Hot Sex | Should Sex Be Mandatory In Marriage?

If you're married and unhappy with your sex life, should you sue your spouse?

That's exactly what a woman in France did recently. In a rare decision, a judge ordered her ex-husband pay $14,000 in damages for failing to have enough sex during their 21-year marriage. This raises the question, "Is sex a mandatory part of marriage?"

According to one American study from the General Social Survey , married men and women, on average, have sex with their spouse 58 times a year -- a little more than once a week. But 15 percent of married couples haven't had sex with their spouse in the last six months-to-one-year, according to a study conducted by Georgia State University .

So, should married couples be required to have sex, and if so, how often?

Cosmopolitan Executive Editor Nicole Beland and Matt Titus, author of "Why Hasn't He Called? How Guys Really Think," chimed in on the hot topic.

Watch the video above, and let us know, using the comments area of this story, whether you feel sex during a marriage should be mandatory.

Sex | Italian Student Killed In 'sex Game Gone Wrong'

Italian prosecutors have charged a 42-year-old man with killing a female student who suffocated during a sex-game gone wrong, media reported Sunday.

Soter Mule tied Paola Caputo, 24, to another woman while performing a Japanese sado-masochist technique known as "shibari."

The engineer was originally held for murder but authorities in Rome believe Caputo and her friend consented to the game.

Investigators have so far established that the three spent the night drinking and using drugs at a club before Caputo, said to be Soter's long-term girlfriend, suggested going to the car park of the building in a Rome suburb where she worked as a caretaker.

The two women remained clothed while they were tied tightly together with the same rope and suspended two metres off the ground. The balancing act meant that when the unnamed woman fainted, Caputo was suffocated.

Mule tried to save her by cutting the cord before calling for help. He reportedly told investigators: "No one forced anyone. Paola and her friend consented. It's a horrible accident."

Caputo's 23-year-old friend was taken to hospital in a serious, but not life-threatening condition.

Nicknamed Kinbaku, Mule was known online for practicing bondage and was a member of the BDSM association, standing for bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism.

"He was considered one of the experts," a person familiar with the scene told the Ansa news agency.

"Practising this kind of extreme sex, everything has to be controlled, but he knew that completely. We don't understand what happened."

Sex | Kim Kardashian Not Mystery Buyer Of Kim Kardashian Sex Tape

Someone has been trying to buy the rights to professional celebrity Kim Kardashian's sex tape from Vivid Entertainment. There's been speculation that the party interested in paying the porn company the tape's $30 million asking price is actually Kim and giant husband Kris themselves, but those rumors were debunked yesterday when the buyer met with Vivid representatives. If the bid's successful, the buyer promises to reveal why s/he is doing it.
If you're trying to go back to the source and shut off the endless spurting fountain that is Kim Kardashian's talentless celebrity, t's too late, mystery bidder. You can't Inception reality. We're all beyond help now. For the love of Ray J, save yourself! [ Digital Spy ]

Rapper Game defended himself against claims that he was homophobic after making statements about closeted gay men spreading HIV, claiming that he has several gay friends. Including 50 Cent . Outing someone who is actually gay or attempting to out them in an attempt to shame them is pretty Wanksta behavior. [ Crushable ]

Creative Emmys were handed out last night, and Justin Timberlake won a couple more statuettes for his always-brilliant turns on SNL. Despite the fact that JT is hilarious on the show and the world is made just a little brighter because "Dick in a Box" exists, we need to stop rewarding Justin Timberlake for doing things that are not making another album. There are dozens of good SNL guest stars and only one person who can make a Justin Timberlake album. What are we supposed to listen to, Justin? Drake? Robin Thicke? No thank you. [ Yahoo ]

Christina Hendricks says she loves milking cows and misses the smell of hay. When I first read this, I thought, Poor Joan. Such a tragic character. because I'm apparently incapable of mentally separating Christina Hendricks, actual person and imaginary character Joan Holloway Harris. [ Contact Music ]

One of Jack Nicholson's houses burned to the ground yesterday. Or should I say, another one of Jack Nicholson's houses burned to the ground? All work in roles as a cranky old man and no play as a confusing sex symbol make Jack a dull boy, indeed. [Digital Spy ]

Charlie Sheen and the feral bromeliad that he calls hair were roasted by Comedy Central last night by a cavalcade of celebrities that included Mike Tyson, who concluded his incoherent speech by declaring that he was the best poet alive and that he'll eat your children. This isn't a joke. Tyson really said those things. [ Yahoo ]

Moby doesn't understand why men in pornographic movies have such giant wangs and has suggested that porn for men be made featuring actors with small to average genitalia. That exists, Moby. It's called Entourage . [ Contact Music ]

Demi Moore tweeted a picture of her back naked from the waist up with some message about making sure that you've got your own back. Think artistic but troubled and underloved teen with unfettered access to the family webcam, irritating in that the phrase "got your own back" can generally be understood without a pictorial explanation. If you want to be nude, just be nude, Demi. One of the reasons people like Coco is that she's straightforward about the fact that she just wants attention. "BOOBIES," she tweets, and, sure enough, there are some boobies. [ Daily Mail]

Evan Rachel Wood got elbowed in the face at a Paris club on Tuesday night, and as a result is minus one tooth. After the incident, she told fellow partiers that she was just fine and continued soldiering on. Now she's carrying the tooth around with her in a sparkly rock encrusted box. [ Us ]

