But what happens when sex toys transcend the gap between self-pleasure and mutual satisfaction? Not for the sexually timid, I would suggest — but it is quite tempting to contemplate adding one good thing (sex toys) to another good thing (sex). Why is introducing sex toys into your sex life a step that many find daunting to consider?

When I was in elementary school, my best friend told me that sex was “when a man puts his thing in a girl’s vagina.” That was the truest information about sex I’ve ever gotten from a friend. As I grew older, my friends started to tell me more and more things about sex, most of which were total lies.

Sweats are the perfect – and probably the most essential – accessory for a girl to have at college. Wondering what to wear for Sunday morning brunch? Look no further than your favorite, and most trusty, pair of sweatpants. Curious about what to open presents in on Christmas morning? Grab your sweatpants, again.

We all know that the perfect pair of pants is a must-have. A stylista’s closet is simply incomplete without them — bootylicious jeans, forgiving slacks, hold-in-your-chub leggings…all essential to seamlessly completing any look. But from time to time we at CC see some “oh-god-why” looks. And often those looks are made that much more atrocious due to a perfectly horrible pair of pants.

This week, Bayer has been under fire with the Food and Drug Administration for its birth control pills Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella. The pills in this family contain a synthetic hormone called drospirenone, which is being linked to the seventy-five percent increased chance of blood clots.

You never had a problem with me being single until I turned twenty in September of this year. All of a sudden my relationship status has become a constant topic of conversation. I know you want what’s best for me mom but I have to be honest. With all due respect, Mom, I don’t want a boyfriend.

We are all guilty of Facebook stalking. All of us! And I’m going to tell you that I think that’s perfectly okay. Isn’t that what Facebook is for? The hard part about Facebook stalking is that you can never let people know that you do it or else you will be known as a creep (even though the people calling you a creep Facebook stalk as much as you do, if not more).

The realm of oral contraceptives is getting a bit messy these days. Some of you may remember my issues with the birth control pill, Yaz. After surviving a pulmonary embolism, I can now consider myself relatively healthy although doctors are not sure if I will have more complications in the future. Even though I’ve been off my medication for two and a half years, I am still dealing with what happened everyday.

There are things you shouldn’t say and then there are things you just DON’T, F*CKING, SAY! Men have learned the hard way when they put their foot in their mouths and their heads up their asses — and sometimes both at the same time (it might be listed as a special skill). Some guys just don’t get it, though. They just keep digging.

Now, we all know how hard it is to actually stick with a resolution past, like, January 2nd, but I feel that celebrities have a better chance of sticking to their guns with the help of personal assistants, trainers, chefs, life coaches, etc. With this notion, I can’t help but wonder what Lindsay Lohan and J.Lo are planning to change or work on in 2012. (Maybe going away? That’d be nice.)
