Our interactions with women are as organic as the cosmos -- we chat them up in the grocery store, we flirt in the mall, we talk over the information superhighway, and we invite them into our lives as girlfriends, conquests and objects of our affection. Some women are of the free variety -- free to act, free to think and, most importantly, free of a sordid history that may be putting up emotional roadblocks. They are the women we men can learn to be more brazen from. Others are of the reserved variety -- reserved with their actions and their opinions, reserved as to the limits of their adventuresome spirit, and reserved with their displays of affection. These are the women we learn to be polite and courteous from. Then there's the girl next door. She's all the things we want her to be -- sweet, honest, pretty, wholesome, and, hidden under a shroud of good manners, dirty and sexual. The perfect woman to settle down with. But wait a minute... she's acting strange. You thought ...

Bullcrap. That's just a cop out. A cheater is a coward. At least, that's my take on it. That said, this article isn't about a woman who will cheat on you because you're neglecting her or not attentive to her delicate needs. Rather, it's about whether or not your girl will cheat on you regardless of how you treat her. it may be inevitable You could be the greatest man on Earth: the best lover, funny, sexy, a gentleman, and all that good stuff, but if she's wired to cheat, she will, despite any efforts on your part. This actually isn't about you at all; it's about her. All I can do is help you figure out if she was born to cheat and help you get rid of her before she rips your heart out through your testicles.

Go commando in low-slung pants. Make sure he finds out before you get home that night -- drop your pencil, checkbook, or house keys, and make a strategic bend for his benefit.

Ruppel, Ph.D., executive director of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. "But they're also problem solvers.

by Francesca Di Meglio Men are full of surprises, and bedroom behavior is no exception. To get to the bottom of things, it took one of their own -- and a psychologist at that -- George Weinberg, author of Why Men Won't Commit: Getting What You Both Want Without Playing Games , who studies male behavior in romantic relationships. While we can't explain all male behavior, here are five sex secrets that may help you understand -- and get even closer to -- your guy. 1. He's afraid he'll let you down -- literally. Men feel tremendous pressure to perform sexually. "In the past, men weren't evaluating their sexual performance because women weren't supposed to judge them," says Weinberg.

The average dude spends more than 40 hours a week at work, with maybe another 10 spent working at home. There's sleeping, which can take up to another 40 hours, and then we have to consider all the chores and family-oriented activities. The week's gone and the most fun the majority of men are having is limited to leafing through their wives' new Victoria's Secret catalog. Loosen up, man Guys need to unwind, to find themselves in the company of other Y chromosomes, to be themselves and not worry about the consequences.
