(NMB) Can an electric device be sexy? Fiat tries to prove that there's something better than saving gas, the climate, and the planet by driving a plug in automobile. This woman agrees.

Uncoupling can be complicated after merging.

Goop has dimmed the lights and set the scene for romance in the latest post on tantric sex. The Gwyneth Paltrow-approved guide will help couples and non-couples achieve "deep intimacy," without forcing seven hours of straight intercourse. In true goop fashion, there are bundles of irresistible lines. Here are the very goop-iest:

 And finally, make friends with your 'dark side.' Nothing enlivens intimacy more." More (Goop)
