In a new campaign ad in response to Barack Obama's recent criticism of John McCain's education record, the McCain camp says that Barack Obama's one education "accomplishment" was legislation to teach kindergartners "comprehensive sex ed." Here's the script:

Eric Benet got quite the bad reputation after his high-profile divorce from one of the most beautiful women in show business, but I have to respect him for finally calling the "sex addiction" that broke up his marriage to Halle Berry what it was. Good ol' fashioned infidelity. New York Magazine broached the subject with him outside of the Carlos Campos show Sunday.

How about David Duchovny's recent revelation that he's in rehab for sex addiction? Benet didn't know Duchovny had sought treatment, but wished him well. "I hope he finds peace and help and whatever he's dealing with," Benet said. "Sex addiction is a real thing, you know. In retrospect, it's not what I would label my situation." Hold on! If he wasn't addicted to sex, how does he explain his former cheating ways? "Making some stupid-ass, stupid-ass mistakes," he said, shaking his head. Yep, that's exactly what we'd call getting dumped by Halle Berry, too.

Which hip-hop mogul had a hidden video camera installed in a light fixture in his bedroom? He likes to record his sessions with unsuspecting ladies for future replays?

Wherein you, the readers, talk amongst yourselves.

An exasperated friend who is chronically unlucky in love recently proclaimed that she has come to the conclusion that all black men cheat on their significant others. I argued, and she later backed down a bit, conceding that of course not every black man cheats and that infidelity is not a phenomenon limited to black men (or men, period), but in her personal experience, a guy is more likely to cheat than not to cheat. What are your thoughts? Guys and gals, weigh in.

Bow Wow really, really, really, really wants us to know that shooting a sex scene with a porn star on Entourage was no big thing, because it's normal for him. It happens. It happens all the time, okay!!!!

And if you're a lady and would like to remain in control of your sanity, you might want to skip this episode. Because you will go crazy if you see it.

If Flavor Flav is to be believed — and I can't think of any concrete reasons why he shouldn't… or should — he has been somehow convincing women to have sexual intercourse with him since he was six years old. The early start explains how he ended up with many damn kids. It doesn't explain much else, though.

Complex: Where did you lose your virginity?

Flavor Flav: Where did I lose my virginity? I lost my virginity in the bushes on a box.

Complex: Really?

Flavor Flav: Yea, in the bushes on a box. A girl and me were having sex on a box in the bushes, in some big tall bushes.

Complex: How uh…when was this?

Flavor Flav: This was when I was real, real, real, real, young.

Complex: Like elementary school? Or middle school?

Flavor Flav: Nah, I’m a tell you the truth; I lost my virginity when I was 6 years old.

Earlier in the interview, Flavor Flav reveals that his favorite thing to barbecue is "shrimps." Too bad he already has a fiancee… [Complex]

Alana Wyatt-Smith, a Canadian ex-stripper and "video model," knew Mos Def — the actor, "conscious" rapper, and extremely fertile father of six kids by four different women — for three days before she married him. They separated six months later, but she clearly culled enough information from her marriage to Mos Def along with her dalliances with several other famous men to fill a tell-all, self-published book called Breaking the Code of Silence. She would like Oprah to take notice, because she believes that her book about having a bunch of affairs and marrying a famous guy will help women the world over.

“Then there’s the woman out there who doesn’t know the difference between `Is he my lover? Is he my pimp?;’ I’ve been there. Or, `I’m dating this NBA player, he flies me to 13 cities straight out of 82 games, I think he’s in love with me, but does he really like me?’ No, I’ve done it. And `Oh, my gosh! I thought he really liked me, we built this huge chemistry up until he came here, then he never called me after we slept together;’ I’ve been there. I saw death; I wound up on a hospital bed for three months because of my first boyfriend.If you have a question, I can answer it,” she insists.

But Alana-Wyatt is less unique and more similar to a bunch of people who have recently written tell-alls about their famous husbands, wives, sexual conquests, and even, in one case, the sexual preferences of an entire industry. The major difference between Alana Wyatt-Smith and some of the people listed after the jump, reports the Toronto Star's Ashante Industry, is that their books don't suffer from the "errors in spelling, grammar and coherency that plague her self-published narrative."

A Memphis high school is under press scrutiny after a video entitled "Mitchell High School Memphis … Rape Dat Ho" turned up on YouTube. In the clip, several teenagers simulate rough sex while peers cheer them on. Although the clip was flagged as offensive and then removed from the video sharing site, another soon took its place, this one featuring teens humping the floor a la Peer Pressure, all the while in full view of adults.

Mitchell High School administrators have confirmed that both incidents took place inside the school's gymnasium, but, as you might expect, they are hesitant to take the blame for the act. According to a statement released by Memphis City Schools, it's THE MEDIA that's making these children play rape:

Pop-culture, the Internet and mainstream media greatly influence the activity and behavior of today's youth. We trust that our partners in education — parents, guardians and school families will continue to reinforce to children the appropriate way to conduct themselves before, during and after school hours.

Clearly, "Accepting Responsibility 101" is not part of the Mitchell High School curriculum.

In her new article in The Times of London, epidemiologist Elizabeth Pisani, an AIDS researcher for more than 10 years, says she believes political correctness has impeded the eradication of HIV and AIDS in Africa. Specifically, that the many nations and medical groups working to prevent the spread of the disease are unwilling to express this truth: "HIV is largely a sexually transmitted infection, so there must be something different about sex in Africa."

To help make her point, Pisani notes that though the popular assumption holds that poverty and a lack of education are the main reasons AIDS has spread like wildfire throughout sub-Saharan Africa, other impoverished nations are not nearly as plagued by the illness:

The truth is that a society in which many people have two or three partners on the go at any one time will produce a bigger epidemic than a society where people may have 10 partners in five years, but only one at a time. And it’s a fact that in parts of Africa, it’s more common for both men and women to have two or three simultaneous relationships than to have serial partners. Do people behave in this way because they are poor and ignorant? Not in Bangladesh, or Bolivia, or dozens of other countries where incomes and literacy are low. Indeed, in Africa, the incidence of HIV infection is highest in the richest households and the richest countries.

Pisani says these issues go unspoken because many people consider them racist. But without acknowledging them, she stresses, finding a way to combat the spread of HIV becomes even more nebulous than it already is.

Her grim solution? "Pray for better leaders."
