Hell hath no fire like a soap opera sex scene. Isn’t that right, people?
For those of you who like to pretend that you have never laid eyes on a soap in your entire lives, here’s a little bit of trivia that you'll never need or use. It appears that no couple in soap opera history—whether clandestine, engaged or married—could ever engage in sexual activities without the scorching aid of a roaring fireplace or the waxy glow of a thousand candles. From a hornitologist’s point of view, the association between sex and fire is primal and also elementary in its attempt to efficiently convey the feeling of two hot, sweaty, writhing bodies

Alright, people, here’s a good one. Whenever we talk about relationships, most of us tend to equate commitment with monogamy. But how innate is monogamy to the human species? How natural is this one-mate-for-life business for us really? Apparently, not one bit.

Two feuding households, two star-crossed lovers, too much blood spilled and not enough sex. Sounds familiar? Of course, it does, it’s the greatest love tragedy ever told, sprung out of the fertile quill of William Shakespeare.
Everybody knows the story of how these two Clandestines came to:

Alright, people, let’s take a look under the hood of life, shall we? See that chrome, roaring beast, revving up like Grease Lightening? That’s Lust, the driving force behind basic human behavior. If you think for a second that you’re immune to its irresistible pull, think again. Lust makes everybody’s world go 'round even faster than money because money is a byproduct of lust, not vice

This is one of those stories that has been told and retold and then told again in every possible way and fashion. Plot changes notwithstanding, there are a few elements of this tale of lust, power and betrayal that remain the same throughout every single version, the main one being how Tristan and Isolde fell fatefully in love with one another. It involves a love potion, which was provided to Isolde by her own

Glory, Lust, Betrayal! The basic ingredients for a blockbuster. No wonder Hollywood churns out a remake of King Arthur & Court’s story every 2 years or so.
Lancelot was tall, dark and handsome, and chicks fell for him like he was George Clooney. Still, that didn’t deter Arthur from making him his most trusted knight and his own wife’s champion, appointed to serve her (and eventually service her) 24/7. Lancelot fell for his queen before he could say “Camelot”, and their torrid affair is the stuff of medieval legends. Funny fact, according to some early prose—not nearly as popular as Malory’s “Le Morte D’Arthur”—

Saints Sergius and Bacchus were not just Christian canonized martyrs, they were also III century Roman soldiers, whose suspiciously close relationship might indicate that don’t-ask-don’t-tell is an ancient military tradition. Evidence of their alleged love affair is found in the original text of their martyrology, where the term "erastai", Greek for lovers, is used to describe the couple. However, we believe that the ultimate evidence is provided by this picture right here, which is worth a thousand Greek words. GO SAINTS!

There’s no denying that David (of David & Goliath fame) and Jonathan (King Saul’s oldest son) knew each other biblically in The Old Testament. Despite some scholarly objectors, who insist their bond was purely platonic, the dynamic biblical duo’s story gets gayer by the minute.
When hot, young David catches Jonathan’s eye, it’s love at first sight. Right on the spot, Prince Jonathan strips naked (gay sign #1) and offers David his haute-couture wardrobe made of rich, exotic fabrics (the time’s equivalent of cashmere): "And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his
