Well, you’re not alone. According to an article on the McClatchy News site, the days between Christmas and New Years are the peak time for sex in the United States.

The Christmas-New Year’s period produces a year-high spike in sexual activity and conceptions in the United States, according to biorhythm researchers and makers of sex-related products.

They attribute the increase to holiday leisure and New Year’s resolutions to have children. New Year’s irresolution fueled by alcohol and partying is another contributing factor.

“Right before New Year’s Eve is our highest sales peak,” said David Johnson, group product manager for Trojan brand condoms, the leading U.S. seller.

So, have Merry for Christmas and don’t forget the ho – ho – ho.

The Australians have done a study of college students and sex. It found that male science nerds were least likely to have sex. And, female art students were most likely to have sex.

As anyone who had ever attened university could have told you without having to spend the money on a study.

Oh, wait. They got to interview the female art students.

Nevermind.

When her husband’s 40th birthday approached, Charla Muller wanted just the right gift.

It had to be fabulous, over the top, something so special “that my husband would never have to pause and say, ‘What did Charla give me for my 40th birthday?’”

Let us declare now that Muller, a Charlotte, N.C., wife, mother and public relations professional, succeeded on all counts. Her gift? Sex, every day, for a year.

Soon, the world will learn of Charla’s gift. Her book, 365 Nights: A Memoir of Intimacy, co-written with Betsy Thorpe, (Amazon pre-order $11.20, List $14.00) hits bookstores in July.

In it, Muller tackles issues familiar to almost anyone in a marriage or long-term relationship: How does intimacy flourish in real, busy lives? How do you deal when one partner — usually the man — wants a lot more sex than the other?

Charla (pronounced sharla) and Brad Muller are, in many ways, a typical couple. They have a nice house, two kids, a strong marriage.

Like many couples, they’d found sex had taken a back seat to the crush of daily obligations — work, parenting, running a house. Or, as Charla says in the book, “Intimacy had ended up like that box of Girl Scout cookies in the back of the freezer, hidden behind the frozen pizzas.”

But she loved her husband a lot, she says, so she set out to rediscover intimacy.

In an effort to force the writers to end their strike, I give you my list:

1. Audrey Marie Anderson: The Unit. The kind of wife a lot of soldiers wish they had. Strong and sexy and tender and caring and hard as nails.
2. Gabrielle Anwar: Burn Notice. Don’t know if this show will return for a second season
3. Tracie Thoms: Cold Case. New to the show, Thoms adds a street smart look, and a wry humor, as well as a terrific counter balance to pale blonde Kathryn Morris. We need more of this actress.
4. Alicia Minshew: All My Children. Playing the part that Sarah Michelle Gellar originated as Kendall Hart. Slender, willowy, style personified. Just the look that Erica Kane’s daughter ought to have.
5. Lea Thompson: Jane Doe: Eye of the Beholder. Thompson is great as a soccer mom, ex-spy. She looks fantastic in casual clothes and eveningware. She should have won Celebrity Duets.
6. Holly Hunter: Saving Grace. We’ve seen a lot of Holly on this show. She’s slender, but, wow! Her personality lights up the television. She’s three years younger than I am, but in much better shape.
7. Emily Procter: CSI: Miami. Gun pr0n. A strong woman who loves to shoot. I doubt real CSI’s dress like she does but I don’t care.
8. Jennifer Love Hewitt: Ghost Whisperer. Yes, she has two lovely attributes. There’s more to her, however. That head tilt. Those deep, soulful eyes.
9. Amanda Tapping: Stargate: Atlantis. Tapping has lit up Sci Fi as Samantha Carter in both the Stargate series. No need to trash dress. And, her comedy backgound provides a delightful surprise on occasion.
10. Summer Glau: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. quirky, kick-ass, drop dead beautiful. All those words describe Summer Glau.

Don’t make these women cry. Go back to work!

Tila Tequila – what can I say? I watched the show a few times. The guys were dorks, jocks but dorks. Some of the lesbians were very attractive, you know, the good gay.

Still, why would anyone watch this gal on a regular basis? Her brain makes interstellar space look crowded.

Broken hearted and back with a vengeance to find true love one last time, Tila Tequila returns as MTV greenlights a second season of the breakout hit, “A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila.” The network is scheduled to air 10 new episodes beginning this spring. MTV is rounding up a new group of suitors, both straight guys and lesbians, to vie for Tila’s love and attention. Liz Gateley, Senior Vice President of Series Development for MTV, also announced today an overall production services agreement with 495 Productions and Sally Ann Salsano.

The season one finale delivered an impressive 5.9 P12-34 rating to become the highest rated series telecast on MTV since August 2005. With over 6 million total viewers on average, the finale was MTV’s most watched series telecast among total viewers (P2+) since November 2002. The series became MTV’s highest rated new series among P12-34 in 2007 and ranked #1 in its time period (Tue 10PM-11PM) among P12-34 across all of cable.

“Thanks to the creative talent and vision of Sally Ann Salsano, ‘A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila’ was one of our big breakout hits for 2007,” said Tony Disanto, EVP of Series Development & Programming for MTV. “We are now officially expanding our relationship with Sally Ann and her team at 495 Productions and look forward to her next slate of projects including, another “Shot At Love,” “That’s Amore,” and more great, compelling TV for our viewers.
