Remember the second big sexual revolution? The one in the 90’s, when the little blue pill was developed for men, allowing their limp snakes to slither and hiss again, when they had lost the power to do so on their own? Well, get ready for a third revolution, because the female version of a similar drug might be just a couple years away from hitting the market. (I’m still working on what the equivalent to “pop a pill, pop a boner” would be for a chick). If you have any clever thoughts on the matter, please let me know.

In the meantime, here are the facts. The drug company Boehringer Ingelheim is currently conducting clinical trials on a drug, Flibanserin, that is said to affect brain chemistry in such a way that it can turn frigid into frisky.

My name is Stefani McDermott and I am 38 years old. I grew up in New Jersey, moved to San Diego in 1995 and then up to the Bay Area in 2002. My husband Mike and I have been married for five years and have 3 wonderful kids: Aidan, 4 years old; Riley, 2-1/2 years old; and Liam, 7 months old.

I am fortunate enough to stay at home with my kids—although I must admit that my “mommy” job is far more demanding than any other past job.

It really boils down to this equation: up and moving vs. sitting in front of a computer all day = countless calories burned (which, in turn, means keeping fit)!

All you *f.a.t.tys (Fit After Thirty Hottys) have been asking our opinions on some products and apparel. What a *f.a.t. girl asks for, she gets! We’re giving you more product reviews, ladies! So I thought I’d start November by talking about one of the staples of every fitness wardrobe - workout pants!

Now that we are headed into colder weather and you’ll be working out in shorts less often, it’s time for you to get yourself a flattering pair of pants you can wear to the gym or for outdoor activities. I am addicted to my lululemon Groove Pant (straight leg style). 

Before discovering this brand and style, it seemed like every pair of workout pants I owned was missing one of the key elements that make for a great set of pants. I could never seem to find an attractive pant that made my rear look good without blatantly displaying the opposite side of me in the form of the dreaded “camel toe”.
