    Good news for women over 35! For years we were told that birth control pills weren't safe for those of us of a certain age. Well, we've finally been given the green light to go back on contraception, and not only is it okay, it is beneficial.

    A recent study has shown that the benefits of being on the pill outweigh the risks for most types used by women over the age of 40. There are even safe options for those with risk factors like high blood pressure. An added bonus: some are actually good for alleviating perimenopausal symptoms like hot flashes and heavy menstrual bleeding.

    Sure, she's got the stress of her divorce and she's sure to have her hands full with her pregnancy, but overall, Kim Kardashian is living such a big, crazy, glitzy life these days, most of us couldn't imagine why she would want to be living it any differently. Nonetheless, during a photoshoot for UK Cosmopolitan magazine, Kim and Khloe discussed filling out the magazine's questionnaire and in particular, what Kim would do if she were a man for the day. Ha, you know, just one of those random, silly Qs, the kind that Beyonce occasionally sings about.

    But while both might be in relationships with hip-hop royalty, Kim's game plan "if she were a boy" was kiiinda different from Bey's. She said, "If I was a man, I would want to know what it's like to have sex with myself. I would just want to know what it would feel like." Uh ... huh!

    Today's eye-opening statistic: One in nine women have used the morning after pill. New data has been released that the use of emergency contraception is on the rise. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 11 percent of sexually experienced women between 15 and 44 said they've used the morning after pill between 2006 and 2010. This is compared to 4 percent in 2002. Well, hello there, awareness. It's nice to see you've spread across America.

    The most interesting part to me? Research shows more educated women are most likely to use it, and heck, I'm happy that's true. There's no excuse not to know what contraception options are on the market. Whether you have a college education or not, take this chance to educate yourself with these 5 need-to-know facts on emergency contraception:

    Playtex has a new line of sex wipes and, yes, your eyes do not deceive you. They have a message for you, and it might make you blush: "A clean beaver always finds more wood."

    Um ... say whaaaa?

    That's just one example of a new ad campaign for the "Fresh and Sexy" wipes, which will retail for $5.99 to $7.99, depending on whether you want a pack of single-use "on the go" wipes or a big tub "for the nightstand."

    It seems like since the '70s "full bush" went out of favor, women have been searching for new and exciting ways to deck out their vaginas. From vajazzling to Brazilian waxing, nothing is too wild or crazy for our lady bits.

    One of the newest fads is what's called a hood piercing, which is absolutely one of the most interesting and controversial things that a woman can do down there.

    Would you be angry, insulted, or feel imposed upon if the government made HIV testing mandatory for every citizen? Would you revolt? Or would you acquiesce because you were sure it was all part of an effort to stop the spread of the disease? The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is recommending that every American between the ages of 15 and 65 be tested for the virus. Everybody in that age range, regardless of personal history.

    Believe it or not, Cameron Diaz is 40! That's crazy! She looks at least ten years younger. Then again, who's to say what 40 looks like anyway? Most of the women I know who are 40 look ten years younger to me. But I digress ... The point is that Cam recently had no problem talking to Elle UK about all the fun and unconventional ways she torches calories to stay fit, including sex. Gasp!

    When asked what burns more calories -- 30 minutes of dancing vs. 30 minutes of sex -- Cameron cheekily replied, "Depends on what kind of sex you’re having. Try ‘em both! Do them both on the same day, that’s what I say!" Ha. Love it.

    There's been a lot of drama surrounding Kim Kardashian's ex, Kris Humphries.

    First the quickie marriage and nasty divorce and now this - a woman named Kayla Goldberg has sued Humphries, claiming he gave her herpes during a brief sexual encounter before he even met Kim.

    One week after their supposed fling, Goldberg claimed to be experiencing those pesky herpes symptoms and wasn't afraid to tell the world about it. Which leaves me to wonder why on earth she'd want to admit that she had a viral sexually transmitted disease that has no cure - plus give us all the gory details - but that's neither here nor there.

    Also -- can someone even get herpes within a week of having sex?

    When most of us think of a woman suffering from poor body image, we usually don't think of our vaginas being the target of those negative emotions. But a scary new trend shows a growing number of women feel like plastic surgery is the best way to feel better about their vajayjays that have been stretched by either aging and/or childbirth, and gynecologists, as you can imagine, are none too pleased by the fact that 2,140 women in the U.S. underwent "vaginal rejuvenation" last year.

    The docs are positive the procedure has been precipitated by women getting a good media brainwashing about how our ladyparts are supposed to look like a porn star's no matter what! Not to mention that unless we go under the knife, we likely won't be having "good enough" sex. Ugh. And one of the scariest parts is that these procedures can cause serious complications.

    I guess you CAN have too much of a good thing, particularly if that good thing is antibiotics. I mean, at first everybody was like, hooray! Take that, scarlet fever! And antibiotics were a really good thing, cause they got rid of all kinds of nasty stuff that used to kill people. Then, sadly, we went so overboard on the stuff for so many years, antibiotics are now causing problems instead of just fixing them: The terrifyingly named "superbugs," for example, like the new bionic gonorrhea, and now ... obesity?

    According to some microbiologists, antibiotics are contributing to the obesity epidemic by "killing off gut bacteria that would otherwise help digest food." A recent study found that infants who were given antibiotics before the age of 6 months "consistently added more body mass years later." And cattle farmers figured out long ago that a steady diet of antibiotics packs the pounds on cows. (They plump ... before you cook 'em!)

    Oh, and guess what? It gets worse!
