A girlfriend of mine recently came to brunch horrified. She told me that the night before, during sex, her boyfriend asked her if she had any lube. As she told me the story, I could tell she was upset, but I couldn't figure out why. “I mean, me? Lube? Come on! Like I’m the type of girl to have that,” she shrieked. Apparently, my friend thought lube was gross and, she told me later, unsafe. I’m not sure where she got that idea, but I thought I’d write about it here, just in case this is what a lot of women think.

The girl next door vs. the mean girl. Round 9,167. Ding, ding, ding. Fight on. Doesn't it seem like these two personas are always pitted against each other? I’m always getting questions about what type of women men are most attracted to. Nice girls? Mean girls? Shy girls? Aggressive women? Maternal women? Bitches? And my answer is yes. Always yes.

Here’s what I think.

Should I copyright it? In the meantime, here are five fore-foreplay moves you can try. They work when you’re fully clothed and fully in public.

I’ll admit it. I have a crush on Justin Timberlake, and I think most women are with me. He’s just undeniably swoon-worthy. It all started when I saw Justin and Britney Spears wearing those matching denim numbers. Anyone else remember that? Sure, that twinsie head-to-toe denim look was a fashion disaster, but it was really, really sweet. And it showed that this guy wasn’t just looks and swagger, he was a relationship man too. And now this crush-worthy dude is officially taken by an equally crush-worthy lady, Jessica Biel. Here’s why this is a relationship I can get behind:

You’ve probably heard people say that half of all marriages end in divorce. And if you look at the tabloids and read about celebrity marriages, it seems like it’s even more than that. It's actually far less, but divorce is prevalent. After walking to the altar and making a life-long commitment to each other, what’s splitting so many people apart? Every marriage and every divorce is different, of course, but I’m guessing that most of the splits have to do with some of these factors.
