
Hey, if it gets you out of talking afterwards...

What Cosmo Says About Guys...
10% of guys would flip out if a girl brought her vibrator to bed.
19% of guys have slept with a friend's relative.
22% of guys prefer a girl with less sexual experience than them.
24% of guys have been kicked out of a girl's house on a first date.
43% of guys have rated girls' sex skills behind their backs.

For one guy, this rating system backfired...
"Every time my college roommates or I slept with a new girl, we'd assess her expertise on a scale of 1 to 10 on a master list posted on our fridge door. After fooling around with this gorgeous girl, she got up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water. But she took a really long time coming back, so I fell asleep. When I woke up she wasn't there, but all my roommates were crowded around our list, laughing. Someone had added my name in giant pink cursive with a score of zero."
He got off easy... we would have published the list in the school paper.
