According to Men's Health women can lose an orgasm almost while she's in the midst of having one. And one cause may be simply changing positions awkwardly. They've got a playbook for you that'll let you switch from one position to another "without ending up like a flesh pretzel" that you can use the next time you need to smoothly transition out of Reverse Cowgirl.

Let's start with this statement: I am a fan of Entourage. The characters are some of the best on TV. They remind me of guys I grew up with. Guys I hung out with. (Who didn't have a hangdog friend like Drama who would not stop whining about whatever was up his ass that week?) And if I don't get to hear Piven as Ari rant, riff, badger, insult, screw, cajole and just flat out tear someone a new asshole at least once a week, I go into withdrawals.

I am also a fan of showing devotion subtly. T-shirts that have a TV show or movie logo splashed across them were never my thing. In my opinion, if you're gonna wear a fanshirt, wear something that only other fans get. And when that hot barista at the coffee shop smiles and nods, you know you've got an opening.

This red "Suits Suck" shirt on Zazzle.com falls into that category. If you have no idea what this means, or think it's some anti-establishment diatribe, you need to catch up on some missed episodes.

MSN just ran a story about a lawn care company in Tennessee that uses girls in bikinis to do yard work. The owner charges a "premium" for the service, and apparently business is booming. So I started thinking: what other businesses and services could benefit from a little blatant sexual exploitation?

Dentist - Everyone dreads going to this drill-happy sadist, but every guy on the planet would look like Matt Dillon in "Something About Mary" if the work was done by G-string wearing (insert butt-floss joke here) dental assistants instead. My tooth enamel would be worn down to the nub from the monthly cleanings I'd be getting.

Flight Attendant - Airlines in bankruptcy? Pilots on strike? Never again. If there were hot flight attendants in bikinis roaming the aisles I'd commute to work through Cincinnati every day.

Plumber - When have you ever heard a guy say, "Thank God, I have to call the plumber"? Exactly. But if it was Madame Suzette's Thong and Wrench Plumbing Service, I'd have a leaky pipe every weekend. ...More
By now you've heard all about the antioxidant powers of certain foods like strawberries and blueberries. And heard experts (and a more-excited-than-usual Oprah), talking about so-called "superfoods" like pomegranates and the açai berry, that attack free radicals like Russell Crowe ripping through paparazzi and hotel clerks.

Basically the benefits-for-guys short version is that studies have shown antioxidant-rich foods can help heart and prostate health. And anything that keeps us from spending our golden years in the waiting room of our friendly neighborhood, glove-and-lube-happy urologist is something we need to take into thoughtful consideration.

Here's the catch: to get the full effect, you have to eat or drink a certain amount of these foods. Which, depending on your tolerance and taste, could be just fine, or could make you feel like a Fear Factor contestant.

An alternative is to get your antioxidants in pill form, and the people who make POM Wonderful pomegranate juice have come out with POMx. The same antioxidants as an 8 oz glass of their juice, just in a capsule. It's quicker. More convenient. And cheaper... about $1 per serving as opposed to over $3 in some places for the juice.

For the really health conscious, you'll want to know there's no synthetic anything in there. No sugar, fillers, binders, or artificial anything. And they've been reviewed for safety by the FDA. Unlike the supplements Barry Bonds takes.

MSN released their annual list of the 19 sexiest beaches in the world, and it's definitely a reason not to stay home this summer. Click here to see the list and get a few bits of info on each beach.

My personal pick? Since I live near South Beach, one of the 19 on the list, I'm going to have to go outside the US and pick Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. According to the MSN piece it's "the place to stay for Carnaval — the scene is much bigger (and wilder) than Rio's." Wilder than Rio? If that doesn't get you booking a flight immediately, then listen to what they say about the view: "slinky Bahian women with dark skin and green eyes drinking cold bottled beer in the umbrella-covered beach bars."

Homer: Yeah, pretty much, except we drove around in a van solving mysteries.
Things always seem to play out better in your head. Except in the case of threesomes.

2. Knowledge Needs to be Prioritized:
Homer: How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?
Sports stats, winning poker hands, what goes in a Gimlet? Stored. Her phone number? That's why God invented speed dial.

