5 Sexy Summer Flings—Should You Love Him or Leave Him?

The Situation: He's the Zach to your Kelly, and you love him and everything, but you're going to different colleges hours apart. Should you try to make it work long-distance or forget it?

What You Should Do: Ditch his ass.

Hear us out: It'll be hard, but holding on to your high school boyfriend is like holding on to your past. "College is your time to re-invent yourself, not spend hours on video chat talking to your high school flame while the rest of your dorm is exploring new adventures and making new friends," Battista says.

The Situation: You bonded over fetching coffees, bitching about your boss, happy hour drinks, and make outs. But should you take Intern Boy into fall?

What You Should Do: Hang out with him more outside of the office.

When you spend a lot of time with someone in a confined community, like the office, you can eventually catch feelings. But are you really that into him...in the real world? "Test out the waters to see if you two really are compatible," Battista suggests. "Let him know that you just want to see where things go." And if you decide that you do or don't want to officially date, be clear about it because no one likes to get led on.

The Situation: Everything was adventurous and exotic and sexy—should you try to keep the flame going IRL?

What You Should Do: Say adios/adieux/auf wiedersehen.

Chalk this up to a really blissful international fling. Long distance relationships are hard. International long distance relationships are even harder. According to Battista, "Unless you have a plan to share the same time zone in the near future (like say...move from Australia to Rydell High), chances are this relationship won't stand the test of time and space." Sexy memories of your boy abroad will last a lifetime, so appreciate it for what it is and go back to reality with a smile on your face.

The Situation: He was your go-to summer piece—the guy you hooked up with after the beach and the bars, but should you try to make him your boyfriend now that summer's ending?

What You Should Do: Keep him...for now.

Are you ready for a long-term commitment? Does he have what it takes to become your boyfriend? Chances are you haven't wanted to define the relationship, but that time has come, kids. "You both need to make a decision together about how to take it forward or leave it. Pretending it will just resolve itself as the leaves turn is a fantasy that can lead to hurt feelings and bad blood," Battista truth-bombs. But, there's no harm in keeping him around until someone who really wants to be your BF comes along.

The Situation: He's been super nice to you all summer, buying you drinks, and paying special attention to you on that group trip/in your share house. He's clearly into you, but do like him in the sexy way?

What You Should Do: Keep him.

This is your opportunity to decide if you want to take him out of the friend zone. "If the answer is yes, then begin to turn up the volume on your flirting and dial down the high fives and comments about getting in on his Fantasy Football league," says Battista. "Whether you begin to lean in to him when you talk, brush his shoulder, or just give him a quick peck on the lips vs. cheek the next time he drops you off, make sure you are overt. Men are terrified of the friend zone and need massive re-assurance to make the next move."

A Turkish Hammam Will Leave You as Smooth as a Baby's Butt

If you want to be treated like a Greek Goddess, then you need to get a Turkish hammam.

What it is: This treatment is basically when you have someone bathe and exfoliate you from neck to toe. It's derived from ancient Greek and ancient Roman bathing practices, where a person is washed and massaged by another person in a super-hot room. With that in mind, and the fact that it's kind of the must-try spa treatment right now, I decided to get my hammam on at the Trump SoHo Spa.

When I arrived, I was given the option for water, tea, or champagne. You know what I chose. With my glass of bubbly in hand, I was led to the locker room where I then stripped down—taking everything off. I threw on the fluffy spa robe and slipped my feet into the slippers provided. Once I was ready, I was escorted to the bath.

The bathing room was really hot. I'm talking Bikram Yoga hot. My washer (is that the proper title?) handed me a disposable bra and thong to put on. She left the room, and I put on my new skivvies. I then looked down and gasped. I hadn't had a proper wax or groomed my vagine in months. When it's cold, I tend to let things go. Whatevs.

Once I was in my proper attire, I laid face down on towels that were placed on a heated marble bed. The washer started throwing what felt like borderline boiling hot water on me. Ah! I asked her to make it a little cooler. She did, but it was still burning hot. I was warned that if it wasn't hot enough, I wouldn't be properly exfoliated. I wanted to remove as much dead skin as possible, so I sucked it up and eventually got used to the scorching temperature.

With my bare ass in my washer's face, she got to work. Buckets of water were thrown on me. Sometimes she poured the water on me, and other times she tossed it really hard on my backside. Was this supposed to be relaxing? Because right now I felt like I was being slapped by water and I couldn't calm my mind. After I was all soaked, she started using a special exfoliating glove wash cloth to scrub my toes, legs, back, neck, and arms. She got in between all my crevices, getting really close to my butt crack and vagina. I jolted the first time she got all up in my business, but hey, this was a full-body experience.

After my backside was fully exfoliated and rinsed, my whole body except for my head was covered in soap suds (like in the photo above). I was then massaged, rinsed, and turned over to repeat the previous process.

At the end of the whole treatment, I was doused with warm water and then cold water. I watched the stream of warm water glisten on my freshly buffed skin and then screamed in horror as the cold water poured down my body. The cold water was necessary so my body wouldn't go into shock once I left the bath.

Post-hammam involved me going into a room to relax, drink more champagne, and admire my now smooth-as-a-baby's-butt skin. I'm not sure if I would do it again, but I definitely think the treatment is worth one try.

Have you had a Turkish hammam treatment?
