THE HOUSE OF YES

Carol: With my new boyfriend I have the kind of wild sex I never thought I'd have. We've done it in almost every corner of my apartment -- in the kitchen, on the stairs, on the coffee table. This past week we had sex on the carpet in the living room; after we finished he was like, "Oh no, look at your knees." They were covered with rug burns, so he went out and bought me Neosporin. He felt so bad about it, he made my bed the next morning. What a guy! Friends have told me they like having sex on top of the washing machine because of the vibrations. I'll have to try that next. I'm 29, but I'd never had anal sex until now. Wow! It's amazing, especially when it's with a guy you really have chemistry with. You can relax enough to just let it happen. And I hadn't been able to orgasm from just oral sex until now. The last time he performed oral sex on me, I was shaking for an hour. I'm finally having the experiences I'd only read about!

IT'S THE LOVE, STUPID

Darlene: If you ask me now about sex, I'll say something different from what I'd have said five years ago. Then it was lust. Now it's love. I have had wild sex, but just having sex with some hot guy isn't enough. This one guy really wanted to take me out on a date, but I wasn't interested, because I had just ended a relationship. Finally, I agreed to a date. He pulled up in a limo at nine in the morning, and the next thing I knew, we were in his private jet flying to Vegas for the weekend. I said, "Money doesn't impress me. The soul of a person does." He said, "I didn't take you here for sex. I found out you like boxing. That's why I flew you out here." That softened me up, and we started talking, really getting to know each other. At some point I said, "The next time I sleep with a man, I want to marry him." So he proposed.