3. The Truth:
Homer: Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!
Fact: This is a universal truth.

4. Women:
Homer: A woman is a lot like a refrigerator. 6 feet tall, 300 pounds ... it makes ice.
Don't forget "provides food..."

5. Compassion for Your Fellow Man:
Homer: Well crying isn't going to help. Now, you can sit there feeling sorry for yourself or you can eat can after can of dog food until your tears smell enough like dog food until your dog comes back, or you can go out there and find your dog.
Bart: You're right.

Unless you've been in a coma for the last few months, you've experienced all the hype and product tie-ins buzzing around the long-awaited Simpsons movie opening this weekend. Some of it is brilliant. Like the Kwik-E-Mart/7-Eleven store conversions carrying products like KrustyO's cereal, Sprinkilicious donughts and Duff beer, which was not only genius, but according to store sources, doubled traffic and sales in the 12 converted stores. Some of it is ridiculous. Like the Food Network Simpsons Cake Baking Challenge.

And, since the Simpsons has been king of the licensing and merchandise whores for over two decades now, you can be sure a whole new crop of stuff you don't need will be showing up on shelves nationwide. Resist the temptation. Please. Having the Talking Homer Doll on your dorm room desk saying, "Mmmmm beer..." every time girls came over with a six-pack may have made them laugh back then. But having one on your bar at home now just makes them leave. And rightfully so.

Two popular stories came off the wire today. Each involved public nudity. And each resulted in very different public reaction.

One involved a "mysterious blonde" who stopped at a petrol station in Berlin to buy cigarettes. According to the Reuters report, the "tall, slender woman" got out of the passenger seat of a Ferrari "wearing nothing but a pair of golden stilettos and a thin gold bracelet." [Note to self: Keep saving for that Ferrari.]

Reuters noted the woman could have faced charges of creating a public disturbance if anyone had complained. Did anyone complain? Nope. Apparently none of them were even bothered. And the station employee was quoted as saying, "I wasn't surprised because she's come in naked before -- she's a very nice woman." And exactly the kind of regular customer I'd want in my shop.

Now jump to a story that appeared a day before. Reuters reported on three male tourists who enjoyed a little cycling along the River Danube in Serbia. Naked. As the day they were born. Apparently the local heat wave prompted the two Austrians and a German to strip down to their birthday suits and go for a little ride. ...More

A lot of guys hit the gym regularly, throw some iron around, work up a decent sweat with some cardio, maybe check out the babes in the spinning class, and call it a day. And then wonder why - when they're more serious than most guys about training - their "keg" isn't sculpting down into a six-pack.

According to professional triathlete, Eric Harr, your mental focus is key to your physical success. And what you do immediately before and after your workouts is just as important as what you do during your workouts.

Here are six tips from Harr that he uses regularly when training for triathlons, and that other pro athletes use when they're getting ready to start the season. Some may seem counterintuitive, but they're time tested strategies that have been used by pro trainers for years. And they can mean the difference between getting results, or spending your life as Flabby McFatass.

1. Pre-Workout Preparation (60 minutes prior to your workout):
You may not consider what you do an hour before your workout as an important part of your workout, but it is. This includes arguing with Milt in Accounting over your budget an hour before going to the gym, or eating that leftover danish from the sales meeting at 4:30. Food and stress levels can determine how much benefit you're gonna get from your workout. And how easy, or hard, it'll feel. ...More

This recipe comes from Pacifica Culinaria, an online retailer of infused avocado oils and mayos, agave syrups and other gourmet foods you need to check out.

Why use avocado oil? It's similar to the very popular olive oil, has a number of health benefits (which we can use), is high in Omega fatty acids, has no cholesterol and is extremely low in saturated fat. Which means more guacamole for me.

This recipe is easy to throw together, and it's perfect for when she's looking for something light for dinner. It calls for cayenne pepper to give it a kick, but you can adjust the amount to your own tastes. (What good is a date with a burned tongue?)

Just like wine coolers tore through the summer beach scene years ago, "flavored malt beverages" masquerading as cocktails have been pitched as the perfect summer drink to sip pool side for a while now.

Let me make one thing perfectly clear right from the get go: when I want a cocktail, I'll mix a real cocktail. When I want a beer, I'll have a beer. Not some evil, fruity, malt, Frankenstein bastardization of both. (And I don't care how "tough" or "masculine" your marketing is, it's still fruit beer.)

