mens-health-big-book-of-sexThe week before Valentine’s Day is chock-full of polls, surveys and a hundred press releases all beginning with “Because Valentine’s Day is around the corner.

This survey from Men’s Health caught my attention. Any press release that begins with how many women like spanking goes to the front of the line.

To the 25 companies who’s poll results I didn’t run: Once the garters and $100 Victoria’s Secret panties go back in the dresser there are lots of things to be said about what it takes to have healthy relationships the other 364 days a year.

Time for Men’s Health to show us what they learned this year.
