Ask a Bad Boy: Putting Out on the First Date

Dear Steve,

This is a debate I've been having with my girl friends for years now and I'd love to hear your take on it. Do guys have a lower opinion of you if you "put out" on the first date? Can a relationship ever come to fruition if there's no longer any sense of mystery? — Wondering Wednesday

Dear Steve,

What are guys thinking when they are "discreetly" checking out other women when they are in a loving, happy relationship? Do they have sexual thoughts like, "She's so hot I'd love to do her," or is it more like what I think, "Oh she's pretty," and leave it at that? — Curious Casey

Dear Poll: Does Size Matter?

DearSugar — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 15:30:00 -0800

Earlier this week I posted a comical Internet find: the Condometric, a condom with a ruler printed on it. While I thought it was a funny knick-knack, I realized that I've never asked you how you feel about size below the belt! The debate continues as to whether or not penis size matters, and since the answer depends on who you ask, now's your chance to tell us if it matters to you!Source

Dear Poll: Does Size Matter?

Yes, it matters!

No, I think it's overrated.

I love this cheeky gadget, but what do you think?

It's Official: Red Is a Turn-On

DearSugar — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 08:00:00 -0700

Red has always been bold, but as it turns out, now it's officially sexy! A new study, as reported by Reuters, offers evidence that men are attracted to women in red. Researchers showed young heterosexual men pictures of women wearing different colors and asked them to rate the women by attractiveness and their desire to both kiss and have sex with them. Needless to say, red was the clear winner.

The study didn't offer any specific explanations for why the color red has this effect on men, except to say it could be an evolutionary trait or just the fact that red has long been associated with love. I'm no evolutionary scientist, but my bet's on the fact that for decades, red has been marketed not just as romantic (Valentine's Day cards and gifts) but also sexy (red lipstick and nail polish). Whatever the reason, if you're looking for a way to get the guys to notice you, a red top might just be the ticket. But we all have our own go-to outfits when we're trying to be sexy; if yours isn't a slinky red dress, what is it?