That being said, I will now also admit openly for all the world to hear that I regularly keep these beverages on hand. Especially in the summer. Why? Should be obvious: Women love them. Gross generalization? Maybe. But I found that anytime there is a barbecue, pool party or other outdoor event and there is real beer and fruit beer around, they get consumed right along gender lines. (Hey, I'm just making an observation.) And they work when you can't drag out mixers and ice and fresh fruit, etc., etc.

So what's the newest concoction you might want to keep around just in case a bikini party breaks out? The Bacardi Silver Mojito. Capitalizing on the popularity of the cocktail, it's got a strong lime and mint flavor, a little bit of fizz, and no muddling required. Trendy enough to let her know you're on top of things, light and refreshing enough that she'll enjoy it on a hot day at the beach. Me? I'll be at the bar.

Guys spend billions a year on dry cleaning. Adding regularly to the cost of our clothes and helping George move on up to a deeeluxe apartment in the sky. George, I love ya, but I'm tired of my money paying for your deeeluxe rent.

If you're just looking to clean and freshen your suits, sweaters or dress pants - and there's no heavy stains or ground-in dirt on the collars or cuffs - you can achieve the same results as your dry cleaner, at home and for a helluva lot less.

A product like Dry Cleaner's Secret can help. They're simple enough that you don't have to be a laundry guru to use them. All you do is place up to four garments in your dryer with the dry cleaning sheet, set the timer for 20 minutes and let 'em roll on medium heat. Take them out fresh, wrinkle-free and ready to wear again.

How much can you save? Each single-use sheet costs about $1.67 and can clean up to four pieces of clothing. Meaning it costs you about 42 cents per cleaning. Big savings over the average $6.50 it costs to dry clean a suit. ...More

So what are prawns, technically, you know, in case she asks? According to The Food Encyclopedia by Jacques L. Rolland and Carol Sherman, prawns are: "1. a close relative of the shrimp that generally lives in fresh water, with a thinner body and long legs. 2. small crustaceans related to and shaped like lobsters... often called lobsterettes. 3. a generic term applied to very large shrimp, not wholly accurate, although widely used."

Sin City is, for the most part, an "anything goes" town. You can get away with stuff there you would never dream of doing at home.

But the casino floor is a different story. They are vastly structured environments with a litany of unwritten rules. You won’t find them posted on any warning signs, but committing what a casino considers an “offense” will set you on the fast track to the exit door. Quite possibly headfirst. And airborne.

With ceiling cameras recording your every move, and security guards and pit bosses constantly on the lookout, I turned to the "Ultimate Las Vegas Insider", Steve Striker, to find out what could get you bounced. Or worse, blacklisted.

1 - Swearing at the Poker Table
Losing or getting a "Bad-Beat" at the poker table can be understandably frustrating, but dropping F-Bombs at other players, the casino staff, or even audibly to yourself will get you a royal flush out the door.

2 - Touching Anyone Else's Chips
That's even if the chips belong to your best friend, who is playing at the same table, and it's OK with him. The pit boss doesn't care. A move towards any chips other than your own is treated as intent to steal. And stealing, Mr. Ocean, is bad.

Then it's aged in small batches in French oak barrels for 6 months under the care of master distillers from Moët Hennessy. The result is one of the smoothest rums I've tried.

They may know a thing or two about buying and selling cars, but I have to question some of the movie car smarts over there at Cars.com.

They recently released their revised Top 10 Movie cars list after debuting the idea last summer. This year's list is based on "reader feedback and arguing" over last year's list. In my humble opinion it looks like there wasn't enough of either.

As just one example: Last year's number one, the DeLorian from the "Back to the Future" trilogy, is back as this year's number one. It beat out such beloved celluloid rides as James Bond's iconic Aston Martin (No. 4), and Steve McQueen's 1968 Mustang GT 390 from "Bullitt" (No. 5). Never mind that Bond's pimped AM had more tricks up its sleeve than a cracked-out Criss Angel, or that the GT starred in the greatest chase scene ever committed to film. The DeLorian was selected over all others yet again why? Because "it runs solely on trash — and it can fly. That's still futuristic two decades after the movie debuted... this car easily won our hearts." (I'm banging my head against the steering wheel.)
