The Year In Sex: 2012's Best And Worst Moments

Sex scandals, movies about vibrators and phone sex lines, ignorant politicians, sugar daddies, Ryan Lochte's penchant for one-night stands...

2012 has been a pretty interesting year in our collective American sex life. Over the past 12 months we've made progress in certain areas -- we can stop freaking out about "hookup culture"! -- and less in others -- many politicians don't know how pregnancy works!
