From faulty marriage advice, to sleeping naked to sex on the beach, this week's top stories promise a little something for everyone.

Thanks to ThinkProgress.org, the people who watch Fox News so we don’t have to, for highlighting an interview Fox & Friends had with Susan Patton (AKA The Princeton Mom) last week Monday.
Patton first came on the scene last year when she suggested that female students at her alma mater should spend 95 percent of their time in college looking for a husband. In last Monday’s interview, she told women to stop acting like entitled princesses and putting their careers ahead of their families. Instead, she urged young women to show appreciation and respect for their husbands with a drink at the end of a long work day. She also suggested that "date rape" should be redefined as "mistake sex."

Want more realistic advice about being happy together?A British poll says the secret to staying together is sleeping in the nude. The poll revealed that 57 percent of couples who sleep in the buff were happier in their relationships than the 48 percent who don their jammies. "Bedding can feel extremely soft against the skin, encouraging openness and intimacy between couples and ultimately increasing happiness," says Stephanie Theirs-Ratcliffe, who worked on the poll. If you’re one of those people who uses apps like Map My Run, Strava or FitBit to track your workout routine, there’s an app that’s hopefully scheduled to go on the market soon: kGoal. It's an insertable silicone pillow that tracks the effectiveness and quality of your pelvic floor squeezes and enters the data on a smartphone. If a squeeze is done properly, there’s the option of sending a little buzz your way as a reward. How’s that for an incentive to get vaginally fit?

But according to Justin Lehmiller,kGoal isn’t the only techno-perv gadget on the market. FleshLight has recently released the Launchpad for tablets. OhMiBod has just come out with vibrating underwear that’s controlled from your smartphone via a Bluetooth connection. There’s the Dildomaker (well, sort of), which can transform just about any kind of household object like vegetables, hot dogs and candles, into a dildo. Then there’s a robotic device that holds a plastic tube that fits over a penis and moves up and down. As an extra perk, a pair of virtual reality goggles shows an anime babe synced to the motion of the robot. Thank goodness for technology ... I think? If you think the United States has the highest percentage of sexually satisfied people, you couldn’t be more wrong. According to a Nigerian online news site, The Trent, the U.S. doesn’t even rank in the Top 10. The list ranks Spain first, Switzerland second, Italy third, Nigeria fourth, and China fifth.

If you think about it, it should come as no surprise that China ranks so high. The country manufactures 70 percent of the world’s sex toys. If you’re thinking of crossing the fantasy of having sex on the beach off your bucket list this summer (fuck it?), you just may want to take it off your list completely. Women’s Health Magazine compiled a list of things that make this form of sex wet but probably not so wild. Among the reasons: sand, which gets everywhere and scrapes skin; little critters like jellyfish; salt water, which dries skin and removes natural lubrication; the risk of stepping on sharp things at night; and condom slippage. It's great list overall, but it misses penis shrinkage.

Sir Mix A Lot may like big butts, but Jillian Paulson doesn’t like big dicks. Shocking? Surprising? Perhaps not after you read her article in Thought Catalog. Among her complaints: pain (one left her sore for three days), UTIs, difficulty in giving head, and well-endowed men’s tendencies to annihilate the cervix.
Paulson isn’t the only woman with a laundry list of complaints about large love swords. A reader who goes by the name of "Blue" gives a big round of applause for average-sized penises in a guest post in In Bed with Married Women. Blue’s tale comes from an experience that she had from an affair (nothing she advocates). She best sums it up as: if the shoe fits, wear it. Being talented at sex helps too.

Why go out to meet people with similar kinky interests when you have the Internet? Why is it not a good idea to explicitly talk about sex on a site like FetLife? The answers come froma post from a former FetLife creepster Dom in erotica writer Jolynn Raymond’s blog. It’s a wonderful observation about how sites like FetLife are more about real people who have real-life kinky sex and not about people who get off on make-believe role-playing and fantasies. It’s also a story that has a very happy ending.
