Two Thirds of Single People Have Given Up on Sex (on Valentine's Day, at Least)

​Only one third of singles expect to get laid on Valentine's Day -- about the same number that Facebook stalk their exes, a new study reveals.

The survey of 515 self-identified singles, conducted by Facebook dating app Areyouinterested.com, finds that 33 percent plan on winding up in bed on what's marketed as the most commercialized romantic day of the year. (Gross.)

Apparently, singles are not deterred by blind dates -- 74 percent would totally meet up with a stranger "indicating singles are not intimidated by the romantic pressure the holiday typically brings."

Uh-Oh: You Might Have an STD! The Whole World Might Know, Too

​Love is supposed to be everlasting. Unfortunately for many, the only permanent thing to come out of a relationship is an incurable sexually transmitted disease.

And that's why Cyrus Sullivan, of Portland, Ore., claims that he runs STD Carriers Disease Control and Prevention Services, a website that lists claimed and confirmed carriers by their names, locations, descriptions, and sometimes their photos.

The database is completely open to the public -- you don't have to login to browse the listings, and many of the recently added carriers' pics are displayed prominently on the site's front page. Users submit photos freely. There are about 1,500 listings.

From the workmanlike design and sluggish flash slideshow and bizarre comparisons between Pearl Harbor's "hostile Asian men" and STD awareness, you might get the impression that Sullivan, who also runs an online reputation-management business, operates with a tongue-in-cheek M.O.

And you'd be wrong: Sullivan is for real and his work (for better or for worse) is heartfelt, -- and he has updated his site just in time for Valentine's Day.

From the mission statement: "It is our goal that by promoting the sharing of information that we can ultimately protect you health from dangerous diseases while protecting your civil liberties and providing quality entertainment."

Oh boy.

Men Do Not Mind a Little Girl-on-Girl Cheating, Now and Again

​Ah, why is this not all that surprising? Hm. A father-daughter research team (awkward) from the University of Texas at Austin took on the question of cheating, and determined that men were twice as likely to forgive women who same-sex cheated, and far less likely to continue dating women who cheated with other dudes. Meanwhile, women didn't much like cheaters at all, but were slightly more likely to stay with a guy who cheated with a woman than another guy.

What Do You Remember More, Your First Kiss...or Your First Lay?

​Supposedly, your first kiss is more memorable than your first sexual experience. Scientist Sheril Kirshenbaum has written a book about the research she's conducted on the subject, in which she determines that "most of us" can recall "90 percent of the details" of that first smooch. This, according to her studies, trumps what we can recall of our first times in the sack, perhaps because those details tend to be harrowing at best.
