    This takes the notion of the modern family to a whole new level. A website will partner women and men who both want children, but not a romantic relationship with one another. Not much shocks me in this day and age, but this took me by surprise. That's not to say I think you should be married before having kids. That's a ridiculously outdated perception of what it takes to raise a child. In fact, there is no one definition of the perfect family anymore. However, doesn't this loveless, match-making service make parenthood -- which any parent will tell you is incredibly hard -- even more complicated.

    It’s always so touching when a TV news personality opens up on the air about how the decision to end the life of his unborn child “saved” him. No really -- that actually happened.  

    Last Friday, MSNBC host Toure celebrated the 40th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade by sharing the story of when he and an old girlfriend decided 15 years ago to abort their baby, because it was, like, totally inconvenient.

    Um, let me see, how shall I put this? I guess I'll just come right out and say it. Apparently there are couples who have sex during labor and delivery. Did you hear me? Let me phrase it another way just to be sure I got the point across. There are actually women who have sex with their husbands in the hospital either while they're in the midst of labor -- or shortly after giving birth to their babies.

    Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor while trying to get rid of the series of cringe-worthy images running through my head at the current moment.

    Well, if you've ever been curious as to what moms think about having sex after giving birth, as good a place as any to start is with a comment made by a celebrity.

    And when it comes to post-baby hanky panky, Hilary Duff says "It's definitely different," which pretty much sums things up as far as how most new moms feel.

    Oh, and you'll love this. She also added, "I'm so exhausted at the end of each day, so I'm like, 'Can this not happen at night when I'm exhausted?' You find different times to do it." (Yeah. Like never.)

    (Guess even celeb moms use the "I'm too tired" excuse.)

    Big news for those of you who wonder about pregnant nookie. You've heard that semen contains prostaglandin, right? Or that an orgasm can release it? Well, I guess they don't muster quite enough prostaglandin to trigger labor. Apparently, sex doesn't induce labor after all.

    Researchers in Malaysia invited 1,100 women who were 35 to 38 weeks pregnant to, well, have at it with their baby-daddies. They told half to "have sex frequently." They gave no directions to the other half, only told them that while sex during pregnancy is safe the effects are unknown. And after all that whoopie, none of it seemed to make a difference.

    Hollywood just loves to make fun of "pregnant sex." Seriously, who could forget the scenes in Knocked Up where Katherine Heigl's character is freaking out about how she looks and Seth Rogen's character is freaked out about hurting his unborn child? In real life, of course there are going to be concerns, safety precautions, and adjustments, but the fact is that your sex life isn't going down the toilet just because there's a baby is on the way! In fact, sex may actually feel better during pregnancy, because increased blood flow to the pelvic area can heighten the sensation during sex.

    That said, there are definitely some sex positions that are easier and more comfortable as your baby belly grows. Here, 10 of the best of the best!

    10 Reasons Pregnancy Isn't Sexy

    This morning, I read an article written by CNN contributor Shanon Cook, who talked about an experience she had in a grocery store when she was pregnant. Shockingly, a man started hitting on her, even though she was sporting a big old baby bump and was a mere three weeks from her due date.

    She was pretty surprised that this dude thought she was hot considering just how pregnant she was, so she did some research on the subject and gathered a couple opinions from a sex educator and a good male friend.

    The friend gave a few reasons why men find themselves attracted to pregnant women, including the increased size of their boobs, their "glow," and an innate desire to protect them. No big shockers there.

    But the sex educator's opinion did kind of surprise me, because she seemed to think that pregnant women feel more comfortable and sexy in their own skin than when they are not expecting.

    Really?!

    Jessica Simpson is having a tough time walking these days thanks to her enormous baby bump, but she certainly isn't having any trouble doing the horizontal limbo. Yes, you heard me correctly -- Jess absolutely loves getting it on with fiance Eric Johnson, and she thinks that the sex is even better during pregnancy. (For reals?!)

    And while most people aren't super comfortable talking about their sex life (or lack thereof) while pregnant, Jessica wasn't afraid to go ahead and share her insane horniness with millions of radio listeners. Her exact words on Ryan Seacrest's show were: "I am definitely 'feeling intimate'. I'm kind of unstoppable right now. The Big O is, like, the biggest O ever!"

    Holy moly. Can you imagine what Papa Joe must be thinking after hearing his little girl talk about rolling between the sheets? Oh, the horror.

    Despite her glamorous Hollywood lifestyle, when it comes to pregnancy, Jessica Alba is just like many of us -- worried. We fret about the foods we eat, the air we breathe, and anything else we've heard may cause harm to the little one we're entrusted with bringing into this world. While appearing on Jay Leno this week, the stunning Alba voiced an extremely common fear -- pregnant sex.

    Alba asked sex educator Sue Johanson, who was also a guest on the show, "As someone who's in the later stage of pregnancy, is there any way to harm the baby during [sexual] intercourse?"

    Johanson was swift, certain, and colorful with her answer.

    Why don't you go live with that lady?The Anthony Weiner scandal just keeps getting more and more messed up. We can add yet another victim to his abhorrent behavior: his unborn baby. Seriously, Weiner? You have the most amazing wife in the world, she's pregnant with your child, and you send crotch shots to unsuspecting young women? LOSER.

    (By the way, does this turn of events remind you of another celebrity sex scandal? A James/Bullock/Louis triangle, perhaps?)

    While, for now, it appears that Huma Abedin is staying with the slimy politician, I'd like to appeal to Abedin: Leave that sucker, Huma. And fast.
