A weekly roundup of sex- and love-related posts from some of our favorite blogs and websites:

• College Candy reports that boobs are growing. Not anyone’s in particular — just boobs in general. (Which we suppose is excellent news for all the “melon-ballers” out there.)
• Our old pal Grant Stoddard (yep, the one we cross-dressed) goes head to head with Susannah Breslin in a debate over who’s got it tougher when it comes to casual sex: The woman who’s called a slut for having too much? Or the guy who’s branded a loser for not having enough?
• Screw all you cynics: The latest research says that romantic love can too last. (But if you read this New York Times Modern Love column, then you already knew that.)
• Our friend Emily Nussbaum at New York mag makes a very compelling scientific case for cougars.
• On YourTango, Tony Dovolani of Dancing with the Stars says that dancing is some of the best couples therapy there is.
• Bonnie Smolins talks with a sex and relationship coach about how to have the best sex of your life after fifty. (Yes, she’s talking about your parents.)
• College Candy lists the five most annoying couple-isms (though, for the record, Em and Em alone thinks it’s totally romantic to make out in non-romantic places).
• Glamour’s Single-ish blogger Ryan finally ditches the Portishead from his getting-it-on mix.
• The Frisky has some tips on how to spice up recession sex. Come on, deep down you know you want to try the trenchcoat thing, cheesy as it is. What better excuse than an economic downturn?!
• FunkyBrownChick wants to know whether good sex is a basic human need. (We know exactly how Straying Dog, who wrote into our site this week, would answer that question.)
