1) New story up at nypost.com to rock your face off, and quoting the overlords of sexy-time-ness Rachel Kramer Bussel and Susie Bright:

To wit:

SHOCKER: You can be better in bed!

Hard to believe, I know.

From the upcoming books "How Sex Works" to "The Little Bit Naughty Book of the Best Sex Ever" to the brilliantly titled "Around the World in Eighty Lays," the number of sexual how-to, why-I-did and now-you-can-too tomes on the horizon is a veritable X-rated jackpot.

"There's this constant anxiety about sex," says Parul Sehgal, nonfiction reviews editor at Publishers Weekly. "And now we're getting books like 'How To Make Love Like a Porn Star' or 'Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man.' So it's interesting because these previously marginalized identities are being endowed with a great knowledge for us squares."

Even more exciting?

Dr. Alex Comfort's seminal, hippie-dippy, free-loving, menage-a-trois-advising 1972 edition of "The Joy of Sex" is getting a prostitution-free, condom-encouraging update, scheduled for release in January.

To whet the appetite, just browse the index.

There's "tongue bath, 119, 120; trains, 242; and transsexuals, 228."

And, in more of a cautionary tale, there's: "penis, 56-7, care and maintenance, 57 . . . as a shared possession, 36, 56, 58; size, 56, 60, 251, symbolism, 56, and vacuum cleaner injuries, 250."

2) Did you know that you can comment on any story at nypost.com? You can even email them to your friends. You can even Digg, Fark, Buzz, Facebook them and more.

Here's detailed info on how. AND thanks for playing!

(PS I even registered as a commenter. And I'm all, "Here's my comment!" And nypost.com is all, "OK, well here it is!" Except even better than that if you can imagine. And then I did it again. The second time I was all, "Here's my rejoinder!")

STEP ONE So, first, you gotta register for a username. That's pretty easy. You can do it here: http://www.nypost.com/community/register.htm

STEP TWO Then you can now magically comment on anything!

STEP THREE You are also (actually you can do this without registering) able to email articles to a friend. Just click on the "email" link where the Digg, Facebook and Fark links all are and send it to someone you know.

STEP FOUR Then, if you are so inspired (and WHY WOULDN'T YOU BE) -- please feel free to Digg, Buzz it up, Facebook or Fark the link as well.

And that's it.

How HOT is that? To quote my friend Laura, she of the genius new site Lemondrop.com, watching me encouraging viral-ness is like "watching an old man playing Nintendo...kind of sad, really."

Awesome.

Love ya like a $700 billion bailout deal,
Mandy