The Abercrombie vs. The Situation... er... situation... intensifies as the star of your sexual nightmares is suing the clothier, claiming that they're benefiting from slogans Sitch came up with. This on the heels of a much-publicized effort by the chain to convince the reality TV star to stop wearing its clothing in public by offering a payout. It sounds like The Situation has a solid case- the chain has sold shirts that read both "GTL Fitch" and "The Fituation," both of which sound pretty Jersey Shore-derived. Whatever the outcome, let's hope it gets resolved amicably and quickly. I hate it when Mommy and Daddy fight. [ Digital Spy ]

Anal | Scientists Discover Velcro Makes Lab-Grown Muscle Stronger [Science]

We can grow lots out of labs these days. When you can grown full brains and anal sphincters in petri dishes, muscle must seem like cake. Except that it doesn't hold up the way muscle should. The solution? Velcro.\n

Oh, Velcro. I never meant to take you for granted. As it turns out, researchers at Eindhoven University found that strapping down the growing muscle onto pads of velcro helps give it the necessary structure and alignment to exert force. Otherwise the cells wind up growing up into a wad of disorganized tissue.\n

The muscles even grow their own network of blood vessels. All these factors combine to make this a big step toward developing treatments for patients who've lost muscle in accidents or surgery. Researchers hope to see new therapies developed in ten years time. In the meantime, I'm gonna find my old L.A. Lights sneakers and think about the meaning of progress.

Sex | Sex Offender Update

Two high-risk sex offenders, one who choked a young woman unconscious, have registered as living homeless in Clark County, and a third has found a home in downtown Vancouver.

Kevin Scott Danielson, John Francis Ammons and Patrick Robin King are classified as Level 3 sex offenders, the group considered most likely to commit new sex crimes, according to bulletins from the Sex Offender Registration Unit of the Clark County Sheriff's Office.

Danielson, 39, has been convicted of first-degree sex abuse, for victimizing a 4-year-old girl and two boys, ages 6 and 7.

He's also been convicted of first-degree assault and second-degree burglary, for unlawfully entering the home of a 19-year-old woman while she slept. He held a knife to her throat while trying to remove her shirt and choked her unconscious. When she awoke, her keys and vehicle were missing, the bulletin said.

Danielson is white, 5 feet 10 inches tall and 180 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes " and is homeless, a bulletin said.

Ammons, 35, recently was released from the Clark County Jail and also has registered as being homeless.

Ammons has been convicted of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes and third-degree rape of a child, officials said. His victims were a 6-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl.

In 1998, 1999 and 2007, he was convicted of failing to register as a sex offender.

Ammons is white, 5 feet 8 inches tall and 190 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.

King, 58, has moved to the 100 block of East Sixth Street, his bulletin said.

King has been convicted of indecent liberties with an 8-year-old girl whom he was baby-sitting, and threatening to kill her if she told others about the abuse; and first-degree child molestation of a 5-year-old girl while she slept.

He is white, 5 feet 9 inches tall and 210 pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes.

King drives a gray 1983 Pontiac Firebird with Washington license AAG7380 and a white 1977 Tioga 23-foot motor home with Washington license 111VJP.

The three men are not being sought by police.

Danielson is monitored by officers with the sheriff's unit and Vancouver Police Department's Sex Offender Tracking Unit.

Ammons and King are monitored by both of those units and the state Department of Corrections.

The Columbian's policy is to publish a story and photo when Level 3 sex offenders move to, change addresses in or become homeless in Clark County.

Porn | .xxx Domains Have Arrived, Somehow Making Porn Even Easier To Find

ICM Registry states on its main page that ".XXX isn't just coming, it's here!" While you can't help but read that phrase, along with anything else on ICM's site, as a double entendre, the statement is still true. In this 50 day period that started September 7, "Sunrise A" gives the opportunity for those in the porn business to secure a certain .xxx domain while "Sunrise B" covers those who wish to protect their brands from being associated with adult entertainment by removing their trademarks from eligibility.

Luckily for Regis (and 99.99% of the world), most famous celebrities have had their names made off-limits when it comes to the new domain . Companies like Disney, on the other hand, are going to have to cover as many bases as possible. In order to prevent something from being registered as a .xxx, the applicant must be a trademark holder, meaning that they have a legal right to be the only party identified with that word or phrase on the Internet.

Disney, for example, holds a lot of trademarks, but there are also a lot of strange people out there. If domains did crop up later that obviously infringe a trademark owned by a company like Disney, they can apply to have it removed, for a fee. Companies with many well-known trademarks will not only be looking at a lot of fees to exempt their marks initially in this sunrise period, but could also be looking at more to kill those sites they never thought someone would be so depraved to register. Is this really fair, for the sake of a porn domain? It may help to set adult sites apart from most of the other destinations on the Internet, but it seems that it doesn't really matter what the domain for a porn site is, if people want to, they will find it.

When the sunrise period ends on October 28, what ICM refers to as a "quiet period" will follow, where presumably, everyone will have to suffer a little while longer with old-fashioned .com porn sites. Then, on November 6, there will be a "land rush" where those not qualifying for Sunrise A can secure a domain. But the most interesting date will be December 6 when the domain opens up to general registration. Then we'll see just how weird things can get.
