Let's talk about sex! Of course everyone understands the basics, but do you really know everything you need to know? Sex ed is especially important this time of year, as Valetine's Day looms just two weeks away. So GoodInBed.com creator and sex expert Ian Kerner is gathering data from real moms about love, romance, and knockin' boots and he needs your help!

It doesn't matter what the rest of the world thinks of June Shannon's looks. All that matters is that her man Sugar Bear thinks she's the most "beautimous" woman in his world. It's a match made in redneck heaven and Mama reveals just how the two met and fell in love. No -- it wasn't at a mud boggin' rally. It's actually quite sweet ... and something every single woman who has tried to find Mr. Right in the last decade can relate to.

Thanksgiving has come and gone. You and the bird are way past stuffed at this point. Now the real horror show begins. The holiday season!

Besides fighting the crowds, the traffic, and the insanity, the absolute worst part of the holidays is figuring out exactly what to get your wife. Every woman is different, so I can't even presume to tell you what you should buy for the gorgeous lady in your life. (Though I've heard this Fifty Shades of Grey thing is gonna take off ...)

I will, however, tell you what not to do. There are certain gifts that the majority of women, regardless of their interests, will downright hate. And by hate, I mean smacking you upside your head with a frying pan. Keep your head intact and read on to see the 8 absolute worst gifts you could ever give your wife.

Remember that old adage "it takes half the time you were together to get over a breakup"? I do. I also think it's a pile of horse poo.

Now let me be clear here: I'm in the middle of a divorce and have absolutely no intention of dating for a good long while. I'm enjoying having some time alone, time I can spend rediscovering myself and learning who I am now. After nine years of marriage, I have a lot of rediscovering to do.

But I still don't think it's going to take me five years to date again. Even though I am a single parent.

I've been fairly open and honest about the divorce I'm going through, which has been no easy feat. I've been separated from my husband for more than two years now, which means that all my well-meaning friends are bending over backwards to find me a new man in my life.

Problem is, I don't want one.

At least, not yet.

The temperatures may have dropped but there are plenty of things you can do (either outside or indoors) to heat things up. Check out 5 fun date night ideas for fall:

Well, things with Jef Holm may not have quite worked out the way she expected, but it looks like Emily Maynard is now dating NASCAR truck racer Jason White -- which is a pretty good indicator that she's moving on with her life after being The Bachelorette.

According to an eyewitness who saw Emily and Jason at the Carrie Underwood concert in Charlotte last Saturday, "They were all over each other." The source also added, "Jason guided her through the crowd and held her hand as they walked downstairs."

(Aww. He sounds like a pretty nice dude.)

Today we've got a confession from Melinda* -- a 30-something divorced mom of a school-aged son -- who has it hot for teacher ... her child's teacher.
