The final scene of the epic 1958 adventure flick The Vikings goes something like this: The corpse of Prince Einar (Kirk Douglas) is carried onto a longship by four decorated Viking warriors. A shield is placed above his head, the massive striped sail drops into place and...
Who gets bored with monogamy faster in a relationship: men, with their roaring libidos, or women, with their faithful, low-sex-drives? Though new research suggests it’s men who tire more quickly of sex with the same old ball and chain, don’t let the science or the stereotypes fool...
